Chapter 274 Setting Up Another Trap
Julian first sent Nina home, and then returned to the residence with Emelia.
After getting out of the car, Emelia headed home, followed by Julian. Emelia chased him away in disdain. “Go back to your home.”
Julian simply put his arms around her waist and whispered, “Home is where you’re in it.”
Once he got close to her, he would never want to be separated from her again, not even for a second.
Emelia felt goosebumps rise from his words. She really couldn’t stand his words.
But before she could say anything, Julian added, “Since you have told me the password of the house, I can come in at any time.”
What he said did make sense. Emelia was too lazy to argue with him.
After returning home, Emelia went to remove her makeup and change her clothes. When she stood in front of the mirror and took off the ruby necklace, Julian hugged her from behind and kept getting closer to her.
Emelia really couldn’t stand it any longer. She looked at him in the mirror and lectured him. “Julian, don’t you feel tired of getting so close to me all day long?”
The man in the mirror put his chin on her shoulder and said without any embarrassment, “No.”
Emelia sighed hard and said, “You’re a man. Why are you clingier than a woman all day long?”
In a relationship, shouldn’t women be clingier? Why did he want to stay by her side all day long?
Julian asked her seriously, “Is there anyone who says that men can’t be clingy?”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Emelia was a little speechless. Obviously, there was no rule that men could not be clingy, but she was not used to it.
Julian hugged her tightly and complained his friends, “You don’t know Phil. He’s even more clingy to his wife.”
Phil was indeed very obedient to his wife. He and Ezra had laughed at Phil a lot before, and he was even dissatisfied that Phil rarely came out to meet them since he got married. Unexpectedly, he was now like Phil.
“I’m going to take a shower. Let me go.” Emelia protested.
Only then did Julian let go of her, but he stopped her from leaving and took out an exquisite small box from his pocket. After opening it, there was a bright diamond ring inside. The style was generous and simple, but the light of the diamond was dazzling.
“This is for you.” As he spoke, he took out the ring and trying to put it on for Emelia.
Emelia was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her hand. “Why, why do you suddenly give me the ring?”
Moreover, he was going to put the ring on the ring finger of her left hand. It was the finger that for the wedding ring.
Julian explained seriously, “When I saw you receive the green gemstone jewelry from the Longerich family, I also wanted to give you something. So I asked my friend to help me buy this diamond and asked the designer to make a ring.”
He would never admit that he had deliberately put it on her ring finger.
Emelia refused the ring. “I accept your kindness, but rings don’t seem to be suitable for our relationship.”
In her opinion, the first reason that a man gave a woman a ring was to propose, and the second was to get married. Or, a ring would be used as a token of love.
But she was just physically related to Julian now. It was not appropriate for him to give her such a valuable ring.
“Why not? I just want to give you some gifts.” He simply placed the ring on the table next to Emelia, not allowing her to refuse.
He emphasized again, “The green gems and ruby jewelry that your grandma gave you are very valuable. They are not suitable for daily wear. But you can wear this one every day.”
In astonishment, Emelia grabbed the ring and handed it over to him. “Do you think this diamond which is as big as a pigeon egg is suitable for daily wear?”
Emelia did not exaggerate at all.
How could he say such a huge ring was suitable for daily life?
Forget it. She was afraid it’d be too heavy for her to lift her hand.
She stuffed the ring back into Julian’s hand. “I don’t want it. Keep it yourself.”
After saying that, she pushed him away and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Glancing at the diamond ring in her hand, Julian raised his hand and pinched his forehead in distress.
Then he asked in the group of four, “I give her a ring. Why doesn’t she want it?”
Arthur said, “A ring means you obviously have bad intentions. You should give her something else. If you give her the ring, she must think that you want to marry her.”
Ezra said, “It’s wrong if she wants it. Think about it. She hates you now. How could she accept the ring you gave her? And a gift like the ring itself is connotative.”
Julian didn’t deny it. “Because of the ambiguous meaning, I gave it to her. Winston will come in a few days. I want her to wear it.”
He did want to indirectly declare his sovereignty.
Phil replied, “A watched pot never boils.”
Ezra said, “You might as well propose directly.”
Julian replied grumpily, “She even wants to deny the relationship between lovers. Do you think she can agree to my proposal now?”
The three of them were silent for a long time, and then they burst into laugh with great tacit understanding, unceremoniously laughing at the sad Julian.
Ezra said, “Julian, it seems like the only way you can marry Emelia was that you letting Emelia get pregnant.”
Phil said, “Way to go.”
Arthur said, “Way to go.”
Julian’s mood worsened when he heard them rub it in.
After being treated coldly by Julian outside the restaurant, Yvonne was so angry that she cried.
She complained it to Polaris. Polaris suggested, “Didn’t you say that Emelia used a dirty trick shamelessly to have sex with her ex-husband? Perhaps we can belittle her with this matter.”
“We can accuse her of being a hypocritical bitch who clearly did it for her ex-husband’s money, and she even said that she loved her ex-husband.”
Even now, Polaris still didn’t know that Emelia’s ex-husband was Julian. Yvonne had been hiding this secret in her heart and didn’t tell Polaris because she was afraid that Polaris would know that Emelia had Julian’s support and would no longer be willing to deal with Emelia with her.
Polaris only knew that Emelia’s ex-husband was rich and thought that he was just a son of a wealthy family in Riverside City. Polaris had never thought that Emelia had any relationship with Julian, because in her eyes, Emelia was not worthy of Julian.
Yvonne gritted her teeth and said, “I’ve been wanting to expose her for a long time. She’s always pretending to be noble, but in fact, her means are despicable and dirty.”
Polaris nodded. “Then I’ll contact some internet trolls and use this to belittle her.”
“Now everyone knows that she is the daughter of the Longerich’s. If she is exposed to be a bitch who drugged her ex-husband to achieve her goal of having sex with him, I’m afraid that the Longerich family will be shame too.”
“That’s great.” At the thought that Emelia would implicate the Longerich family, Yvonne felt even more relieved.
The Longerich family spoiled Emelia too much, they deserved it! Emelia would disgrace them!
