Winning Her Heart Back

Marriage Was an Option 

Ashton swiftly raised the partition between the front and back of the car. Instantly, the rear space turned into a closed, cramped area. 

As she was pulled by William, Emelie found herself kneeling on the car floor, with the partition behind her and William in front. The confined space left her with no escape route. 

Emelie pushed against William’s chest in frustration. “What are you doing? Let go!” 

with one hand firmly holding her body and the other gripping her chin, William locked eyes with her. “You can find a thousand excuses for Samuel deceiving you but fabricate countless accusations against me. That’s quite fair of you, Ms. Hoven.” 

His injury hadn’t fully healed, yet he somehow had the strength to restrain her like this. 

The icy air around William permeated her senses, leaving her nowhere to hide. “Yes, Patricia left you in the wilderness because of me, but our relationship isn’t what you believe it to be.” 

Was he explaining? How absurd. 

“I never cared about whatever relationship you had with her. Why should I? Emelle tried to break free from his grip, but he held her firmly and forced her to look directly at him. “You’ve always relied on hearsay and your own speculations to define me as irredeemable. I’ve told you. Do you think that what you think is what you think? You’ve just been assuming things all along. Did I ever say I wanted to exchange you for a project on the cruise ship? 

Why was he bringing that up again? Emelle was both infuriated by his control and his distortion of truth. She couldn’t contain her anger anymore and snapped, ” 

and snapped, “You said you wanted to give me away! 

“That was about that ball where we picked our dance partners blindfolded. Isn’t that giving our partners away? How else could I describe that situation?” William’s tone was icy. “And I didn’t give you away. Didn’t I tell you to go left from the beginning? Which way did you go?” 

“I” Emelie gritted her teeth and retorted in a lowered voice, “It’s been so long, and there’s no evidence. You can say anything you want. Also, I don’t care anymore. Will you let me go or not?” 

William sneered, “That’s very magnanimous of you. You don’t care, but I do. How can you just accuse me? 

He just wouldn’t give up. He wanted an answer. 

Emelie’s breathing quickened. Finally, she burst out, “Because, for three years, I’ve been nothing but a tool in your eyes! Because you’re fickle and capricious! You’re always like that, so don’t blame others for thinking the same of you!!! 

William smirked. “What about you? You were eyeing other men when you had me. You acted as if you truly loved me, Emelie Between us, you’re the one who deceived me first” Emelie asked, “When did I deceive you?” 

When? It was six months before their official falling out when he was considering if they could take things further. Marriage was an option for him at that time, but she… William stared at Emelie intently. Suddenly, the image from that night flashed through his mind. His whole body was tense, seemingly enraged. 

After a while, his emotions subsided, and his tone turned cold again. “Think for yourself from when I started neglecting you” 

Emelie wasn’t wasting her time thinking about that. She asked one last time, “Will you let go or not?” 

William pressed his lips into a straight line. He forced her into this. Just then, Emelie slammed into his abdominal wound. 

William, still not fully recovered, winced in pain and released his g 

sgrip. 

Emelie immediately pushed him away and created distance before knocking on the partition. “Ashton! Stop the car!” 

Ashton stopped the car, but it wasn’t because Emelie told her to; they had reached their destination. 

Even though the partition separated the front and back, the space inside the car was limited, so the sound couldn’t be completely isolated. Ashton could clearly hear the argument between the two in the back seat. 

She was shocked inwardly. She couldn’t believe that the usually gentle Emelie could be this daring in front of William. 

The moment Emelie glanced outside, anger flared up again. “We’re not at the hospital!!! 

After taking a breath, William sald hoarsely, “Haven’t you spent enough time there?” 

Emelie looked closely and realized it was the hotel they had stayed at before. She pursed her lips and ignored him. As soon as the car was unlocked, she immediately pushed the door open and got out This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

But as she entered the elevator, William caught up with her. He swiped the room card and selected the 19th floor. Then, in a sudden move, he pulled Emelle into a corner of the elevator and captured her lips in an overpowering kiss
