Chapter 298 My Cousin is Not a Dad Man
“It’s over between us, Mr. Middleton. I understand that you couldn’t bear me leaving so suddenly. But that was so long ago. You should accept this. There’s really no need to bother with me, a slut when you got tired of sleeping with.”
He was the one who said it first Both about her being a slut and him tiring of sleeping with her.
William took a step toward her.
They were in the parking lot and it wasn’t that brightly. She couldn’t read his face. “Speak. Don’t stop. What else? What else did I say about you?
Emelie gave it a thought. There was too much. “That I’m beneath you, unworthy of you, uncultured, lacking seriousness.”
Even though she was just repeating his assessment of her, she could feel her heart tightening to the point that it hurt.
No woman could be humiliated like that and still remain unmoved.
“Mr. Middleton, you can have many ways to kill boredom, you can have any woman you like with the snap of your fingers. But I’m already giving it my all just so that I can help my family survive. It’s true, I can’t afford to risk anything.”
Emelia’s head hung low. She did not look at William’s expression, or did she want William to see her face.
It was as if time between them had completely stopped. All that moved was the wind
the end, William said nothing and dumped the jacket into a bag for her. Then, he left in his car.
Emelie watched thecar lights disappear into the darkness, then raised her hand and wiped her eyes.
when she tek the moisture on her hand and saw the wetness on her finger, she forced a smile and laughed at herself,
She made herself cry…
The reason that she played the victim wasn’t because she wanted william’s pity. She simply wanted to awaken what was remaining of his conscience to let her go.
She already did it once at Lakeside Villa. She realized then that even someone as cold–hearted as William could be affected by such trickery.
No wonder Daphne could be so victorious everytime.
Daphne was indeed quite “pitiful“.
Things were pelling hard for her. She needed to leam from the person she detested the most just to survive.
Emelie had no emotion on her face as she called for a cab. When the car came, she shot a text to Patrice saying that she had already received the jacket,
Patrice immediately asked her, “He returned to you so soon?”
“The Navarro family in Weston was celebrating their twins‘ first month. We met at the banquet incidentally and he returned it to me.”
Patrice sent her an “X” emoticon before replying, “There was nothing incidental there. He definitely sought you out. I was the one who told him to do that. He should be treating you better after this.”
So, Patrice said something to Willam and be listened. No wonder he was acting so strangely toward her.
Whatever. He could do whatever he wanted. As long as she could continue to find a way to survive and make her fate easier. It didn’t matter if he had to listen to Patrice or fall for her act. Either one would do.
Patrice gave it a thought and wanted to advise both sides, so she sent Emelie another message. “My cousin isn’t really that bad. That’s just how he is and that has something to do with his parents. You know too, right? That they’re divorced? The reason is because Vanessa cheated with my uncle.”
Emelie then replied, “I already explained it to him. All I want from him is for him to leave me alone. If you want to help me, please tell him to never show his face around me ever
Patrice had wanted to tell her more about what happened between Henry, Whitney, and Vanessa But when she saw the message, she pressed the backspace button and deleted all
the words
She could feel it. Emelle really, really disliked her cousin. It would be impolite of her to try and force them together,
Emelie put on her own jacket and put Samuel’s jacket back into the bag,
The cab had arrived. She got in and headed to the hotel
She didn’t rent a place in Weston
That was because it was less than a month from the new year, so it wouldn’t be worth renting a place. She discussed with the hotel for a quote for her to stay long–term and the price they offered included a daily breakfast buffet. It was well worth the money so she stayed with the hotel temporarily.
The next day, Emelie went back to work as normal
A personal assistant went over to her desk and put down a brown paper bag. “Ms. Hoven, I met with a runner downstairs just now. The receptionist said that this is yours, so brought it up here since I’m on my way.”
“Thanks,” Felesaid with a smile.
The personal assistant returned to his desk after saying, “You’re welcome.”
Emelie looked at the package, but the sender’s detalls were left empty. She was quite curious. Who sent this to her?
She opened and pulled out what was inside.
