Chapter 408 I Just Want You
Emelia tried to talk with Julian calmly. However, Julian was annoyed when he heard it, saying firmly,
"No!"
Emelia was startled by his angry look. Realizing that he was impulsive, Julian took a deep breath to
calm himself down.
Julian explained with worry in his eyes. "Since you brought up this topic, you must have understood
what you will suffer, right?"
"Of course, I know, but..." Emelia wanted to say that she was not afraid of pain. She was willing to do
whatever it took to have a child.
Julian interrupted. "Anyway, I won't agree!"
On second thoughts, he added, "I would rather never have a child."
Arthur, who was a doctor, had talked to Julian about the IVF.
After Arthur described each step in detail, Julian went all wet with nervousness.
That was too torturing. Haunted by Arthur's words, Julian said to Arthur that he would never take this
approach.
Hence, Julian never mentioned this to Emelia. Now that Emelia talked about it, Julian made it clear up.
Emelia didn't expect Julian to be so repulsive, which was exactly what Maisie said.
Emelia had to comfort him. "Julian, if we want to spend the rest of our life with each other, we must
face this question."
Julian stared at her solemnly and said, "I know. But what I want is you, not a child."
"We can live forever without children."
Julian was so firm that Emelia didn't know what to say for a while.
Julian added, "You are only in your twenties, so I'm willing to wait for you for another ten years. Your
body will recover by then." Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"If not, this will be the fate we have to surrender to."
"Ten years?" Emelia was stunned when she heard what he said.
Ten years later, Julian would be forty years old...
Julian nodded seriously. "If your body recovers, you will still be young enough to have a baby by then."
Most women got pregnant at the age of around 30. More people decided to have a second child at the
age of 35. Thus, in Julian's view, they could have a child ten years later.
Julian pulled Emelia into his arms. "We can enjoy being alone these years. I have wasted the past
three years, so I will cherish it from now on. "
Emelia cuddled in his arms, feeling his steady and powerful heartbeat, and gradually changed her
mind.
Moreover, Julian was so firm, so whatever Emelia did would be in vain if Julian was uncooperative.
Julian and Emelia spent three more days in Grafstin. Emelia was relieved that Maisie was in a stable
condition.
As for Larry, Derek, and Suzanne, the police would give them what they deserved.
To Emelia's surprise, Derek called her and begged on the phone, "Miss Jones, Mr. Hughes always
listens to you. Can you ask him to forgive Suzanne and me?"
"You can do anything to Larry. He deserves it. I'm willing to die if you can spare Suzanne."
"As a girl, she is unable to make a living. If she is put in jail, her reputation will be ruined."
As Larry's accomplices, Derek and Suzanne will not be severely punished. Nonetheless, even a
month's imprisonment could ruin Suzanne for the rest of her life!
Quietly hearing what Derek said, Emelia said indifferently, "Derek, I will not speak up for you."
Derek was shocked. He didn't expect Emelia, who looked like a pushover, to be so assertive.
"We tried to negotiate with you, but you thought nothing of us, and even tried to kidnap and deceive
me. Derek, it is shameless of you to ask for favors." Emelia was unsparing.
She was angered by Derek's brazenness. Derek condoned Suzanne's harassment of Julian. He even
cooperated with Larry as well as Suzanne to drug Emelia and tried to kidnap Emelia.
Emelia thought they were so unscrupulous because she looked like a pushover very much.
Derek was embarrassed by what Emelia said, so he didn't say anything but hung up the phone.
Emelia put the phone into her pocket, only to hear Julian's chuckles.
"To be honest, I was afraid that you would speak for them." Julian looked at Emelia and said, "If you do
that, I will agree without hesitation."
Emelia snorted. "I'm not such a yes-woman with no principles."
Sometimes, she was easy to talk to because she didn't want to nurse unnecessary grudges.
However, once it came to principles and bottom lines, Emelia never compromised.
"You are right." Julian said gloomily, "I always thought you were a fine one to talk to, but only after the
divorce did I realize that you are a determined woman."
Emelia got what Julian implied, so she ignored it, turned around, and began to pack up the luggage.
On the flight, Julian said to Emelia, "When we return, I will handle the work as soon as possible. And
then, let's go to the Capital to visit the Longeriches?"
Emelia was shocked, "Seriously?"
Julian took it for granted. "Yes, since you are a member of the Longerich family, as your husband, I
should visit your family."
Emelia was a little hesitant.
It didn't matter whether Julian was pretending to forget it.
More importantly, Emelia was afraid that the Longerich wouldn't take a good poke at Julian.
Although the Longeriches didn't stop Emelia from staying in Riverside City with Julian, they didn't like
Julian at all.
They never decided to accept Julian as Emelia's husband, so Julian might well be driven out.
"I don't think it is a good time for you to visit them..." Emelia managed to say something to change
Julian's mind.
