Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart

Julian could indeed feel that Emelia had loved him, and when he calmed down after his anger last night, he knew that Emelia was lying.

Like Ezra said, he could feel her feelings for him during those years.

Ezra put away his long legs and came to the table, picking up a spoon and taking a sip of the congee Yvonne had brought.

"Eww!" Ezra took a tissue and spat it out, then unceremoniously commented something like, "Not even the rats would want to eat Ms. Sullivan's food. It's much worse than Emelia's cooking."

Ezra had tried Emelia's cooking before. In those years when Julian was married to Emelia, they would occasionally go to Julian's house, and it was Emelia who personally cooked for and entertained them. Ezra felt that she could even be a food blogger.

No wonder Julian didn't even drink a mouthful of congee, he must have suffered a lot from Yvonne's cooking before.

Ezra continued to cross his long legs and leaned back, then asked Julian, "What exactly do you have in mind now?"

"To get rid of Yvonne and not want to be alone with her, so you have me come early in the morning and pretend to talk to you about work?"

Early in the morning, Ezra was still sleeping when he received a call from Julian, who said on the phone that Yvonne was coming to see him later and asked him to hurry over and pretend to talk about work. A hint of impatience crossed Julian's brow, "I'm annoyed with anyone I see now."

Ezra tsked, "With that attitude, what will you do when you marry Yvonne in the future?"

Julian frowned, "Who said I was going to marry her?"

Ezra spread his hands and said, "Everyone in Riverside City knows you're getting married, don't tell me you don't know, Yvonne sent out circulars all over the place."

Of course Julian knew, but he had never personally said a word about his relationship with Yvonne.

Ezra added, "If you don't want to marry her, then why don't you draw a line in the sand with her?"

Julian said in an unpleasant manner, "You think it's that easy to draw a line?"

Ezra smiled and lamented, "It's also true, if Mr. Sullivan knows that his precious daughter was dumped by you, he would be furious."

Yvonne's family background is very good. Her father, Randolph Sullivan, was the president of a well-known foreign bank and had close business dealings with all major companies.

This was why Julian's mother Heather Duncan favored Yvonne over Emelia. With a family like Yvonne's, the Hughes family would benefit in every way.

What about Emelia? She got nothing.

Her father and brother ran a small construction company, which had been in jeopardy in recent years due to her father and brother's inaction, and after Emelia married into the Hughes family, they helped her father and brother a lot.

The two of them asked for money in various ways, and they were flaunting their connection with the Hughes family out there, so Heather was disgusted about that.

So for the three years that Emelia was married to Julian, Heather was never nice to her.

Julian turned his head to look out of the window, and he said, "I originally thought that it was fine to marry Yvonne. She is quite good in all aspects, and my family is satisfied with her ..." Ezra chimed in, "So how come it's not working now?"

Not being able to resist, Ezra teased him again, "After getting divorced, you found out that you can't live without your ex-wife?"

Julian replied to him with irritation, "Who the hell can't live without her?"

Ezra hastily apologized, "Fine, fine, I was wrong, you can live without her and live well."

"So how come you don't want to marry Yvonne now?" Ezra asked again.

Julian said thoughtfully, "She has changed a lot, or perhaps I can say that I didn't see through her before."

Ezra rubbed his chin, "It's true. While you've been living with Emelia for three years, you've also been separated from Yvonne for three years, so you must be emotionally rusty towards Yvonne."

As a good friend, Ezra still sincerely suggested, "Anyway, whatever decision you make, it's better to do it quick."

Julian pursed his lips and did not speak again.

He also wanted to make it quick, but there was definitely another big battle at Yvonne's family and at his parents.

Yvonne's father could not be offended and his mother was sure to make a scene.

Ezra took out his phone and said, "Since you don't want to drink Ms. Sullivan's congee, I'll ask someone to send something else."

Ezra called the manager of his own restaurant and soon a delicious and nutritious breakfast was delivered.

Ezra accompanied Julian to finish eating, before getting up and preparing to leave.

Julian shouted at him, "Don't tease Maisie again. You are not suitable to her."

Maisie was introverted and she took things seriously. If she really liked Ezra, it would only be her who ended up getting hurt.

Ezra asked lazily, "How do you know I flirted with her?"

Julian said with disgust, "You just came in with a lecherous smile on your face."

Ezra and he had been friends for many years, so how could he not know that bit of Ezra's mind?

The two siblings, Maisie and David, had come to work for him for a few years, and Ezra was used to teasing Maisie whenever he saw her.

Ezra was good at this kind of game, but Maisie was not.

The two siblings, Maisie and David, were loyal to Julian and he regarded them as his sister and brother to some extent, so Julian felt he needed to remind Ezra. Ezra asked, seemingly casually, "How do you know we're not suitable?"

Julian stared at him, "Don't tell me you can't see that. Do you want her to become a second Emelia?"

Emelia's family was at least well-off, but Maisie was literally from a penniless family.

Ezra was in a somewhat unique position in his family, and if he wanted to have a long-term relationship with Maisie, there would be hardships.

Julian added, "Of course, if you just want to have fun with Maisie, I won't agree to it, so you should give it up."

Ezra narrowed his eyes, no one knew if he had really taken Julian's warning to heart.

He then smiled and changed the subject, "Wow, so you did realize all the difficulties that Emelia had gone through in your family."

Julian looked away and did not speak again.

Surely he knew the grievances that Emelia had suffered. His mother had cursed Emelia many times in front of him and given her a lot of hard time.

But at that time, he also held many grudges against Emelia, so he didn't bother to care about her feelings.

Now, when he suddenly remembered those past, Julian felt his senses were infinitely magnified, and the grievances that Emelia had suffered at the beginning came back to him clearly, and he realized how heartless he used to be.

Ezra also turned his head to look out of the window, his eyes hiding endless emotions.

Maisie worked efficiently and soon held a meeting with the relevant people in the Tymers building.

This time, at Emelia's suggestion, Nina was also invited to attend this meeting as one of the candidates for the role of the princess consort.

Nina grabbed Emelia's hand and asked incredulously, "You think I can play the princess consort?"

ī

Nina was a gorgeous actress, and had always been playing those lively and sexy, or alienated and tough characters, and no one had ever thought of her as someone like the princess consort in Emelia's script who is tranquil and stands aloof from worldly fights.
