Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 822

Emelie didn't forget. How could she possibly forget something like this?

"I’ve been seeking revenge all along. I never strayed from my path," Emelie replied calmly.

She noticed the butler opening the car door, and Wesley stepped out of the car, dressed in light-colored attire. He spoke to the butler as he walked toward the house.

Jodie said, "Yes, you’ve taken down three out of the four people on your list, with only William left. You should stay focused. And you’re right. You can marry anyone but him. You’ve been deceived too many times."

Emelie balled her hands into fists. Her nails, which were untrimmed for days, dug into her palms. The slight pain brought her back to reality.

As Wesley entered the house, Emelie walked down the stairs.

Their eyes met, and the tension in Emelie’s nerves suddenly eased. She smiled and quickened her pace.

Wesley walked toward her as well and pulled her into a hug. "You’ve had a tough few days."

Perhaps from his rushed return, Emelie felt that Wesley’s embrace was a bit cold. "It’s fine. We won, so it’s worth it. I already said that getting two lives in return wouldn’t be a loss."

"Did Dr. Miles check on you?" Wesley asked gently. "Are you hurt?"

"With me by her side, how could she be hurt?" William walked down from the second floor.

The two men’s eyes met. One was indifferent, the other was calm.

Wesley released Emelie and stepped slightly to the side, then took a step forward to shield her behind him.

"I should thank you, Mr. Middleton, for protecting Eme over the last few days," Wesley said.

William leaned against the banister and smirked. "Do you call her Eme? I thought you’d call her Mandy."

Emelie turned her head to the side, detecting the hidden meaning in his words.
