Winning Her Heart Back

Chapter 498 Because He Likes You 

William froze for a moment. When he realized what Emelie had said, his face darkened instantly 

“You really-“But before he could finish, a wave of anger surged through him, making him cough violently William was infuriated by Emelie. 

Before the situation could escalate further, Lyle decided to step in “Will, the captain needs to see you. Maybe you should go check it out?” 

William’s face burned pale from coughing, making his eyes look even darker. He stared at Emelie intensely. 

After a moment, he finallycaught his breath. 

He said in a hoarse voice, “You better stay alive. If you die, what will happen to your mom? Are you going to let her die too? What about your sisters and your little niece? Don’t you adore her? You always bring her gifts. If you’re not around, we’ll have to turn to them.” 

Emelie’s lips curled into a bitter smile. 

She had nothing left to say, nor did she want to. She turned and went back to the cabin, slamming the door behind her. 

William pressed his lips together, not opening the door again. She probably even wished he were dead now What was there left to say? 

He held his aching ribs and walked away. 

As he passed Lyle, he left a command, “Take some food in for her.” 

Although Emelie’s words had hit him hard, it hurt her too. She collapsed onto the sofa, clutching her stomach in pain.. 

After awhile, the pain subsided. She curled up, feeling completely drained. 

After some time, she began to worry. With things between them so strained, would William still let her visit her mom in the hospital? 

The door opened again, and she looked up coldly. 

It was Lyle. 

da tray of food. “Aren’t you 

you going to eat? You’ll need your strength to visit your mom after we land. If you starve 

Emelie didn’t hide her displeasure, but Lyle just smiled and held up a tray yourself, who’ll take care of her?” 

That hit her weak spot. She paused for three seconds before looking away. 

Taking her reaction as consent, Lyle grinned and walked in. He set the tray on the table and laid our the food. 

Her meal consisted of pasta, ribs, and blanched broccoli. 

As he handed her the utensils, he said softly, “There’s not much good food on a plane, but this will do.” 

Emelle didn’t care about the food. She just knew she needed to eat something. 

She took the utensils and plates from him and noticed they were porcelain, 

Her eyes flickered briefly before she started eating. After a few bites, she realized Lyle was still leaning against the wall, watching her with an unreadable expression “What’s up? Are you going to scold me on his behalf?” she asked without emotion. 

“You really don’t appreciate anything, do you?” Lyle said, crossing his arms and smicking “Will is doing all this because he likes you. Those other women? Daphne, Melanie, Elena are all impostors. You’re the only one in his life. What more do you want?” 

He spoke as it William’s affection was a blessing she should be grateful for. Emelle ignored him and continued eating. 

As if he was making casual conversation, he asked, “Is that Graham guy really your first love? You’ve been hung up on him for ten years? What’s so special about him? Just his looks?” 

Emelie didn’t respond 

Lyle was never very polite to her. When she didn’t answer, he pushed her shoulder. “I’m talking to you.” 

The slight push made her drop the plate, which shattered on the floor

Fanelle looked at him with a blank expression. “If you didn’t want me to eat, why bring it at all?” 

Lyle scratched his nose. “It was an accident. I’ll get you another one.” 

“Don’t bother. I’ve lost my appetite,” she said, putting down the utensils and bending down to pick up the pieces. 

Lyle quickly stopped her. “I’ll have someone bring a broom. Don’t hurt yourself.” 

Inele shagged off his hand, retreating to the sofa and curling up again. 

Lyle glanced at the broken pieces on the floor before looking back at Emelie’s indifferent expression. Something flashed in his eyes. Hepeshed his tongue against his check and called someone in to clem up the mess.
