Chapter 241 Desperate Pain
The banquet was extremely grand, so almost all the young talents in the Capital were gathered here.
Emelia could naturally tell that her father wanted to introduce men to her, but she didn’t say anything.
She didn’t want to have blind dates for the time being and didn’t want to fall in love, but she didn’t want to refuse his good intentions and make him unhappy.
For this biological father, not only was him unconditionally spoiling her, but she also wanted to unconditionally spoil him.
She thought, “Anyway, I don’t stay in the Capital all the time. I’ll let him arrange everything. No matter which young man, I’ll go back to Riverside City in a few days, and I won’t have any contact with him anymore.”
On the morning of the next day, Winston Hopkins asked her out for coffee. Under the expectant eyes of Vincent and Naomi, Emelia went out.
Vincent had introduced Winston Hopkins to Emelia and said that he liked literature very much in the cultural research department. They shared a common language. Emelia went out because of this. Otherwise, she would not have agreed rashly. If the two of them sat face to face and had nothing to talk about, it would be too embarrassing.
At the banquet the night before yesterday, Emelia and Winston had danced together, so they were quite familiar with each other.
Winston was a gentleman. He was 28 years old, about the same age as Emelia.
Winston did not take Emelia to those famous coffee shops. Instead, he took her to a quiet place in the alley. Emelia fell in love with this place at a glance.
She had never felt so much romance and gentleness from Julian. In the three-year marriage, she was the only one who relentlessly offered her tenderness, and he had never given her anything in return.
If Julian had taken her out for a trip, or had some interactions with her, she wouldn’t have given up so decisively.
Winston looked at the joy in Emelia’s eyes and could not help but smile.
She was really easily satisfied and happy.
The two of them sat for the whole morning, and they did have a lot to chat about. The next night, Winston made another appointment with Emelia and went out for dinner.
It was already past ten o’clock in the evening. He didn’t have time to rest, take a shower, change his clothes, and go to find Emelia.
On the way to Vincent’s house, Julian called Emelia several times, but no one answered.
Originally, Julian’s heart was like being fried in a pan of oil. At this moment, he was even more panicked when he couldn’t get in touch with Emelia, so he asked the taxi driver to arrive at Vincent’s house as soon as possible.
After knocking on the door in a hurry, the nanny went back and reported to Vincent, “Mr. Longerich, there is a Mr. Hughes outside the door. He said that he is looking for Miss…”
“Mr. Hughes?” Vincent immediately guessed that it was Julian, but he was very puzzled. “Why is he here?”
After Emelia came to the Capital, Vincent asked about the things of Julian, she said that he was on a business trip to New Zealand.
Vincent thought that Julian wouldn’t follow her to the Capital. He didn’t expect that he would come all the way from New Zealand to pursue Emelia.
Naomi said from the side, “Let him come in and have a seat.”
Naomi felt that Julian had a reputation and status. Although he had divorced with Emelia, they should at least respect him. It was better to call him in first.
“Wait a minute.” Vincent stopped the nanny who was about to go out to open the door. After thinking for a while, he said grumpily, “Tell him that Emelia had a date with Mr. Hopkins and she was not at home. Let him go.”
The nanny took the order and went out. Naomi asked him softly, “Is this really okay?”
Vincent said, “He came to find Emelia. Emelia is not at home. He either left or continued to wait outside the door. We don’t welcome him. Why should we let him in?”
Naomi had no choice but to say, “Alright.”
Naomi could understand why Vincent didn’t like Julian because he had hurt Emelia.
Hearing what the nanny had told him, Julian was in a worse mood. Emelia went on a date with Winston? They were already dating? And she was still out there so late at night?
Julian didn’t believe that Emelia could accept Winston so quickly. She didn’t accept Viggo nor Harry. How come she was spending so much time with Winston?
Could it be that she had fallen in love with Winston at first sight, just like how she had fallen in love with him back then?
Also, what kind of date was it? How could it be so late? The restaurant should be closed.
Julian didn’t leave. Instead, he waited under the eaves of the villa, smoking a cigarette in the autumn wind.
Of course, while waiting, he continued to call Emelia, but she didn’t answer.
After a cigarette was smoked, Emelia still hadn’t come back, and Vincent did not show up at all.
Vincent didn’t invite him in. Julian knew Vincent’s intention. He just expressed his dislike to him in this way.
Julian didn’t insist on going in. The person he was waiting for was Emelia. Waiting in the room was no different from waiting outside.
After finishing the second cigarettes, there was a clap of thunder above Julian’s head, followed by a gust of wind, and a storm seemed to be coming soon.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
After autumn, the temperature difference between morning and evening was large. At this moment, it was midnight. As the cold wind whistled, Julian looked at the time and felt a little cold.
He frowned again and looked at the end of the path not far away. This time, there were finally car lights coming from the distance.
The car stopped at the end of the path. A man and a woman walked along the path. Perhaps it was because of the bad weather, they walked in a hurry.
From afar, Julian could tell that the woman was Emelia. Just as his heart began to beat violently, he saw the two of them clenching hands, and he felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar.
She was holding Winston’s hand?
What did this mean?
Could it be that there was a person in Winston’s family that had a serious illness, so Emelia was holding his hand to comfort him?
Although Julian thought so, he knew in despair that it was impossible.
The only explanation was that Emelia was very likely to agree to be with Winston.
Because of this knowledge, he froze on the spot and could not move, nor could he say a word sadly.
Compared to his despair and pain, when Emelia saw Julian suddenly appear in front of her, she was so frightened that she took a step back. Staring at him in disbelief, she asked, “Julian?”
“Why are you here? Aren’t you in New Zealand?”
As Emelia spoke, she raised her head, only to find his eyes were red. She didn’t know if he was going to cry or if something was wrong. In addition, his entire body wasn’t right either. He had a look of utter grief, as though she had done something to disappoint him.
Driven by this thought, Emelia immediately thought that her hand was still being held by Winston and quickly pulled her hand back.
