Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 412 Gown and Necktie

Though Julian and Emelia had a quarrel earlier, they were reconciled after dinner.

When it was time for bed, Julian insisted on staying here for a night, taking the workshop as an excuse. Since they were not going to see each other for half a month, they had to cherish every minute now. Switching off the light, Julian mounted on her while Emelia pushed him gently and reminded him, "Don't leave any marks on my neck, I have to attend the launch event of 'Princess Leilania' tomorrow." "Princess Leilania" had been highly expected since the shooting started, and the clips of the show released earlier further arouse audiences' anticipations. Therefore, the producer decided to hold a launch conference as an advertising campaign. As the screenwriter, Emelia was invited to the conference.

Though it was cold, there would be central heating in the conference room, so attendees would undoubtedly dress lightly and fashionably. Actresses like Nina would wear strapless gowns or backless dresses while as the staff working behind the screen, Emelia didn't need to wear as fashionable as the actresses so a simple dress would suffice.

But if Julian left marks on her neck, she would have to wear turtle neck tops which would seem clumsy and even ridiculous around a bunch of fashionably-dressed actresses.

Waking up in the morning, Emelia found her neck intact, but her legs were aching from tiredness and were nearly trembling when she walked.

While Julian had gotten up earlier and was now coming out of the dressing room wearing a bathrobe after a refreshing shower. When he spotted Emelia, he asked, "Which suit should I wear, Emelia?" As the investor of "Princess Leilania", Julian would also attend the launch conference. But when he woke up this morning to choose the outfit, for the first time he didn't what to wear even after a long search. It wasn't because he didn't how to match clothes. He just wanted Emelia to choose the suit for him and helped him with his necktie and collar, and if possible, a necktie matching her dress would be perfect. Julian was looking at her with expectance, but Emelia just gave him a cool glance and walked away ignoring him. She didn't have the least intention of helping him since last night he didn't stop having her ever when she felt exhausted.

Julian reached out and took her into his arms easily, saying innocently, "I didn't leave any marks on your neck last night, did I?"

Emelia glared at him and said, "How dare you mention it." He did leave her neck intact but worn her out completely. Emelia was about to complain more when she realized he had been wearing a bathrobe and grabbing her into his arms made it loose so she was now being pressed against his naked body literally.

Vexed and shy, Emelia broke away from his hug and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

Watching her going away, Julian wasn't dejected at all and followed her downstairs joyfully. For now, the happiest thing was having Emelia in his arms when he woke up every morning. It didn't matter whether she would sometimes give him the cold shoulders only if she was by his side and besides, he would grab all her attention when he was on her bed.

Having cooked the meal, Emelia was going to make some coffee when Julian stopped her saying, "Just give me some milk, juice, or porridge. No coffee from today on."

Emelia asked confusedly, "Why? What for?"

Julian came near to her and whispered into her ear, "Don't you want to have a baby? I will also quit drinking and smoking, starting from today."

When Julian went to Arthur's house to collect the medicines, he told Arthur that Emelia and he had restored good relations. Then Arthur suggested he quit drinking and smoking and keep a healthy diet and a regular bedtime if they really wanted a baby. If Emelia did conceive, they would certainly be a happy family. Though it was just a kind reminder from Arthur, Julian took it seriously.

Hearing Julian's words, Emelia fell into a short silence, but then she dropped her eyes saying dejectedly, "I think you are too positive about this..."

Though she had undergone some therapies for a few months while living with Frances, Frances couldn't promise the therapies to be truly effective. Did they really need to think about having a baby so soon? Holding her waist tightly, Julian said, "Come on, babe, be positive. What if they work? Besides, it would do no harm to quit smoking and drinking."

Emelia didn't say anything but got themselves two glasses of orange juice instead of coffee. If Julian really wanted to have a child, she would respect his wish.

Deep in her heart, Emelia believed Julian would be a good father who would love his children with all his heart and take good care of them while they grew up, unlike her parents who abandoned her not long after she was born.

The thought of starting a family with Julian filled Emelia's heart with happiness. If possible, she would like to have several kids and she promised she would be a good mother, giving her children all her love. When spring came, they could go for a picnic. While Julian and she sat on the grass watching, their children would run and play freely with smiles on their little faces. What a wonderful future that would be.

But the reality was cruel. Burying the desperate longing and unbearable sorrow deep in her heart, Emelia prayed to God to have mercy on her.

They started to eat breakfast when Julian asked, "What will you dress for the launch conference?"

"My cousin said she would ask her employees to deliver me the gown. She said in WhatsApp it was a dark red velvet dress." Emelia answered. She was sensitive to cold, so her cousin chose a relatively warm velvet dress for her. Her cousin would like to prepare the outfits for her to attend events and she was grateful for the help since her cousin was professional in the fashion industry and following her cousin's suggestions would spare the time of matching clothes herself and the outfits selected by her cousin were always suitable.

"Dark red?" Hearing the answer, Julian frowned. All his ties were dull color to set off his characteristics as a mature businessman and he didn't have any red ties. How could he match her dress then? Emelia thought Julian was surprised about her choice of color, so she explained, "Yes, dark red. I didn't try this color before, but my cousin said the dark red color and the velvet texture would suit me well." "You are always pretty no matter what you wear." To Julian, everything about Emelia seemed perfect. Then Julian picked out his phone and texted the manager of the clothing shop where he usually bought his clothes, telling the manager to deliver him a dark red necktie.

Emelia had no ideas about his little plan. The bell rang when they just finished breakfast, and it was Emelia's dress that arrived. She picked up the dress and went upstairs to change her clothes. When she went out of the changing room with her dress on, she found Julian had changed into a suit with a dark red necktie exactly the color of her dress.

Seeing this, Emelia thought to herself, "So that's his little trick. To match his necktie with my gown."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
