She hesitated with every step, unsure whether to approach or not. William Wilson had already started walking toward her.

She furrowed her brows, pondering how to apologize to William Wilson, "Darli..."

Her words were abruptly interrupted by William Wilson’s sudden hug.

For a moment, she was completely dazed, her mind went blank.

Although she had fantasized countless times about embracing William Wilson, after all, as a fan girl-wife, who wouldn’t dream of such things?

But at this moment, with William Wilson suddenly embracing her like this, she was utterly unprepared, not even able to think of what kind of reaction would be appropriate.

She just stood there, dumbfounded, being hugged by William Wilson, her body stiff, not daring to move an inch.

She didn’t know how much time had passed before William Wilson finally moved.

He released Laura Jones from his embrace, his heavy gaze carrying a hint of faint grievance. In a hoarse voice, he said:

"Laura, I was scolded badly today."

It was just this one sentence that made Laura Jones forget the chaos of the previous moment, replaced by a heart full of guilt.

"I’m sorry."

She apologized, which this time, instead made William Wilson stunned.

Why was she apologizing to him out of the blue?

"If I hadn’t let Selim, that ingrate, stay at our place, you wouldn’t have been in such trouble."

The explanation Laura Jones continued with made William Wilson understand the reason for her apology.

William Wilson looked at the worry intertwined with the furrows on her brows, and a pleasant smile spread from the bottom of his heart.

"Do you trust me?"

He asked, seeing Laura Jones nod without hesitation, "Of course, my judgment isn’t wrong."

Her response, without the slightest hesitation, further unleashed the pleased feeling William Wilson had in his heart.

"I originally wanted to apologize to you, but I was a bit afraid that you’d be upset."

Laura Jones looked at William Wilson cautiously, speaking softly.

William Wilson lowered his eyes to look at Laura Jones, his deep eyes focused and intense.

For a moment, he was somewhat unable to resist the desire to get close to her, to pull her into his arms and tease her.

But reason still held him back from this impulse.

He had waited for so many years, a little more time didn’t matter.

"How could I ever be mad at you? Laura is the best girl in my heart. Other people’s mistakes have nothing to do with you."

His voice was gentle, his gaze focused and tender.

Laura is the best girl in my heart...

At this moment, Laura Jones’s mind was filled with William Wilson’s words, making her heart brim with joy, unable to stop herself from smiling ear to ear.

William Wilson was infected by her bright smile, and the anxiety and heaviness he felt before coming to find her disappeared completely.

"I’ve already taken care of the matter with Charlotte Gresia."

Laura Jones listened to William Wilson say this.

She wasn’t surprised that William Wilson knew it was Selim’s doing.

"What do you plan to do with her?"

Laura Jones’s nature was easygoing but not soft; the things Selim had done before made her feel angry and bewildered, but hadn’t crossed her bottom line.

However, today, knowing that it was Selim who harmed her husband’s reputation online, an unprecedented rage almost burned through her sanity.

In the deepest part of her heart, she even conceived the thought of wanting Selim to never recover.

She never knew she had such an uncontrollable side to her anger.
