Chapter 376 I Want Emelie
william glanced own. He set down his phone, and replied nonchalantly, “He’s here pretty quickly. Bring him over.”
“Save ching.” Ashton waved her hand, and the bodyguard who had been hidden somewhere appeared. They stopped the car.
Ashton walked up to the vehicle and exchanged a few words with the person inside
Sure enough, it was Charles Davis
Charles glanced in William’s direction, half–smiling. Then, he casually put his hands in his pockets and followed Astronover,
William was seated at the outdoor tables of the cafe. Charles remarked, “Mr. Middleton, seems like you’ve had quite a lot of free time lately–first Weston, now here. Is Codex Corporation that dull?”
William replied coldly, “Your cousin has been taken in by the police, Instead of helping in Weston, you’re here. Isn’t that a bit unreasonable?”
Two equally young and handsome men met in the small town, one with a subtle smile and the other composed but indifferent Yet their words carried underlying trusion, sharp as needles.
Charles smirked. He crossed his legs nonchalantly. “My cousin has her parents. My girlfriend was deeply frightened this time, and I’m here to comfort her.”
william’s tone remained icy. “Did she agree to be your platfriend?”
“She didn’t refuse either.”
William’s expression didn’t change. “She has refused you many t
times. Have you forgotten?”
Charles lightly tapped his cheek with his tongue. Then, he said, “This is between me and Ms. Hoven. Mr. Middleton, you are not entitled to intervene. You once said you didn’t mind me pursuing her
“Have you ever heard of a saying? A qualified ex should behave as if they’re dead. You keep popping up in front of my girlfriend–to–be, and I find it rather troublesome.”
William’s gaze sharpened. Charles didn’t back down despite his relaxed demeanor. At that moment, neither was willing to yield
“If Mr. Middleton has no other words of advice, I’ll be out to see my gland–to–be. I won’t keep you company any longer. Charles stood up, and William chudded softly.
“You’re either after making her your gulfriend, or you have other intentions. We both know the answer.”
A flicker of something passed through Charles eyes as he tuned back to face Willum
He smirked thoughtfully and replied, “I wondered why my company had an incident at such a crucial moment. It forced to drop everything in Weston and rush back to Calmetest. It seems this is your doing, Mr. Middleton
“Push me aside and swoop in on Ms. Hoven while she’s vulnerable. You are a master strategist.”
William replied calmly. “If you can’t manage your own company and something happens, why should anyone else care?”
Raising his eyes subtly but sharply, he added, “Event were molved, it’s simply to teach you a lesson–never cover what isn’t meant to be yours.”
Charles was no longer concerned whether William was asserting his dominance. He sat down, and his causal smile now tinged with restraint. “So, you know about that incident?
william slipped his coffee. He casually stated, “Cloodex Corporation is under my authority now. As for matters between you and my father, did you think 1 wouldn’t know?
“No wonder you ousted so many directors before. Charles squinted, themasked, “What are your intentions? Do you want to replace your father and join us, or draw a clear line between?”
William didn’t answer immediately. He glanced toward the direction of the Hoven residence’s bungalow, his jawline cool and handsome.
“I want Emelie,” he finally stated.
Charles grinned. “So, that’s joining us, right? It looks like we’ll be family from now on. Let’s not be so tense with each other. Let’s keep things cordial william looked directly at Charles. He repeated firmly, “Emelle is mine. No one is to interfere.“”
Charles pondered for a moment, then nodded
Upon returning home, Greta immediately began preparing ingredients. She refused Emelie’s help and managed everything with Adeline.
Emelie resigned herself to picking vegetables nearby and casually asked, “Mom, why did you say the caregiver was a bad person? Which caregiver was that? Greta’s mind was sporadic at times, and now she seemed abit confused. She was unable to answer.
Emelle brushed it odd as a casual question and didn’t dwell on it too much.
Later in the evening, Eliana and Billy arrived with Halley
During dinner, Greta kept serving Emelie tood. By the end at the meal, Emelie was feeling quite full After dinner, she decided to talu a walk around town Even though Alderbookcouted itself as a tourist historic town, it remained relatively obscene. Even during festivals, there weren’t many visitors around.
As Emelie strolled, she found herself by the scenic lake. The lakeside was lit up with a circle of lights. It illuminated the water brightly, and a few pleasure boats cently glided across the surface
Watching them, Emelie recalled that time when William had taken her out to dinner at Riverstone Bistro and then for a boat ride. He had said, “I’ll being my partner everywhere..”
Chapter 376 1 Wart Emelie
At that time, Emelie had dismissed his sweet talk without much thought.
But now, in this moment of absent–mindedness, a subtle pang of bittemesscrept up on ber.
Emelie started at the lake, a pleasure boat approaching from afar, growing clearer as it neared. The figure standing at the bow gradually merged with the person in
Emelie’s eyes widened.
