Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 767 Mr. Middleton, Save Me

William's voice was colder than the lingering winter chill. "Mr. Swanson and Mr. Collins, it seems you've kept me out of the loop. Why didn't you inform me of such an entertaining show in advance?"

Beathan responded with a sincere expression, "Mr. Middleton, you haven't been feeling well recently, remember? We thought that it wasn't a big deal, so we didn't want to disturb your rest."

He paused before continuing with a smile. "Besides, this is our way of apologizing to Ms. Pierce. It didn't seem directly related to you, so we decided not to bother you with it. Now that you know, it's the same."

These were, of course, mere excuses.

William didn't take the bait and ignored this clumsy attempt to smooth things over. He asked, "Mr. Collins and Mr. Swanson, did you not do your research before sending this gift? Daphne is my mother's caregiver."

Bryan pretended to be surprised. "I had no idea that you two were connected in that way. We honestly didn't know. We only heard that Ms. Pierce was searching for this woman everywhere, so we thought that we'd do her a favor."
