Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 408 He Only Loves You
Ashley had thought that Emelie was joking, so she didn’t expect Emelie to actually take her to dinner with Elena.
They arrived first. It took a little while for Elena to be fashionably late with her bodyguards.
She walked all the way from the doorway and looked at Emelie without blinking while the latter stared back at her. Their eyes
locked, and they gradually drew closer. Emelie was somewhat surprised.
In just over half a month, Elena had become quite wom.
Her looks were exotic, with deep–set eyes that were very striking. However, now her face had thinned considerably, and despite
her makeup, it couldn’t hide her gaunt appearance.
Elena, barely in her twenties, already looked somewhat aged.
Meanwhile, Emelie wore a mint–green coat over her suit. Her fair skin complemented the outfit. Elena seemed like a dull grain of
sand next to a pearl.
Elena couldn’t accept being inferior to Emelie. Her gaze grew colder. The first thing she said after sitting down was a sneer. “I
thought you wouldn’t dare come.”
Emelie nodded honestly. “After being tricked by you once, I was indeed hesitant, so I brought a lawyer, and I chose a restaurant
with a lot of people. Most importantly, there’s a camera above us recording every move. Ms. Allen, you won’t be able to use any
tricks.”
Elena glanced at the camera and then back at Emelie. Her gaze shifted from cold to calm. One couldn’t tell what she was
thinking.
Ashley asked, “Can we order now?”
Emelie smiled. “We just got off work and are quite hungry. Ms. Allen, do you have a budget for this meal? If not, we’ll order as we
please.”
Elena didn’t respond, so Emelie took it as having no budget. She called the waiter, ordered a few dishes, and then asked Elena,
“Do you have any dietary restrictions?”

She asked because, firstly, as a secretary, she was used to considering everyone. Secondly, since she had accepted the money
for reconciliation and agreed to this meal, there was no need to get all worked up.
Elena answered, but what came back was, “Stew, barbecue, and skewers.”
Emelie found it amusing. “This is an eastern kitchen. They don’t have those items. If you had mentioned stews earlier, we would
have chosen a stew restaurant
Elena’s response was off–topic, and her intentions were clear. “Did he never take you for stews, barbecues, or skewers? It
seems you’re not that special. He took me there when we were still together.”
Ashley had no idea who the guy she referred to was.
Emelie, on the other hand, understood immediately. She was talking about William, referring to their high school relationship.
Elena didn’t seem to want any more.additions. Thus, Emelie signaled to the waiter that their order was complete. Then she
picked up her glass and took a sip of water.
Elena stared fixedly at Emelie. She didn’t want to miss a single change in her expression. “After eating. we’d take a walk hand in
hand, enjoying the night breeze, sharing our thoughts and sweet words. Did he ever do that with you?
“When we passed a cinema, and I wanted to watch a movie, he’d take me in. We’d share a bucket of popcorn, and no matter
how boring the movie was, he’d watch it with me till the end. Did he do that with you?
“Then, at the end of the night, he’d reluctantly walk me to the dormitory and say goodnight. Was he ever this tender with you?”
No. No. No.
If she insisted on asking, Emelie’s answer would be no.
She couldn’t even imagine William doing those things.
He was cold and dignified, and he seemed aloof to everyone. However, he had been particularly fond of her alone. To meet such
a dazzling person in her youth, it was no wonder Elena had been obsessed with him for so many years.
Elena’s face showed a longing for the past. “Back then, I truly believed I must have done many good deeds in my past life.
Otherwise, how could I have had him and become his official girlfriend?”

Emelie put down her glass and then asked, “Is there anything else?”
Elena had expected Emelie to be jealous, resentful, or to lash out and tell her to shut up.
However, she didn’t expect Emelie to listen calmly as if she were hearing a stranger’s story. Elena gripped the edge of the table
tightly. “Aren’t you jealous? Aren’t you envious?”
Emelie said, “You’re treating me to dinner, and I’m listening to you vent. It’s fair. Ms. Allen, if you have more to say, please
continue. I’ll listen while eating
*That’s because you’ve never loved him as much as I do. Of course, you don’t feel anything!” Elena suddenly burst out in anger
as she stood up abruptly.
The restaurant that Emelie had chosen was crowded. Elena’s sudden outburst drew the attention of several nearby diners.
Elena glared at Emelie with reddened eyes. “Even just seeing the two of you together drives me crazy with jealousy! All these
years, I’ve been working hard abroad.
“I wanted to be worthy of him, and I wanted to return to him radiant. And I did it! I achieved it! Yet, he only loves you! He still
loves you, just like back then!”
