Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 778 All to Deceive You

Emelie slept in until noon the next day.

She rubbed her throbbing temples and went into the bathroom. Then, she went to take a shower, hoping it would clear her groggy mind.

While she was brushing her teeth, she glanced at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes were bloodshot. She remembered that she had returned to the old house around four in the morning.

William's comment that last night had been the happiest he had been in three years echoed in her mind. Her brushing motion slowed as she thought about that.

After she spat out the toothpaste and rinsed her mouth, she grabbed a face towel and dried her face as she made her way out of the room.

She decided to head downstairs and get herself some water. Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, she found Wesley sitting on the sofa in the hallway.

For a moment, Emelie thought that she might be imagining things. However, a closer look confirmed that it was indeed Wesley.

"When did you get back?" she asked in surprise.
