Chapter 423 Surveillance
Emelie took the birth control pills from Ashley and tucked them into her purse.
Ashley noticed that Emelie didn’t take any and asked, “What is it?“”
Then, Ashley saw the ring on Emelie’s ring finger
She was surprised and said. “Are you and William getting married? Are you planning to have chikken?”
“He mentioned having children last night, but I’m still undecided” Emelia’s smile faltered slightly. “But I went for a check–up a few months ago. The doctor said that I have difficulty getting pregnant because I had an abortion and is thinned my nterns lining.”
Ashley said solemnly, “My advice is, even if getting pregnant is unlikely, take precautions if you’re unsure about kids. Don’t leave anything to chance. Don’t end up in a situation where you get pregnant at the wrong time, but feel obligated to keep it because you might not have another chance.”
Emelie pursed her lips and nodded. “T’ll think about it.”
After lunch, Emelie imated Ashley to join her at the New Year’s Eve dinner at her place. “It’s just me and my parents. The moce the merrier.”
Ashley shook her head. “Thanks, but I’ll pass. It’s New Year’s Eve and you should be with your family. I’ll head back to the firm and tackle some cases for next year
“Are you sure?““Emelie lood
“Goon, don’t keep your mors waiting,” Ashley said
With Achday’s refusal firm, Emelie drove back to Alderbrook herself
The housekeeper was also spending time with her family during the festive season, so Greta was cooking dinner tonight.
When Emelie arrived home, she called up her sleeves, donned an apron, and joined her mother in the kitchen..
Later, William texted her, asking her what she was doing Emells sent a photo of a bloody fish that she was cleaning on the chopping board.
He replied to her with three dots.
Emelie could imagine how he looked when he was speechless, and she grinned.
“Eme,” someone called out to her
Emelle turned around and saw Ronan walking into the kitchen, looking ill at ease with his hands clasped together.
Emelie was reminded of what happened yesterday.
She put her phone in her pocket, put on gloves, and continued cleaning the fish, igroting him.
Ronan spoke softly. “Emelie, Toverreacted yesterday. Himing you was wrong. I’m truly sorry Please forgive me. I don’t know what got i
ot into me.”
Emelie rinsed the fish under the tap and placed it on a plate. Then, she began preparing the other ingredients.
Bonan continued, “I was overwhelmed and didn’t mean to hurt you. And Eme, I’m your did. I would never hurt you. You and William aren’t sulted for each other. You can’t be together.”
As Emelie sliced the ginger and garlic, she said Eightly, “If you can’t give me a valid reason, there’s nothing left to discuss.
Once she finished preparing the ingredients, she took off her gloves, wanting to boil so potatoes.
Ronan became anx
anxious. “Why won’t you listen? I’m your father! How can you trust a man you barely know more than me
Emelie was unwilling to rehash the came argument, so she simply walked past him.
That was when Bonan noticed the ring on her finger, and his eyes widened. “Did he give you that ring? Take it off, right now!
He became agitated and lunged forward to grab Emolie’s hand.
Emelie was caught by surprise and the pot the was holding fell to the ground.
She frowned as she tried to escape his grip. “What are you doing?”
Ronan’s grip tightened as he attempted to remove the ring, but it wouldn’t budge. His rough rugging rused her fingers to hurt. “You’re hurting me! It won’t come off!” she said.
“Of course it will! I will have it taken off it’s a surveillance device! He’s monitoring you and tracking you!” he said.
Emelleted her best to pull away. In fact, she could escape his grip, but she was afraid of hurting him since his leg hadn’t fully healed. “Let go!” she said.
“Let go of Emelle!” Gerta, who had born outside, She grabbed a broom and started hitting Banan
ilter hearing the commotion.
