Chapter 130 Meeting Again
It was almost impossible.
Emelie worked as William’s secretary for there years, and she knew that Monday was the busiest time of the week for him.
Also, he had always been unwilling to tam to the Middleton residence. So, Emelie couldn’t understand why he would suddenly appear there.
She frowned instantly. After two months of not seeing him, it didn’t look like anything had changed about him.
It was currently winter in Capebatt City, and the temperature had dropped to below to Fahrenheit, William was wearing a black sult with a cotton coat. Clearly, he had just entered the house and was passing the housekeeper his coat.
When Emelle came out of the lachen, Williamlooked up, and his gaze fell on her
They looked at each other for a few seconds before William looked away first. He calmly accepted a warm towel from the housekeeper to clean his hands.
Meanwhile, Emelie was already teeling uncomfortable.
She brought the chowder to the dining table. Vanessa was setting the table, and when she saw the dish, she complimented, “This seafood chowder looks delicious. It’s perfect for a weather like this.”
Emelie smiled
Vanessa could tell that Emelie was smiling forcefully, and she knew what was the reason. So, she softly explained, “Henry has some work–related stuff to discuss with Willam, so he told William to come back for lunch, William had just anived ”
Emelie took the opportunity and said, “Since Mr. Middleton needs to talk about businessmy leave now
Vanessa quiddy stopped h
her and said, “How could you love when the food is ready? You’re the one who prepared the feast, so you must stay for it.
At that moment, Henry came from the Living room as well. “It’s nothing classified, Emelie Take a seat and eat with us. Lalso want to ask you about your parents.”
Emelie looked at William and pursed her lips. She had no other choice but to sit down
She sat with Vanessa on one side of the table while Henry sat on the other side with William.
The housekeeperserved each of them a bowl of chowder, and Henry started asking Emelie about the situation at her home. She told him everything was fine. cetahad Emelie by her side for the past two months, so her condition was stable, She never had another attack while she was on her medication.
Vanessa patted Emelie’s hand and said, “In that case, you don’t have to worry so much anymore, Emelie. The stress will take a toll on your body. However, from what I can see, you look way better than you did two months ago.”
“That might be because I lived in a small town with my mom. I had every meal on time and lived a healthy lifestyle, Emelle explained softly.
Was told Emelie how she also liked living in a small town. When Emelie lowered her head to have her chowder, she accidentally notlord William was glancing at
However, she didn’t know if he was looking at her on purpose. Since they were seated opposite of each other, it was also hard for him to avoid looking at her. “Please give me another bowl.

him herself.
Suddenly, she wid, “If inmember correctly, you like seafood chowder as well. Right, William? Emelie has always lown your preferences.
Emelie had a bad feeling, and she calmly said, “The ingredients were already prepared in the kitchen All Lood was cook them together.”
She was trying to say that she didn’t prepare the food for Wilham. Instead, she just did what she could.

Henry nodded. “just take a look at Ellas. That guy got married last month. Even though his wife likes to work, he has someone to miss after their marriage.
*Someone would always think about him as well. That sure feels nic..”
William frowned deeply in annoyance and interrupted Henry “What did you want to talk to me about when you told me to come home?”
Henry had been working for decades, and he had never been interrupted before.
At that moment, he felt threatened. “Is this how you should talk to me?”
William put down his spoon and got up. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going back to the company.“”
Henry was furious. “You!”
That was how they always had been. The father and son could rarely finish a meal in peace. They would always part while feeling upset because of one sentence. This was especially so when they started talking about marriage. Things would always get heated
