Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 884

The bridal room had grown quiet. The once lively chatter of bridesmaids and groomsmen had disappeared.

The door was closed, leaving only the two of them.

It seemed the countdown to the ceremony was irrelevant now.

Emelie sat quietly on the edge of the bed in her dazzling wedding gown. Her hair ornament swayed gently beside her temple.

After a long pause, she finally broke the silence. "William, I thought that you'd come last night."

William's throat tightened. "If I had come, would you have called off the wedding?"

Emelie shook her head. "It doesn't matter anymore. You didn't show up."

It was only then that William realized what he had missed. A deep, aching pain gripped him as he clasped Emelie's hands. Her fingers were cold, and he gently cupped them in his palms to warm them.

"I'm sorry, Angel. There were too many things on my mind," he said.
