Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 657

Charles halted his steps, but without a reply to her question, he slammed the door behind him and left.

He walked quickly out of the Westward Club, stopping once he reached the entrance.

Agitated, he pulled a piece of candy from his pocket, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth.

It was a hard candy, but he bit into it nonetheless. The sharp edges of the crushed candy pricked the inside of his mouth a little.

Letting the cold wind settle him down, he stood in it for a while. Then he instructed his secretary, "Find out why Emmie Gatlin is here."

The secretary couldn't help but ask, "Do you suspect that she isn't just here by coincidence but was arranged to be here by someone?"

Charles was no fool. He sneered. "There's no such thing as coincidence. There's definitely something going on."

"Got it."

...

Jodie held an umbrella and opened the car door.

As Emelie got out of the car, she noticed that William's car had also stopped by the side of the road.

He was driving a Lamborghini. When the driver reached out for an umbrella to shield him from the rain, William took the umbrella himself and walked up to her on his own instead.

He coughed a couple of times on his way.

His cold was aggravated by the cold wind mixed with rain. By the time he was in front of her, he was still coughing.

Emelie said, "Mr. Middleton, if you're not feeling well, why did you bother to come here today?"

She thought he was here to question her about her intentions toward Charles, but instead, after lowering his hand from his lips, he asked, "Are you hungry?"

Emelie narrowed her eyes. "Haven't we just finished eating? Mr. Middleton, do you digest that quickly?"

William replied calmly, "You spent the entire meal plotting and spinning lies, hardly touching your food. Instead of ordering cold room service at the hotel, why don't we find a place where you can get something warm to eat?"

Emelie smiled. "What was I plotting?"

"Emmie was once Charles' woman. I don't think it was a coincidence that she appeared today. Neither do I, and I do not think that Charles does either. It's too obvious that you arranged this." William exposed her.

Emelie frowned as if troubled. "Mr. Middleton, I've noticed that after a few years of not seeing each other, you've developed a habit of slandering me. You are always saying things that I don't understand. I feel unjustly treated."

She gave a feigned sigh of regret, then turned back to the car. "Well, Mr. Middleton, if you find me so unpleasant, let's not bother going on with dinner. Goodbye and goodbye."
