Chapter 457 He Won’t Harm Her
When she woke up, the room was silent, with only her on the bed
Emelie sat up and felt heavy–headed. The consequence of a chaotic night of dreams was waking up feeling like her soul hadn’t returned to its place.
She stayed still for a while. When she heard movement outside, she got out of bed and opened the door. William was at the dining table, unpacking a thermal bag and taking out
several food containers.
He caught a glimpse of her from the corner of his eye and tumed to look at her. Emelie’s expression was somewhat dazed
William smiled slightly and said, “You’re awake. Freshen up, then come and eat.”
Emelle didn’t need to ask. She knew that Ashton or Fabian had delivered the food.
So, she nodded and went to the bathroom to freshen up. When she was ready, she went to get some breakfast.
William not only had Ashton deliver food but also some clothes.
He was still dressed in a black shirt. The difference now was that he had on a narrow black tie. Compared to his usual appearance, this made him look younger and more fashionable.
His sleeves were rolled up to his forearms, revealing the muscular lines of his arms and his blue watch. No matter how he accessorized, every move he made still carried a hint of elegance.
Emelie looked around before picking up a fork and taking a meatball. Unexpectedly, the meatball was juicy, and when she bit into it, the gravy dripped down her mouth.
She exclaimed loudly and quickly reached for a tissue William was quicker and handed her a tissue. “This place is known for their juicy meatballs with gravy. Fortunately, it’s been left to cool for a while. Otherwise, you would have burned yourself in your hurry to eat.”
Emilie looked up at him. His smile was a little less cold and a little more deting as he asked, “Are you going to the hospital to see your mother today? I’ll give you a ride and visit her boo. After all, she’s my mother–in–law now,”
Emelle chewed slowly. She hadn’t mentioned the paternity test to him. She just shook her head. “My mom knows about my dad jumping off the building and should know about the will. She might not even want to see me, let alone you. Fill go by mysel”
William frowned. “Who told her?”
“My sister.”
William didn’t comment but instead asked, “Shall I pick you up for lunch ar the hospital?”
Still, Emelle refused him. “No, thanks. Mona has a few interviews today. She might come to find me to chat about which job is suitable for her. I will eat with her.” “What about tonight?”
William suddenly became so clingy that Emelle was feeling not used to it. “Aren’t you by
William was good at seizing opportunities. He hurriedly suggested her return to his side. “I’m busy. Can you come help me?”
Before, Emelie had been considering resigning from Swanson Corporation. After all, she was worried about her mother. She now had another reason to leave as well. She pursed her lips. “I intended to resign from Swanson Corporation.”
Willam looked at her. “Do you want to return to Cloudex Corporation?
Emelie gently tapped her watch with the end of her fork. “Mr. Middleton, you’ll be late for work.”
She didn’t give him a straight answer. William looked at her for a while before finishing breakfast and getting up to leave
Emelle tidied up the table before going back to her room to change clothes and then went out.
Just as she was walking downstairs, someone followed behind her. She turned around to see the woman that she had seen with Wesley the night before.
she had shoulder–length hair and a capable demeanor, looking like a professional. She conscientiously introduced herself by saying, “Ms. Hoven, I’m Jodie Noble. Mr. Graham sent me to follow you just in case.
Umelle asked, “Just in case of whathi
Jodie couldn’t elaborate. So, she just said, “Mr. Graham said that Capebatt City is currently not safe. You must be careful when you go out, and don’t easily trust anyone.”
Emelie asked again, “Does anyone‘ include him?
Jodie paused, then replied, “Uh. Of course not”
“Why not him? Why is he the exception?” Emelle continued to question as she stared at her.
Jodie felt that Emelie’s seemingly inconspicuous but actually aggressive eyes were oppressive. They were no weaker than Wesley’s. She cleared her throat and said, “Mr. Graham won’t harm you‘
leven report
Emelie chuckled. “He sends people to follow me and take pictures at me at the slightest provocation. Do you think he’s credible? I consulted my lawyer friend. I could ev han to the police for this behaviour”
before Jodie could figure out how to respond, a male voice sounded behind Emelie. “You can be angry with me, but don’t mistake my kindness for malice”
