Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 409 Young Crush
Emelle was slightly stunned.
Elena paused for a moment.
Just then, the waiter brought out a tray of dishes, and she accidentally bumped into him. The waiter hurriedly apologized, but
Elena grabbed a dish from the tray and smashed it onto the ground.
“All those times he had taken me to restaurants and cafes were because you had gone there first, and he had followed you! All
those walks and movies... he had done them all because he was just following you!
“He never walked me back to the dorm because you weren’t in the same building as me, so he knew that he didn’t have a
chance to run into you. Even when I begged him to walk me back just once, he refused and wouldn’t agree!”
Elena unleashed her pent–up emotions from the past month. People around them started filming her, but she didn’t care.
Emelie looked up at her. Her heart was trembling, and her eyes were quivering slightly.
“He got together with me because you decided to go out with Wesley that day, and he was jealous.” Elena laughed bitterly.
“Why do I want you dead, you ask? If you were me, wouldn’t you hate it if you’ve been used as a tool? Emelie, you have no idea
how devastated I was when found out that you were with him!
“After all these years, he still loves you, and now, he finally has you. Just thinking about how satisfied he must be to have you
makes me wish that you were dead! The man I’ve been obsessed with for so many years has only ever had you in his heart!”
Being used as a tool?
Emelie had no intention of comparing who was more of a tool, but what Elena had said was all news to
her.
She found it unbelievable and absurd. If Elena weren’t so earnest, she’d suspect that it was all in her
imagination.
Emelie pressed her lips together and asked, “Are you telling the truth?”

Exhausted from venting, Elena slumped back into her chair, “Emelie, what exactly makes me inferior to you?
“Is it because of your looks? You’re pretty, but I’m not bad either! Is it family background? You don’t even compare! You’re not
even a fallen heiress. You’re just an ordinary person!
“Is it because of your capabilities? I’ve worked hard abroad for years, and I’ve gained lots of experience. I’m confident that I’m
better than you! So, why can he only see you? Why is it that he only has eyes for you?
At this point, there was no need to continue the meal.
Emelie and Ashley left the restaurant and went to another place to have a simple meal.
Unlike Mona, Ashley didn’t want to gossip about such a bizarre incident. Ashley didn’t mention it at all, knowing that Emelie’s
mind was also in turmoil and that she needed time to think,
After the meal, she mentioned that she would be heading back to Capebatt City.
Emelie immediately took out a small box from her bag and gave it to her. “Thank you for helping me these
past few days. Drive safely on your way back. See you in Capebatt City.”
Ashley blinked and opened the box. Then, she smiled.
There was a pair of asymmetrical diamond earrings in the box. One earring was in the shape of a star, and the other was in the
shape of a moon.
Emelie rubbed her nose and said, “When I saw these, I thought they’d suit you. It’s just a small token of my appreciation.”
Ashley had received many gifts from clients before, but this one was her favorite.
“I’ll take them. Thank you. Let’s have dinner again when you’re back in Capebatt City.”
Emelie smiled and nodded. Ashley left after that.
Emelie walked back to the hotel. After a few steps, she sat down on the steps of a store that was already. closed.
She needed to think carefully about what Elena had said.

Had William always been paying attention to her?
Emelie’s memory of William from high school was limited to knowing his name. They had barely crossed paths, to the point
where she had forgotten about him after she had gone to college.
Later, when she had become his secretary and had discovered that they had gone to the same high school, she was surprised.
Therefore, what Elena had said was entirely beyond her knowledge. However, Elena had no reason to lie about such things. If
everything Elena said was true...
The cold winter wind cleared Emelie’s mind further as she racked her brain for clues.
The last time she’d invited William for a meal at a private restaurant, he’d inexplicably ordered a bunch of dishes to be packed for
the janitors. That action had brought back a memory from her high school days. In that memory, there was a wealthy young man
at the school who would always treat everyone to afternoon tea. She had even gained a few pounds because of it.
Could it be that the person who had treated everyone to the afternoon tea was William? Did he treat the entire grade just to give
her something? Was he repeating his old tricks just to hint at those memories? No wonder he had said yes so easily on that rainy
night three years ago when she had begged him to take her.
That night, to her, he had appeared as a savior from the heavens, but to him, she was the long–lost crush from his youth.
