Chapter 411 Let's Try Again

The following day, Emelie was woken up by the buzzing of her phone.

She had only fallen asleep at around four or five in the morning. She was still exhausted, but when she saw William's name on the caller ID, her sleepiness vanished instantly.

Emelie sat up and glanced at the pale yellow envelope on the nightstand. As she recalled the events of the previous night, she couldn't help but bite her lower lip.

After taking a deep breath to calm herself, she answered the phone.

"Hello." William's deep, magnetic voice came through the phone. His voice managed to give her goosebumps despite the distortion from the electric signal.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

Tm sleeping

"Where are you sleeping? I'm in your room, but I don't see you. Where did you go?" William's tone immediately became deeper. He sounded like he was catching her in the act of some wrongdoing Emelie was momentarily stunned. "Are you in my room? Did you go to Weston to replace me?"

"Wasn't yesterday your last day at work? I came to pick you up and bring you back to Capebatt City. Where are you now?" William pressed.

Emelie, who was still wrapped in her blanket, checked the time. It was just after seven. "You've arrived in Weston this early? Did you drive all night?"

'I came right after finishing work last night. Why do you keep dodging the question? Where are you now? Are you afraid to let me know where you are? Is it Charles or Samuel? Who are you with?" William's voice turned icy and impatient.

Emelie hadn't even had a chance to respond before William hung up. She was taken aback, but a WhatsApp video call came through right after that.

It was as though William was trying to catch her in the act of cheating.

Emelie couldn't help but smile. She leaned against the headboard and answered the video call.

As soon as the call connected, William's sharp features filled the screen. Even from hundreds of miles away, Emelie could feel his commanding presence.

"I'm at my house in Alderbrook." Emelie moved the camera to show the familiar attic, and only then did. William's expression soften.

"Why were you in such a hurry to return?"

Emelie explained, "Ashley was driving back to Capebatt City last night, so I hitched a ride with her."

"Stay home, and don't go anywhere. Wait for me."

William ended the video call after saying that.

Emelie lingered in bed for another half an hour, Only when she heard noises downstairs did she get up to wash up and get dressed.

It was just past eight in the morning, but Ronan had already left.

The housekeeper said that Ronan seemed busy lately, always leaving early and coming home late.

Emelie didn't think much of it. For middle-aged people, some of them would just spend their time playing poker, which Ronan enjoyed. He was probably off to play a few games under a tree somewhere. Emelie accompanied Greta to buy some supplies for the holidays. It was New Year's Eve the following night.

She estimated that William would arrive from Weston around noon. After helping Greta with the shopping and dropping off the supplies at home, she walked to the edge of town.

Near the town, there was a lake where people could rent boats. She sat on a bridge, lost in her thoughts, as she watched the tourists row their boats.

It wasn't until she heard two car honks that she came back to her senses.

A black Maybach was parked by the side of the road. Its sleek design gleamed in the sunlight, and it drew everyone's attention.

William stepped out of the car wearing a custom made tailored suit. His tall and handsome figure was breathtaking. His eyes locked onto her, and he walked toward her with long, confident strides. Emelie watched him approach. She remembered how he had approached her on a boat last New Year's Day

Every time they were apart, he was the one who would go to her.

Thinking of his love letter and how much he cared about New Year's Eve, a voice in her mind whispered," Emelie, you've fallen for him again.

She was hopeless, for she had fallen for him again.

But what could she do?

When William was about ten feet away, Emelie got up and rushed toward him.

William probably didn't expect her to run toward him. He paused for a moment, then seemed to

understand and opened his arms with a slight smile.

Emelie quickly closed the distance and jumped into his arms. William tightened his arms around her, and she buried her face in his chest while inhaling his scent. In a low voice, she said, "William, let's try again."
