Winning Her Heart Back
Chapter 100 Whoâs Pregnant
Emelie politely greeted, âMrs. Middleton, are you alone?â
Vanessa took her hand, looked at her carefully, and reprimanded, âEmelle, itâs been over a mon
you last came home for a meal. Why do you look thinner again?â
Emelie apologized. âA lot of things have been going on recently
Vanessaâs face turned sour.
over a month since
âAh, but even if you had come during this time, we might not have been able to entertain you properly
âWhat happened?â Emelie asked.
âItâs all because of William and his father.â Vanessa shook her head.
âThe relationship between them has deteriorated to the extreme because of that secretary named
Daphne
âWilliam hasnât come home during this time, and he hasnât answered any calls or messages.â
It wasnât unusual for William not to come home, considering he hadnât been back for six months last time.
But not responding to calls and messages was indeed a first.
One can see how bad the relationship between father and son has become from this incident.
Emelie glanced at Vanessa discreetly.
She likely knew that one reason for the strained relationship between William and his father was Vanessa.
However, in her opinion, Vanessa, as a stepmother, had been relatively modest in all aspects.
She heard that Vanessa got an intrauterine device implanted after marrying Henry, showing her sincerity
in not wanting children and not competing with William for power, money, or status.
âI really canât understand; whatâs so good about that secretary?
âWhy does he like her so much? Clearly, youâre much better than her, Emelie,â Vanessa continued to
complain.
None of these remarks were appropriate for Emelie to respond to, so she simply listened silently.
Vanessa sighed again. âFor the fatherâson relationship to deteriorate to this extent, what will happen in
the future?
âIf that secretary had either a good family background or capability, Henry wouldnât be so opposed to
them.
*But since William likes her so much, weâll just have to accept it if thereâs no other way.â
Vanessa was more of the softâhearted type among strict parents.
However, reflecting on it, she wasnât entirely fabricating the situation.
Would she have still resigned when her contract expired if Daphne hadnât appeared?
Emelie herself didnât know the answer.
