Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 736 Twins

Jean went back to pack her stuff at dawn when most people were asleep including Arthur.

Arthur had no idea she would avoid him like that as he expected her to return in the morning. He always woke up at around seven, and the first thing when he woke up right after his eyes opened was to call Jean for breakfast.

He called but found that her phone was turned off. Arthur suddenly sat bolt upright in bed with bad feelings. He didn't want to believe that Jean would leave early in the morning just to avoid him, but that seemed to be the fact.

Arthur kept calling her while putting clothes on and went out to knock on the next room's door, but there was no answer either way.

Holding back the sadness and despair, he called to check with reception at the hotel and was told that Jean checked out earlier.

Arthur sank into the sofa in his room with mixed feelings.

"You...really don't give me a chance? Not even the slightest one."

When they were having sex yesterday, he murmured in her ear over and over, "I love you, Jean."

She responded well then so that Arthur thought she believed him, but it turned out that she didn't.

Arthur was the golden boy growing up but was truly pathetic when it came to Jean for the first time in his life. Her leaving without saying goodbye that time crushed him, and the avoiding made it even worse. Arthur texted Phil, "Am I really that terrible?"

Emelia was in labor and Julian stayed with her in hospital nervously while Ezra was a mess himself, so Phil was the only one Arthur could talk to.

Phil texted back quickly, "Jean hurt you again?"

Arthur didn't reply.

Phil knew what happened, he called Arthur, "Hey man, you'll get used to it. It's just the beginning. You can also quit if you can't handle it. Of course, there is plenty of fish in the sea. Some girls at my law firm like you, they are all hot..."

Phil was in mid-sentence when Arthur hung up the phone. Apparently, Arthur didn't want to hear anymore and it seemed that he was obsessed with Jean.

Arthur got up and took a shower in the bathroom which made him quite sensible after that.

Now that Jean has left him, there was no need for him to stay in Grafstin, so he checked out and went to the airport.

"Emelia is due to give birth in a few days. Jean will definitely come to Riverside City to see her. I might as well wait for her there."

Although Arthur really wanted to go replace her, he knew where to draw the line. Showing up now would get him rejected again.

At the airport, Arthur met David who was also going to return to Riverside City, but they didn't talk. David clearly didn't want to have anything to do with Arthur concerning Ezra. While waiting in the VIP lounge, Arthur sat beside David, and said carelessly, "Your sister had a son but his last name is not Cantillo. This should be the best revenge for Ezra's father."

"You probably know how much he wants a grandson. He has two daughters with his wife and those illegitimate daughters. Ezra is the only son."

"But Ezra still doesn't get married yet. I'm afraid his father won't be able to live to see his grandson. Even if Ezra gets married now, he might have a baby girl instead."

"Now Ezra's father does have a grandson who will never change his last name to Canillo, besides, he might never know this grandson before he dies. That's total torture and revenge." Arthur said that to make David feel better so that he would no longer hold a grudge against Ezra and his family, but David had mixed feelings instead.

It was the greatest revenge that Ezra's father was never going to take his grandson back until his dying day.

"Letting Ezra's father die with a grievance is just a payback for what he has done to my sister."

David wouldn't tell Arthur these terrifying thoughts and he also wouldn't tell anyone, so he just kept looking at his phone, pressing his lips together without uttering a word. Arthur stopped humiliating himself and sat on the other side.

Ten days after Maisie gave birth, Emelia delivered twins by c-section, an elder sister, and a younger brother. Julian almost cried when he saw Emelia coming out of the operating room. When doctors asked Julian if he would like to support his laboring partner, Emelia refused first before Julian could say something. She was normally gentle and kind but refused vehemently this time. Emelia refused because she didn't want Julian to suffer more pressure.

Julian was nervous and cautious these months. How could she add unnecessary pressure on him by getting him in this whole childbirth thing? They loved each other in their own ways. His love for her was more than enough, so not accompanying labor did not mean that he didn't love her. Julian didn't think he could handle that pressure and Emelia was tough on this, so he waited outside the operating room with Vincent and Nina. Vincent came from the Capital to see Emelia every day since she was in the hospital.

Vincent was too worried about his little girl to eat and sleep well and prayed for her and the twins every day. After all, delivering babies was that a woman putting her life in the jaw of the death. Hearing the news that Emelia and the twins were doing great after surgery, people waiting outside were relieved.

Julian held Emelia's hand and kissed it eagerly, promising to himself that he wouldn't let her suffer this anymore. A son and a daughter would be enough. He was unlike other rich guys who didn't care about women's health and treated their wives as a breeding machine.

Julian could live with it even if there was no baby with Emelia, so it was already the biggest blessing to have a boy and a girl. A family with two kids would be enough from now on.

He would get a vasectomy after Emelia's recovery.

They named their daughter Alana Hughes and their son Alaric Hughes as planned.

"I love you, Emelia. Thank you!" Julian said gently in her ear while holding her hands. She moaned dreamily and then fell into a sleep. Emelia was too weak to respond more. Gerhard and Heather, together with Grandpa Hughes who was not feeling well these days in a wheelchair pushed by his housekeeper, also came.

"A boy and a girl, that's truly a blessing for us!" Grandpa Hughes enjoyed it the most and even he looked better with healthily rosy cheeks.
