Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 613

Chapter 613 Their Relationship 

Emelie tilted her head and looked at him. His fair, handsome face glowed warmly in the corridor light

Without saying anything, she reached for the file and opened it

Her tone was slightly somber as she said, I don’t understand what Beathan’s connection to Roman means.” 

She quickly scanned the documents inside

Meanwhile, Wesley watched as water droplets trickled from her damp hair and seeped into her cotton nightgown. The air carried a lingering scent of steam and shower gel from the bathroom

Wesley turned suddenly and headed for the study. Follow me.” 

Emelie followed him there and sat down on the sofa while still reviewing the documents

She frowned in confusion. She couldn’t see any direct connection between Roman and Beathan. The only connection one could argue was that Roman’s son, Theo, had been killed in a bullying incident, and the case was scheduled for trial the next day. However, Beathan wasn’t Roman’s lawyer

Are the people below being too suspicious?Emelie wondered

Just then, she felt a hand grab her hair

Before she could turn around, Wesley said, Hold still.” 

Emelie stopped moving, and Wesley began to dry the excess water from her hair with a towel

You’ll get a headache if you don’t dry your hair properly after a shower. Is this how you usually take care of yourself? I’ll have to ask Jodie to keep an eye on you,Wesley said

I don’t usually do this.She was neither a child nor an incompetent princess. How could she not know that

I was in a hurry to review the documents. That’s why I didn’t pay attention to my hair,Emelie said

Wesley’s tone remained calm and flat. Next time, even if you’re busy, ask a maid to help you dry your hair. Don’t do anything with your hair wet. Your health is important too.” 

Emelie’s eyes remained on the documents as she replied, I understand. You sound like an elder nagging at me.” 

Wesley looked at her while she was focused on the papers and smiled

After he helped Emelie wrung the water out of her hair, he continued to dry it. However, as he ran his fingers through her hair, he accidentally brushed the back of her neck

Emelie flinched slightly. A memory of Weston, a hotel, and a man meticulously drying her hair flashed through her mind

Her expression changed abruptly. Her body reacted faster than her mind, and she moved to sit on another sofa

Wesley didn’t question her but simply observed. His hazel eyes seemed to delve deep into her soul

After a slight pause, Emelie took the hairdryer from him and said with a forced smile, I can handle it myself. I wouldn’t want to trouble you, Mr. Cronus

“1 

Wesley let her dry her hair on her own while he walked over to the bar. He picked a bottle of wine at random, poured himself a glass, and took a sip. Only then was there a noticeable relaxation in his expression

Emelie had a vague feeling that he might have noticed who she had just remembered, which was why he seemed upset

After a while, Emelie said amidst the sound of the hairdryer, Wesley, I didn’t notice any problems with the document. Could you take a look and give me your perspective?” 

Wesley returned to her and quickly reviewed the files

Emelie continued to ponder the situation. The trial for Roman’s son’s case is tomorrow. Who’s the lawyer handling the case?” 

Fortunately, the people investigating had been thorough and had gathered all the relevant information. Wesley flipped through the documents and mentioned a name that Emelie didn’t recognize

Maybe you’re being overly cautious,Wesley suggested

It wasn’t entirely out of the question

Just as Emelie finished drying her hair, Wesley put the documents aside. Your nightgown is wet too. Go and change into a dry one and get some rest. It’s quite late.”
