Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 611

Chapter 611 Acting Out 

“Shut up!” Elias shouted. 

Roman was so intimidated by Elias‘ presence that he couldn’t say a word. 

“If you cause trouble here again, I’ll make sure you’ll spend a few days in jail.” Elias released his hand. 

Ashley calmly added, “There’s no need to wait. The police are on their way.” 

Roman fell to his knees when he heard that. “Mrs. Thornton, please don’t arrest me. You’re pregnant and a parent. Please understand a father’s pain.” 

Ashley wasn’t sympathetic. “This isn’t the first time you’ve caused trouble. I’ve warned you before that if you do it again, you’re going to regret it. Plead with the police, not me.” 

With that, she walked past him into the office. 

Roman was furious and began to curse at her. Just then, Elias turned around and kicked a table, causing it to crash loudly. 

Roman was terrified. 

Elias was brimming with anger. He wouldn’t have let Roman leave the office unscathed if he wasn’t worried about causing trouble for Ashley. 

Fortunately, the police arrived quickly and took Roman away. 

Elias exhaled deeply. His expression was still cold as he entered Ashley’s office. 

He tugged at his tie and said, “I’ll send a few men here to keep anyone like that from causing trouble again.” 

Ashley looked at him and realized what it meant to not fit a role, even when appropriately dressed. Despite wearing a formal suit, Elias looked more like a thug. His presence was too wild to be contained in an office. 

“Little boys are just full of boundless energy,” Ashley thought as she hung her bag on the coat rack. 

She turned on her computer and asked, “Why did you come back?” 

“You left your candy behind, so I brought it back here.” Elias placed a jar of sour plum candy on her desk. 

Ashley nodded. “You can go now.” 

Elias was on his way out. But after a few steps, he turned back and noticed a cold look on Ashley’s face. 

He asked, “Ash, are you upset?” 

“I’m not,” she simply replied. 

“I can tell that you are.” Elias walked back to her. “Is it because he insulted you?” 

He pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth. “Should I find someone to beat him up? I promise it won’t be traced back to you.” 

Ashley was indeed upset. She looked up and glared at him. “It’s because of you.” 

Elias chuckled and sat down on the edge of the desk. 

He asked, “I haven’t done anything to upset you lately, have I, Ash?” 

“I don’t like my plans being disrupted. If you hadn’t suddenly gotten me pregnant, I could have been more prepared!” Ashley said. 

Elias scratched his nose. “What more do you need to prepare?” 

“Don’t you see? If our child isn’t in a good environment, they could end up surrounded by bad influences. If they were fortunate, they might only need to deal with a judge. But if they’re unfortunate, they might end up in front of a coroner,” Ashley explained. 

Elias found it amusing. “Our child will never be bullied.” 

Ashley retorted, “There’s no absolute guarantee!” 

“So you’re saying we should carefully choose the school and classmates for the child before we even have one? Is that even possible? Even if you tried, could you prevent everything? Life is full of surprises,” Elias said. 

Ashley didn’t answer him.

After a moment of pondering, Elias pulled her out from behind her desk. “You’re not working today.”
