Chapter 197 They’re Not Dating, Right?
Julian met Vincent’s annoyed eyes and said with a smile, “Mr. Longerich, I still have to go to work. I’ll go home and wash up first.”
Julian deliberately stressed the words “go home” to emphasize that he really lived next door, which pissed Vincent off again.
Julian strode back home. Emelia hurriedly greeted Vincent, “Uncle Longerich, come in and have a seat first.”
Vincent stormed into Emelia’s house. Emelia poured him a cup of warm water to let him drink and calm down.
After drinking the water, Vincent said to Emelia with great guilt, “I’m sorry. I didn’t expect that I would do such a bad thing out of kindness and send you to his next door.”
“Please don’t say that. It’s not your fault. We are just neighbors. It doesn’t matter.” Emelia knew that Vincent would feel guilty and blame himself. That was why she had talked to Julian before and hoped that he would keep it a secret.
Vincent said with pity, “I just know that you have liked him for so many years. He doesn’t take you seriously at all. You must be suffering, right?”
Emelia shook her head gently. “That’s all in the past. I forgot what it feels like.”
There was a good saying, “there was nothing wrong with the pain that she used to think she couldn’t endure.”
That was how she felt right now. Perhaps she had suffered a lot in that marriage, but now she was relieved from that.
Emelia was relieved, but Vincent was not.
He said firmly to Emelia, “I plan to terminate the contract with him. Don’t work with him anymore. You’d better stay away from him.”
Vincent had mentioned the last time he terminated the contract with Julian. This time, he mentioned it again. Emelia felt his seriousness and determination.
However, she still tried to persuade him, “It’s okay.”
She knew that Vincent didn’t want her to have any relationship with Julian, so that she wouldn’t be bullied by him again, or she wouldn’t be moved by him again.
Emelia said to Vincent seriously, “Because I’m over it already, I don’t have to avoid working with him. If I keep avoiding him, doesn’t that mean that I’m still obsessed with the matter?”
“You are right.” Emelia’s words actually made sense to Vincent.
After thinking for a while, he talked to Emelia seriously, “No matter what, I hope you will be happy.”
“I’m really happy right now.” Emelia smiled and said softly, “I can do what I like and have many good friends. Now that I have families like you and auntie, why would I be unhappy?”
Her words made Vincent sigh with emotion, he felt distressed but also proud for her.
In a family like the Jones family, it was so lucky that his daughter grew into such a beautiful and warm-hearted girl.
Seeing that Vincent’s mood had calmed down, Emelia said, “Why did you suddenly come to Riverside City?”
“Nothing. Just want to see you.” Of course, Vincent would not tell Emelia about how to deal with Oliver and his son. He did not want Emelia to be bothered by them anymore.
Hearing that Vincent said he was here to see her, Emelia felt extremely warm. “Are you going to stay in a hotel? Or…”
Emelia thought that whether she should let Vincent live here. Anyway, this villa was very big.
Moreover, this was Vincent’s house, so it was understandable that Vincent lived here.
But Vincent refused her proposal. “No, it’s better for me to live in a hotel, so that it won’t be a gossip.”
Although Vincent missed Emelia very much, he was not in a hurry to get along with his daughter Emelia right now, even if he already had the result of the paternity test.
The last time Emelia had gone to the hotel he had arranged in the Capital, he had successfully obtained Emelia’s hair and sent it to have the paternity test immediately.
The result was that Emelia was indeed his biological daughter.
He was so excited, crying, and laughing with the result in his hand. His intuition was right. The blood connection was wonderful, otherwise he would not have liked Emelia so much for no reason.
Vincent added, “By the way, there is a banquet of the film and television circle tonight. Are you going to attend it?”
Emelia nodded. “Nina told me about this. She wants me to accompany her.”
Nina was going to attend the meeting with Harry, but in order to avoid being questioned by the reporters about the rumors between the two of them, they had decided to attend the meeting separately. Thus, Nina asked Emelia to accompany her.
Vincent reminded Emelia, “Remember to wear the set of jewelry given by your grandma.”
If Vincent did not mention it, Emelia would forget about it. After moving to this big house, Emelia first bought a safe to keep the jade jewelry.
Emelia said awkwardly, “I’m just a screenwriter. Isn’t it inappropriate for me to wear such expensive jewelry?”
Vincent knew that Emelia had never been a high-profile person who liked to show off.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
But he still insisted. “Emelia, you don’t have to feel inferior in any occasion in the future. The Longerich family is enough to back you up.”
He was referring that she was one of the real members of the Longerich family. She was not just an adopted daughter.
When the opportunity was right in the future, he would definitely tell her about it in time.
“Okay.” Emelia agreed. She asked Vincent, “By the way, are you also attending the banquet?”
“Yes.” Vincent replied, “They have invited me, but I don’t usually participate in activities in other city. Now that I happen to be in Riverside City, I’ll attend it.”
“That’s great.” Emelia was very happy that Vincent could also attend the dinner party. She was much more confident with Vincent there.
“It’s rare for you to come to Riverside City and have so much free time. Let me take you out for a walk during the day.” Emelia enthusiastically suggested.
“Okay.” Vincent readily agreed. “It’s better if you can take me to the place where you lived when you were a child.”
He wanted to see where Emelia had lived when she was a child. He wanted to know more about her past.
Emelia felt that Vincent’s suggestion was not bad. After packing up, she went out with Vincent. Emelia planned to take Vincent to have breakfast first and go to the urban area where she lived when she was a child.
However, as soon as they went out, they met Julian, who was dressed in a neat suit, ready to go to work.
Julian took the initiative to say, “Mr. Longerich, where are you going? I’ll give you a ride.”
Vincent snorted and said, “There is no free lunch in the world. You must be up to something.”
Julian was speechless
However, what Vincent said seemed to be right. He did have some intention.
He wanted Emelia and her heart.
“I don’t want to disturb your work, Mr. Hughes. Thank you.” Emelia’s attitude could not be politer.
Julian had no choice but to give up.
Because Vincent was present, he couldn’t pester her anymore. Vincent was a ruthless person. He was afraid that Vincent would break his legs.
At this time, Vincent recognized Emelia as his adopted daughter, which made it much more difficult for him to pursue Emelia.
“But they went out so early. What were they going to do?”
Julian felt that it was necessary for him to find someone to follow them. “Don’t tell me that they are fucking dating.”
