    “I’m worried about my mom, and I just want to stay close to her. The doctor says that she has to hold on until tomorrow morning for the surgery. I’m afraid she won’t make it till then, so I don’t want to leave her side.”

    Emelle looked up, taken aback


    It was care for William to serve anyone.


    As be filled the second bowl of stew, Emelie mumbled, “There’s nothing much can do for her besides staying by her side.”


    William’s voice was cold and detached. “I get it. I get that you don’t want to go back to Eastbay with me tonight.”


    He set down his half–filled bowl of stew and looked at her. His eyes seemed to see through her thoughts.


    “I wanted you to return to Eastbay so that you can get a <b>good </b>night’s sleep. What did you think I was trying to do?”


    It wasn’t just about what she thought it was more about what he was trying to do.

    William ate a spoonful of his stew. “Her assistant has sent her the medical records. Although she’s not here, she’s well aware of Mrs. Hoven’s condition. She’ll arrive at Capebatt Chytonight and perform the surgery tomorrow morning before flying back to Labios in the afternoon.”

    Emelie was Enally relieved. She sincerely said, “Thank you!


    Willum looked up. “Is <b>that </b>all you have to say?


    Emelie was bewildered. What else should she say?


    William stared into her eyes. “Is there anything you want to ask?!!


    Emelie hesitated “About the medical expenses, are you going to pay a deposit and bnce or settle it all at once?”


    William leaned back in his chair, his gaze <b>cold</b>


    Emelie was confused by his response.


    William loosened <b>his </b>the. The fiery gleam in his eyes was a stark contrast to the dark sky behind him. “I’ll pay it all at once. Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility for Mrs. Hoven’s

    “That’s my promise to you just remember to keep your promise to me.”


    Emelle’s promise to William was to retam to his side. To be his secretary at work, and his tool in his personal life, just like how it had been in the past three years.


    He was constantly reminding Emelie of her promise, and yet he insisted that he harbored no ulterior motives.
