Chapter 217 Love at First Sight?
Chapter 217 Love at First Sight?
Since he was ready to go downstairs, Vincent got up and went to the bedroom to change clothes.
Emelia also went to the bathroom to wash her face and check her look. She was only accompanying
Vincent to mourn her mother today, so she didn't put on any makeup.
Fortunately, she carried a few simple things with her in her bag, such as lipstick, foundation and
eyebrow pencil. Just as Emelia was about to simply makeup in front of the mirror, Julian suddenly
pushed open the bathroom door and walked in, which startled Emelia.
He was too rude to knock on the door.
Fortunately, she was just putting on makeup, or she would be awkward.
Emelia stopped her hand from applying lipstick and turned to ask him, "What's the matter?"
Julian lowered his eyes and stared at Emelia's porcelain-like face. He felt as if it was so far.
Emelia used to be shy and panic-stricken in front of him, and she didn't dare to look at him. Now, she
became an elegant and beautiful woman. He wanted to be with her again. But seemly it was not easy,
which made him unhappy.
Julian pursed his lips and didn't say anything. After a while, he suddenly took a step forward, raised his
hands, and held Emelia tightly in his arms. Emelia felt that her waist was too painful.
Emelia struggled. "What are you doing?"
Julian hugged her tightly, not letting her go. He buried himself in her neck and said seriously in her ear,
"Emelia, I'll always stand behind you, protect you and support you forever."
Julian had always thought that he was the strongest backer around Emelia. But now, Vincent came out
of nowhere, and he was her biological father. Julian felt a strong sense of crisis.
He was afraid that Emelia would never need him again.
Emelia felt that these words were quite baffling. It seemed as though she didn't need his so-called
protection and support.
Julian really held her too tightly, and Emelia was worried that Vincent could change his clothes and go
out at any time. When he saw them hugging each other here, what would he say?
Emelia had no choice but to raise her face in his arms and protest, "Let go of me. I need to do my
make up."
Julian obviously said, "You don’t have to."
This time, he said it sincerely.
Emelia’s skin was smooth and flawless, like first-class porcelain.
Together with her refreshing smile and gentle facial features, she appeared to be mild and amiable.
Emelia angrily pushed Julian away. "Julian, that's enough! Stop saying such embarrassing words
again!"
On that day at the banquet, he said that he was not tired of seeing her. Emelia was extremely
embarrassed.
Julian clasped her waist tightly with his hands and stared at Emelia in a low voice, asking, "
Embarrassing? Why?"
Emelia replied, "Didn't you hate me so much before? Now you say I'm good-looking all day long. Aren't
you embarrassed?"
Julian clarified for himself word by word, "I admit that I used to treat you badly, but when did I say that
you didn't look beautiful?"
Emelia opened her mouth, momentarily speechless.
It seemed that Julian had never said that she was not good-looking. He just looked at her coldly.
"Do you think that I can get along with someone at will? If it weren't for your face—" He gritted his
teeth. "If it weren't for your appearance, do you think I would compromise and marry you?"
Emelia was speechless.
Julian admitted that he had compromised because of her beauty. Emelia did not know whether she
should be happy or sad.
Emelia stared at him and snorted with a sneer, "A man obviously likes a beautiful woman."
In the face of her sarcasm, Julian was not angry. Instead, he smiled.
He argued with her seriously, "All of them fell in love at first sight. If you put it nicely, it's love at first
sight. If you don't say it well, it's a reflex."
After that, he asked Emelia, "Aren't you the same? Didn't you say that you fell in love with me at first
sight? What do you like about me?"
Before Emelia could say anything, he came to a conclusion. "Aren't you still fascinated by my
appearance?"
This time, Emelia was really a little embarrassed. She stared at Julian angrily for a long time and could
not speak because what he said seemed to be true.
Whether it was a man or a woman, if they fell in love with someone at first sight, wouldn't they just think
he or she had a good looking?
"Julian Hughes!" At this moment, a roar suddenly came from behind him. "Let her go!"
It was Vincent, who came out of the bedroom after changing his clothes. When he saw that Julian had
actually blocked Emelia in the bathroom and held her in his arms, he immediately roared in anger.
Obviously, Julian couldn't continue to hug her. Unwillingly, he loosened his grip and pushed Emelia out,
shutting the bathroom door behind him.
Outside the door, Vincent raised his hand and pointed at Julian. He gritted his teeth and warned, "Keep
your distance from her like an ex-husband should do."
The implication was that since they had divorced, Julian should stay away from Emelia.
Julian admitted that Vincent was indeed a good writer. The word "ex-husband" was really unpleasant to
hear.
Raising his hand to tidy up his wrinkled clothes, Julian stood up straight and said seriously, "Mr.
Longerich, today I'll officially announce to you that I plan to get Emelia back."
Vincent roared unceremoniously, "In your dreams."
Julian was not angry. He had expected Vincent's attitude. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
If he had a daughter who was unhappy like this in the future, he could directly tear down the man's
house. It was reasonable that Vincent did not do anything to him.
Therefore, Julian's attitude was very sincere. "I know that I have hurt Emelia before, but now I know I
am wrong. Over the past year, I have deeply seen how important she is to me. I can't live without her."
Vincent did not be moved at all. He raised his hand and pointed to the door. "Do you want to leave here
now?"
Julian had no choice but to stop talking. He didn't want to leave now. He would have to face the
reporters with Emelia later.
Emelia, who was doing her makeup in the bathroom, obviously knew what Julian had said to Vincent.
She stared blankly at herself in the mirror with bright eyes and white teeth, feeling inexplicably sad.
After more than a year of divorce, she had gotten the heart of the man she had loved deeply. Was it too
late?
Emelia gently closed her eyes and drove these negative emotions away from her mind. Then she
opened her eyes and continued to focus on filling in her eyebrows.
Right now, these love ties were no longer important to her. What was important was her family and
career.
Emelia made up well and they went downstairs together.
There were indeed a crowd of reporters gathering downstairs of the hotel, waiting for Vincent or Emelia
to show up. This was the most exciting news today, and they had to rush to the front line to guard.
