Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 724

Emelie saw Samuel approaching from the crowd. He must have come to defuse the situation, knowing something was amiss.

They were such rude guests...

She glanced at William, then at Wesley, before raising an eyebrow. "Am I an object? What's this 'his' and 'yours' nonsense? Mr. Cronus, where are your manners and respect?"

Wesley was momentarily surprised, then smiled. "You're right. I'm sorry."

Emelie wasn't satisfied with just an apology. "Just an apology? That's not enough."

The guests were astonished. They watched as this wealthy and influential man, known in Capebatt City as Mr. Cronus of the Filo Group, apologize because of his fiancee's words.

"Then I'll write an apology letter when we reach home. Don't be angry, okay?" Wesley said.

The female guests were captivated. Who could resist a charming and handsome man speaking to them in such a persuasive tone?

The male guests were impressed by Emelie's ability to deal with such a prominent figure.

William had heard her phone conversations with Wesley before, but seeing it first hand was more impactful.

He realized, for the first time, that she had never acted this way with him. She had never spoken to him in a flirtatious manner. She had never been this affectionate with him in public. Their past was always kept private.

At that moment, Emelie gave a reluctant hum of agreement.

She withdrew her wrist from Wesley's hand and turned to face William. She said politely, "If you want to dance, Mr. Middleton, you can invite another lady. Or we could dance when the next opportunity arises. My feet are hurting in these high heels, so I can't continue. Please let go."

After a few seconds, William finally released her hand.

Emelie had always been emotionally intelligent. She didn't want William and Wesley to continue their confrontation at Melanie's wedding, so she took the initiative to mediate.

Her mediation also served another purpose. It addressed the minor gossip caused by the two men. She could flirt with Wesley. However, with William, she was formal and polite. It was clear who she sided with.

When Samuel arrived, the atmosphere had become relaxed.

He nodded to William and Emelie, and then said to Wesley, "Mr. Graham, I apologize for the inadequate reception. Please forgive me."
