Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 771

At night, the road laid deserted except for the man and woman embracing in the middle and four cars parked in the distance. These cars belonged to Emelie’s bodyguards.

Without Jodie present, and given that Lyle had worked for William and was easily lured away, the bodyguards found themselves lacking clear orders. This left them unsure about whether they should separate them or not.

Usually, they would have taken action. However, since Emelie did not seem to be resisting, it would have been inappropriate for them to intervene.

After they've discussed amongst themselves, the bodyguards decide to stay put in their vehicles, observing the situation closely. They would intervene if Emelie showed any signs of needing help.

In reality, Emelie was resisting. It was just that her struggles weren't violent, so they went unnoticed.

Following her outburst, she felt increasingly weakened. She wasn't able to even push William away.

It was weird. As a secretary accustomed to social drinking, Emelie was well aware of her own tolerance. The amount that she had drunk that evening should not have led to intoxication. Nevertheless, she felt unusually weak and her heart pounded faster than usual.

Could the unique recipe of the plum wine be the reason? Was it different from regular alcohol? She wasn't sure.

Her throat was dry, and she wanted something cool to drink or touch.

She breathed heavily, and the unique scent of William enveloped her senses.

His usual coldness, which made him feel unreachable back then, now felt like a lone umbrella in a blazing 40 degree heat. It was something she was unwilling to push away.

She subconsciously moved closer, her nose pressing against his chest. She inhaled deeply and, as she exhaled, her warm breath brushed against William’s collarbone and throat.

She felt uneasy, and so did William. In fact, he could even sense his own body responding to being so close to Emelie.

William had liked Emelie ever since high school, and he had always harbored desires for her. During the few years they were together, apart from the last six months of their relationship, they were frequently intimate, even a simple tease could lead them to bed.

After being apart for so long, Emelie was finally nestled in his embrace again.

William felt emotions surging within him.
