Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 835 Lost

Ashley stared at the four dishes and the soup that Elias had prepared and stayed silent. She couldn't wrap her head around why he'd spent over an hour cooking. Wouldn't it be easier to just let the chef handle it?

She asked, "Don't you have a job to do? Are you that bored?"

Elias was unfazed, and he replied with a hint of bravado, "Exactly. I'm jobless. So, I need you, my wife, to take care of me. If you kick me out, I'd end up starving on the streets."

He ladled the soup into a bowl. "Honey, have some hot soup first."

It was a creamy fish head soup with a delicate flavor. There were red dates and ginger, and it was known to be good for the brain.

"Honey, have some hot soup first," he said.

Ashley glanced at the Xanther Group documents that she had been reviewing. Those were Beathan's main projects over the past three years, and she needed to look over them. However, written words weren't as clear as hearing it from the source.

Ashley said, "So, you joined Xanther as the executive director after falling out with the Undvike family..."

Elias looked up briefly. "That's not quite right. It wasn't just about the Undvikes. After the doctors said you were in a vegetative state and might never wake up, Jayden was worried that I'd lose it. He suggested that I should find something to do. That's why I went to work for Will at Xanther."

It wasn't because of the Undvike family. It was because of her. Elias was determined to make it clear to Ashley that, without her, he would be lost.

Ashley remained silent.
