Chapter 422 Don't Go

Emelie left Eastbay the next day. She declined William's offer to drive her as she was having lunch with Ashley. While Emelie was doing her makeup, William leaned against the dressing table. By the tone of his voice, it was evident that he was unhappy about her leaving him for someone else. "You're getting pretty close with Ashley now, huh?" As Emelie drew her eyebrows, she retorted, "What? Mr. Middleton, is it not enough that you're jealous of Mr. Swanson and Mr. Davis, now you're also minding my relationship with Ms. Thornton?" William did mind. He reached into her toiletry bag and selected a lipstick that complimented her look. Then, he lifted her chin and started applying it for her. "They've taken time that should have been mine. Can't I even grumble? Don't be too strict with me, angel," he said. Emelie couldn't help but smile. He leaned in closer and smiled too. "Don't smile. It’ll mess up the lipstick." He became focused and applied the lipstick on her meticulously.
