Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 693 Charles Davis

Charles shook his head and, after finishing the banana split, went upstairs to play with Mia in the nursery.

Emmie felt a strong sense of unease and decided to check the news on her phone.

She searched for "the Davis Group" and quickly found several articles reporting that the Davis Group was facing a major crisis.

She skimmed through a few of them, which all pointed to a financial supply chain crisis that had put the Davis Group in a precarious situation.

She gripped her phone tightly and headed upstairs.

Mia, who had napped earlier in the afternoon, was currently wide awake and lively. Charles was playing a game with her—a whack-a-mole style toy where a little squirrel popped up randomly from one of twelve squares.

He held Mia's hands and used a small hammer to hit the squirrels. "Oops! You missed it! Let's try again. Hit this one! You got it! You're the best, Mia!"

Mia was delighted, giggling nonstop. Emmie had anticipated that Charles wouldn't neglect his child, but she hadn't expected him to enjoy spending time with her so much.

Emmie didn't want to interrupt their rare bonding time, so she retreated to their bedroom to take a shower. As she opened the closet to fetch her pajamas, her gaze fell on the storage box at the bottom shelf.
