Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 497 Coveted

The moment Julian got out of the shower, he sensed Emelia's bad mood.

He lifted the comforters and wrapped his arms around the woman on the bed. "You are thinking about Maisie, aren't you?"

Julian knew Emelia cared about her friends. Erika's presence must have agitated Emelia.

"Yeah." Emelia leaned in and said, "I don't know if supporting her to keep the baby is the right thing to do. Maybe her life would be much better if she chooses to have an abortion." She sounded frustrated. "Maisie is very independent. Since she has made the decision, she must have thought it through. Don't worry about it." Maisie had been working for Julian for years now, so Julian had some knowledge about her.

Maybe it was because of her upbringing, Maisie was this strong and collected woman. When facing troubles, she was even more composed than David.

Therefore, she must have taken into consideration all the consequences of keeping the baby.

Of course, sometimes Maisie could be impulsive, like the time she chose to be with Ezra no matter how Emelia tried to stop her.

Emelia just leaned against Julian's broad chest and said nothing.

Emelia knew that Maisie would probably never fall in love with another man. So, the baby was like a comfort to her. Emelia could understand her feeling. Back then, when she got divorced with Julian, she also thought that she would never get married again.

Emelia's phone rang. It was Nina.

Emelia picked up the phone, still in Julian's cuddle. Nina congratulated her on getting remarried with Julian, then asked in a whisper, "Is Julian around?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Emelia asked in confusion.

Nina replied, "Go to another room, maybe? I'm about to say something that he can't know about."

Emelia raised her head and glanced at Julian. Julian said to the phone, a little upset, "What is it? Why can't I know about it?"

Nina snorted. "I'm not telling you."

"Just a second." Emelia lifted a corner of the comforter, ready to get out of the bed.

Julian pulled her in. "Stay. I'll go to the study."

Although he didn't like Nina's idea, he still made room because he didn't want Emelia to leave the bedroom. She had been tired all the time after she got pregnant. Naturally, he would let her rest in bed. But he was really curious about what Nina was going to say.

After Julian left the room, Emelia said to Nina, "He just left. What are you going to say?"

Nina giggled. "Aww, he actually left."

Emelia smiled. "Didn't you just told him to leave?"

Nina laughed for some time before calming down. Then, she asked Emelia, "Hey, how is your sex life after you got pregnant?"

Emelia felt a little uncomfortable about answering this question. "Not as frequent as before. Actually, we haven't done it since I got pregnant. We can't do it before the second trimester. We can't take the risk." Then, she asked Nina, "Why did you ask?"

Nina let out a heavy sigh. "Let me just tell you. Some women these days are really shameless!

I just heard some gossip. Gosh, I'm so angry right now. I need to remind you."

Emelia was left confused. "What does that mean?"

Nina responded, indignant, "I heard that Julian is coveted by many women."

"Well, that's no news." Emelia had known that long ago.

Julian was not only rich, but also handsome and charming. This had left many women wanting him. Whether it was during the three years when they were secretly married, after they got divorced, or even now, she had heard those women fantasizing about being with Julian in numerous public occasions.

"No, this is different." Nina said, "Everyone knows you are pregnant now. Those women are really excited about the news because they think that they can take this opportunity to seduce him. You know, no sex life and everything.

They said Julian was in his prime. He had to lay someone to let out his burning desire. He couldn't stop himself even if he wanted to because the urge was in men's instinct." Emelia didn't know how to respond.

She was more speechless than angry. Those vixens were indeed shameless. No wonder Nina was so mad.

Nina added, "So, you haven't had sex with him after you got pregnant?

But I don't think Julian will cheat on you. But you gotta be careful. If he says he is going to attend some events or go on business trips, keep an eye on him.

I know he's not that kind of person. But those women always know how to replace their way to his bed. Just saying."

Nina's words did make sense. Emelia nodded and replied, "Got it, thanks."

"If someone really dares to seduce him, I'll kick her ass for you." Nina gritted her teeth.

She valued Emelia's happiness more than her own. Therefore, if any woman dared to ruin Emelia's happiness, Nina would skin her alive!

"Calm down." Emelia chuckled as she comforted Nina. "You are a star, a public figure. Don't act like a barbarian all the time."

Nina was still a bit mad. "I'll show them what action stars are like."

Emelia was amused. She continued, "Don't worry about me. I'll take care of it."

Nina blustered, "If Julian cheat on you during your pregnancy, I'll..."

"You'll kill him, I know." Emelia finished the sentence.

Nina snorted. "Yeah. You tell him that."

"Okay." Emelia agreed.

"Okay. You pregnant woman. Go to sleep now." Nina giggled as she said her goodbye and hung up.

Emelia sat on the bed and pondered on Nina's words.

It was not easy to maintain a healthy relationship.

She knew Julian wouldn't do that. But what if those women played some dirty tricks?

She thought that since she had gotten back together with Julian and was already pregnant with his child, they could live happily ever after from now on. But trouble just found its way to their door. Emelia was so deep in thought that she didn't even notice when Julian returned to the bedroom.

Seeing Emelia's expression, Julian knew Nina didn't tell her anything good. He took Emelia's phone from her hand and placed it on the end table. Then, he sat down next to her and asked, "What did you talk about?"
