Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 398 Business Trip with Julian

Trevor was so upset that Julian couldn't tell him not to use Harry.

After hanging up the phone, Julian felt very down for an unknown reason.

Back in the room, he walked straight to Emelia, who was at the desk, pulled her up, hugged her tightly in his arms, and whispered, "Emelia, I'm glad I didn't miss you."

What Trevor's wife did to Trevor shocked Julian and left him with profound fear.

Fortunately, Julian had figured out his love in time. Fortunately, he acted in time to save it.

Otherwise, if Emelia completely gave up on him, he could only cry like Trevor.

Emelia sensed that there was something wrong with Julian, "What's going on?"

Julian couldn't tell her about Trevor, because she didn't know that he was in touch with Trevor. So, Julian whispered, "Nothing really. So many things have happened recently, and I got emotional."

Emelia didn't think much of it and did not ask further.

Julian was discharged from the hospital three days later, and under Julian's protest, Emelia could only live with him in the place they had lived together for three years.

It had been almost two years since they divorced. Emelia felt a lot when she returned here.

Nothing had changed. It all looked the same as when she was still here, except that the plants and flowers had died.

Julian didn't have the time nor the mood to take care of them. Within a few months of Emelia's departure, they all withered or died. So, Julian asked people to take them away. Emelia felt heartbroken when she thought about it as some of the flowers were quite expensive.

Julian felt guilty, so he proposed, "We can go to the flower market and buy some more. Or if you want, I can ask people to send some over by plane."

Emelia said somewhat angrily, "Do you think it's so easy? Flowers and plants are lives. They may not be able to adapt to the new environment even if they are carefully nourished. " Julian immediately confessed, "It's my fault."

Emelia went on saying, "As a punishment, you'll sleep in the guest room tonight."

Julian was all amused by her words. He put his hands on her shoulders, trying to pull her back and stop her from leaving. "Are you being evasive?"

Since the two were still husband and wife, they must sleep together.

They weren't able to do it in the hospital but now they were at home. There was no escape for her.

Emelia was indeed trying to avoid it. But before she could make any other excuses, Julian's cell phone rang.

Julian didn't let go of Emelia's hand even when she answered the phone. He clasped her waist and wrapped her around him.

In the past few days, Emilia had got how needy Julian could be. He was like an octopus. He would stick himself on her the entire day. So, Emelia gave up struggling.

However, Julian frowned as he listened to the call. His expression turned serious.

Emelia could hear that it was Maisie calling. They should be talking about the industrial park in Grafstin.

After hanging up the phone, Julian said in a serious voice, "I have to go to Grafstin."

Emelia asked, "What happened?"

"Suzanne McBride's father showed up and insisted that we should pay more. He asked for two million more. How greedy! And he kidnapped Suzanne, because of which her grandfather is now sick in the hospital."

Julian was furious when he thought of what Maisie had just said on the phone, "The Hughes Group had paid the McBride family with a price much higher than the market price, yet he asked for two million more. How absurd!"

Julian had given a very high price just to make the old man sign the contract without worry. And now they asked for two million more. The old man's son was more than greedy.

"He kidnapped Suzanne?" Emelia was stunned and puzzled, "His daughter?"

Julian sneered, "Some people can do everything for money. Maisie said that Suzanne's father had been fooling around over the years. Old Mr. McBride cut him off in anger. So, he had been absent during Suzanne's childhood. Suzanne's mother died early. She was brought up by her grandfather. Suzanne's father must have seen on the news that we are going to buy that land to build an industrial park. He sensed the profit, so, he showed up."

The idea of kidnapping one's own daughter in exchange for money was simply crazy to Emelia. She had never heard of such news before.

Coming back to her sense, Emilia hurriedly said, "It must be tricky for Maisie to deal with this matter herself. Yes, you should go there. Hurry up! I'll go prepare your bags."

Julian pulled her back, "But in this case, I won't be able to visit Frances with you."

They had planned to visit Frances Strickland tomorrow, for Emelia's health. Now the plans were all broken.

To be honest, Julian didn't want to be separated from Emilia. He had pretended to be sick and finally was able to stay with her for a couple of days...

Emelia comforted, "I can go there by myself. You need to focus on the matter of the McBride family. It's important. Don't worry about me."

Julian stared at her, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Emelia blurted out, "Or I can go to Grafstin with you."

They could replace another day to visit Frances anyway.

Emelia couldn't bear to see Julian's reluctant face.

"For real?" Julian was soon occupied by rejoicing. "That'll be perfect!"

He kissed Emelia out of joy. "I won't be missing you as hell then."

Emelia blushed. She pushed him away. "I'll go pack up the luggage."

After the luggage was ready, Emelia called Frances and told her that she was going on a business trip with Julian.

Frances had heard of what happened between Julian and Emelia, things like losing memory, unbroken marriage.

At such an age, Frances had gone through a lot.

So, she had been quiet about the relationship between Julian and Emelia. She was glad to see that they still love each other and wished them a good ending.

Before hanging up the phone, Francessaid with prudence, "I've been treating you for a while, maybe you can try and see if it works."

Emelia didn't get it. So, Frances went straight to the point. "I mean, have sex with Julian more. Otherwise, how are we supposed to know if the treatment is working?" Emelia instantly blushed. She clenched her phone without saying a word for quite a few seconds.

She had never thought that Frances would bring up this topic all of a sudden. It was so awkward.

Frances added, "You guys are young and full of desires. Even if the treatment does work as expected, you'll still enjoy the process of testing it. No?"

Emelia's face was burning hot, even her ears.

"Alright! I'll stop teasing you. Just keep my words in mind." Frances laughed and hung up the phone.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
