Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 704

After leaving the detention center, Emelie didn't return to the hotel to rest.

Instead, she went to a shopping mall. Inside the mall was an authentic Lathrian-style restaurant where she would be meeting Emmie.

Emmie had arrived a little early. The dishes she had ordered were already on the table, but she hadn't touched them. She had only sipped half a glass of her water.

Emelie was very hungry after having traveled back from Borealis City to Capebatt City and running around all day. She sat down without hesitation and started eating.

She quickly finished a Caesar chicken salad, a whole pasta, and a chicken wing to fill her stomach before saying, "I just visited him at the detention center."

Emmie asked softly, "Did he know that it was me?"

Emelie took another piece of chicken wing before replying, "He asked me not to tell him who the informant was, but he clearly suspected that it was you, though he didn't want to hear your name directly."

Emmie closed her eyes for a moment before taking out a small jewelry box from her bag. "I found this in a drawer while cleaning the room."

The jewelry box was small and clearly contained a ring.

Emelie didn't open it but watched her instead. Emmie's face looked somewhat pale, and the small red mole on her forehead seemed to have faded.

"He once told me that he had the urge to take me to the city hall to get a marriage certificate when we passed by, but he didn't. I thought it was because he thought I wasn't worthy of being his wife."

Emelie didn't gloat but said fairly, "He probably believed that if you were his wife and he ended up in prison, you and the child would end up suffering too."

A child with a criminal record for a father would face a bleak future.

Although Charles didn't officially marry Emmie, giving her a wedding ring was his way of acknowledging her as his wife.

As Emelie glanced at the small box, her ring finger twitched slightly again. She tightened her grip on the fork and continued eating. "It seems men place a lot of importance on wedding rings."

Emmie remained silent.
