Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 775 Sorry, I'm Too Happy

The room was quiet. For a while, the only sound was the ticking of the clock.

Emelie scrolled through her phone. Though she appeared to be busy, she was actually just switching between apps. She was rather absent-minded.

She opened her email, wanting to check for new work messages. However, she had already dealt with all the emails from before the previous night, and there were no new emails. So, her inbox was empty.

Then, she switched to another app, wanting to message Mona. However, when she looked at the clock, she noticed that it was already 2.30 AM. Mona, being an office worker, was probably asleep.

With nothing to do, Emelie grew restless and irritated. She wondered why Ashton, known for her efficiency, had not arrived yet. It had been some time already.

William suddenly said, 'If you're bored, you could pick out a book from my study. It's raining outside, so Ashton won't be here anytime soon."

Emelie didn't know that it was raining. She instinctively looked toward the window.

Outside, water streaked down the glass, breaking up the city lights into irregular patterns.
