Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 471 I'm Not Ready Yet

Naomi was sick, to make her feel better, Vincent suggested Emelia officially take Julian back.

The Longerich family agreed because they knew that Vincent always put Naomi at the top of his heart, and Julian had been behaving very well recently.

Because everyone was informed in advance, all the members of the Longerich family arrived this time, even those who worked abroad, not to mention those in other cities.

Emelia himself didn't expect it to be so serious tonight. She knew that one of her uncles worked oversee and had never come back except for the time she was accepted as part of the family.

Vincent introduced everyone to Julian. It's no exaggeration to say that almost everyone in the Longerich family and Vincent's generation was successful. In Vincent's own words, he was the most unpromising

one.

As for these young people of Emelia's generation, except Emilia, a screenwriter, and one of her cousins who worked in the fashion industry, everyone else was important figures in either the political or the business circle.

Winston also came to the banquet. Julian was upset to see him.

Vincent explained with a smile, "Before I knew that Emelia is my daughter, I've always treated Winston as my son. You can treat him as Emelia's brother."

Julian smiled, but he was deeply against it from the inside. No one would want an once love rival to be their brother-in-law.

After drinking for a while, Julian went to the bathroom and was stopped by Winston. "Mr. Hughes!"

Julian said quietly, "Brother-in-law, what's up?"

Winston was several years younger than Julian. Since Vincent asked him to treat him as Emelia's brother, it is appropriate for him to call Winston's brother-in-law. Winston lifted his eyebrow and said, "Mr. Hughes, you have been accepted by the Longerich family. Why do you have to be mean to me?"

Julian snorted, "Because you want something that doesn't belong to you."

Winston said helplessly, "I just want you to know that I have given up pursuing Emelia. I'll treat her as my sister in the future. So, don't worry, Mr. Hughes..." Winston wanted to make things clear. Since Julian and Emelia were finally together, they would be family from then on.

Julian glanced at Winston. Seeing the honesty and frankness in Winston's eyes, Julian's anxiety eased a little.

As long as Winston gave up on Emelia, Julian wouldn't mind getting alone with him.

Seeing Julian relieved, Winston smiled and said, "Of course, if you bully her in the future, Mr. Hughes, don't blame me for being rude."

Julian immediately replied in disdain, "Don't worry, you'll never have the chance."

With that, he went to the bathroom.

Julian made his proposal at the end of the banquet. He stood up holding Emelia's hand.

Emelia looked at him in confusion. She had no idea what was going on.

Julian glanced at all the guests present solemnly, clenched Emelia's hand, and said, "Guys, I wish you all to be my witness today."

The room immediately quieted down. Everyone, old and young, looked toward Julian and Emelia.

Julian turned to Emelia. His deep eyes were full of affection.

"What are you..." Emelia was more and more puzzled.

The cousin sitting next to her seemed to understand something for she covered her mouth and snickered.

Emelia was more and more confused. She saw Julian pull open his chair and take a step back. Then he took out an exquisite box from his pocket and knelt on one knee in front of her. Emelia finally understood what Julian was going to do. She instinctively stepped back in a panic.

She was not ready to be proposed at all. It was too sudden.

Julian had already opened the ring box. He stared at Emelia with his black eyes, saying, "Emelia, I thought a lot about the way of proposing."

"But when I was invited here today, I think there is no better way to show my sincerity than to propose to you in front of all your family."

Julian's tone was calm, but his voice was slightly trembling.

"I don't want to mention our past. Now that I have you again, I just want to look forward.

"I hope you can marry me again. For the rest of your life, I will make you the happiest princess in the world."

Finally, Julian piously handed the bright diamond ring in his hand to Emelia and solemnly asked, "Emelia, will you marry me?"

Applause broke out all around them after Julian finished speaking.

All the female members of the Longerich family were moved to tears, including Lady Dorothy and Naomi. But none of them urged Emelia to reply, nor asked her to agree.

They loved Emelia, so they respected her choice,

As for Emelia, his brain had completely shut down.

She stood there blankly, looked down at the handsome man kneeling on the ground, and murmured, "I, I'm not ready yet..."

She meant it. And she was very satisfied with her current situation with Julian.

However, for Julian, this was a rejection.

The Longerich family didn't react much. As Emelia's family, they supported her decision.

Julian couldn't hide his gloom, but he didn't force Emelia. He could see that she was scared, her pretty face was at a loss, so he put away the ring immediately and stood up holding her hand. Emelia's cousin said, "Mr. Hughes, don't you want to try one more time?"

Julian smiled with relief, "No, I am not in a rush."

Then he raised his hand and hugged Emelia, who was still in confusion, and whispered in her ear, "Sorry, I've scared you."

Emelia didn't come back to her sense until she felt Julian's warmth.

She looked up at him with some regret, "I'm sorry..."

"It's okay," Julian said in a warm voice.

Emelia felt complicated now. Seeing Julian's upset eyes, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Julian noticed the change in her mood, so he whispered to her, "Do you want to go out for a walk?" Emelia nodded gratefully. She really needed a place to be quiet at the moment.

Julian spoke politely to the crowd, then wrapped his arm around her shoulder and left the banquet hall.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
