Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 788 Her Promise

Emelie walked into the coffee shop and saw Samuel in his wheelchair.

His legs were slowly healing, and his condition was better. However, it would still be some time before he could walk again.

He had a bodyguard with him. On the table in front of him sat a cup of coffee, untouched.

"MI. Swanson. How's your leg?' Emelie greeted him as she approached.

"I can manage a few steps with the help of a railing. The doctor says I'm recovering better than expected," Samuel said. Then, he gestured to his bodyguard to order for Emelie.

"Coffee is fine," Emelie said.

Samuel asked, "You look a bit worn out. Haven't been sleeping well?"

"I've been in Eprand last week dealing with things. Didn't really get much sleep," Emelie said as she sat down. Samuel smiled faintly. "While you were away from Coastalburg, the Swanson family has been through a lot." Emelie pressed her lips together. 'It wasn't me."

"I believe you. I spoke with Wesley two days ago and asked him if he was behind it,' Samuel said as he picked up the coffee, the dark liquid reflected in his glasses.
