Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 386 You Leave When I Arrive?

They returned to Emelia's apartment. Nina said as she knocked back a lot of water to calm herself down, "As I see it, he came for you." "What does he want?" Emelia got perturbed by what Julian had done.

Why was he so stubborn?

Why didn't he give up even after Emelia had humiliated him many times?

Nina shook her head and tutted, "People always think women are deep and hard to read. But why is this happening on Julian?"

After dinner, Emelia and Nina were chatting over wining on the carpet in the living room.

Emelia was just listening to Nina's whining.

Nina turned slightly tipsy after a few rounds, suddenly snapping, "Listen, I've signed up for a dating show."

"What?" Emelia got caught off guard. The wine glass clanged when it dropped to the floor, and she quickly cleaned it up.

Nina giggled while lying on the coffee table, "Honey, where's your calmness?"

Emelia glared at her in a sulk. "How dare you say that? You freaked me out."

"You've stayed single for so many years, and remained scandal zero, because you want to get back with Cameron. But now you're going to a dating show and make out with another man in public?" After cleaning up the mess on the floor, Emelia took the wine from Nina's hand. She didn't want another scary surprise from Nina anymore.

But Nina took the bottle and swigged wine from it, pissing Emelia off.

Nina held the bottle and announced in a drunk voice, "I know what I'm doing. No more waiting since I've made up my mind."

"Guess what? I'm over him now. There are plenty of men out there. Why should I give them up for him?"

"You know it! There are a lot of rich and powerful men wanting me. I can pick any of them to be my boyfriend." Nina said as she swung her arms, and a rogue tear streamed down her face.

Emelia was sad. "You're drunk. You need some rest."

Emelia knew how much Nina had suffered. Nina had gained a foothold in the entertainment industry after all these years' efforts. She had survived the bullies and battled against her rivals when she was just nobody at the beginning.

Nina couldn't let her guard down especially when she had reached this level now.

Many people cast greedy eyes on her, waiting to drag her down from the top once they found her scandals.

Nina really needed someone to take care of her.

But Emelia didn't think Nina should go to some dating show. Her efforts for many years would go to waste then.

Nina still had a chance since Cameron didn't give her an answer, right?

What if Cameron still loved Nina?

Emelia rested after settling Nina on the sofa, but she heard a knock on the door.

She opened the door in confusion. Other than her family and Nina, no one knew about this place. Could it be any of her cousins? She opened the door and saw Julian.

He was in comfy clothes as if he was rushing here from home. Emelia turned numb with surprise as she saw Julian.

He said coldly, "Can you keep your voices down?"

Emelia muttered, "What do you mean?"

Julian continued, "I'm living downstairs, and you guys are disturbing me."

Emelia was shocked. "You live downstairs?"

"What? Should I ask you first?" Julian snorted with resentment, cutting his eyes on Emelia's face.

Emelia avoided his gazes and changed the subject, "But we didn't make any noise."

They were just sitting on the floor, drinking. How did this disturb him?

Julian stared into her eyes and asked, "Nothing hit the floor?" "No stomping?"

Emelia became slightly embarrassed after Julian's reminder.

She did drop the glass on the floor when Nina said she was going to a dating show, and Nina was stomping when she got high.

At the thought of this, Emelia apologized, "Sorry, there won't be another time."

As Emelia's voice fell, Nina weaved drunkenly to the door.

She pointed at Julian's nose and snapped, "Julian, you miss Emelia. You found yourself an excuse to come up here to see her!" Julian was panic-stricken.

He found Nina annoying when she read him like an open book.

Emelia turned embarrassed. She supported Nina while turning to Julian, "Sorry, bye."

Then she closed the door, leaving Julian outside.

"He just misses you!"

The drunken Nina shouted behind the door, and Julian could hear her on the other side.

Actually, Julian was shy and reserved. He couldn't handle it when someone spoke out his thought and then reacted embarrassedly.

The next morning, Nina was still hungover, but she insisted on returning to her house and cleaning.

Someone knocked on the door when Nina left. Emelia was afraid it would be Julian again.

She opened the door and it was Julian again.

Before she could ask anything, Julian strode into her house.

Emelia knew she should trust her feelings!

"Do me a favor," Julian said as he entered.

Emelia was confused. "What's this favor?"

Julian said distractedly, "A woman is coming to my house. I need a place to hide."

Emelia was puzzled. He could have chosen anywhere outside her house to hide. The city is so big! Why does he have to stay here?

Julian seemed to see through her mind, and explained, "She's already downstairs. I have no place to go."

Emelia looked into his eyes to see if he was lying.

But Julian always kept his expression neutral, so people barely replace a clue on his face.

Emelia stopped to ask, "How long are you going to stay? I'll go back to my dad's place after some pack-ups."

Julian got annoyed with her rude behavior and leaned toward her. He stared at her with a pair of dark eyes and asked, "You don't want to stay with me? You have to leave when I just get here?"☐☐☐☐
