Chapter 230 The Desire to Conquer HerĀ
The last hint of daylight disappeared behind the curtains, plunging the rooms into darkness. The winter days were brief. By just past 5:30 pm, daylight had almost vanished.Ā
Emelie lay exhausted on the bed. Her breathing was heavy. The comers of her eyes were still tinged with a faint redness, and her lashes were damp with tears that had not yetĀ
William reached out and gently smoothed the furrow between her brows. Emelie was too tired to react, even though she could feel his touch. He let her sleep and moved to the windowsill with a cigarette and a lighter.Ā
It had been a long time since he felt this way. It was more enthralling than when signing billionādollar contracts. Perhaps it was because Emelie had become so biting and evasive since leaving her job.Ā
She never showed him any affection. It only fueled his desire to conquer her. He wanted to see her lose and submitĀ
After finishing his cigarette, William returned to the room just in time to see a phone light up on the carpet. Before it could ring, he silenced it, not wanting to wake EmelleĀ
It was her phone, and the screen displayed āMr. Swansonā,Ā
William smirked and answered it directly. Samuelās gentle voice came through the phone. āEmelie, I didnāt see you in the ward. Are you taking a walk downstairs?Ā
William replied, āNo, sheās asleep.āĀ
There was a long, threeāminute silence from Samuel, during which Williamās smirk deepened. His features radiated a different kind of charm than usual.Ā
When Samuel spoke again, his tone had completely changed. He even called William by name.Ā
āWilliam, Emelieās life has been hard enough. Why canāt you just leave her alone? Stop forcing her and messing with her! You have no shortage of female companions. Let her return to a peaceful life!āĀ
William raised an eyebrow. āYou think you can give her a peaceful life?āĀ
āAs long as you donāt trouble her or disturb her, she can give herself a peaceful fe!ā TĀ
āSo thatās why you dealt with Reggie behind her backā Williamās voice was cold. āYour intentions might be good, but you donāt understand EntelieĀ
āSheās the type of person who would rather face an ugly reality than live in a beautiful lie. To her, your actions make it seem like youāve been deceiving her all alongāĀ
Sanvoel was stunned Emelie knew?Ā
āOnce the seed of doubt is planted, every time she sees you, sheāll remember you stepping on Reggie and start questioning if youāre being truthful now. Sheāll wonder if you have ulterior motives for staying by her sideā¦āĀ
Just then, William sensed someone rushing at him from behind. He turned gracefully.Ā
Emelie was desperately trying to grab the phone. āGive it back!āĀ
William ended the call and wrapped his arm around her. He hadnāt helped her dress. In her haste to get up, she had only grabbed a thin blanket to cover her chest, leaving the curves of her back exposed to Williamās gaze.Ā
āGive me my phone!ā Emelle demanded angrily William smirked and bent down to capture her lips in a kiss.Ā
Emelie pushed against his chest, but he was immovable. At this moment, the blanket slipped from her grasp. William lifted her and kissed her neck.Ā
EmelieāsĀ
ās eyes were bloodshot. She only felt utter homiliation. But what could she do if she couldnāt push him away?Ā
The phone rang again. Its sound echoed through the room.Ā
William delt Emelieās body tense at the sound. He guessed that it was Samuel. Annoyance and disdain flashed in his eyes, and he threw the phone aside. He carried Emelie back to the bed. Then, he pulled open his bathrobe. āSince you have so much energy, letās continue.ā
