Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 661 Shouldn't Have

Emelie remained silent. Just as she was about to eavesdrop on their conversation, Wesley noticed her presence and calmly told the person on the other end, "That's all. I'm hanging up."

He ended the call, put the phone down, and walked straight toward Emelie.

His figure grew clearer in her line of sight. When he reached her, he said, "I've been boiling soup for you since the morning. Have a little to tide you over. We'll have dinner together later."

Emelie handed him his coat. "Who were you talking to? You mentioned something about my birthday earlier, didn't you?"

Wesley dodged her question and changed the topic. "Your brother-in-law dropped off a box of things a few days ago. He said they were things from your sister. Since they figured you'd rather come here than go to Baliz, they left the box with me. I'll have someone bring it to you later."

He casually draped his coat over his arm. "Even if Arsen had his plans when he arranged their marriage, it's good that they actually like each other. Anthony Sorrel even learned Cedonian and sign language for Ashlyn. I'm sure they'll be happy together."
