My Ex, Please Love Me Again

Glancing at Julian’s sad eyes, Emelia comforted him, “It’s all over, isn’t it? The top priority now is to think about how to respond if Randolph discloses the matter.”

“Is it over?” Julian stared at her with bloodshot eyes and said, “No, it’s not.”

“Because of their selfishness, our marriage didn’t last long.”

“If they hadn’t insisted on getting me and Yvonne together, if they hadn’t bullied you in order to drive you away, we wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

Although marriage was between the couple, if there were reliable parents mediating in between, he might have changed his attitude towards Emelia earlier.

However, Gerhard was abroad all year round, and Heather, together with Caroline, was making trouble for Emelia all the time. And he increasingly disliked Emelia due to Heather’s complaints.

Emelia lowered her eyes and said nothing.

She knew Heather and Caroline always complained to Julian about her.

At first, she tried to explain to Julian that she was not like what Heather and Caroline had said. Later, she was tired of explaining.

However, it was all because of her. Randolph wanted to deal with her and Vincent, so she looked up again and said to Julian, “Well, you’d better draw a clear line with me. We cancel all cooperation. It doesn’t matter if they don’t want me to stay in Riverside City. At worst, I can leave and move to the Capital.”

Emelia said these after careful consideration, so her expression and tone were very calm.

First of all, Gerhard and Heather had driven someone to death. Even after so many years, it was still regarded extremely vile. Once it was exposed, it would definitely affect the Hughes Group.

It wasn’t easy for Julian to have the Hughes Group develop to this stage. Perhaps others were all envious of him for his success and achievement, yet she had witnessed him working around the clock during her three-year marriage with him.

Secondly, she was working with Julian on two projects. The filming of ‘Princess Leilania’ had already begun, so Randolph probably could not force the crew to replace her script.

As for Vincent’s new play, it would not affect her at all if Julian terminated the cooperation with her. Vincent certainly would not continue to collaborate with him. At worst, she and Vincent could find another company to invest.

Thirdly, Randolph and Yvonne attempted to drive her out of Riverside City. In fact, it didn’t matter whether she lived in Riverside or not.

If she was helpless like before, she would cried miserably as being driven out of Riverside City. But now, if she was to leave Riverside, she could move to the Capital and live with Vincent. It won’t be any trouble for her at all.

Most likely, she would miss her best friend, Nina, as well as all kinds of delicious snacks in Riverside City.

Therefore, Emelia felt that it would be better if Julian didn’t take the risk to meet head-on Randolph so that the Hughes Group wouldn’t be in turmoil. As President of the Hughes Group, it was his responsibility.

“No way!” As soon as Emelia finished speaking, Julian roared furiously.

After shouting, he glared angrily at Emelia. “Do you want to drive me mad? When do I, Julian, ever need you to sacrifice so much for me?”

Emelia explained in a low voice, “It’s not that I’m sacrificing myself for you. It’s good for me to live in the Capital…”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Have you long planned to move to the Capital?” At the thought that she would live in the Capital from now on and be far away from him, Julian felt even worse.

He gritted his teeth and said word by word, “Don’t even think about it! Even if you move to the Capital, I will follow you.”

Emelia was angered by him. Did he really intend to fasten on her?

Taking a deep breath, she tried her best to persuade him, “Don’t you care about the influence of this matter on the Hughes Group?”

“So what?” Julian snorted angrily. “It won’t go bankrupt. And it doesn’t matter even if it goes bankrupt.”

“Are you crazy?” Emelia was shocked by his impulsive words. She angrily punched Julian on the chest.

His disregarding the future of the Hughes Group made her eyes red with anger.

He was willing to sacrifice everything for her. At that time, everyone would definitely regard her as Helen of Troy, which was not what she preferred.

Julian allowed her to hit him a few times. Suddenly, he grabbed her hands, pressed her against the armrest of the sofa and kissed her hard.

Drinking some wine and irritated by her persuading him to distance himself from her, Julian kissed her without any tenderness.

“You bastard-” It was not easy for Emelia to take a breath and cursed him angrily.

However, in the next second, Julian simply blocked her mouth so that she couldn’t make a sound. Even if she did, it was swallowed up in a moment.

After such a fierce kissing, both breathed wildly. Emelia’s clothes were in a mess.

Julian didn’t let go of Emelia and continued to forcefully press her under his body. With a serious expression in his eyes, he said, “First of all, I won’t compromise with Randolph, let alone draw a clear line between us.”

When he spoke up to this point, there was a hint of anger in his eyes as he asked, “In your eyes, am I incompetent? Am I so incompetent that I need to sacrifice a woman like you to protect my own company?”

Before Emelia could respond, he narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully, “You are willing to sacrifice so much for me. Do you still have me in your heart?”

Emelia didn’t want to say anything more to him. She had already said that she wasn’t sacrificing herself. It wouldn’t be a loss for her to draw a clear line between them. But she could do nothing if he insisted on his own idea.

He was too narcissistic to say that she still had him in her heart.

Perhaps he could tell from her expression that he was thinking too highly of himself, so he stopped talking about it.

Then he said to her, “Randolph was not a threat to me at all.”

“Even without the Hughes Group, I can still live a better life than Randolph. Ezra and I have other companies abroad. They are bigger than the Hughes Group.”

Emelia was indeed quite surprised about this, because she had never heard of it from Julian and Ezra. No wonder he was so confident that he would not compromise with Randolph.

However, it seemed that she had nothing to say, so she answered flatly, “Alright.”

Julian was rather speechless.

He had said a lot, but she just replied with only word?

He had to admit that she was able to drive him mad.

Of course, he was not easygoing.

He immediately pinched her wrist tightly and stared at her, saying, “If Randolph discloses this matter, I will stop all my work and take a leave. This way, I’ll have more time to accompany you.”

In other words, to cling to her closely.

Emelia looked at him in a shock. Please! He was already badgering her all the time when he was these days. If he was getting himself on a vacation, would she still be able to live a peaceful life?

She really hoped he could just work, work, work.
