Chapter 118 A Bad Sign
Grandpa was quite surprised. For a moment, he didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.
His grandson, who was highly educated and an atheist, actually agreed to seek help from a fortuneteller. It could be seen that he really wanted to know what would happen to his marriage with Emelia in the future.
It could even be said that he longed to hear a good answer, which could relieve his inner suffering at the moment.
After four years, his grandson finally realized the importance of Emelia. Grandpa should be happy.
But on second thought, Emelia was now with Viggo, and his grandson might never have another chance. It made Grandpa sad again.
However, he soon calmed down and told Julian, “Then go to the mountain with me later. Don’t go to the company for now.”
Julian was puzzled, “The mountain?”
“Yes, go to the temple and ask for fortune telling.” Grandpa explained, “One of my friends is a brilliant fortuneteller who lives in the mountain. He’s the best choice for us. First, he is skillful, and second, he can keep it a secret for us.”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Julian had no choice but to agree.
Grandpa lived in a beautiful place with a mountain not far away. It was a famous scenic spot in Riverside City.
Grandpa lived alone all year round. From time to time he went for a walk in the woods, where he met this fortuneteller. They would play chess together. Gradually, they became good friends.
When they arrived at the fortuneteller’s house. When the man saw Grandpa Hughes, he quickly invited them to the backyard.
There were several towering trees in the temple.
Julian frowned slightly. Could he say that he didn’t like this superstitious place at all? But he didn’t know why he had just promised Grandpa to do this.
When did he e become a person who would hand over his fate to someone who lived in such a place? However, since he had come here, he had no choice but to follow Grandpa to meet the fortuneteller.
The fortuneteller was about the same age as Grandpa. His beard was white and he looked amiable.
After hearing their purpose, the fortuneteller stroked his beard and handed a cup of tea to Julian, asking him to drink.
Julian drank it all and handed the cup over to him. The fortuneteller focused on the residue inside the cup.
After a long while, he said, “Falling flowers covered my yard, lovers separated.”
“Young man, this is a bad sign. You and that girl are not destined to be together.”
“Cheer up and find someone else.”
After the fortuneteller finished speaking, Grandpa became anxious first. He took the cup and looked at it carefully.
But he could not see any sign of course.
“Nonsense!” After a long moment of silence, Julian stood up angrily and turned to leave without hesitation.
He regretted coming here with Grandpa.
His fate was up to him, and his marriage with Emelia was also up to him to decide.
“Hey, you brat!” Grandpa behind him scolded him. “Why are you so rude?”
Julian ignored him and walked out of the door.
Screw this! Fortunetelling his ass!
He would never come here again!
Grandpa chased after him and said discontentedly, “Why are you so blown up?”
“You drank the cup of tea yourself. The fortuneteller was just helping you to interpret the sign according to the residue. What’s wrong with you? Besides, love is a matter of fate. If you miss it, what’s the use of regretting now?”
Julian was already in a bad mood. What Grandpa said hurt him again. He simply asked, “I’m leaving. Are you going down the mountain?”
Grandpa said grumpily, “Get lost. I’m playing chess my friend.”
Without looking back, Julian got into the car and asked the driver to take him down the mountain.
Because of the event in the morning, Julian was in a very bad mood all day long.
David and Maisie did not dare to provoke him since he entered the office. Both of them also saw the news that Emelia and Viggo were together. Although they were also surprised, they could only accept it.
Maisie deliberately called Emelia to ask, and Emelia admitted it.
Maisie was sad as well. As a trusted subordinate of Julian, she naturally hoped that Emelia would remarry Julian.
But as for love, you could only respect the choice of the parties involved, right?
Fallout continued over the event of Viggo’s mysterious girlfriend. In the morning, Viggo issued a statement through the company: “My mother is in a bad condition these days. Please give her more private time. Don’t disturb her. Thank you.”
Without denying the existence of the mysterious girlfriend, it was equivalent to a tacit consent.
Emelia stayed in Viggo’s hometown for three days. After his mother was discharged from the hospital, she came back.
First, Viggo said that he didn’t need her to stay there all the time. That was all right as long as his mother knew that he had a lover.
Secondly, Emelia was also coming back for a signing session. Vincent Longerich, a writer and screenwriter Emelia admired very much would hold a new book launch in Riverside City. Nina had given her a ticket before, which made her very happy.
Emelia had liked Vincent’s books since she was in college. At that time, she had read all the novels of Vincent in the school library, because Vincent’s novels had basically all been adapted to TV series. Emelia watched all the TV series after reading the books. She was a loyal fan of Vincent.
Emelia not only liked his books, but also liked his personality. As a talented people, he was extremely low-key and reticent.
This book was a new one by Vincent after he stopped writing for many years. That was why Emelia was looking forward to this new book launch.
Yes, Vincent had not written new books for nearly four years and completely been out of everyone’s sight.
According to Nina’s information from the people in the circle, Vincent’s wife was ill. He had been accompanying her to treat the disease for the past few years.
Vincent and his wife had been married for decades. Although they had no children, but it did not stop them from having a good relationship.
After she knew the reason of why Vincent retired, Emelia admired him more.
A man that gave up everything else just to wholeheartedly take care of his wife in her difficulties. This was called true love.
The night before Emelia left, she returned to his home with Viggo and personally cooked a table full of delicious food.
Viggo’s mother took her hand and kept praising her. “How can there be such a good girl in the world? You are so beautiful and kind. In addition, you cook so well.”
“Viggo is really lucky to meet you in his life!”
Emelia was embarrassed by her compliment. Viggo said, “Mom, you forgot a little. Emelia is still very talented.”
Mrs. Johansen said in annoyance, “How forgetful I am. I forgot the most important thing. You are a screenwriter.”
“I heard from Viggo that the scripts you wrote are very good. I must watch your show.”
Emelia felt so warm in her heart. Having grown up in such a family, it was no wonder that Viggo was so gentle and easy to get along with.
