Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 802

Emelie looked down at William.

He had just rolled through the grass, so he now carried a faint scent of fresh greenery. It reminded her of how he used to be when they were younger.

Emelie wondered how she could have forgotten him.

Was it because there were so many classmates involved in what they had done back then, where he was just one of them that he didn't stand out in her memory?

Or was it because she was so focused on Wesley at the time that even if other boys had left an impression on her, she didn't really pay attention to them?

At that moment, she found herself wondering why she was suddenly remembering all this.

When did she begin to pick up on the subtle clues in William's words about how he'd liked her since high school?

In the past, it had always seemed like a distant, unreal fantasy when he mentioned his high school crush. But now, as these memories filled in, she realized that everything had left traces.

She was suddenly aware that they had shared a bond for over ten years.

How must he have felt, knowing that she didn't remember him at all?

Had he been hurt six years ago, on that rainy night when they first met?

William asked again, "What did you say you forgot?"

"I said, did you forget to arrange for backup?" Emelie asked softly.

William shook his head. "The car's around the corner. I didn't want it too close, in case it attracted attention."

They were around the corner at the time of their conversation.

The car doors swung open, and William's men called, "Mr Middleton!"

William helped Emelie into the car first. He then looked carefully at her face.

He made sure she didn't look so bad before he got into the back seat.

"Go."

The car took off immediately. Emelie looked out the window and saw that the patrolling guards couldn't keep up and were frantically making phone calls. They were probably calling for support.
