Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 258 Who Are You to judge Them?

Emelle turned around and replied, “I slept soundly last night, so I didn’t know.”

Willem looked at her. After drying his hands, he said, “After what you just said, shouldn’t you follow up by asking me where I went last night?” Emelie frowned slightly. “I don’t recall ever interfering with your daily activities before, Mr. Middleton.”
