Winning Her Heart Back

Thoughtful Gestures 

Emelie couldn’t understand why she had made such a basic mistake just because she fell ill. 

After contemplating, she asked the stewardess, “Do you have any clothes I could borrow? Anything will do.” 

She couldn’t possibly appear in front of Samuel without wearing anything. 

The stewardess hesitated. “Can you use this uniform I’m wearing?” 

“That’s fine.” 

“Please wait for me for ten minutes. I’ll go get it now.” 

“Thank you.” 

The stewardess left the bathroom and closed the door behind her. 

Emelie didn’t take a shower. She wiped her face with a wet towel, put on a bathrobe, and walked out. 

She was still dizzy. 

She tripped over the bath mat, stumbled a few steps, and fell onto the bed. 

Before she could get up, William had barged in. 

This illness was indeed causing chaos. 

Of course, Emelie wouldn’t bother explaining anything to William. She would let him think whatever he wanted. 

It was good if he detested her, it made her resignation easier. 

Emelie spent the whole night in a daze. 

The following day, she woke up with a slight headache. But it wasn’t as severe as the previous night. 

She had never been this ill before. Her constitution had weakened significantly after the miscarriage. 

Emelie took a shower after breaking into a sweat. 

She had forgotten to take her luggage from William’s room. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

But it didn’t matter. Samuel said the dress she wore last night had been sent for dry cleaning and would 

be returned today. 

Emelie called the front desk to return the clothes and requested a set of disposable underwear. 

The front desk staff replied, “Of course, madam. I’ll have someone bring them right away. 

Emelie waited in her bathrobe for a while, and the doorbell rang. 

She got up to answer it. 

Indeed, it was the steward delivering the clothes. However, behind the attendant was Samuel. 

Samuel raised an eyebrow. “You should change your clothes first.” 

Emelie didn’t want to keep him waiting at the door. 

“Mr. Swanson, please come in and wait. I’ll be quick.” 

Samuel smiled, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Alright.” 

Emelie took the clothes to the bathroom to change. 

Samuel was looking at his phone on the sofa when she came out. He looked up when he heard Emelie emerge from the bathroom. 

Even though Samuel had seen her in this dress last night, she still looked stunning. 

Samuel’s eyes lit up. “Feeling better today?” 

“Nothing serious.” 

“That’s good. The ship is already heading back, and we’ll be docking in the afternoon.” 

Samuel stood up and prompted, “Would you like to have breakfast together?” 

“Sure.” 

The two of them went to the second–floor restaurant together. 

Emelie saw William and Patricia in the restaurant. 

Despite what happened last night, it seemed to have not affected William. His expression remained 

indifferent as usual. 

On the other hand, Patricia smiled as she rested her chin on her hand. 

Emelie lowered her gaze but saw Patricia taking her foot out of her high heels and using her toes to shake William’s trouser cuff. 

Emelie was dumbfounded. 

She withdrew her gaze and walked to an empty table with Samuel. 

William lifted his cold eyes. 

Patricia paused briefly and retracted her foot. 

Emelie wondered if his sudden coldness was because he saw her with Samuel or because he 

disapproved of Patricia’s lack of discretion. 

Emelie and Samuel each ordered a set meal. 

When the waitress brought the dishes, Emelie realized that the dish named “Myriad Colors” on the menu was actually a seafood pasta. 

3.3 

She thought it was made from purple yam, red carrots, and yellow corn. 

The naming was too abstract. 

Emelie couldn’t eat seafood because of her sickness. But it would be a waste if she refused to eat it. 

While Emelie pondered, Samuel swapped her seafood pasta with his pork and vegetable pasta. 

“You can have mine,” he said casually. 

He even noticed her dilemma. 

Emelie picked up her spoon, feeling touched. “Mr. Swanson, you’re so considerate.” 

Samuel smiled. “Then, I’ll be less considerate; pardon my intrusion, but what deal have you reached with Bryan?” 

He only introduced them and didn’t participate in their conversation, so he wasn’t aware of the details 

between them. 

His main concern was that if Emelie betrayed Cloudex Corporation to the Swanson Corporation to escape William, she’d be in big trouble if William found out. 

Worse, she might even break the law.
