My ex-husband is in love with me (FULL)
Chapter 399 Delicious Prey

Julian came out of the bathroom and saw Emelia in a daze, blushing.

Julian felt some kind of a stir. In his impression, Emelia looked like this mostly when they were hooking up.

His Adam's apple rolled a few times and he went over to her, asking in a whisper, "What's happened? Why are you blushing?"

Upon seeing Julian, Emelia immediately recalled Frances's words. Her face turned even hotter.

She turned around, to avoid looking at Julian. "Nothing really. I've just called Francesand told her that we're not going there tomorrow."

"I'll go take a shower now." After saying this, Emelia dodged into the bathroom.

Julian looked at Emelia's somewhat flustered back, lost in thought. So, he picked up his phone and called Frances, wanting to know what they had talked about just now.

Julian felt thirsty when he figured out the contents of their conversation.

It was a long time ago when he and Emelia had sex.

Honestly speaking, Julian had been living like a monk over the past two years. He had no sex life the first year after the divorce. After Emelia came back, they hooked up a few times, which was close to none.

After hanging up Frances's phone, Julian casually turned off the bedroom light, then walked to the bathroom, lazily leaned against the wall next to the bathroom, and waited.

She had always been shy, and turning off the lights would make her much more relaxed.

Emelia spent a long time in the bathroom. She took a shower, dried her hair, and then did her skincare. Julian waited patiently outside.

Julian felt like a hungry wolf waiting for his delicious prey. Of course, he had to wait until she was clean and sweet-smelling. It would be more delicious, no?

Julian picked up Emelia as soon as she stepped out of the bathroom without hiding his aggression.

Emelia exclaimed in his arms, "What are you doing?"

"According to Frances, we should try out if the treatment works." As he spoke, he threw her into the big bed.

Emelia didn't expect that Julian would call Frances. She instantly felt awkward. Soon she found an excuse, "But we need to catch the plane tomorrow."

"Don't worry. If you are too weak to walk tomorrow, I can carry you. We won't miss the plane," said Julian.

Emelia had a mixed feeling of anger and shyness upon hearing Julian's blunt reply. But Julian climbed onto her, giving her no chance to resist.

The next day, as expected, Emelia couldn't walk. Thinking of what Julian had done to her last night, Emelia intended to just stay in bed.

She begged him to be gentle last night, yet he didn't give a damn about it. So why would she care about his feelings at the moment? And he even said last night that if they were going to test the effect of the treatment, they had to go all out.

He was full of excuses anyway. She was worn out by him.

When Julian came out from the dressing room, Emelia was still in bed.

Julian looked fresh, which made Emelia angrier. She said, "I'm going to Grafstin with you. I'm too weak to do so. Go there by yourself."

"No way." Julian bent down to her, smirking, "A promise is a promise, you can't take it back."

"And what did you promise me last night?" Emelia accused in anger. "You said it'll be a quick one, and what happened?"

Julian shrugged and said in an innocent tone, "It was a quick one."

Emelia was speechless, thinking, "Are you showing off your stamina, jerk?"

Julian took the opportunity, hugged her, and whispered, "You have to go, seriously."

"I can't do without you."

"Please! Come with me."

Emelia couldn't stand it when Julian begged her this way, so she agreed.

Twenty minutes later, they went downstairs and got into the car, heading to the airport.

Emelia leaned against Julian and dozed a little. When they got on the airplane, Emelia fell asleep again.

After two hours of flights, they arrived at Grafstin. Maisie went to the airport to pick them up.

Emelia immediately noticed that Maisie looked sick. So, she held Maisie's hand and asked in concern, "Are you okay? You don't look so well." Maisie waved her head slightly, looking kind of weak. "I'm alright. I haven't been sleeping well these days, thanks to Mr. McBride."

Julian looked at Maisie and said slowly, "I'll drive. After sending me to the hospital, you guys go back and take a rest. I'll handle this." "Okay." Maisie gratefully agreed.

At the hospital, Maisie suddenly grabbed Emelia's hand after Julian enter the old Mr. McBride's ward.

Emelia was startled. Turning around, she saw Maisie squatting there, with her other hand on her lower abdomen.

Emelia immediately supported Maisie. "What's going on, Maisie?"

Maisie said weakly, "Could you please bring me to the maternity?"

"Okay." Emelia supported Maisie, asking people all the way, and finally brought Maisie to the maternity.

Maisie didn't look well, Emelia was so worried that she didn't ask the reason.

At the maternity, the doctor said that Maisie was not in a stable state and that she needed to rest in bed to make sure the baby was okay. Emelia was completely baffled upon hearing this. "Didn't you abort..." Emelia thought that Maisie had aborted Ezra's child.

Maisie patted Emelia's hand. "I'll tell you later."

After accompanying Maisie to get an injection and taking the medicine, Emelia was able to sit down and listen to Maisie talk about what had happened.

"I didn't have the abortion." Maisie laughed self-deprecatingly, "I can't help it, this is my child with the man I love. I just can't. I told him that I did it to keep the child."

"You know, Ezra was an illegitimate child himself. If it wasn't for the fact that the Cantillo family didn't have any other heir, they won't accept Ezra. Being a bastard had brought him great pain. So, he would never, under no circumstances, allow the child to exist. I didn't have any other choice."

Maisie's voice was full of bitterness while saying these words.

Ezra didn't love her to the point that he would marry her. So, the child was meant to be illegitimate.

Ezra hated this identity, so he won't allow the child to be born.

To keep the child, Maisie had no choice but to deceive Ezra.

Emelia's tears fell. She felt sorry for Maisie. "Are you sure? It won't be easy for you to raise a child alone."

Maisie's eyes were full of tears too. "I've been in love with such an extraordinary man, how can I love anyone else?"

"I won't be in relationships anymore. I won't marry. I'll try my best to live with this child. I won't see Ezra in the future, and he won't know the existence of the child."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
