Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 37 Have A Child

William wasn’t a promiscuous man. At the very least, Emelie had been the only woman he’d ever been with during the three years she worked for him.

So right now, William could only seek her out when he couldn’t get released from Daphne out of respect for Daphne’s traditional values.

Emelie recalled how William had praised Daphne for being well–raised when he was talking about her

values the other day.

Emelie wasn’t as “well–raised” as Daphne was. Emelie wouldn’t have slept with and stayed by William’s side for three years in an ambiguous relationship with him otherwise, and ultimately being tossed aside by William like a used doll.

It was a good thing Emelie left him earlier so she didn’t get in the way of him having a family of his own.

At the thought of family, Emelie placed a hand on her abdomen, tears welling in her eyes as sadness

overwhelmed her.

“Be careful on the way home. Get some rest,” William said to Daphne after dropping her off in her neighborhood like usual.

Daphne nodded and unbuckled her seatbelt before opening the door. The moment she took a step

outside, she turned back to William, biting her lip. “Can you walk me home, Mr. Middleton? One of the streetlights outside my house is spoiled, so it’s dark there.”

William was somewhat distracted. “Is that all you want me to do?”
