Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 660

Emelie was momentarily stunned by the touch of Wesley's soft, cool lips.

Although they were engaged, he rarely showed such affectionate gestures. Still, she did not pull her hand away.

Wesley sighed and said softly, "If you want to buy it, then go ahead and buy it."

Emelie was not pleased even after hearing that.

"You oppose me without giving a reason and then agree without telling me why." She pulled her hand away and tapped his forehead. "Since when have you been like a child, making unreasonable demands?"

Wesley looked up at her with his brown eyes warmer than the sun in Mercianna. "From the moment you arrived, I've agreed with everything you've wanted."

Emelie remained frowning.

She had come to understand why he had been against her buying the Pierce Residence. Even though he agreed now, she still did not know the reasons for his initial opposition.

Wesley thought the topic was closed. He stood up, took her hand, and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

Emelie replied, "I had some on the plane."

"Have some more with me. Since you're here, stay for two days before going back. There's no rush in Capebatt City, is there?"

"Okay."

Meanwhile, Jodie received a phone call from Ashton. "Ms. Noble, is Ms. Pierce free tonight? Mr. Middleton would like to take her to dinner."

Jodie glanced toward the restaurant. "I'm sorry, but Ms. Pierce is busy. She's not in Capebatt City at the moment and won't be back for a few days."

Ashton pursed her lips. "Very well. Then, we won't disturb her."

Half an hour later, Ashton entered the CEO's office with tea and noticed a small cake on William's desk.

William seemed to be in a good mood that day. It was the first time in half a month since Henry's death that he had seemed cheerful.

Sipping his tea, he asked Ashton, "Is it pretty?"

The cake was small but delicate, with a tiny card that read, "Happy Birthday, Emelie Hoven".

"It's lovely. But Mr. Middleton, Ms. Hoven isn't in Capebatt City at the moment," Ashton said hesitantly.

William looked up. "Where did she go?"

Ashton replied slowly, "I did a check on her whereabouts. She flew to Mercianna last night and went to the Denning residence."

What day was it again?

As she went to wash up in the bathroom, it occurred to her that it was her actual birthday.

After Ronan and Greta had adopted her, they changed her date of birth, and she got used to celebrating her birthday as Emelie Hoven. That day, however, was her birthday as Mandy Pierce.

She happened to see the butler when she opened her door. Therefore, she asked, "Where is he?"

The butler smiled. "Mr. Cronus is in the garden. It's windy and a little cold. I'm fetching him a coat. Ms. Pierce, if you're going out, you might want to wear an extra layer too."

"Okay. Give me the coat. I'll take it to him."

Emelie took Wesley's coat and went downstairs to the front garden. When she saw Wesley on the phone, she slowly walked over to him.

"I already celebrated her birthday for this year in July, so there's no need to celebrate it again today. Nobody celebrates their birthday in the middle of the year and again at the end of the year."

July was Emelie's birthday.

Emelie's eyes flickered. Had someone informed him that it was her actual birthday? Did he not want to acknowledge her birthday as Mandy Pierce?

After hearing the response on the other end, Wesley suddenly sneered. "You don't need to remind me of who she is. I'm determined to have her. What can you do about it?"
