Chapter 414 The 300 Million Dollar Ring As they walked hfrom the mall, Emelie spent the entire ten-minute journey trying to figure out how to tell her parents that she was suddenly getting married.
How could she explain to them that their daughter, who left the house single, was returning half an hour later about to be married? Still unsure, she kept pacing around the alley with William until he lost his patience and grabbed her by the back of her neck, dragged her home.
"I've heard that even an ugly bride has to meet her in-laws. I don't think I'm so terrible to the point that you can't takehome, am 17" William said.
Quite the contrary, Emelie thought he was too impressive, which made it even harder for her to explain the marriage to her parents.
William lifted his brows slightly, prompting Emelie to bring him hwithout further hesitation.
Ronan had yet to return from his morning outing.
Meanwhile, Greta was both surprised and delighted to learn that Emelie had brought a male friend home. This was the first tEmelie had ever brought ha friend.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe housekeeper immediately recognised William. "Isn't this the young man who cto our house last time? Greta was confused. "Last time? When was that?" The housekeeper covered her mouth while chuckling. "It was when Ms. Hoven chlast time. I saw him coming down from the attic. Ms. Hoven said he was just a friend!" This time, Emelie didn't claim he was just a friend. No one knew a daughter better than her mother, and Greta quickly understood their relationship.
She carefully examined William.
His appearance was, of course, impeccable. In addition, he exudes an innate nobility which accounted for extra points.
No matter how she looked at him, he appeared satisfactory.
However, as a son-in-law who cthe "first time, he did not appear overly friendly and even seemed a bit distant. His authoritative demeanor also made it hard for others to feel at ease around him.
Greta's initial joy turned into satisfaction and then hesitation.
She tried to ask him sbasic questions. "Will, are you also from Capebatt City? How long have your known Eme?" William sat on the sofa. Despite the sofa's plain and aged appearance as a simple solid wood piece, his demeanor made it appear as though it was made out of something akin to luxurious ebony wood.
The house was facing the sun so there was ample daylight. Despite that, they had turned on the lights for their guest.
William, as charming as he was, seemed somewhat out of place under the harsh lighting.
"I'm from Capebatt City, and we've known each other for more than three years," he said.
Emelie kept her head down while she focused on making tea. She thought she would show him the love letter later and see how he would explain it.
Greta got the gist of what William said. "Three years is a long time. You must be very familiar with each other by now. You two must be thinking of the next step, right?" William glanced at Emelie with a slightly amused expression. "Yes, we are." a and William Emelie remained calm. She used her right hand to place two cups of tea in front of Greta while keeping her left hand, with the ring she couldn't remove, hidden in her jacket sleeve.
Greta moved closer to William. "Letask you a few more questions. Please don't findannoying. I only have one daughter, and I worry about her a lot." "Ask away," William simply replied.
"Are you working or running your own business? Is your incsufficient? Do you have your own house and car? Are your parents still around? Do you have any siblings?" Greta asked.
Emelie raised her head in surprise. Greta's barrage of five questions made her scalp tingle.
She tried to chinto the conversation. "Mom..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWilliam calmly answered, "I run my own business, and my incisn decent. I hav My nt. I have a house and a car. My parents are still alive, and I'm an only child." For the first time, Emelie felt like she was sitting on pins and needles in her own home.
What nonsense was this man talking about? His "own business" referred to none other than Cloudex Corporation, a Fortune 500 company.
And his notion of a "decent income" was starkly evident in the 300 million dollar ring he casually slipped onto her finger.
As for his house and car, they included a limited-edition Maybach parked at the town entrance, a vehicle so prestigious it drew tourists to photograph it. Not to mention a garage filled with similarly luxurious cars.
Emelie slowly realized just how mind-boggling William's wealth was.
Previously, she only saw him as her boss, someone she had a casual relationship with with no deeper connection. Thus, she never cared about his financial status. After all, his money had nothing to do with her.
X However, if they got married and beca couple, that would be a different story.
