Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 717

William's expression was calm. Rather, to put it more precisely, he was just quiet. He stood outside the door and just watched her.

Emelie paused for a few seconds before speaking in her usual tone to the man on the other end of the line. "Wesley, I've missed two meals, and I'm hungry. I'll eat first and call you back later."

Wesley agreed and hung up.

Then, Emelie asked, "Mr. Middleton, is there something you need?"

William, who should have been at the hospital, was driven by his curiosity to visit her about the unanswered message from the previous night. However, he hadn't expected to hear what she had just said.

William's breathing slowed for a moment. A faint, sharp pain tugged at his heart.

He looked at her and said quietly, "That's not what you used to say."

Emelie frowned. "What do you mean?"

William's eyes were as deep as a dark void. "You used to tell me that you loved me."

Emelie fell silent and felt a strange irritation. "What's the point of bringing up old, irrelevant things now? Mr. Middleton, it's not appropriate to cause a scene here in broad daylight, is it?"

William retorted, "Is it appropriate for you to use our past to amuse your new lover?"

Emelie's face went cold. "Are you questioning me now?"

William smiled, his dark pupils were clouded with indescribable emotions. "How could I dare to question you? How could I be worthy of that?"

Emelie glared at him, her fingers tightened on the doorknob. With no words left to say, she tried to close the door, but William swiftly blocked it with his hand.

As a man, he naturally had more strength than she did. With her being caught off guard, he easily forced his way into her house.

Emelie took a step back. "What are you doing?"

William shut the door behind him.

William stubbornly disagreed. "No, it's because you loved me, and that love has turned to hatred."

Emelie didn't want to argue further with him. His presence was repulsive to her.

She pointed at the door again and said, "Think whatever you want. Just get out right now!"

William's eyes darkened suddenly. Suddenly, he grabbed her outstretched hand and yanked her toward him.

Emelie stumbled forward, and her forehead bumped with William's chest. The familiar yet jarring scent of ice and snow filled her senses. Old, buried memories surged back to her in that instant.

Before she could react, William pressed her against the wall behind them. He grabbed her chin and lowered his head.

Emelie's mind went blank for a moment as she felt a warm and soft touch on her lips.

Before she could process that it was his lips touching hers, William aggressively pried her lips open and forced his way in.
