Chapter 456 To Dig Out My Heart 
Emelie noticed the darkness in his eyes and paused. She softened her tone and asked, “What’s wrong? 
Willam asked, “Why didn’t you answer my calla?” 
“I was asleep and didn’t hear them. 
Jaydan laughed. “Will was so worried when he couldn’t find you at home that he started panicking.” 
Emelie glanced at will again. At this point, he didn’t show any signs of anxiety. He was just staring at her intently. 
“Well, it’s good that you’re safe. It was a false alarm.” Jayden booked at his watch. It was already early morning. He parted William’s shoulder and said, “Will, I’ll be going now.” 
Emelie politely said, “Mr. Gleamfield, take care.” 
Jayden waved and lett. That left the two of them in front of the apartment. 

Emelle sighed before saying, “You overreacted, I visited my moms, and I didn’t sleep well last night.1 was tired, so came here after that, since the apartment is closer. Then, Hell asleep. Why were you so worried.” 
Bedace Emellecould finish her sentence, William scooped her up and stepped into the apartment. The door slammed shat behind them. 
Emelie lost her balance and grabbed William’s hand in a pank. He placed her on the shoe cabinet and inted her chin before kissing her without warning 
The way he kissed her was harsh. He forcibly pried open her soft lips and white teeth, then pushed his tongue in. He held her chin so that she couldn’t close her mouth. 
The kiss was intense, wild, and irrational 
Emelie had never seen him acting this way before. 
Before Emelle could clase her eyes, she noticed the hidden emotions in his eyes. He was frowning and seemingly feeling uneasy. 
His dominance made Emelle uncomfortable, and she struggled to push him away. “Why are you.. William! Stop ir!” 
Willam temporarily released her lips but kept his forehead against hers. His breathing was slightly rushed as he angrily asked, “Did you forget you’re a married woman? You didn’t come home and didn’t tell me where you were.” 
Emelie was also breathless, but she quickly responded, “You just got back to Eastbay, didn’t you? You only realized that I wasn’t home this late at night, which means that you also 
dn’t come home until late. But you don’t tell me either, did you? 
William was speechless. He paused, then grabbed the back of her head and kissed her again. “From now on, I tell you wherever I go 
If he continued to kiss her, something was sure to happen, and mille didn’t want that. She pushed his chest and put some distance between them. “Stop… There’s nothing prepared here.” 

“Then, we won’t use anything” William’s hand roamed around her waist. Emelie grabbed his waist to stop him from going further. “Besides, I’m on my period.” william finally stopped, and he looked at her through narrowed eyes. “Is your cycle ahrays this irrepilach 
Emelie pursed her lips. “Don’t you believe me? Do you want me to undress and prove it to you? 
“I believe you. I’m just saying that it’s always so irregular. Do you want me to find a doctor to check it out?” William staped close to her. His lips brushed against hers as he spoke 
Then, he asked, “Are you still holding a grudge for what I did to you? Didn’t I apolog?” 
“I don’t need a doctor. I know my own body. My period becomes irregular when I’m stressed. I’ve been upset about my dad recently. Emelle pushed him away. “Let me down.” There was nothing she could do now. If they stayed close, things might escalate, and it would be tough for him. William finally stepped back and adjusted her clothes. Imelie said softly, “I don’t have any grudges against you. When I put on your ring, I decided to let go of the past. However, if you ever mistreat me now that I’ve put on the ring, I 
William looked at her. “What will you do?” 
Emelle looked up. “Are you implying that you’ve done something?” 
William found her sensitivity both frustrating and amusing “Thaven’t. Don’t accuse me 
Emelie fixed her eyes on him William grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest. “I really haven’t. Do you want me to dig out my heart for you to see?” 
nele finally looked away and gave a noncommittal hum in response. 
With her in front of him, William’s earlier anxiety disappeared, and his demeanor softened. He gently stroked her cheek with his long fingers. “Shall we go back to Eastbay Emelie leaned against the wall. “It’s late and cold. I’m tired and lay” 
William didn’t insist, ‘Then, I’ll sleep here with you.” 
Emelie replied, “The bed here is small and crowded, sleep, and you can just sit. 
William picked her up again. He didn’t allow any room for refusal as he said, “I hold you while we sleep.” 
Emelie didn’t sleep well that night. 
She wasn’t sure if it was because the bed was too small or because of something else. Nestled in William’s arms, she delt his intense body heat. 
Prchops it was the lingering heartrom burning the paternity test repact that still tingled on her fingertips, making her body feel uncomfortably warm, as she were being seweched the struggled to escape the tenace but bound herself unable to climb out. 
Then, aband appeared like a line in front of her, and she grabbed it desperately. The hand pulled her up, and she saw a pair of calm, brown eyes.
