Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 712

William had brought two cars. One was a nanny car, and the other was a sedan. William told Patrice to go to the sedan first.

Patrice used to think that William was too aloof to ever get married. Now, she thought that William was too humble and accommodating, which might also leave him single.

"Patrice," William called out in a deep voice.

Patrice snapped back and said, "Look at how weak you are."

Then, she stomped off to the sedan.

William and Emelie were left alone to board the nanny car.

Patrice sat in the backseat of the sedan. Her arms were crossed, and she had a furious expression.

Ashton tried to soothe her. "Ms. Wade, please don't be angry with Ms. Pierce."

Patrice paused and then sighed. "I'm not really mad at Emelie. It's just that I can't stand how William has been neglecting his own health. It was just a bail situation. He didn't need to come himself. I could have handled it.

"Showing up at the police station with the Middleton family name would've given us enough clout. He didn't need to personally brave the snowstorm to be here."

What bothered her more was that Emelie didn't even appreciate William's effort, which Patrice found unbearable.

Ashton hesitated to respond. She wanted to explain that the situation between them was complicated, and Patrice didn't understand enough to judge Emelie so harshly.

Patrice worriedly asked, "Did the doctor say that his tumor has spread again?"

Ashton nodded and replied quietly, "There hadn't been any indications for surgery before, but now it's possible. Still, I don't think Mr. Middleton will go through with it."

Patrice was anxious. "Why not? This isn't something that can be delayed."

Ashton worriedly glanced at the nanny car ahead and frowned in concern.

...

The nanny car was spacious, with seats and a small table inside.

Emelie sat down on a small sofa and started eating immediately. She opened the takeout container and was greeted by the aroma of sweet potatoes topped with sour cream.

She didn't feel hungry before, but now she realized she was starving. She tasted the sour cream and found it delicious.

Meanwhile, the man sitting across from her was simply watching her.

She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Mr. Middleton, aren't you going to eat?"
