Chapter 737 Not up to Him
Chapter 737 Not up to Him
Everyone was happy but they all left to let Emelia and the babies get some rest after seeing they were
doing great. Julian has got all things settled. He would take care of Emelia while the kids were being
taken care of by two maids.
Nina stayed to help, and she said lovingly to Emelia instantly after she woke up, "Babe, are you OK?"
Julian took a glance at Nina, keeping himself from speaking ill of her.
He didn't want to get jealous of Nina in front of Emelia when she was that weak. This woman...
Julian didn't know how to describe Nina. Does she think this was appropriate to call Emelia "babe"?
People would think she had a thing for Emelia. Wasn't there a scandal between them on Twitter
before? Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Julian talked to Nina about this plenty of times, but she didn't try to change at all. Emelia also let her be
this way. Julian felt that it was time to talk to Cameron, letting him do the talk.
Julian spoke to Cameron outside the ward when he came to pick Nina up in the evening.
Hearing Julian's words, Cameron said with a shrug, "Mr. Hughes, to be honest, it's not up to me."
Julian was speechless as he thought that Cameron could dominate Nina, but it turned out he was a
henpecked husband.
"Since when am I in charge?" Cameron added, "Will Emelia listen to you when she sets her mind to
something?"
Julian also shrugged his shoulders. Of course, he didn't get to decide for Emelia as he finally got
married to her. He just wanted to spoil her and nothing else.
"Welcome to my world." Cameron smiled.
Cameron was supposed to be jealous because Emelia was just called "babe" by Nina who has never
called him that.
"What were you and Julian whispering about outside?" Nina asked Cameron after sitting in the car with
him.
"You said that like we are gossipers." The word "whispering" made Cameron laugh.
"You don't have to say. I know he must have whined about me." Nina snapped.
Nina has seen through Julian, she groused, "What is he so jealous about? He only allows Emelia to be
his 'babe'? Can't she be my 'babe'?"
"Emelia is also Mr. Longgerich's 'babe'. How come Julian doesn't whine about him?"
Cameron was amused by his tart-tongued wife, and said with a smile while driving, "Actually I should
be the one who gets most jealous. You never call me that."
Nina just complained about Julian getting jealous all the time, and now Cameron did it, too.
"Are you sure you want me to call you 'babe'?" Nina said in a low voice.
She did call him "honey" or "hubby" among others which changed with her mood, but never a "babe".
After all, he was a man, and this nickname would be more suitable for a woman like Emelia.
"Yes," Cameron answered.
Nina rolled her eyes and said, "You are driving. Let's try it at home for safety as long as you can handle
it."
Cameron chuckled.
Jean came to Riverside City to see Emelia after she was sent home from the hospital during which
Jean had been in contact with Arthur. To be exact, it was Arthur who kept contacting her, and she just
replied a few times.
Jean got a text from Arthur after the plane landed the last time she returned from Grafstin, "Don't even
think about getting engaged with other men, I will stop this whatever it takes!"
Jean could sense his rage from the exclamation mark at the end, but she was too busy to think about it.
She was going to attend the Jewelry Exhibition abroad later on which was one of the biggest events in
the jewelry scene. Lorlene Jewelry attended it every year but this was the first time since she took over.
She needed to design more stylish jewelry to make a splash at the exhibition, increasing the
international presence of Lorlene Jewelry, so she was too busy to think about her personal life.
She didn't even have time for the perfect man her parents introduced who she had dinner with a few
times and picked her up once at Riverside City. Jean almost lived in the design department of her
company these days, working long hours.
She just made a quick stop at Riverside City to see Emelia before flying abroad to the exhibition.
Arthur called her many times the night before she decided to come to Riverside City.
Jean knew what he wanted as he texted many times about when she would arrive so that he could pick
her up.
Jean didn't reply for two reasons, one was that she didn't want to, and the other was the unsettled time
since she needed to consider an appropriate flying time going abroad from Riverside City.
Arthur called Jean again and again when she was having dinner with her parents. Her father was telling
her things in business that she needed to be careful about as she wouldn't be back real soon.
Her parents exchanged glances as Jean's phone rang nonstop and said, "Aren't you going to pick
that?"
Her parents had no idea about their daughter and Arthur, only sensing a bit that she might have had a
quite serious relationship which must have been over now.
Not wanting to be bothered by Arthur's constant calls, Jean had no choice but to stand up and pick up.
"Tomorrow at 10." She walked out of the dining room and said in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in
the living room.
"Okay then, I'll pick you up," Arthur said joyfully on the other end of the phone.
"Thank you." Now that she has told him the arrival time, it was okay to let him pick her up.
Jean also knew that Arthur would do it even if she didn't allow it. She might as well let him do as he
wished rather than wasting time on this, she would leave soon anyway.
Seeing that she didn't reject him, Arthur added, "How about a lunch together?"
"Sorry, I will have lunch at Emelia's with her," Jean replied coldly.
This was not an excuse. Emelia invited her sincerely earlier.
Arthur knew that Jean was on good terms with Emelia so it was natural to have lunch together. He
added, "Then how about dinner?"
"I need to fly abroad to the exhibition at 4 p.m.," Jean's voice still sounded frosty.
Arthur fell silent all of a sudden on the other end of the phone. He clearly didn't expect that Jean would
not stay at Riverside City for even one night or she didn't want to meet him at all.
If it weren't for his constant calls, she wouldn't have told him the arrival time or let him pick her up.
