Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 464 Respect Julian's Decision

Julian and Emelia didn't get up after waking up. Emelia wanted, but Julian stopped her. "It had been a long night last night. Let's sleep in." Julian felt sorry for her. Covering her lower abdomen with his palm, he wanted to warm her up.

Emelia felt warm in her belly and heart.

She nestled in his arms and said with a chuckle, "I've never expected you to sleep in."

Emelia was teasing him, but Julian admitted it. "Ehn. I'm also sleeping in. I want to hold you like this forever without getting up."

With those words, he leaned against her and said, "No wonder the ancient emperors refused to get up early in the morning for their business. I understood why they did so." Emelia giggled, pushing him. Then she asked with concerns, "Do you still have a migraine?"

"I'm fine now." Julian asked in self-mockery, "Do you think I'm too fragile?"

Emelia hurriedly answered, "Not at all. I just feel sorry for you, Julian. You must be hurt by the scenes, so you had PTSD."

She felt highly sorry after knowing why he had suffered from a migraine the previous night.

At midnight, she woke up and studied him carefully to see if he had been bothered by it.

Since he was sleeping soundly with even breath, she was relieved and fell asleep again.

Julian held her tight. Right then, Emelia's phone rang. She checked it and found Heather's ID. Emelia was confused, wondering why she didn't call Julian as they were together. However, she swiped to answer. Heather asked tentatively on the phone, "Morning, Emelia. Are you guys up?"

Emelia glanced at Julian and said, "Yeah, we just got up."

Heather continued, "Well... I made breakfast. Would you like to join me?"

Emelia didn't answer. Julian grabbed her phone from her hand and refused coldly, "No, thanks. We'll have it in the hotel. Then we'll go back."

Heather stiffened on the other end of the line and muttered, "I see..."

Julian was so cold and aggressive that Heather couldn't utter any word to keep them staying. Seeing that she was silent, Julian directly hung up the call.

Emelia approached and asked gently, "Shall we... have lunch with your mother?"

Emelia didn't take the initiative to flatter Heather. She suggested it for Julian's good. Heather was his birth mother, so he shouldn't keep such an awkward relationship with her.

Julian refused, "No."

Emelia asked in a helpless tone, "Didn't you promise to be obedient to me in everything?" Julian was wordless.

Tugging his hand, she said, "I know you are unwilling to be with her. You are afraid she'll give me a hard time as before. I can tell she has changed. It won't happen." Julian cast down his eyes, keeping silent.

In fact, he was indeed worried that Heather would give Emelia a hard time again. However, it wasn't the key reason he had a poor relationship with Heather. He had a knot in his heart because of Caroline's death. He didn't think he could forgive Heather shortly.

Julian looked up at Emelia and said honestly, "I haven't been mentally ready for that. I'll take a rain check, OK?"

"OK." Emelia didn't insist. She respected Julian's decision.

After getting up and tidying up, the two went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. Then they called the driver and the lawyer to return to town.

On the way, Emelia asked Julian to call Heather. "Have you seen Tara White's statement online? Since she has apologized, let the bygones be bygones. Enjoy your retirement."

"I know. Thank you, Julian. Please send my appreciation to Emelia, too. Thank you guys for driving here and helping me deal with this matter last night." Unconcealed disappointment filled Heather's tone. However, she still thanked them sincerely.

"Be careful when driving back," she reminded. Julian hung up his call.

Heather pinched her phone, sitting in her living room. She stared at the blue sea outside the window, her eyes reddening.

For many years, this was the first time she regretted her words and behaviors before when she tried hard to separate Julian from Emelia.

If she had been a kind mother-in-law, would her relationship with her son have been better than the current one? If her daughter, Caroline, had been taken care of by her brother and sister-in-law, she wouldn't have passed away so young, wouldn't she?

Thinking about her latest daughter, who had died miserably, Heather burst into tears.

She regretted it. Indeed.

At Starixo.

In the office, Trevor gazed at the document in his hands, and then he looked up at the lawyer in a suit opposite. After a long while, he uttered a few words, "Does she want to divorce?"

The lawyer nodded and said professionally, "Yes, Mr. Spence. This is the divorce agreement from my client to you. After reading it, please sign your name if you have no questions." Trevor was so angry that he snapped the pen in his hand. He pulled out his phone, turned away, and made a call.

He roared in anger after the call was connected, "What do you mean by doing so?"

His wife said calmly, "You should know what I mean."

Trevor took a deep breath. "You'd rather die than divorce several years ago. Now, you are willing to divorce. Who do you think I am? You can't be so willful!"

His wife seemed to have heard a funny joke. She laughed out loud and said, "Trevor Spence, you should ask yourself that question.

"When you wanted to dump me, you slept with countless women and hurt me repeatedly. You made all people in Riverside City know you tried to dump me at that time.

"Now you want to save our marriage, so you came to my place, wishing I would forgive you because of an apology? You wish."

Trevor was rendered speechless. After a long while, he uttered a few words, "I disagree with the divorce."

"It doesn't matter," his wife said calmly, "Since you disagree with the agreement, my lawyer will help me file a lawsuit and solve it through legal means.

"You can't blame me for not reminding you, Trevor Spence. I've given up everything, and I've written it in the divorce agreement. You only need to pay the alimony to raise our children. Once this is resolved through legal means, I'll gain part of your properties. You cheated on me in our marriage, so probably I could get more than expected."

"Divorce agreement? Are you willing to give up everything?" Trevor had an indescribable feeling.

Probably his wife had made up her mind to divorce him, so she was unwilling to fake being kind to him. She snapped, "Yep. It's written on the disagreement. Are you blind or illiterate?"

They had been married almost twenty years. This was the first time Trevor was scolded. He couldn't react at all.000000000000
