Chapter 434 Don't You Dare

"No. I've only ever met your dad three times," William answered. They first met on New Year's Day, the second encounter was at Alderbrook, and then finally on New Year's Eve at the mansion. Just three brief encounters. Emelie lowered her head, feeling disappointed. William knelt on one knee, held her face in his hands, tilting it upward. "Angel, how can I help you move past this?" he asked as he looked into her eyes. Emelie shook her head. It was impossible for her to shake off the weight of her father's sudden death. Forgetting wasn't easy unless she lost her memory. Suddenly, William leaned in to kiss her, but Emelie instinctively pulled away. He didn't pursue the kiss further but simply looked at her deeply. With their intimate distance, Emelie could clearly see the soft creases of his monolids. His gaze wasn't sharp like it usually was. Instead, it was filled with concern. Emelie pressed her lips together. She got out of bed and started changing out of her pajamas.
