Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 501 We're One

After hearing Emelia's words, Vincent looked worried. "What's wrong?"

While they were talking, Julian pressed the doorbell at the door.

Emelia opened the door for him. Vincent asked him immediately, "I heard something happened to you. Was it serious?"

Julian was shocked. Looking at Emelia, he asked, "You knew it?"

Emelia held back her laughter and answered, "Nina told me just now."

Then she explained to Vincent briefly what had happened. Vincent didn't know whether to laugh or cry after listening to her. However, standing in Emelia's shoes, Vincent believed Julian had done the correct thing.

Nina was such a gossip, giving Julian a migraine.

He had planned to hide this matter from Emelia to avoid her from being worried.

Emelia whispered to him, "You must haven't eaten anything. Let me cook you some food."

"No, thanks, Emelia." Julian stopped her. "I called the chef at home. She'll cook for me."

Julian didn't have the heart to let Emelia cook for him. As soon as he left the banquet, he called the chef to prepare some food. After picking Emelia up, he could have it.

"All right. You should go home as soon as possible." Vincent didn't ask them to stay.

Emelia replied with a grunt. She picked up her coat and laptop, leaving with Julian.

On the way home, they sat in the backseat while the driver was in front. Emelia whispered, "Julian, you let the woman fall to the lake today. Would the public opinion blame you for being not a gentleman?" "Since those women could do such disgraceful things, they should have the courage to bear the consequences." Julian still felt irritated when talking about that woman who hit on him earlier. He even decided to ban her.

If Nina hadn't informed Emelia, he wouldn't have been so angry. However, he knew those women purposely hit him because they knew Emelia had been pregnant. In Julian's opinion, they were too despicable and shameful, so they deserved to be banned.

He added, "If I help her keep her balance, the paparazzi would tell the public I had an affair with her. I guess those women had arranged some paparazzi nearby, ready to take photos. In that case, I wouldn't be able to clarify my innocence."

Hence, he dodged them without helping them to prove his innocence.

Emelia had a lingering fear when hearing his words.

She couldn't agree more. If Julian had helped the woman, the photos would be posted online, and the folks would blame Julian and her that their marriage was just a nominal one.

Emelia was pregnant. Although she might know the event's truth, those rumors would definitely impact her mood.

Thinking of that, she took Julian's warm, leaned against his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for what you've done for me."

"Don't mention it." Julian faked being unhappy. "We're husband and wife. We're one. What I've done is for ourselves. You'll also do the same.

"You are pregnant with our babies. How can I let you aggrieved?"

"Ehn." Emelia felt sweet in her heart. She pressed on his chest. Julian hugged her tighter. Inwardly, he decided to make that woman pay to alert other women with evil intentions so they wouldn't approach him again.

After they arrived home, the chef had finished cooking. Emelia sat next to Julian when he was eating.

Heather called him. Julian browned when seeing the caller ID.

His intuition told him Heather didn't call for anything good.

As expected, when he picked up, Heather said, "Julian, I heard you were preparing your wedding ceremony now. Have you decided on the date?"

When speaking, she sounded awkward. Her son was preparing for a wedding, but she didn't know it until she was informed by someone else. Heather felt disgraced and annoyed, but she dared not to blow up. Hence, her tone sounded awkward.

Julian ignored her mood. He answered calmly, "Not yet. It depends on Emelia's condition."

He was telling the truth. They were just preparing. Emelia's condition was unstable. If she couldn't stand it, probably, they would cancel the ceremony.

"I see," said Heather. She added, "Here is the thing. If you want to hold the wedding, I can go back to Riverside City to help you. You are too busy, and Emelia is pregnant..."

Julian rejected her suggestion, "No, thanks. I can deal with it."

He knew his mother's character well. Although she wasn't unhappy with Emelia now, no one could get along with her well. If Heather meddled in their wedding, she needed to talk to Emelia frequently. If they had any arguments, Emelia would probably suffer a loss.

Hence, Julian didn't want Heather to get involved. He'd instead stop working than prepare the wedding by himself.

Heather was rendered speechless. After a long while, she said, "But... But you are getting married. I'm your mother. I also need to contact our networks..."

Julian still wanted to refuse, but Emelia shook her head at him.

No matter their relationships with Heather or Gerhard in private, Julian should let his parents' friends attend their wedding. Otherwise, the elders would feel disgraced.

Julian glanced at Emelia and swallowed down his refusal. He said, "I'll take care of the procedure and details of the wedding. If you want to invite any friends, call them ahead. After the date is decided, you can send them the invitation cards."

If Emelia hadn't stopped him, Julian would have told Heather it was a wedding from him to Emelia instead of in the Hughes family's name. That was why he was unwilling to let his parents invite their friends. What Julian responded also refused Heather. However, he had agreed to let her invite her friends, so Heather couldn't complain much. She hung up the phone in disappointment.

Before so many things happened to the Hughes family, Heather would always be invited to attend the weddings of her friends' children, although Gerhard had stayed abroad all year long. However, if she didn't invite her friends to Julian's wedding, she would feel ashamed.

Heather had never expected Julian to be so ruthless. He hadn't told her when he started preparing for the wedding. Heather doubted whether Julian would invite her if she didn't call him. Realizing that, Heather felt irritated but couldn't do anything.

She knew the relationship between her and her son had worsened.
