Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 721

Emelie was stunned. She turned around and saw that her dance partner had a new partner. William had pulled a switcheroo.

Since his outburst and those strange words the other day, Emelie felt frustrated whenever she saw him.

"Mr. Middleton, that's quite rude." She tried to break free from his hold, but despite the gentle grip on her waist and hand as they danced, she couldn't escape.

William's tone was indifferent. "Switching dance partners is a social custom, Ms. Pierce. Don't be surprised. Let's spin."

He lifted his hand and allowed Emelie to spin underneath it. She planned to flee when he released her, but he pulled her back in and continued holding her.

Emelie felt toyed with, but she held her frustration back. She didn't want to create a scene and ruin Melanie's wedding.

She decided that she would endure it. A dance lasted only three to five minutes, so she would wait for the music to end.

William guided her through the dance, his movements smooth and effortless.

He asked, "What have you been doing lately?"

Emelie replied coldly, "None of your business."

Even if she didn't tell him, he already knew.

"Elias found the renowned neurosurgeon, Shane Santiago, to treat Ms. Thornton. You've been visiting Elias frequently to see Ms. Thornton," he stated.

Emelie repeated, "None of your business."

After a pause, William continued speaking, his tone growing serious. "Ms. Thornton's treatment progress and condition are confidential, but your frequent visits and gifts like clothes, shoes, bags, wine, and gourmet food suggest that Ms. Thornton has awakened. You're trying very hard to signal her recovery."

"None of your business," Emelie said once more.

"Try saying that again," William demanded, tightening his grip on her waist, pulling her closer.
