My ex-husband is in love with me (FULL)
Chapter 418 I Cannot Fall Asleep Alone

"This is your personal matter. I won't meddle in," Julian retorted to Emelia with the words that she said to him earlier. Emelia glanced at him.

She had a feeling that he said that deliberately to annoy her. Julian added, "For the fairness, I also want to request you to do something."

"What is it?" Emelia was confused. She would take photos with Nina. Why would Julian request her to do something?

Before Emelia figured it out, Julian said, "In the future, we must take a set of photos and put them in the magazine after our relationship becomes stable."

Since Emelia would do it with Nina, he wanted to be treated equally.

Emelia was wordless.

She wondered what was in his mind.

She would shoot group photos with Nina, but why did Julian become so jealous?

Julian added, "Or, we can put our wedding photos."

Talking about it, he walked up to her and held her in his arms. He whispered to promise, "We didn't hold a wedding ceremony last time. In the future, I'll make it up to you. We will also shoot our wedding photos."

Emelia muttered, "We can shoot wedding photos, but are you sure any magazine agent is willing to put them in their magazines?"

Emelia had seen many magazines using photos of a real couple, but not many were wedding photos.

Julian said in self-confidence, "They'll be more than happy to put my wedding photos. We can put on other outfits for the magazine cover when taking the wedding photos."

Emelia understood that he wished to be treated equally with Nina. Hence, he wanted their group photos to appear on the magazine cover.

Emelia didn't think her objection would work. Hence, she said, "Up to you."

Julian finally felt better.

Polaris had ruined her own future. No one pitied her or helped her. She would be punished by the law.

Julian and Emelia didn't take care of this case anymore, leaving it to the police and their lawyer.

Julian and the Hughes Group were VIP clients of Phil's law firm. Although Phil didn't need to deal with Polaris' case in person, it was relevant to Emelia, so Phil believed he needed to handle it personally. After all, Emelia would be Mrs. Hughes soon. Phil wanted to establish a good relationship with her.

According to his own experiences in love and marriage, he knew it would be more helpful to build up a relationship with Emelia than with Julian, as the latter couldn't survive without Emelia.

No matter how arrogant Julian was, he must be obedient to Emelia.

Hence, Phil took the initiative to become Emelia's lawyer. As soon as it was announced, Polaris was destined to fail.

When hearing Phil would represent Emelia, no lawyer dared to defend Polaris.

Emelia was fully packed in the following days. Firstly, she would go to the young screenwriter training project, so she needed to prepare many things. Vincent also let her draft a speech and told her she would use it.

Then, she would shoot the group photos with Nina. Her hands were full.

After the shooting schedule had been decided, Nina reminded her, "You can't stay up late at night in the following days. Eat light dishes. Keep the good status of your skin. Then you'll look gorgeous in the pictures."

Nina was experienced in shooting photos. Hence, Emelia, the green hand, remembered her words. "Okay."

That evening, when Julian held Emelia in his arms and wanted to make love to her, she refused, "No, not today. I can't stay up late these days. I can't be over exhausted."

He would definitely make her stay up too late. She was too exhausted.

Julian was confused. "What do you mean?"

Emelia explained bluntly, "I'll shoot the photos for the magazine in a few days. Nina reminded me not to stay up too late or be too exhausted. Or my status would look bad on the picture."

Julian was wordless.

If he had known it earlier, he would have never let her take photos for the magazine.

He hadn't expected the magazine photo shooting would stop him from making love to Emelia, which he had put much effort into winning.

They would be apart for more than half a month. Julian had planned to make love to Emelia in those days. Hence, he immediately returned home after work. However...

"This is my first time shooting the photos for a magazine. I must be in my best status. Or, I'll look ugly on it. The public will criticize me again." With those words, Emelia pushed him off her body. She wrapped herself in the quilt and distanced herself from him, afraid he would force her to do something.

Julian was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. However, Emelia added, "If you feel tortured as we sleep on the same bed, let's sleep on different beds then. Will you go to the guest room? Or shall I?" "You wish!" Julian finally uttered two words. He was so annoyed that he almost couldn't replace his tongue.

He turned around, held her in his arms again, and squeezed words between his teeth, "Do you remember you'll go to the Capital for training for more than half a month?" Emelia nodded. "Yep."

Julian complained, "Shouldn't we make love as much as possible these days?"

Emelia bit her bottom lip, staring at him for a long while. Suddenly, she pushed him away and left the master bedroom.

She said, "We should sleep in separate rooms in the following days."

Emelia could tell Julian hadn't given up. For her best status in the magazine photo, she had to leave him alone.

When Julian understood what she meant and followed her to the guest room, Emelia had already locked the door from the inside.

Julian planted his hands on his hips, circling around the guestroom door to repress his anger and disappointment.

After that, he knocked on the door calmly, "I'm sorry. It's my bad."

He felt pretty natural when apologizing, so he said those words without hesitation.

There was no response from the guest room. Julian continued, "I swear. Before you shoot the photos, I won't do anything. We can't sleep in different rooms."

"We must. Go back to sleep." Emelia didn't believe what he said.

She was always gentle, but this time she insisted. Julian glared at the door outside. In the end, he had to return to the master bedroom in anger.

Sure enough, one shouldn't have been immersed in a cozy environment. Julian had been used to sleeping with Emelia on the same bed in the past few days. He couldn't get used to sleeping alone at all.

In depression, he returned to knock on the door. "As long as you agree to make it up to me, I promise I won't do anything in the recent few days."

Emelia snorted. "I don't buy it."

Julian said helplessly, "I can do it. Open the door. I can't fall asleep alone."

After a while, he heard some sounds behind the door.

Emelia's voice sounded out. "Julian Hughes, you must keep your promise."

"Okay!" Julian answered without any hesitation. Finally, the locked door was opened.

Julian felt a bit annoyed. However, a soft, warm body pounced at him the next second. Emelia's shy voice sounded in his ear, "Actually, I cannot fall asleep alone as well..."

Julian instantly calmed down, his heart softening. He carried her in his arms into the master bedroom. They slept while holding each other.[
