Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 917

"Nope. It's just a disagreement between two guys. Nothing to worry about." Wesley's lips curled slightly.

Emelie snapped back, "Nothing to worry about? Are you shitting me?"

Wesley paused briefly. He had never heard Emelie curse, not even once.

He realized that she had done it because of him, and a slight smile tugged at his mouth. "Eme, no swearing."

"I'll say what I want! You have the nerve to get into a fight, and now you're telling me not to curse? Hypocrite!" Emelie leaned in closer to check on his injuries, growing angrier the more she saw.

"Seriously, who did this to you? Why were you even fighting?" she asked worriedly.

Wesley didn't want to answer. He moved his aching limbs and said, "Eme, come here and give me a hug."

"You wish!" she yelled.

Meanwhile, there was William next door.

The doctor tried to apply ointment on William's bruised face. However, William brushed it off with a blank expression.

"No need. You can go," William said.

The doctor hesitated briefly, but didn't dare to say much. He packed up his medical kit and left.

Both boys had similar injuries, and they were nothing serious. Since the security guards had broken up the fight quickly, they only bore surface wounds.

Neither of their doors were shut, so William could hear everything from the other side. He could hear Emelie's voice full of worry and concern while she talked to Wesley.

To William, hearing her words stung more than any physical blow.

…

The school didn't dare impose any punishment for Wesley and William's fight. They simply informed their parents.

Henry no longer had control over William. On the other hand, the Graham family was completely caught off guard.

Wesley had always been calm and composed when he was younger. He was never one to lose his temper, let alone get into a physical fight. He hadn't even argued.

What could have pushed him to throw punches on school grounds? He couldn't even wait to deal with it outside the school?

Yennifer was leading a quiet life as the matriarch of the Graham family. However, she wouldn't stay on the sidelines. She immediately sent someone to investigate. After all, nothing happens without leaving a trace.

Soon enough, Yennifer found out that the fight had been over a girl.

Well, well. Wesley got into a fight over a girl? Yennifer couldn't help but be amused.

Wesley always had flowers and paper hearts from little girls from kindergarten onwards. Didn't he keep cool and turn them all down?

Yennifer felt a surge of pride. Her son was finally growing up. She wasn't worried about teenage romance affecting Wesley's studies at all.

At Capebatt High School, a handful of students relied on academics to change their futures. Most were wealthy heirs, treating high school as a stepping stone before heading abroad. Wesley's path was already set.

Besides, Yennifer had grown up under the stifling control of her mother. She knew that kind of misery and didn't want to pass it down to her son.

If Wesley wanted to date, she would let him. It was perfectly normal for teenagers to make friends and test boundaries.

Besides, Yennifer was an open-minded mother. She wouldn't interfere with or restrict Wesley's choices.

Still, she couldn't help but wonder. Who could have made the two most prominent heirs in Capebatt City fight? How extraordinary could the girl be?

Yennifer's curiosity got the best of her, and she looked into it further. Maybe she'd even take a look at that girl for herself.

It wasn't easy for Yennifer to go out unnoticed. She always had to disguise herself to avoid being recognized by the Four Families. In the past decade, she had only stepped out of her home about three to five times.

Yennifer made careful preparations. She drove a modest car to the school gate and patiently waited. Eventually, she spotted Wesley walking out with Emelie after school.

Yennifer felt an undeniably harmonious air at the sight of the two. It was as if they were meant to be.

She was pleasantly surprised and took an instant liking to Emelie, who seemed sweet and charming. If Wesley and Emelie were serious, she wouldn't mind if they got married someday.

Yennifer followed them in her car all the way to Emelie's house. After Wesley left, Yennifer put on her sunglasses, got out of the car, and entered the family's store.

She pretended to browse as she secretly watched Emelie help her mother stock shelves. She was delighted to see that Emelie was a beautiful and well-mannered girl.

Of course, Emelie also noticed Yennifer too. It was hard not to notice a sophisticated woman loading her shopping basket with items. She clearly looked like someone who didn't belong in their modest neighborhood.

Emelie couldn't help but comment, "Ma'am, this cake is freshly made, but it's only good for three days in the fridge. Are you sure you'll be able to finish all of them?"

Yennifer glanced at Emelie through her sunglasses. "Oh, it's freshly made? Did you bake it?"

"My family made it. You can try a sample first before buying. But if you live alone, I wouldn't recommend buying so many," Emelie said as she cut a small piece for Yennifer to try.

"I have plenty of people at home. We can finish them. I see from your uniform you go to Capebatt High School? My son goes there too," Yennifer said as she studied Emelie.
