Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 448 Sorry I Wasn't Around Last Night

Nina knew very well where did that idea come from. It must be for the convenience of her work.

That was why Nina was shocked. She murmured, "Gosh, Julian is really rich!"

"But he is being irrational," Emelia elaborated, "Last night, when I talked about my business trips and all that, he suddenly rushed into a decision that he wanted to build a movie center so that I don't have to be away all the time.

How can I talk him out of it?"

Emelia wasn't really fond of Julian's idea. He was going to build a movie center just to keep her around. What if the news spread out that the movie center was built for her? How would the people think of her? "Why would you want to talk him out of it?" Nina backed Julian up. "It's nice. It will save a lot of time and hassle.

And when it's completed, you can name it 'Julia Movie Center'. Get it? Julian and Emelia." Nina cackled. "Come on..." Emelia was not in the mood for a joke.

"What if the movie center couldn't yield that much profit? What if he loses money?" Emelia was concerned.

"I think you are worrying for nothing. Julian is an experienced businessman. If he knows that it is a money-losing project, he wouldn't have invested in it. I bet the will go through all the evaluations and assessment. If he decided to do it, he must be confident that it can bring him tons of profits," Nina said.

"That does make sense." Emelia was convinced by Nina's words.

She did know that the Hughes Group had flourished under the leadership of Julian. Julian had always made the right decisions.

And building the movie center must be one of them.

"Take it easy, girl." Nina chuckled. "When the movie center is completed, I won't have to fly all the way to other cities to film a movie or something."

"Let's grab a coffee this afternoon. We can go shopping after that and have dinner together," Nina changed the topic.

"Sure," Emelia replied.

When Julian got up, it was already 11 a.m. Emelia was cooking lunch.

After washing up, Julian went downstairs to the kitchen, still a little tired. He hugged Emelia from behind and mumbled, "Sorry."

"Sorry about what? Everyone has to sleep, right?" Emelia thought Julian was apologizing for his sleeping in.

"Sorry, I wasn't around last night. I left you unsatisfied."

Emelia was momentarily speechless.

Couldn't he just say something normal and sweet?

Julian leaned in to kiss her on her lips. "I can make it up to you right now."

Emelia pushed him away. "I'm busy cooking."

Emelia's coy reaction made Julian chuckle. Seeing that, Emelia pushed him out of the kitchen.

All sorts of feelings welled up in Julian's mind. This banter between them was so natural. This was what a couple was supposed to be like.

He didn't know how Emelia put up with that lifeless and basically non-interactive lifestyle in the past, and he didn't know how he allowed that to happen.

Emelia made some of her signature dishes for lunch. When the two ate at the table, Emelia said, "I'll go out shopping with Nina after lunch. She's leaving in a couple of days to shoot a variety show. So we wan to have dinner together."

Hearing that, Julian felt a little left out. "Just you two? What about me?"

"Order takeout? Or you can go out with Ezra and Arthur if you want," Emelia suggested.

Julian shook his head without hesitation. "I'll go with you. We three can have dinner together."

Emelia pinched the bridge of her nose. "It's a girls' date. Don't you think it's a little weird if you come with us?"

"How come?" Julian explained, "Just pretend I'm not there. I'll pay for you and carry your bags."

He added before she could say anything, "Emelia, you'll leave for the Capital in a couple of days. I want to spend more time with you."

Hearing that, she compromised, "Fine."

However, even if Emelia agreed to take Julian with her, Julian was still unbalanced. "Emelia, we have the day to ourselves for the first time in months. And you are going out without me?"

In Julian's opinion, she should stay with him every day until she left for the Capital.

Now, she was going out with Nina thus whole afternoon.

The proud Julian had never thought that he would be jealous of Nina one day.

Emelia sensed that Julian was jealous. She was used to it now. She kept her eyes on the dishes and said calmly, "I just said you can come with us. I'm not going out without you."

Her words almost broke Julian's heart.

She definitely doesn't love me like she used to.

She would pay attention to my subtlest mood change in the past, but now she is so indifferent.

Julian stared at the woman having lunch as if nothing had happened, then took a deep breath and shook the thought out of his mind.

Emelia was in control of this relationship now. There was nothing he could do. He had to know when to stop.

Otherwise, what if she was so annoyed that she dumped him?

He couldn't live without her.

Emelia knew what was Julian thinking about. But she deliberately ignored that. She still loved Julian as much. It was just that she didn't want to spoil him. She couldn't let him get everything he wanted every time he threw a tantrum. She wanted him to know that her life wasn't always about him.

Although she cherished the relationship with Julian, she also needed to spend some quality time with her friends.

She wouldn't try to please Julian at the expense of drifting away from Nina.

The two continued to eat in silence.

Julian broke the ice, "Which cafe are you going to with Nina?"

Emelia went on with Julian's deflection and told him the name of the cafe.

Julian was relieved that she wasn't mad at him for being overly possessive.

He took a mental note to not overdo it next time. He knew now. When she was in a good mood, she would coax him no matter how unreasonable he was being. But if she didn't want to talk to him, she would just leave him to sulk.
