Chapter 337 Jealous of Each Other
Emelie picked up the spoon and handed it to William. He snorted lightly but accepted it
Seeing Ashton arrive, Emelie invited her over “Ms. Jones, please join us for the meal.”
Achten smiled and sat down.
Since another person was at the table, it wasn’t appropriate for William to discuss personal matters. So he remained silent for the rest of the meal.
The private dining restaurant was situated along a riverside promenade. By the time they finished eating and came out, it was already past 1, and the area was nearly deserted.
Emelie intended to head straight to the car, but William grabbed her arm. “Let’s take a walk to digest.”
Emelie responded politely, “Mr. Middleton, it’s quite late. I have work
with a bit of force, William pulled her along. “You want to go to bed right after eating? Aren’t you worried about stomach issues?”
“You seem to know a lot now, Mr. Middleton,” Emelie remarked, freeing her arm but still forced to walk with him along the riverside.
The night breeze blew, lifting the hem of William’s long cost. He glanced back at Emelle. The streetlights elongated their shadows, his shadow just covering hers. “Were you being sarcastic with me or flirting?”
Emelle was speechless. She thought. “He should stop learning Charles” cheesy pick up lines.”
She opted not to respond
The night wind was strong, especially by the river. It felt chilly. Despite wearing a coar, Emelie felt cold and stuffed her hands into her pockets. She wondered how long this walk would last
Suddenly, Willlem tossed his black leather gloves to her,
Shivering, she quickly put them on.
His gloves were much larger than her hands, but the inner lining was warm and still retained his body heat. It made her feel as if his hands were enveloping hers.
Startled, she immediately took the gloves off
William was already ahead, tallang on the phone. His pace was leisurely. She heard his conversation.
“I’m on a business trip in Weston. If you need anything, you can contact Fabian she’ll help you”
His tone was clear and gentle. She bad only heard him speak to one person this way, and that was Daphne.
The faint hope in Emelle’s heart vanished in an instant,
Lowering her head, she stepped aside and distanced herself from his shadow. She didn’t want any contact with him.
Taking out her phone, she opened her WhatsApp stories and saw that Samuel had posted a photo of a mint plant just a minute ago. But the location was marked in Jober City.
Emelie commented, “Have you arrived?”
Samuel replied almost instantly, “I got here around nine and have been unpacking since.”
Emeletexted back, “Get some rest. You’ve had a long day.
Samuel replied, “You too. Don’t stay op too late.“”
william ended his call and replied to Jayden’s WhatsApp message. He noticed a red dot on his stories, indicating a new post from Samuel. They had added each other on WhatsApp due to the Winnsbour City project
Heclicked on it and saw Samuel and Emelie chatting. New replies popped up one after another.
Expressionless, he turned his head to find Emelie indeed engrossed in her phone.
He was all the way in Eprand and still managed to catch her attention.
“Emelia.”
Emelie looked up, and William continued, “Come here”
Putting her phone way, she responded, “Mr.Middleton, it’s late. We should head back.”
William immediately started walking back
Following him, Enelle noticed he seemed irritated but couldn’t tathom why.
When they returned to the private dining restaurant to get into the car, they saw the waiter handing the packed meals to some street cleaners resting by the roadside
The waiter probably mentioned that the meals were from them, as he pointed in their direction. With the food in hand, the cleaners smiled and nodded their thanks.
Emelie returned the smile
Recalling the numerous mentions of high school tonight, another memory surfaced in her mind.
