Winning Her Heart Back

Nearly Losing Our Their Lives 

“I suddenly miss you,” Williamsaid 

That sentence would come to Emelie in countless dreams. It would tear her heart apart with pain so intense that she would tremble and convulse 

She could never decide whether she hated him more or loved him more. All she knew was that if they had ended things they could’ve avoided this bloody, cruel outcome. 

They could have ended things the day she resigned or when she joined Swanson Corporation. Or perhaps when he defended Daphne and escorted her out of Capebatt City. Another opportunity was when they bid farewell after her father’s tragic suicide. 

They had so many chances to cut their losses, but they had to drag it out until both of them had nearly lost their lives. 

William didn’t leave even after Emelie had fallen asleep. Instead, he sat by her bed, watching her. 

The night breeze tickled his throat, drawing a cough out of him. He tried to suppress it and quickly got up to close the window before leaving the room. 

Ashton noticed him coughing continuously and quickly brought him a glass of water. 

She approached him and said, “Mr. Middleton, ever since you came back from Lionia, you’ve been coughing constantly. I think you should get it checked out.” 

His coughs only happened occasionally, and he fet fine otherwise since it wasn’t frequent Hence, William dismissed it with a shake of his head, looking pensive. 

As he took the glass from her, he suddenly asked, “Has Emelie been acting strange? 

Ashton was taken aback. “No.” 

Hadn’t she been reporting every detail to him? Nonetheless, it was a little odd that Emelie agreed to marry him. 

After a moment of thought, Ashton said, “Mr. Middleton, if I may, when we were in Lonia, the reason she agreed to come back to Capebatt City was to ensure her mother’s safety. 

“Her primary concem has always been her mother’s safety So, doesn’t it make sense that she’s trading the wedding for her mother’s safety?” 

It made perfect sense. After all, Emmelie had always liked William. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed to get back together or marry him. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

She had only been angry and resentful upon learning the truth about the Pierce family, but her emotions bad cooled over time. 

William had designed her wedding dress and confessed he had a crush on her during his teenage years. For someone as proud as him to go to such lengths, how could she not be 

As long as he ensured Greta’s safe departure from Capebatt City, her biggest concern would be resolved. Hence, she would willingly stay and become the wife of a wealthy man and the subject of everyone’s envy. 

Moreover, Emelie hadn’t demanded her mother be sent away before the wedding. She agreed to have the wedding first, showing her sincerity. It all made sense, so William could rest assured. 

William listened to her detailed analysis, and his furrowed brow gradually relaxed. “Alright” 

The night soon passed, and Monday arrived. 

The morning fog was thick, clouding the windows 

Just a little past 8.00 am, a top–notch bar and makeup team arrived to prepare Emelie William had stayed the night and left only half an hour before the team arrived. 

As it was too early, Emelie was so sleepy she couldn’t keep her eyes open, nodding off at the dressing table. The makeup artist teased her, saying most brides would be too excited and nervous to sleep 

Emelie mumbled, “That’s because I’m not really the bride.” 

The makeup artist was caught off guard. “What?” 

Emelle opened her eyes and smiled. “I said, don’t make my hair too complicated. I didn’t sleep well last night, and my head hurts. Tight hairstyles will make it worse.” 

The makeup artist complied with her request 

She handed Emelie a mirror. “Mrs. Middleton, is this to your liking?” 

Emelle looked up. 

To begin with, her features were already great. With makeup, she was breathtakingly beautiful, almost unrecognizable, even to herself. 

The warm–toned eyeshadow softened the look of her cool gaze, making her eyes look delicate and soulful. She didn’t like complicated hairstyles, so her hair was half up, with loose waves cascading down her back and a handmade flower crown on her head. 

Emelie was momentarily dazed, finally understanding why everyone said brides were the most beautiful. 

Alas, It was a pity 

Ashton, who was keeping an eye on the time, noticed that it was almost time to leave. When she entered the room, she was momentarily stunned. 

“Mrs. Middleton, if you’re ready, we should head to the hotel,” Ashton said.
