Chapter 531
Winning Her Heart Back
Chapter 531 Genuinely Disgusted
Both Elle and William hurned around in unison.
Charles, clad in a sult, approached them. âjust came to visit a friend at the hospital. What are the odds of running into you two?â
Whether this truly was a coincidence or Charles was keeping tabs on them, william couldnât be bothered to investigate, âMr. Davis, you havenât left Capehabt City yet? Donât you have a company to run?â
Charles smiled. âActually, Iâm returning to Calmerest tomorrow. Thatâs why I said it was a coincidence that I bumped into both of you right before I left How about we have dinner together?
Have you two eaten yet?
Ever since Emelle knew that Charles played a role in her fatherâs death, she couldnât look at him with the same warmth she once had back in Weston. Her gaze was cold.
ckin We
Charles naturally picked up on the hostly in her eyes,
He let out achuckle. âWhy are you looking at me like that, Ms. Hoven? Is it because of Edwardâs sukide?â
He glanced at their hands which were clasped together. âYou forgave Mr. Middleton, so why canât you forgive me as well? I didnât mean to, you knowâ
was Charles implying that, since Emelie could still forgive William even though what he did was far worse, she couldnât also forgive him too?
She was brought back to the time when she had just arrived at Hillcrest Tower and saw her fatherâs blood on the ground
Her face turned pale, and she yanked her hand back from Williamâs grasp as it struck by a bolt of lightning. She was trembling slightly.
When William reached out to take her hand again, she pursed her lips tightly together and shot daggers at him
âDonât you dare touch meâ thespat.
Williamâs hand froze in mid-air
Charles rinsed an eyebrow. âWhatâs this? is Ms. Hoven upset with Mr. Middleton too? Thatâs a shame. He seems like such a good man, even bringing you to visit Mrs. Hoven.â
Williamâs gaze flickered toward Emelje, his expression was unreadable.
He said to Charles, âSheâs not in a good mood after seeing Mrs. Hoven in her current state in the ICU. Donât take it personally, Mr. Davis.â
Charles pretended to be enlightened. âConsidering that Ms. Hoven is pregnant, itâs only natural for her to be more emotional than usual. Thatâs the more reason to have a good meal, itâll lift her spirits. Shall we have dinner at the Westward Club, Mr. Middleton?
William didnât object
âVery well,â he agreed.
âGreat. See you at the Westward Club, Charles said before taking his car and leaving
William glanced at the side of the road, where a black car was parked and had been tailing them discreetly. It left immediately.
A hint of anger appeared in Williamâs eyes, but he suppressed his emotions as he turned back to Ernelle.
He gently coaxed her. âAngelâ
Emelie looked away. The hatred that had been stirred within her burned fiercelyand couldnât be doused.
It was all William, Charles, and the four familiesâ doing. They worked together to cause the deaths of both her fathers. Two fathers, gone just like that.
A cool night breeze ruffled Emelieâs hair as they stood on the sidewalk, her expression was cold
After a long while, Emelie seemed to have calmed down a little. That was when William finally spoke. âIâm going to say it one more time. I didnât force Edward. His suicide wasnât part of the plan.â
Emelie scoffed. She didnât even want to argue with him. She simply opened the car door and got out of the car.
He got our of the car, leaned on the car door, and bent down, âI know you hate Charles, but you have to come to dinner with me. The show we are going to put on tonight is crucial As the pregnant Mrs. Middleton, do you know what you should do later?
Emelie glanced at him coldly. âWhy should I cooperate with you?â
William saw a chance to negotiate. âI can promise you one more thingâ
âTwo things,â Emelie countered.
âOneâ William said.
âThree things.â Emelie didnât back down.
Willian was both exasperated and amused. âAre you trying to hike the price up again?
Emelie replied, âYes. If you keep negotiating with me, itâll be four things nextâ
William got in the cat as well. âJust two things. Donât push your luck, Mrs. Middleton
Besides, she had given the password to the ICU to Wesley, so Gretaâs rescue was imminent. By then, she would use these promises and ask William to let her stroll around outside. Dore she was out of Eastbay, escape would be easy
They went into a private room at the Westward Club
Chades had ordered dishes that had a strong smell, like fish and prawn. He seemed to be testing il Emelie was pregnant or not
The mometa the dishes were placed on the table, finelie felt n museated due to the smell. She wasnât acting, she was genumely disgusted.
