Chapter 410 A Slip of Tongue
Emelia's whole face turned red as she saw the new contact name.
Grabbing her phone from his hand, she exclaimed, "If you keep being nonsense like this, I will, I will…"
The thought of calling Julian honey caused her face to burn with shyness. Even in those years when
she was passionately in love with him, she had never called him honey or changed his contact name
into other affected pet names because at that time she knew he didn't like her, and calling him honey
would render her more annoying to him and besides, she was not the mushy type of girl.
Julian stared at her and asked coldly, "You will what?"
"I will divorce you!" Pressed hard, Emelia answered fiercely.
"No! I will break up with you, since we have already divorced!" Emelia doubted that Julian hadn't lost
his memories at all and that he was lying to her using her love and sympathy for him.
Upon Emelia's words, Julian's face darkened. He glared at her with compressed lips and she thought
he was going to say something but, in the end, he only turned his head away abruptly to face the car
window and didn't say a word.
The car fell into dead silence and there was a cold expression on Julian's handsome face.
He was angry. Emelia could tell that from his face but she didn't know why. So, she tilted her face and
asked tentatively, "Are you… are you mad?"
Julian turned his head even more away from her and ignored her on purpose.
Emelia guessed, "Are you mad because I said I would break up with you?" How could he be angry for
such trifles? Emelia thought. He had not been angry last time even if she had intended to end the
relationship with him and had said harsh words to him.
Still facing the window, Julian said, "I never see a couple who are talking about breaking up all the
time."
Emelia was rendered speechless. When did she talk about that all the time? He must be exaggerating.
Emelia still thought she did nothing wrong and her innocent look filled Julian with anger. Feeling
wronged, Julian couldn't help accusing her, "It was you who demanded a divorce years ago, and it was
you who tried to end the relationship not long ago, and now when we have the slightest squabble you
are threatening me with breaking up. Emelia, have you ever thought about my feelings when you treat
me cruelly like this again and again? Do you think I'll never be hurt?"
Julian's grievances in all those years finally exploded. From the very beginning until now, she had NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
never cared about his feelings. He hadn't thought of divorce then, but the divorce paper sent by her
made him lose face and rendered him without a choice— he was forced to divorce her. By the time she
asked him to come to the civil affairs bureau to file the divorce, he refused by pretending to be on a
business trip. When she insisted on ending the relationship not long ago, he was abandoned by her
again without a reason. Now her talking of breaking up so easily became his last straw. Did she ever
care about him all this time?
But keenly, Emelia spotted something fishy in his words and questioned him, "Julian, it seems that you
remember what had happed all these years. You haven't lost your memories at all, have you?"
Compressing his lips, Julian thought remorsefully, God damn it. What a slip of tongue!
This time, it was Emelia who became angry and turned away from Julian to look at the car window. She
should've noticed it. How could people suffer from memory loss so easily in reality? It turned out to be a
lie! It was Julian who colluded with Arthur and his other friends to deceive her using her love and care
for him. Believing in his lie, she had lost her heart and her virginity to him, only because she loved him
with all her heart. Thinking of these, Emelia felt deeply wronged and was nearly driven to tears.
Seeing his passengers having such a fierce quarrel, the driver dared not make any noises but tried to
focus on driving as much as possible. Weren't they talking and laughing earlier? Why did they start
quarreling suddenly?
Emelia had thought that if Julian was really mad at what she said about breaking up, she would
apologize to him and soothe him. But since he had lied to her first, there was no need to apologize.
Julian, who had been at an advantage with his self-righteousness, could not offer any justifications for
what he had done. He tried to hold her into his arms and comforted her cautiously, "Dear, I am sorry. I
just don't want to lose you."
Breaking loose from his embrace, Emelia moved towards the other side of the car and said coldly, "I
don't want to talk to you." She then told the driver to put her down at her own house rather than where
she and Julian lived after their marriage.
Julian didn't stop her from doing so. After all, he was the one who lied to her.
All the way home, Emelia gave him the cold shoulder and upon arrival, she walked into the house
without giving him a look even if he helped her with her luggage.
Julian could do nothing but stared after her helplessly and wasn't snapped back until the driver asked,
"Mr. Hughes? Shall we head back to the company?"
"Yeah, you do that," Julian turned his gaze and got back into the car, "It seems further explanation will
do no good now." So, the driver got the car started and drove Julian to the company.
Hearing the car leaving and making sure Julian didn't come after her, Emelia breathed a sigh of relief.
She had been beside herself and she really needed to calm down. How could he be so ridiculous as to
deceive her by pretending to lose his memories? But deep in her heart, she knew whatever he did was
because he didn't want to lose her, which did touch her despite all her anger.
As for Julian, he went back to the Hughes Group to work, with a bad temper.
Coming out of Julian's office room, David texted her sister, Maisie, "What happened to Julian? Did he
have a quarrel with Emelia?"
"Why. No. They seemed to me a loving couple." Maisie texted back.
David continued, "But Julian didn't look well. There must be something wrong between him and
Emelia."
Maisie was bewildered, "Well, I don't know then. They were quite lovey-dovey as far as I saw these
days."
Getting no answers, David put his phone away and thought worriedly. God knew when could their boss
win back Emelia's heart and have a happy family? If that came true, the lives of employees in the entire
Hugues Group would certainly become a lot easier.
While Julian was still vexed in his office, he received a call from Ezra. He picked it up and said
unfriendly, "What's wrong with you?"
Ezra was stunned, "What? What's wrong with you?"
Julian answered him with a snort. Though knowing he was pissed off, Ezra tried to be thick-skinned
and asked, "Julian…could you tell me how is she doing?"
"Who are you talking about?" Knowing Ezra was referring to Maisie, Julian picked on him deliberately
for Ezra was the one who came to him when he was irritated.
