273 For HerĀ
William had taught her many skills, and golf was the one she excelled at the most. Maybe it was because that was the first time he had stood up for her, teaching her not to Chapter tak every insult.Ā
The towell in Emelieās hand had gone cold, but she still held onto it. Water dripped from her fingertips to the ground like tears.Ā
William had been good to her. This only made his betrayal painful, revealing his true, ugly natureĀ
Patricia sald William was good to her now. His current ākindnessā was a transaction, a form of blackmail, a possessive obsession that kept him from letting her go. It meantĀ
nothing.Ā
Patricia stopped watching Bryan and Camilaās intimate moment. She recalled something. She turned to Emelle and said, āI actually have no relationship with Mr. Middleton. You should be more wary of another woman.Ā
Emelie handed the towel to Silas and looked at her.Ā
āItās the woman Camila mentioned earlier, Ms. Allen. We played poker together last night, and I got the feeling that sheās interested in Mr. Middleton,ā Patricia said seriously.Ā
Elena? Emelie hadnāt expected this. She barely remembered her, only that she was Charlesā cousin with an exoticālooking face.Ā
She didnāt care who was interested in William, but since Patricia was kind enough to tell her
William suddenly smiled. āHow long ago was that? Are you still jealous?!!Ā
Emelie was speechless. She was simply curious.Ā
But if he insisted on calling it jealousy, so be it. Otherwise, denying it would lead to endless teasingĀ
william looked down at her. āWhy are you still wearing the chest protection if youāre done playing? Doesnāt it feel restrictive?Ā
Only then did Emelie realize she still had the chest protection on, just as she was about to turn and remove it, William reached out and ripped open the velcro strap under her chest With the restraint gone, her chest visibly relaxedĀ
Emelie felt a surge of anger at being treated this way in broad daylight, in front of everyone. She pursed her lips and quickly took off the chest protection. She handed the equipment to silas,Ā
William grabbed her arm. āWhatās the matter?Ā
He could sense her displeasure, but he was always so willed. āIs there any part of you that isnāt mine? is there anywhere I canāt tooch?āĀ
He had always considered her his possession. He believed he could do whatever he wanted.Ā
Emelleās voice was firm. You can think whatever you like. No one can change your mind anywayāĀ
William looked at her for a moment before pulling her into his arms, his voice low and coaxing. āSweetie, is something this small worth getting upset over?Ā
No one could change his mind. That much was true.Ā
But William was in high spirits now, so he added, āYou can try. Maybe Iāll change for you.ā
