Emelie clenched her teeth, trying to push him away, bat it was useless William pressed himself tightly against her. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Their legs, waists, and chests were in close contact. His warm body and cool, crispscent surrounded her, just like when he used to hold her while they slept 

Especially after her father jumped to his death, she has had terrible insomnis. He would hold her, staying up with her through the night. 

Back then, it moved her. Now, she saw him as a master manipulator. 

she was unable to stand his touch and struggled against him harder. “We aren’t married because we don’t have a marriage certificatel 

“That’s not what you thought in the past. William looked into her eyes. “‘s because of Wesley. The moment you see him, you regret everything. It’s been ben years. What makes him so unforgettable?” 

Was he jealous? 

Emelie found it amusing “At least he doesn’t manipulate me. That alone makes him much better than you.” 

Emelie knew she couldn’t break free, so she stopped moving and looked up at him. Her beautib eyes were filled with anger. 

“You don’t need to keep emphasizing that you’re my husband and I’m your wife, I know you married me to force my dad to hand over the ledger,” she said. 

William looked at her and suddenly laughed, mocking her. “You know quite a lot ” 

Emelie wasn’t sure if he was admitting it. It didn’t matter as the truth was clear mough, 

She laughed with him, with the same mocking bone. “Too had my dad never gave the bolger to me or my mom. We know nothing. Even if you have us both, you won’t get what you 

He pursed his lips and asked, “Do you really know what I want? 

Emeliescoffed. 

“How could I know what you want? Your mind is too complex for me to understand, Mr. Middleton,” her mockery was directed at both him and herself. 

William grabbed her chin 

The cabin was dimly, casting shadows over them during their confrontation. He couldn’t see her expression clearly, nor was she able to see his. 

“Do you really see me as some kind of villain now? Did Wesley tell you that? Will you only listen to him and not to my explanations?” he said./ 

“What more is there to explon? Emelle retorted. “I just realized, when you found out about my tristity and planned to reconcile with me, it was after the time I stood you up You didn’t retaliate, right? 

That was a long time ago 

He had offered an artificial heart and a medical team for her return. 

When she finally left Capebart City to work for Swanson Corporation without looking back, she expected him to all her. After all, he had never shown het mercy before. 

However, he wished her success at the Navarro family’s party and promised never to bother her again. 

At the time, she thought Patrice had taught him how to court her. Now, she finally realized he had known her identity all along and had been planning their reconciliation to achieve his goals. 

Emelie asked, “Is that right?” 

‘Yes,‘ 

“William said. 

At least he admitted it. 

Even though she had already figured it out, hearing his personally confirm still hurt her. 

Why would he need anyone to teach him how to court her? He had a natural talent for it in everything he wanted to do. Courting someone was child’s play to him. 

She gulped and continued, “When you first sest me back to Alderbrook, you met my dad, didn’t you? You asked him for the ledger, didn’t you?! 

After her father’s suicide, Emelie had alked Willem about his interactions with her dad. He had said they only met three times 

Back then, she was too grief–stricken to think much about it. However, it finally struck her that things didn’t add up Hadn’t they only met once when she brought him home to meet her parents? When did the other two times happen? 

After she thought about it long and hard, she could only conclude that it was during the New Year when he had driven her back to Alderbrook and met her father behind her back. That was when her father’s behavior had changed. He started leaving home early in the morning and returning late at night. He even started smoking and drinking. Anyone would be stressed after being centronted by an old enemy. 

Emelle asked, “Is that right?” 

Willem answered again, “Yes.” 

“You weet jealous of charles because of me, right? You knew he was after the lodgerton on New Year’s Eve, when my dad was taken to the monston by Charles, you were there That was the third time you met my dad, right?” she asked. 

William again replied with a simple “Yes“, 

Three free. They were all true. 

Anger singed through Emel, and she showed his chest violently. “What else do you have to explain then?
