Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 748

Wesley disliked hearing 'thank you' or 'sorry' from Emelie. It felt distant and unnecessary given their close relationship.

His expression faltered, but Emelie didn’t notice. He didn't say anything about it either.

After she finished the hot chocolate, he took the empty cup and went to the kitchen. He placed it in the dishwasher, and he watched as the machine cleaned it.

He thought to himself that perhaps it was time for him to meet William.

...

The next day, Emelie woke up around noon.

She turned off the humidifier by her bedside, which she had filled with sleep-inducing essential oils. She had trouble falling asleep the night before, so she turned on the humidifier and ended up sleeping in.

She ruffled her hair, got out of bed, and went downstairs.

She saw Jodie waiting for her in the living room, having already returned from her task.

When Jodie saw her, she stood up and greeted her. "Good morning."

"Good morning. Thanks for your hard work last night." Emelie grabbed two glasses, filled them with warm water, and handed one to Jodie. "So, how did it go?"

Jodie accepted the glass with both hands and began to report. "We didn't find anything."

Emelie frowned slightly and motioned for her to sit down. "What happened?"

Jodie began to explain in detail. "Marcel and I posed as a tourist couple and went straight to the front desk to check-in.

"The receptionist asked how we found their hotel, noting that they don't advertise online and that there are plenty of well-known hot spring hotels in the area. They thought it was strange we chose theirs.

"We explained that we're spontaneous travelers and that we rarely plan our trips ahead of time. We just go wherever the road takes us, so we hadn't booked a hotel in advance and just randomly picked theirs. We said if they were fully booked, we could go somewhere else."

Emelie smiled. "Smart move. What happened next?"

Jodie continued explaining, "The receptionist asked for approval from someone higher up, and after getting it, they gave us a room."

Emelie grinned. "They probably thought that turning you away would raise suspicion and create unnecessary complications. What happened next?"

Jodie said, "Then a staff member took us to a room on the sixth floor and informed us that they offer complimentary full-body massages and foot spas. These services are provided by individuals who are deaf and mute.

"When we inquired about that, they explained that the owner is a philanthropist dedicated to supporting society by creating job opportunities for people with disabilities."

Emelie sipped her water, pondering about the disabled people.
