Chapter 231 Your Dad’s in Trouble
Emelie was speechless.
Her weakness lay in her inability to curse. The more enraged she became, the less capable she was of doing so. Her teeth clenched tightly, and anger surged within her chest.
William found her current state far more appealing than her usual cold and composed demeanor. He leaned in to kiss her and whispered, “Come on, angel ”
His kiss carried the scent of cinnamon tobacco, evoking memories of a cozy winter evening by the fireplace and igniting a feeling of tender warmth. And with him calling her like that, it was even more poignant
Emelie’s breath quickened as she fought against the seductive lure of his false tenderness. “Don’t call me that!”
William was not one for much conversation in these moments. However, the incessant ringing of the phone on the floor began to irritate him. Did Samuel have nothing better to do?
Yet Emelie sensed something was off. If it were Samuel, knowing she was with William, he wouldn’t keep calling after the first unanswered attempt.
He knew she couldn’t answer. His relentless calls felt like a constant reminder of her humiliation of being known by someone else, akin to having an acquaintance witness her being coerced.
Samuel wouldn’t add to her distress. But now, the phone had rung three times in a row. Emelie’s anxiety spiked as she struggled “Wam! Move! Who’s calling?”
She strained to see the phone, so William could only lift her head and glance at it. With sharp eyesight, he could discern the name on the screen even from a distance of six feet.
“Ashley.”
Ashley? Emelie pushed him away immediately.
This time, William yielded to her force and narrowed his eyes slightly. He recognized the name. It was Elias’s wife. He knew Ashley was representing Ronan in that medical dispute, which explained their connection.
Emelie hastily threw on her robe and scrambled to the floor to grab her phone.
Ms..”
Her voice sounded slightly off as she spoke, so she cleared her throat and tried to sound as calm as possible. “Ms. Thomton, what’s the matter?
Ashley replied directly, “Emelie, your dad’s in trouble.”
Emelie felt her heart sink like a stone into a deep river.
Ashley
y continued speaking. After swallowing hard, Emelle replied, “I’m in Wimstour City right now. I’ll come back immediately.”
She hung up and rushed to leave, but William caught her before she could exit the bedroom. “Where are you going?”
“Let go!” Emelle snapped.
William stared at her. “I won’t let you go unless you tell me.”
Emelle struggled hard to free herself from his grasp, but she couldn’t. Anxiously, she exclaimed, “My dad’s in trouble. My dad’s in trouble!”
Wasn’t Bonan still serving his three–month sentence? William frowned.
Emelie was frantic to leave, but William’s grip was unyielding Her frustration and helplessness boiled over. “What do you want?”
*You plan to run out like this?” William asked as he followed behind her.
Emelle’s clothes were wet from the bathroom, and she was now wearing only the hotel’s bathrobe, without any undergarments.
William picked up his phone and called Ashton. “Bring two sets of clothes.”
He didn’t need to specify who the other set was for. Ashton understood implicitly. “On it.”
Ashton’s delivery of the clothes was swift since she had everything prepared in advance. It took her just a short five minutes. But for Emelle, each second within those five minutes felt as drawn out as an entire winter season.
She stood rigidly in place. The chill crept up her skin from her ankles, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.
Roman’s sentence had only a few days left. How could something have gone wrong now?
