Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart

Chapter 181 Missing You

Chapter 181 Missing You

"Emelia...” Julian whispered her name. "Are you sure you can't give me another chance?”

"It's getting late, go get some rest,’ said Emelia, before rising to leave without answering his question.

Julian slumped into the couch.

Failed again.

But then he stood up and stopped her, "It's not safe for you to go back alone at this time of night."

"I'll have the driver come by and take you home.”

While waiting for the driver to arrive, Julian asked Emelia, "How much do you trust Vincent? Aren't you

afraid he's up to something?”

Julian was still upset about Vincent's decision to make Emelia his adopted daughter.

Because he didn't understand why Vincent would do such a thing, he only met Emelia once and asked

her to be his adopted daughter?

That doesn't make sense, at least for someone as thoughtful as Julian.

It's not that it doesn't make sense. He has a reasonable explanation, which is that Vincent was up to

something with Emelia, and that explanation

made Julian even more uncomfortable.

To Julian's suggestion that Vincent was up to something, Emelia asks, "What does he want from me?”

Julian did not hesitate to say, "You are young and beautiful."

"Julian, why is your mind in the gutter?" Emelia fumed

Julian hummed, “It's not that I'm dirty-minded, it's just that older men like Vincent are attracted to

young, beautiful girls like you.”

Julian knew in his heart that this was who he wanted Vincent to be, and he didn't know what he was

getting himself into.

Emelia then added with a faint smile, "So when you grow old, you will covet young and pretty girls as

well?”

Julian couldn't answer, and when did she become so smart-mouth that she literally choked him off.

But then he hastened to explain to himself, "I am not like them, and I am sure that in my old age—”

He wanted to say that when he was old, he would be still loving her, but before he could finish, Emelia

cut him off, "You're not like them, because you

don't have a heart.”

Julian was furious.

He used to have no heart for her, but now he has one. Couldn't she feel it?

Before she could say anything more, Julian's driver arrived, and Emelia told Julian to have some rest

and left.

After most of the night, Emelia was tired and went home to wash up and rest.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

The next moming, she went to the Hughes Group for a meeting. Nina also attended the meeting;

Marvin Reynolds and the actress he recommended

to play the role of supporting actress were present as well.

The actress, Zella Sabir, might seem eccentric, but Emelia had seen the audition video of Zella, which

Viggo shared with her. Zella managed to get

in the character immediately, a girl that was sweet on the outside but evil and sinister on the inside.

This huge contrast was the best proof of an actor's skill, so Emelia also had no objection to Zella

playing the white moonlight.

Yvonne had tried to play the role before, but after the audition, Viggo gave Yvonne a No.

Yvonne might have been a good choice without Zella's performance, but the difference was there. Zella

is much better than Yvonne.

Julian was present at the meeting as well, and one of the staff members asked about his hand after

seeing Julian's injury. Julian glanced at Emelia,

who was whispering something to Nina in her seat, "Cat scratched me,” he replied lightly.

The man laughed and joked, "It's not a woman, is it?"

Men like to refer to a woman who can't be tamed as a pussycat, so it's not surprising that the man

misunderstood Julian's word.

Julian glances at Emelia again. “No.”

If it was a woman, that would be all right, but she didn't scratch him, she didn't even care about him.

Nina, hearing Julian's words, leaned into Emelia and whispered, "He wasn't scratched by your cat, was

he?"

"Yes, I went to the hospital in the middle of the night," Emelia said. “Fluffball didn't get rabies vaccine

injection.”

Nina immediately put her hand over her mouth and laughed. “Look at him. Even the cats don't like

him."

Nina had never been shy of roasting Julian, and with how loudly she laughed, Emelia motioned for her

to tone it down.

"I've been taking care of Fluffball for you these past few days, and Fluffball hasn't even scratched me

once, so that's proof that he's a terrible

person.” Nina continued to gloat.

Emelia said, "Who knows what's wrong with him. He wanted to see Fluffball in the middle of the night.”

Nina tsked, "He's not crazy, he’s missing you, and he said he wanted to see the cat, but he actually

wanted to see you.”

Nina's words gave Emilia Goosebumps; it's not that he misses her; such things have nothing to do with

Julian.

The two were whispering, and whispering about the big boss who was sitting in front of them, so they

kept their voices low and head close together.

Julian on the seat, took a look, seeing Nina's face were so close to Emelia, he immediately couldn't

bear it.

Even if they were both women, even if they were close, there's no need to be that close, right?

Julian turned his head to look at Maisie sitting next to him, who immediately understood, “Good

morning, everyone, let's start the meeting.”

Hearing Maisie said this, Nina and Emelia then pulled away, and Julian’s face also relaxed a little.

The meeting lasted for about an hour, and after it was over, Nina took Emelia’s arm and walked out,

saying as she went, "You can take my car later,

let's go see how your house in Valerian Bay is."

Emelia told Nina that Vincent and Naomi had given her a house, and Emelia didn't really want to move

in, she didn't think it was appropriate.

But Nina thought it was nothing. It just so happened that Nina had nothing to do today, so she dragged

Emelia along to see the house.

Julian, who was also walking behind, heard Nina's words and immediately stopped in his tracks to look

back at Emelia and asked with a frown,

"You have a house in Valerian Bay?"

Emelia did not have time to say anything, Nina answered for her first, "Mr. Hughes, you haven't heard?

Mr. and Mrs. Longerich gave Emelia a

house, right in the Valerian Bay."

Julian suddenly changed his expression and asked incredulously, "Vincent gave you a house, and you

just accept it?"

Julian had already been critical of Vincent taking Emilia in as a adopted daughter, but now, hearing that

Vincent had given Emelia a house in

Valerian Bay, it was clear that Vincent was up to something with Emelia.

Emelia was unable to explain to Julian her inexplicable trust and closeness to Vincent, and she had

dinner with the Longerich's that night, she

could clearly feel the warmth and kindness of that family.

How could Vincent have been honest enough to bring her home to his family if he was up to something

like Julian said he was?
