Chapter 127 Regrets
Viggo did not seem to believe it. “Really?”
Emelia replied, “That’s true.”
After that, she quickly changed the topic. “How is aunt?”
Viggo said in a helpless tone, “You just left for a day, and she said that she missed you. She said that she doesn’t need her son.”
Emelia couldn’t help but laugh softly.
Julian, who had been sitting by the bed without saying a word all the time, saw Emelia and Viggo interact on the phone.
At that moment, when he saw her smile because of Viggo’s words, he felt heartbroken.
Emelia didn’t talk much with Viggo. After hanging up, she noticed that Julian’s gaze was like a sharp knife, falling straight on her face.
She looked away and got out of the bed. After standing still, she asked Julian, “I’m fine. I can leave, right?”
“Sure.” As soon as Julian said that, he found that he was extremely hoarse.
When Emelia passed by him, she said, “I’ve given the money of the clothes to Maisie.”
Her tone was cold and distant, as if she wanted to draw a clear line with him. Otherwise, she would not even have returned the money the clothes to him.
After saying that, Emelia left. Julian pursed his lips and followed.
Because Emelia still had to go to the police station to do record, Emelia had no choice but to take Julian’s car. She had no choice because Ezra and Maisie had left.
Maisie sent a WhatsApp message to Emelia: Emelia, I have something urgent to do with Mr. Cantillo. I’ll go and visit you tonight.
As for why Maisie and Ezra had left, they were on purpose, creating an opportunity for them to get along with each other. Otherwise, Emelia would definitely have taken Maisie’s car back.
After leaving the ward, Maisie and Ezra were waiting in the corridor. Maisie wore a formal professional suit and looked out through the window of the corridor without squinting at other places.
Although Maisie had lived a hard life since she was a child, she was still tall.
The slim suit perfectly outlined her lines, making her look graceful.
As for Ezra, he leaned against the window with his hands in his trousers pockets. His laziness was in stark contrast with Maisie’s seriousness.
After looking Maisie up and down with a pair of beautiful eyes, he said with a smile, “Maisie, I haven’t seen you for a long time. You are more beautiful.”
In the past, Ezra used to tease Maisie like that, but Maisie pretended not to hear his joke most of the time.
But Maisie changed her usual attitude. She turned to look at him and said lightly, “Mr. Cantillo, aren’t you getting engaged? Won’t your fiancée mind you chatting with another woman in such an ambiguous way?”
Ezra was stunned for a moment and then said angrily, “Who the hell said I am getting engaged?”
Maisie looked out of the window again and said in a low voice, “Isn’t it on the news now?”
A few days ago, the news that he had dinner with the rich girl became a headline.
Ezra said with hatred, “You’ve been working for Julian for so many years. Don’t you know how the rumor between him and Yvonne spread?”
Maisie was slightly surprised and turned to look at him. He said angrily, “It’s just a family arrangement. I didn’t agree.”
His explanation made the sadness in Maisie’s heart disappear.
She whispered, “I’m sorry.”
But the next second, Ezra said without emotions, “I am person who don’t want to get married. How can I compromise and marry for the family’s interests?”
“What’s the advantages of marriage? It’s not worthwhile to give up my freedom for a woman for the rest of my life.”
The joy in Maisie’s heart was suddenly disappeared because of his words.
She lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in her eyes. She knew that he was always unruly and affectionate. How could he get married for someone?
Ezra suddenly asked her, “Maisie, what do you think of those who are eager to get married?”
Maisie took a deep breath and looked up at him. She with a smile, “Maybe it’s because their hearts are so small to hold more than one person within, so they want to marry with their beloved one.”
After Maisie finished speaking, Ezra narrowed his eyes and said, “Maisie, why do I feel that you are scolding me? You are scolding me for being sentimental.”
Maisie smiled more happily. “I’m not. Everyone’s choice is different.”
She did not want to continue to talk about the question with Ezra. She turned around and planned to go out for some fresh air, but Ezra also came out with her.
Ezra took out a cigarette and held it with his mouth. He lazily suggested to her, “Let’s go back first.”
Maisie was puzzled and Ezra explained carefully, “Let’s give your boss a chance to spend time alone with Emelia.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Maisie suddenly understood. “Okay.”
Although she didn’t want to be with Ezra at the moment, she chose to leave with him because of his idea.
When the they arrived, they drove one car. After Julian rushed out of the auction site, Maisie quickly chased after him. Ezra called her and said that he would pick her up.
Maisie then sent a message to Emelia and went back with Ezra.
Emelia had been making the confession at the police station for a long time. It was already noon when she came out.
Julian suggested tentatively, “Let’s go back after lunch.”
“I’m not hungry.” Emelia insisted. “You can go by yourself. In addition, I’ll take a taxi back myself.”
But how could Julian let her take a taxi back in that state? He grabbed her wrist and forced her into his car.
“I won’t eat. Let’s go.” After getting in the car, he quickly drove away, afraid that Emelia would insist on getting out of the car.
In truth, Emelia didn’t want to go with him, but she was exhausted, both physically and mentally. She didn’t want to waste any more time, so she left it to him.
As soon as Emelia got in the car, she closed her eyes and leaned against the seat, keeping silent all the way.
She didn’t attend Vincent’s signing session, nor did she attend the screenwriter’s lecture. Emelia was regretful.
Vincent was not flamboyant. Except for signing session, few people could see him. It was not easy to talk to him.
Emelia didn’t say a word, and Julian didn’t know what to say. They just returned, speechless.
After sending Emelia downstairs, she thanked him and left without looking back. All Julian could do was suppressing his emotions and driving away.
In fact, he really wanted to comfort her, but obviously, she didn’t need that.
It was only after Emelia returned home that she couldn’t control her emotions. She locked herself in the bedroom and burst into tears.
She didn’t know how long she had been crying. When she calmed down, she heard someone knocking on the door.
She had no choice but to rush to the bathroom to wash her face and then opened the door. Julian was standing outside with a meal box in his hand.
