Chapter 191 Struggle to Get Their Lovers Back
Harry had originally wanted to toast to Emelia, but Julian had drunk hers. How could he not be embarrassed when he was left standing there?
Emelia was rather embarrassed as well. Julian was simply too detestable.
Fortunately, Jean stood up in time and said to Harry with a smile, “I’ll drink with you.”
Jean called herself “sister” affectionately, causing Arthur almost spit out the wine in his mouth. When he looked unhappily at Jean, he saw that she had already clinked glasses with Harry and started drinking.
Harry took advantage of the steps that Jean had given him and looked gratefully at her. Jean returned a smile.
The interaction between the two made Arthur feel that they were flirting.
Emelia didn’t drink any more, because she didn’t want to touch the wine glass used by Julian. If it weren’t for so many people, she would have really brought a glass of wine to pour on his face and punish him for being so rude.
Nina and Emelia sat together. She leaned over and whispered to Emelia, “I have a hunch that Mr. Hughes and his friends are all destined to have a hard time pursuing their lovers.”
“Look at Arthur, he looks like he wants to tear Jean Hilgard into pieces. Obviously, he used the wrong way. Which girl would like to be treated like this? And I think even if he purses her with all his heart, Dr. Hilgard may not be with him.”
“As for Mr. Cantillo, the more cynical he is now, the more he will pay for it in the future.”
Emelia whispered, “When did you become an emotional expert?”
Nina said the same as before. “I’ve played in too many love scenes, so I can naturally understand many things from them.”
After so many years of debut, she had played all kinds of roles. Every role had its own fate. It was said that acting was like life, and life was like acting. With the change of each character, her temperament had also become much calmer.
Emelia sighed softly and said, “Arthur did use the wrong way.”
If Arthur really wanted to keep an eye on Jean, it was absolutely impossible for him to deal with Jean in such a way.
Nina nodded and said, “In regards to this point, Arthur was not as perceptive as Julian. At the very least, after Julian saw through his own thoughts, he is now sincerely pursuing you and trying to get you back.”
Nina snorted again, “Arthur didn’t fully comprehend it, perhaps it was because he didn’t feel enough pain.”
The party had lasted until very late at night. In the end, the only person who were sober were Emelia, and Julian was also okay.
Harry was picked up by his manager. Maisie and Jean each called a designated driver.
Arthur simply lay drunk on the sofa. Ezra originally wanted to stay at Julian’s place, but when he saw Maisie call the designated driver, he got up and said that he would go with Maisie.
As for Nina, she was so drunk that she was brought back to her own house next door by Emelia. Watching Emelia leaving with Nina without even turning her head, Julian raised his hand and squeezed his forehead.
Since he drank the glass of her wine, she had never said a word to him.
She was angry.
He felt a headache about this.
He didn’t want Emelia to drink that glass of wine with Harry. He didn’t want her to have the slightest interaction with Harry, so he’d snatched her wine and drank it on the spot out of impulse.
Now, he had to pay the price of his impulse again.
Julian went home with a headache, thinking about how to coax her tomorrow.
The next morning, Julian, who was neatly dressed and ready to go out to work, saw a worker driving a car in front of the Emelia’s home, with several ornamental plants on the truck.
Emelia, who looked so gentle and soft in her pajamas, was signing for the packages at the door. Julian walked over and asked, “Who gave those to you?”
Emelia ignored him.
Julian felt embarrassed. He remembered that he had offended her last night, and she was still angry with him.
The worker beside him said with a smile, “A Mr. Johansen gave these to Miss Jones. He said that his girlfriend has just moved to a new house and needs this kind of green plant to purify the air.”
“A gift from Johansen? His girlfriend?
That must be Viggo Johansen.
Julian’s lips curled into a cold smile. Viggo Johansen was really pretentious.
Sending green plants for purifying the air? It seemed that he took every opportunity to impress Emelia.
He was too scheming, he even wanted to fawn on Emelia when he was no here.
After Emelia signed, she handed the notebook to the worker and said, “Please help me move in. Thank you.”
After said to the worker, Emelia decided to enter the room, pretending that there wasn’t a living person in front of her, like Julian.
Julian had no choice but to stop her. He looked down at her and said without any temper, “I’m sorry for last night.”
Emelia looked up at him and sneered. “If an apology is useful, why do we need the police?”
Julian was speechless.
Emelia was really annoyed by his so-called apology, so she angrily said such words to stop him, and then bypassed him and went back to the house.
He knew that it wasn’t appropriate to do so, but he still ignored it, making her and Harry both feel quite awkward at that time. What could he make up for after apologizing?
Julian, who was left outside, took a deep breath and turned to leave.
Nina had drunk too much last night and was still sleeping in the bedroom upstairs.
Emelia ordered the workers to place a few green plants and then called Viggo.
“Thank you for giving me the plants. They’re just what I need.” Emelia hadn’t contacted Viggo since she moved over yesterday. He must’ve learned from the trending news about Harry and Nina on Twitter last night that they were having dinner together.
Viggo said gently, “I knew you’d just moved over and didn’t have time to arrange these things. I’ll help you if I can.”
After thinking for a while, Emelia explained to Viggo, “Last night, we…”
“Emelia, as I said, you don’t need to explain anything to me. I believe you.” Viggo interrupted her in time.
But now that Viggo trusted her so much, Emelia suddenly thought back to that morning when she and Julian had almost lost the control. Instantly, she felt even more guilty.
Although she was just a nominal girlfriend of him, she didn’t seem to have done enough.
She really couldn’t continue to be in such a weird interaction mode with Julian. In her heart, she swore to herself that she must draw a clear line with him.
Emelia asked again about Viggo’s mother’s physical condition. Viggo said sadly, “As usual.”
Or it could be said that her condition was getting worse and worse.
Chemotherapy tortured his mother badly, but he had hidden all these from Emelia. He was very grateful that Emelia had promised to be his nominal girlfriend to help his mother leave without regret.
He would not ask too much from her.
Viggo added, “I’ll go back in a few days and start shooting ‘Princess Leilania’.”
Emelia said worriedly, “But your mother…”
Viggo replied, “We have tried the best to accompany her. Besides, she doesn’t want me to stop all my work.”
“Since the early work is done, and I can’t let everyone wait for me.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Emelia didn’t say anything else.
