Chapter 114 We Were Together
Emelia had thought that just one meal from afar would be enough. She hadn’t expected that he would come again the next night.
When Emelia opened the door and saw the man standing outside, she instinctively didn’t want him to enter. “Mr. Hughes, my feet have recovered. You really don’t have to come.”
“After all, you were injured because of me. I can’t rest assured until you completely recover.” After saying these words without changing his expression, he strode past Emelia and entered the room.
Emelia forced herself to accept his care again and cooked him a cup of coffee after dinner. The two of them spent another peaceful night together.
On the third night, when he went back to visit, Emelia wasn’t at home.
Julian stood at the door of her house and called her with a gloomy face. Emelia said on the phone, “I’m sorry, Mr. Hughes. I have gone out.”
Hearing this, Julian immediately frowned and said, “Have you recovered? Does the doctor allow you to run around?”
Emelia replied seriously, “I’ve been persisting in spewing medicine for the past three days and my swelling has long subsided. There’s no problem with my actions.”
Julian paused for a moment and then asked, “Where have you been?”
“A distant place.” Emelia replied.
Obviously, she didn’t want to tell him her destination, so Julian had to grit his teeth and said, “Be careful.”
“Thanks.”
They simply chatted for a while and then hung up the phone. Julian looked down at the delicious dinner in his hand and suddenly lost the desire to eat.
He didn’t know what was wrong, but he with Emelia these two nights. His appetite was quite good.
Ever since he had been admitted to the hospital due to stomach disease last time, his appetite had been very bad. No matter how all kinds of delicacies were placed in front of him, he didn’t have the appetite.
He returned to his residence with dinner. While eating, he called Maisie and asked her if she knew where Emelia had gone.
Maisie said she didn’t know, nor did she hear from Emelia that she was going to another city.
After hanging up the phone, Julian thought for a moment and contacted Nina.
Nina smiled happily on the phone, “Of course I know.”
Julian came straight to the point and asked, “Where did she go?”
Nina did not hide anything. “It’s Viggo’s hometown.”
Julian had a bad feeling in his heart. “What is she doing there?”
Nina smiled and said, “Mr. Hughes, I guess you already have an answer in your heart. It doesn’t matter. Just tell me the answer in your heart.”
Julian almost choked to death because of Nina’s words.
He did have an answer in his heart, but the answer was so heart-piercing to him.
When Viggo’s mother was ill, Emelia went to visit her. There was no need to think too much to understand the meaning behind it.
Even before this, the relationship between Emelia and Viggo was not real, but after this visit, it was confirmed.
Nina continued, “Mr. Hughes, people’s hearts are soft, so is Emelia.”
Julian couldn’t suppress his anger. He sneered and said, “She always said that she loved me. Is this her so-called love? She just got divorced and turned to another man’s arms!”
Nina’s stone was full of mockery. “Mr. Hughes, with all due respect, you’ve been divorced for more than a year. If you put a child on someone who’s fast enough to get married, Emelia would be considered conservative.”
Julian’s heart sank after hearing Nina’s words. He hung up the phone without saying anything.
He didn’t believe it. He didn’t believe that Emelia was really with Viggo. He didn’t believe that Emelia would fall in love with someone else.
He took out his phone and wanted to ask Emelia personally, but he suddenly found that he didn’t seem to have any stance. She had nothing to do with him for a long time. There was no need to tell him whether she was in love or not.
She had only answered that she was in a distant place just now, which was enough to prove her stance.
Nothing about her could be told to him.
He was not in the mood to eat at all. He pulled off his tie, went upstairs, and threw himself into his big bed.
Lying on the bed with a dejected look, he looked up and saw the chandelier above his head, simple but elegant.
This lamp was changed by Emelia. He still remembered that it was an extreme joy after their sex love time. She whispered to him in his arms and said that she wanted to change the light in the bedroom. Because of the heavy metal type before, she felt that it was too heavy.
He agreed. He had always let her do such a small thing, especially when she proposed a request after their joy of love.
Feeling a little annoyed, he looked away. When he turned around, he saw the bed curtain of the floor-to-ceiling window. It was changed later by her.
The original layout of this villa was his style before. She had changed a lot after she moved in.
In the past, he didn’t feel anything wrong. After the divorce, only he lived here himself could he realize that because of her arrangement and existence, this place became more and more home-like.
Julian didn’t know what was wrong with him either. He had been divorced for more than a year, but he suddenly got hurt tonight.
As for the relationship between Emelia and Viggo, Nina’s description was correct, but there was also a side that she purposely hid.
Emelia had indeed established a relationship with Viggo, but they were just pretending.
Because Viggo’s mother’s condition was not optimistic, the biggest regret for the old woman before she left was that her son could not get married.
For this reason, Viggo specially called Emelia and asked her if she could pretend to be his girlfriend temporarily so that his mother would have no regrets.
Emelia agreed.
For both public and private reasons, Emelia would agree to Viggo’s request.
Mr. Johansen gave her a chance to be a screenwriter, which was equivalent to giving her a chance to be reborn.
In private, Viggo also gave her endless care. When she was in trouble, he always supported her as soon as possible to help her.
Because she had promised to pretend to be Viggo’s girlfriend, Emelia left for his hometown under Viggo’s arrangement.
By the time Julian called Emelia, Viggo had just picked Emelia up at the station in his hometown.
After getting into the car, Viggo asked Emelia while driving, “Is it a call from Mr. Hughes?”
Emelia nodded. “Right.”
Viggo asked gently, “Did he know?”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Emelia shook his head. “I didn’t say anything. There’s no need to tell him.”
Julian just asked her where she had gone. Could it be that she could say that she was coming to pretend to be Viggo’s girlfriend?
Viggo added, “I heard that Mr. Hughes has been sending you meals these days. He cares about you very much.”
“He must feel sorry for hurting me.” For the past few days, Emelia had pondered over the reason why he had sent her food time and time again. Most likely, he felt sorry.
After all, if he hadn’t grabbed her so rudely that night, she wouldn’t have sprained her feet.
Now since she had recovered, he probably would not contact her again.
This was the true relationship between Emelia and Viggo. Nina knew everything, but she deliberately didn’t tell him the truth. She just wanted to provoke him.
Of course, Emelia had also specifically instructed Nina not to tell anyone the truth. Even though it was just an act, she couldn’t reveal any flaws to the public. Now that the Internet was so developed, if it were to reach Viggo’s mother’s ears, wouldn’t it be even worse for the old woman?
