Chapter 21 Apologizing to Emelia
Hearing Julian’s voice, Caroline immediately ran to him and said with tears, “Brother, that bitch splashed coffee on my face!”
Emelia had experienced such a thing as a thief posing as judge many times before.
She didn’t expect Julian to say anything for her, only whispered to Nina, “I am going to the washroom first.”
Emelia didn’t want to stay there and continue arguing. Although she was splashed with coffee, she also splashed it back, so they were even.
What she needed was to treat the injury on her wrist. A cool flush would help a lot.
Nina couldn’t bear to be insulted by Caroline, so she retorted indignantly, “Miss Hughes, why didn’t you tell your brother that you splashed the coffee at Emelia first, and the coffee that you splashed was hot?”
Nina grabbed Emelia and showed her arms to Caroline. she said angrily, “Emelia’s arm has been burned like this, how can you have the nerve to say that?”
“If things go to the worst, your face will be spoiled!”, Nina said through gritted teeth.
Until was Emelia pulled out, Julian found that her white T-shirt was covered with coffee, and her arm was red and swollen.
Thinking that Nina said that the coffee splashed by Caroline was hot, he immediately ordered, “Apologize.”
Caroline said arrogantly, “My brother has spoken. Apologize to me quickly.”
Julian stared at Caroline with a cold face and ordered word by word: “It’s you who should apologize!”
Julian’s words surprised Emelia, Nina and the people all around him, but Emelia turned her head immediately.
Ironically, when they were couple, he never sided with her. Now he had been divorced for a year, but he was willing to speak for her.
A famous scriptwriter once said: What is redundant? Coat in summer, fan in winter, and your care when my heart is broken.
She didn’t need him to side with her anymore, so she didn’t appreciate his help at all.
“What?” Caroline asked angrily, and exclaimed, “Are you serious? Why should I apologize?!”
“Yes, I did splash coffee on her, but she splashed back!”
Nina was good at quarrelling, and immediately refuted, “If you hadn’t used harsh words against Emelia first and splashed coffee on her, would she splash back?”
Nina looked at Julian and said sarcastically,” Mr. Hughes, your sister is really interesting. We just drank our coffee, but she came up to scold Emelia was deaf. It served her right, if you ask me.
As soon as Caroline heard what Nina say, she wanted to hit her.
Julian looked at Caroline with innate dignity, and she stopped at once.
But she gritted his teeth and said, “I would not apologize to her, over my dead body!”
Julian just said, “Since you haven’t realized your fault, it’s better to stay at home and reflect on yourself.
Hearing this, Caroline was so pissed that she almost fainted
Julian looked at Emelia, who was silent all along. “I will take you to the hospital.”
Emelia raised her eyes and said with alienated tone, “No, thank you! Mr. Hughes. It’s not a big deal.”
Her tone and expression were so alienated as if they were strangers. Julian stared at her stubborn face, and his unexplained restlessness became stronger and stronger.
He insisted, “Your arms are burned like this, and you said it’s okay?”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“It’s really not a big deal.” Emelia still refused. Even if she wanted to go to the hospital, she would go by herself instead of with Julian.
Julian put on a long face. The two just stood there and refuse to budge.
