Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 838 Same Old Place

Ashley wanted to take off the mask. After all, wearing sunglasses indoors felt ridiculous. However, before she could, Elias grabbed her hand and stopped her.

Amidst their bicker, the door suddenly opened, and Elias instinctively turned to see who it was.

Instead of Beathan, it was his housekeeper.

"May I help you?" she asked.

"We're Mr. Collins' colleagues from Xanther. We heard that he's been seriously ill, so we came to check on him," Elias calmly stated.

"Mr. Collins doesn't live here anymore," the housekeeper replied.

"He's not here anymore? Where is he staying now?" Elias was puzzled.

Though Beathan was under medical care, he wasn't supposed to leave Capebatt City.

"I'm... not sure. Mr. Collins hasn't been back for a while now," the housekeeper said. Elias wanted to ask more, but Ashley nodded in thanks and returned to the car.

Elias ran his hand through his short, neatly combed hair, feeling slightly prickly, but in a good mood.

"Who knows where he is now? Since we couldn't see him, let's just head home," Elias said. He was feeling more than satisfied that Ashley didn't have to meet Beathan. Ashley remained silent as Elias hummed and drove back home.
