Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 615

"This is a courthouse. Everyone must go through two security checks before entering. He can't bring in any weapons," Ashley said.

She wasn't too concerned about Roman. After years as a lawyer, she had encountered clients with even more extreme behavior.

She added, "You should go to the office for your meeting."

Elias didn't want to leave. He lowered his head and said, "Since I'm here, let's have a celebratory meal after the trial is over. You've worked hard, Ms. Thornton."

Ashley looked up and saw her reflection in his eyes. "The case isn't even over yet. How do you know I'll win?"

Elias replied confidently, "Because you're Ashley Thornton."

Therefore, she would win.

Ashley's expression remained unchanged, but a close observer would catch a subtle smile at the corners of her mouth.

"I almost forgot I have something for you." Elias had been holding a tote bag, and Ashley had been wondering what was in it.

As she looked down, she was surprised to see Elias take out a thermos.

Elias started rambling. "Inside is some tea, warm and ready to drink if you're thirsty. And here are some sour plum candies. If you feel nauseous, just have one. I heard trials can last for hours. If you get hungry, eat these. And also this…"

Ashley was overwhelmed. She felt embarrassed. "I'm going to court, not a field trip."

Wasn't this a bit excessive?

However, Elias didn't care about other people's opinions. After all, what was wrong with taking care of his wife?

After handing all the items to Ashley, he added, "There's no law against drinking water in court."

He gently caressed her belly and said, with a tone of both persuasion and firmness, "Be good, and don't make things difficult for your mother."

Their baby was active and would constantly kick as if they were doing military drills in Ashley's womb.

Ashley pressed her lips together. Elias had promised to take care of her during her pregnancy, and he was indeed meticulous about it. She thought it wouldn't be so bad if they could stay together forever.
