Chapter 653 Wearing an Extra Layer Before Going Out

Emelie had brought only her driver that day. She stood casually by the side of the car, waiting for William to get out, and greeted him with a smile. "Mr. Middleton."

William was dressed in dark colors, as usual. He had on a black jumper and a long coat. His expression was stern and serious, but there was a slight softening of his demeanor when his eyes met hers.

"Are you here to see Ms. Thornton?" William asked.

"Are you here to see Mr. Undvike, Mr. Middleton?" Emelie asked in return.

William replied, "I was just passing by Pearl Bay and thought I'd stop by to see Ms. Thornton."

His eyes then wandered over her somewhat thin clothing. "It should be colder in Capebatt City than it is in Baliz. You should wear an extra layer if you are going out."

Emelie smiled but didn't respond to his comment. Instead, she said, "I won't keep you then, Mr. Middleton. I'll be on my way."

And with that, she got into the car. Just as the door closed, she heard William cough twice.

She turned to look back, but William was already walking toward the villa. As always, he stood straight and tall. He seemed to have no sign of discomfort.

If there was one thing that was different, it was the fact that he was dressed more warmly.
