NovelAppChapter 416 Daphne's Relationship with Whitney Ronan had yet to return by mealtime. Thus, the housekeeper went out to look for him.
Emelie originally wanted to help Greta set the table, but Greta insisted she go and keep William company.
She worried that her new son-in-law might feel uncomfortable sitting alone.
As if William would ever feel uneasy. It's doubtful it would even happen if the sky were to fall.
Still, Emelie went over.

Emelie had thought to sit on a smaller seat on the side, but William pulled her over to sit with him.
He whispered in her ear, "What did you say to your mother?" Emelie, sensitive to sound, moved slightly away. "I didn't say anything." "If you didn't say anything, then why has her attitude towardchanged so much? Do you think I wouldn't notice? She wasn't pleased withjust now, but what could make your mother displeased with me?" William pinched her finger.
William's confidence stemmed from his perfect qualifications. Unless they were only in it for the money, a parent's foremost consideration when getting their child married was the partner's character.
Emelie calmly stated, "Isn't our ambiguous relationship enough to displease her?" William lowered his eyes and looked at her.
Emelie thought that since they were considering marriage, they should be honest with each other. So, she decided to question him without hesitation.
Thus, she also looked back at him. "Your mother is in Sentiland, and you sent Daphne to Sentiland to accompany her. What status did she go there with?" William played with her fingers. He smiled a little. "Is it your mother who's displeased or you?" Emelie stared at him without blinking. "Why are you changing the subject? Is this difficult to answer?" "Are you mimicking me?" William pulled her toward him, and Emelie quickly propped herself against his chest to avoid being completely embraced.
Her mother was still in the dining room after all.
She didn't have the habit of hugging and kissing a man in front of her parents.
Emelie glared at William.
He looked affectionately at her with his eyes falling on her hand pressed against his chest.
Initially, she didn't think much of it. They had been open with each other countless times before. What was wrong with a little touching? However, he looked at her so intentionally that she felt the warmth of his body under her palm.

Were a man's chest muscles that hard when relaxed? Wasn't it supposed to be soft? Wait, that was not the point now! Emelie was almost distracted.
She glared at William with annoyance. She knew he was trying to change the subject.
Before she could ask again, William calmly explained, "My mother has bipolar disorder, and Daphne's violin can soothe her emotions. She used to take care of my mother for a while. Recently, my mother's condition worsened, so she was asked to try it out. She didn't go with any particular status."
Emelie was stunned. She had no idea about this. "When? When did Daphne take care of your mother?" William moved the ring on her finger and said, "When Daphne was sophomore she went on a trip to Sentiland with her classmates and played the violin in the park. When the nurse pushed my mother out to bask in the sun, she accidentally discovered that her violin could calm her emotions. Then, she told me.” Emelie realized something. "Is it the violin that can calm your mother's emotions? Or is it only the violin played by Daphne?" "I've had seven to eight violinists play the spiece for her, but it didn't work. She only calmed down when Daphne played it." Emelie frowned slightly.
William continued, "Thus, I dug up Daphne's contact and communicated with her personally, offering herla salary and promised her a position at Cloudex Corporation in Sentiland after graduation in return for her assistance in my mother's treatment." "Did she say yes?" Emelie's eyes flickered. She seemed to be able to guess what was to cafterwards. "She took care of my mother in Sentiland for a year. Afterwards, she returned to continue her studies. Half a year ago, she performed a violin piece at her senior graduation ceremony at Capebatt University, William said.
"After her performance, she cdown from the stage, identified herself, and said she had graduated and wanted to be by my side," he continued. "This was something I promised her long ago." X
