Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 778

Emelie slept in until noon the next day.

She rubbed her throbbing temples and went into the bathroom. Then, she went to take a shower, hoping it would clear her groggy mind.

While she was brushing her teeth, she glanced at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes were bloodshot. She remembered that she had returned to the old house around four in the morning.

William's comment that last night had been the happiest he had been in three years echoed in her mind. Her brushing motion slowed as she thought about that.

After she spat out the toothpaste and rinsed her mouth, she grabbed a face towel and dried her face as she made her way out of the room.

She decided to head downstairs and get herself some water. Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, she found Wesley sitting on the sofa in the hallway.

For a moment, Emelie thought that she might be imagining things. However, a closer look confirmed that it was indeed Wesley.

"When did you get back?" she asked in surprise.

"I arrived this morning," Wesley replied, looking her from head to toe as he stood up.

"Why the rush? Have you sorted out the theme park issue?" Emelie suddenly recalled the events of the previous night and realized she had forgotten to call him and ask for an update.

Wesley looked at her deeply, his eyes filled with emotions that Emelie found hard to decipher.

She instinctively touched her face. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wesley had already asked the bodyguards about Emelie's return. They had noted the time she came back and that she was wearing different clothes from the ones she wore in the morning.

He could already guess what happened last night. He swallowed hard as he observed Emelie for several moments.

In the end, he didn't ask the questions he wanted to and simply said, "The theme park situation is quite complicated. It seems my aunt is involved. I wanted to discuss how we should handle it."
