Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 778 All to Deceive You

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

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.
