NovelEnglishChapter 404 Giving You a Ring The night outside was pitch black, and the winter wind blew light snow through the window crack. Despite the chill, the room remained warm and humid.
Emelie reached out from under the covers to turn on the bedside lamp.
However, William pressed her bare back down and kissed her neck. When she shuddered, his movement intensified, and he began trailing kisses from her neck down to her waist.
Emelie flopped back onto the pillows and curled up from the ticklishness. Just as she turned to push William away, he interlaced their fingers together and pinned her hands down on the pillow before kissing her. Emelie felt uncomfortable with how clingy William was being.
He had approached her like a sick stray dog the night before, but now, he was acting like a needy golden retriever.

As William moved within her, he watched as Emelie lost her usual composed demeanor under the dim light. He suddenly remembered the day that someone had called to ask if he had won Emelie over yet. He hadn't answered, but the person already knew that he hadn't succeeded. Thus, the person had offered him another idea.
"William, have you heard the saying that confessions are for kids, while adults would seduce? The first step in seduction is to abandon human nature and beca cat, a tiger, or a dog caught in the rain." "What does that mean?" "It means acting weak and pitiful and then seizing the moment to get what you want." It seemed to be working. William smirked slightly. He scooped Emelie up off the bed and sat her on his lap with her head leaning on his shoulder.
The depth of this position made Emelie's mind go blank. It felt as if she were sinking into the deep sea.
Amidst this overwhelming sensation, she vaguely heard him whisper in her ear, "Angel, how about I buy a ring and put it on your finger?" Emelie didn't register it at first and just gazed at him with a dazed look. Moments later, his words sank in, and her eyes widened in shock.
Did he just say that he would buy her a ring? What kind of ring? Was it just a piece of jewelry? Or was there going to be a proposal and a wedding? Emelie instantly felt her breath catch. She couldn't tell if he was speaking out of desire or if he had real intentions.
She didn't dare to face the potential outcome. When he finished, she quickly pushed him away and said, "I need a shower." William swiftly grabbed her hand as his dark eyes met hers. "I'll join you." Emelie pulled her hand back. "Go to your own room. I want to sleep alone tonight." Then, she shut the bathroom door with a bang.
William stared at the closed glass door as he poked the inside of his cheek with the tip of his tongue. She'd kicked him out after they were done. It was as though he was just a casual fling.
At Lovelight, Ashley had been waiting in the private room for a while, but Emelie hadn't returned.
Ashton said, "Ms. Hoven has probably left with Mr. Middleton." Ashley nodded in understanding. "Then, I'll head htoo." She got up and left the private room, but she stopped by the restroom first.
When she cout after washing her hands, she unexpectedly saw Beathan leaning against the wall while smoking a cigarette.
Ashley didn't react. Instead, she walked past him without a glance.

Ashley's brow furrowed slightly before she quickly composed herself and continued walking without looking back.
Beathan stubbed out his cigarette.
He yanked her over and pinned her against the wall before kissing her forcefully. Ashley immediately turned her head to avoid him and brought her knee up to strike his groin.
Her move forced Beathan to release her and retreat quickly.
Ashley then pulled out a wet wipe from her bag, wiping her wrist where he had grabbed her, and looked at him coldly.
"Mr. Collins, it's no wonder that you're so unethical. You were handling the Allen family's case, but inform them that it failed to likely only result in a suspended sentence. You clearly have no understanding of the law. Do you needto explain the penalties for sexual harassment in public?"
Having said that, she threw the wet wipe into the trash before leaking at him as though she was looking at something filthy. X
