The Accidental Wife (Emily and Julian)

I didn't want to know the reason behind his panic attack out of curiosity. I was genuinely worried about him and I wanted to know how he started to get him

"After I force you to leave then found out the truth, things changed. I started to push everybody away and stayed within the walls of my house, wetu to work and visited my parents occasionally. I didn't do anything else. I didn't like what he was telling me. I didn't like the life separation issue. I'm scared of losing the people I love."

His eyes didn't meet mine and all I wanted at that moment was to assure him that he had nothing to be ashamed of

"I have been attending therapy sessions." I wanted him to know that he wasn't alone.

"I scarred us, didn't I?" he mumbled with a sad smile. I didn't know what to tell him, because I really got scarred. It was my first time to notice that he was scarred too,

"Maybe we need to look at what happened from a different point of view," I said, trying to make him feel better...

"What do you mean?" he wondered.

"It helped us to grow, Julian, and now we have our little Rosie," I told him.

I took a look at him face and knew that he didn't agree with me. The more time I spent with Julian, the more I realized that he wasn't really okay. I didn't know what to do to help him out and I didn't like seeing him in that state,

I was still in a state of disbelief because of what he had done for me. He bought the company for me. When I left, I thought that he would forget about me. Not once had I thought that he would still be hung up on me. I thought he would move on after maybe a year or two. It had been a long day, and I only went home after Rose had been transferred to a normal room. Rosie had already fallen asleep by the time I was back.

It was hard for me to fall asleep as I kept thinking about everything that had taken place after my return. I knew that once I was back, there would be a bit of drama, but I didn't expect to see Julian in that state,

While I was alone in my bed. I felt somebody open the door to my room, making me quickly sit up, I saw Rosie walking inside my bedroom, making me breathe out in relief

"I had a bad dream. Can I sleep with you?" she mumbled sleepily. I immediately opened my arms for her, and she latched onto me, letting go of the teddy bear she was holding

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked her, but she shook her head, holding more onto me. I kissed her head and made sure that she wasn't cold before finally deciding to close my eyes.

Two days later, Rose was finally able to go back home, and Julian asked me if I could bring Rosie to see her.

"Daddy!" Rosie happily hollered once she saw him. The bond between them had been growing and it was getting stronger with time.

= "Hello, cupcake." He kissed her cheek. "I missed you?

"I missed you too," she said with a bright smile on her face. Her blonde hair was up in two pigtails, and she looked extra adorable

The three of us headed to Rose's bedroom since she was in bed.

The moment Rosie saw her, she ran and gave her a hug.

"Mommy told me that you're a little bit sick. I hope you get well soon," Rosie told her grandma.

"Thank you, sweetheart" Rose kissed her check.

"Can I talk to you for a moment outside?" I asked Julian who nodded at my request.

"Is everything okay!" he asked me. I got the Filene brought to my office out of my bag and handed it to him. "I don't understand." He frowned.

"I can't accept something I haven't paid for, Julian." I didn't w money he previously paid.

"It's yours. It shouldn't belong to anyone else," he argued. "Just because I'm the one who got it back for you that doesn't mean that you don't have the right to own it." "You bought it, Julian. This makes it yours, not mine." I tried to exp

explain my point of view to him, but he wasn't having it

If our divorce was normal, you would have gotten way more than what this company was worth when I first bought it," he tried to reason with me, but I shook my head 1106 AM c d

"Even if our divorce was civil. I would have gotten nothing because I signed a prenup, remember?"

"I would have given you something!" he argued.

"I don't accept charity, Julian. I either earn what I get or I don't want it at all," I told him.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

in Jeffrey's hand any longer," Julian tried to convince me.

"Then let me pay you the money you bought it with at least," I gave him an option, but it was clear that he wasn't fond of it.

"Not going to happen." He shook his head.

"We need to reach an agreement and you're not helping." I sighed in frustration.

You can just end this all if you accept it," he said, shrugging.

"I won't take something for free, I insisted.

Julian and I were basically in a staring contest and neither of us seemed to be ready to give up for a while. But then he came up with a good solution when he said, "Give it to Rosie. What do you think about this?" I stayed silent for a few seconds, before finally nodding. That was a good option.

"Is everything okay here?" Uncle Steven's voice caught our attention.

"Yeah, everything is fine." I smiled at him.

My phone started ringing in my bag, so I got it out to see who was calling.

It was Maya.

"Hey, Maya," I said. As I heard what she had to say, I realized that I wasn't going to be completely free of everything I once ran away from.
