Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 499 Jealousy

Walking out of the hospital, Emelia asked Julian to drive her to Vincent's. Emelia didn't want to be left alone at home while Julian was away at work. Thus, she thought she might as well just go to Vincent's place to discuss about the details of the romance comedy she was planning on writing.

Vincent was not only her father, but also her like-minded friend and benignant mentor. He had help her a lot on improving her screenwriting skills.

Now, Vincent was still mourning losing Naomi. Emelia had to be there for him.

When Vincent opened the door, he was in an apron. Seeing that, Emelia asked in astonishment, "Dad, what are you doing?"

He didn't look like he was cooking. There were bits of white flakes and shards sticking to his apron.

Vincent smiled as he answered, "I'm just carving some baubles."

Emelia eyed Julian in shock. "You can carve?"

Vincent invited the two in and led them to the study upstairs. "Yeah. I was a dandy good-for-nothing from a wealthy background, which means I have a lot of time to horse around."

Emelia took him by the arm and argued, "That's not true."

When it came to romantic relationships, Vincent was committed and loyal. That was not dandy at all.

Vincent was the youngest child of the Longerich family. His siblings had carried forward their family business and indulged him in every way. They supported his love for literature and other hobbies by providing him a carefree learning atmosphere. He probably had a chance to learn carving systematically back then.

The three arrived at the study. On the desk, there were a few jade stones and a whole set of carving tools laying in the center. Vincent was carving a white jade stone into a flower.

"Jade carving?" Emelia was stunned.

"Yeah, I thought I can make use of all this spare time and carve something for my two little grandkids," Vincent explained.

"The jade..." Julian could tell from the diaphaneity that these were no ordinary jade stones. Before he could continue, Vincent shot him a look that shut him up.

Apparently, Vincent didn't want Emelia to know the value of these jade stones, or else she would feel pressured.

Although Julian didn't get to finish the sentence, Emelia could sense that these jade stones were very expensive.

Vincent would never give his grandkids cheap stuff.

The jade stones must be the best of best.

Emelia said helplessly, "Isn't it a little too early? We don't know the gender yet."

Vincent grabbed the white jade stone he was working on. "I'm making one for the girl and one for the boy. In this way, even if you have twin brothers or twin sisters, I only need to carve another one. You can save the extra one for another time."

"There won't be another time. This is enough," Julian said.

Emelia had been experiencing morning sickness these days. Although the symptoms were relatively mild, Julian still didn't want her to go through this again.

He had braced himself for not having babies. Now that Emelia was finally pregnant, he was beyond happy.

Julian pictured his family of four would live in peace and happiness in the future. Pregnancy was tough. Julian didn't want Emelia to suffer again.

Recently, he even thought about getting a vasectomy after the wedding.

After Julian said that he didn't want any more children, Vincent glanced at him and didn't say anything. Emelia also stayed quiet and respected Julian's decision.

Julian left for work after staying there for a few more moments, and Emelia stayed with Vincent.

The morning passed quickly as Emelia told Vincent about the plot of her romance comedy while watching him carve. Emelia was planning on making lunch. However, Vincent insisted that he cook because he didn't want her to tire herself. They ended up making lunch together.

For the next few days, Julian would drove Emelia to Vincent's in the morning and pick her up when he got off work.

Sometimes, the three would have dinner together at Vincent's place. In the days they didn't, Julian and Emelia would go home to eat. Emelia brought her laptop to Vincent's every day. When Vincent needed to focus on his carving, Emelia would sit in the sunny living room to work on her fiction. The father and daughter time was blessedly warm.

Julian was kind of jealous because Emelia had been spending so much time with Vincent every day. One day, Julian asked Emelia when they were both in bed, "You've been with Vincent all day long. Don't you miss me at all?"

"We've got all the time to ourselves when you are off work. Isn't your question... Too much?" Emelia thought that they still see each other every day, so there was really nothing to miss about him. "Too much?" Julian snorted, "In the company, I can't wait to get off work and go home to see you."

Emelia couldn't believe that Julian was being jealous of his own father-in-law. However, she coaxed, "I miss you, too. I think about you when I'm not writing."

Julian continued, "Specify."

Emelia retracted her hand that she wrapped around his waist. "Aren't you asking too much?"

"See, you can't even think of anything. You must be lying. You don't miss me at all." Julian was really not letting this go.

"Okay. I wonder what you are doing all day, if you have come across any trouble at work, and have you kept regular mealtimes," Emelia said.

Hearing that, Julian's lips curled into a smile. "If you worry about me that much, why don't you come with me? My office is big enough. When I work, you can work on your writing. We can enjoy each other's company in this way."

Emelia asked, "What about my dad?"

Julian was momentarily speechless.

Yeah, what about Vincent?

Emelia explained, "We invited him to Riverside City so that we can accompany him a little more and help him walk out of the shadow."

Julian stared at Emelia for a moment and compromised. "Fine. Just go to your dad's place during the day."

Vincent needed people's company right now. Julian couldn't make Emelia stay with him.

Life was really full of surprises. He thought he and Emelia would be together all the time. Who knows, she has to accompany Vincent in daytime. By the time the children were born, the two were going to take away most of her energy.

In the end, Emelia wouldn't have any spare attention for him.00000000
