Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 707 Call an Ambulance

"Hmm? What is it?" Emelie extended her hand. Samuel then placed his clenched fist over her palm and slowly opened it. Something fell into Emelie's hand.

She looked down to see a fine necklace lying there.

"It's a gift for you," Samuel said.

"This was meant to be part of your sister's dowry." Emelie hesitated to accept it, but Samuel asked, "Did you see this necklace among the ones I asked you to choose from earlier?"

Emelie examined the necklace closely. It was a fine chain with an intricately crafted pendant. Indeed, this particular piece wasn't among the jewelry she had just picked from.

Samuel added softly, "That's because I bought this one just for you."

Emelie's eyes lingered on the pendant. "It's a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis, isn't it?"

The pendant depicted a butterfly in the midst of breaking free from its cocoon, frozen in the moment of its transformation.

Samuel smiled. "Yes, when I first saw it, I knew it would be perfect for you."

Emelie, after all, was a butterfly reborn from its chrysalis, wasn't she?

Samuel looked up at the dark blue sky, with the crescent moon peeking out from behind the skyscrapers. "I still remember the tears in your eyes when you looked at the moon's reflection in my glasses years ago. It was at that moment that I vowed to always protect you." Emelie's gaze softened as she looked at him. A serene warmth replaced her usual coldness. Samuel lowered his head to meet her eyes again. There was a genuine tenderness in his eyes as he looked at her from behind his glasses.
