Chapter 482 An Accident Kiss

Emelie and Wesley both reacted at the same time.

One retreated while the other straightened up to create some distance. Still, their eyes instinctively locked onto each other.

For a few seconds, shared silence filled the room. The air was thick with the citrus scent from the diffuser, and a subtle hint of tension lingered.

Emelie noticed the glide on Wesley’s Adam’s apple, and the tension became even more palpable.

A memory from her time in high school flashed through her mind.

It was right before finals when she had asked Wesley for tutoring Since the music room was empty, they deckled to meet there.

While Emelie was working on problems, Wesley focused on his book. His lowered lashes cast a shadow under his eyes, making his profile look ethereal On an impulse, she leaned

over to kiss him.

Just as her lips touched his cheek, he caught her chin, preventing her from getting closer. His eyes:

“Did you ask me to tutor you just for this?” he said.

Emelie’s ear burned as he teased her.

remained on his book, and a lazy smile played on his lips.

She quickly returned to her work, angrily protesting, “It was an accident! I was reaching for my craser. You were playing with it earlier! Why were you messing with my eraser, anyway?

Wesley set his book down and looked at Emelle with a knowing look, then he abruptly leaned in towards her.

Emelie had a feeling that he was trying to take revenge, but she was already too flustered. She tossed the question papers back to Wesley, saying she was done, the can off to the washroom.

Wesley was left speechless in the music room.

Though in the past it was deliberate, this time it really was an accident.

Wesley broke the silence and asked indifferently, “What were you saying earlier?”

Emelie pointed at the essential oil diffuser. “I know this scent. Previously, Patricia abandoned me in the woods in Wimstour City. Later that night, when I was rescued, Jayden’s secretary lent me a diffuser with this same scent to help me sleep. Did you just happen to buy the same one, or…

Wesley answered bluntly. “She works for me.”

It was just as

tas she suspected.

Emelie pursed her lips. “Why did you have her lend me that

“Because I was worried you might’ve been injured. You don’t know this, but I was also out there searching for you in the woods. I was just a step away from reaching you,” Wesley

William had gotten to Emelie before Wesley could

ly wait until you were

Wesley’s voice grew deeper with the night. “You didn’t want to see me back then. I went to the hotel, but you walked away as soon as you saw me. I could only

sleep to check on you in your room

Emelie was at a loss for words

”

She quickly recalled something. “No wonder William said someone was in my room without me knowing. Did you two run into each other?”

Wesley nodded slightly.

Emelle finally understood. So that was why William looked so upset when they passed by each other at the revolving door at the hotel lobby

William disliked Wesley, and seeing him in Emelie’s room must have driven him mad. Now that she had left with Wesley, William must have been furious.

Emelie unconsciously touched her wedding ring.

Wesley lowered his head. “Got any other questions? If not, get some sleep.”

Emelie clasped her hands together. “If you have business in Lionis, just drop me off at the nearest port. If there isn’t one nearby, then please arrange for someone to take me back In Capeball City once we get to Lionia”

“You want to go back to Capebatt City? To see William? Do you not believe the things I told you?” Wesley asked.

believe you,” Emelie replied.

“And still, you’re going back to Capeball city?” Wesley sald
