Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 841

After dinner, Ashley and Beathan took a stroll along the street.

The moonlight was soft, and the streetlights bathed everything in a warm glow.

They chatted as they walked, discussing how the law firm they once worked for had closed down, and a small tech startup developing apps replaced the firm.

They also mentioned that their alma mater was celebrating its centennial that year. If they had the time, they might attend the celebration together.

Their conversation was filled with laughter, and the atmosphere was harmonious. It was as though nothing had ever gone wrong.

For a moment, Beathan almost felt the evening was just a beautiful dream that he conjured. However, he knew it was real.

He even began to think that perhaps Ashley's coma for three years was a good thing. At least, she no longer hated him. Her mental illness left her numb to joy, anger, and sorrow. She no longer harbored hatred or resentment toward him.

To Beathan, it was a blessing. He hoped that she would never fully recover.

Ashley also mentioned that, after three years in a coma, her knowledge seemed to have faded. She couldn't memorize any of the laws and regulations.

She had taken on a pro bono case to help construction workers recover unpaid wages. Though she had all the necessary materials, she struggled to approach the case.

"How about we have lunch together tomorrow? You can bring the materials. I'll help you take a look at them. I helped you edit your first complaint, remember?" Beathan couldn't tear his eyes away from her face for even a second.

Ashley lowered her gaze and looked down at the ground.

"Of course, I remember. I also remember that you were there with me for my first open court," she said calmly.

Beathan responded, "I can go with you to this trial too."

Ashley looked at him and nodded. "Sure."

Beathan smiled. He couldn't help but unconsciously move a step closer. "Ash, we..."

Ashley glanced at her watch and said, "It's getting late. I'm heading back. You should too."
