Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart -
Chapter 502 Sending Away Heather
For Julian's sake, Emelia stopped him from refusing Heather completely. "They are your parents, after all. It'll be indecent if we don't consider their dignity in our wedding." Julian pressed his lips together in silence.
Emelia added gently, "I know you don't want me to interact with your mother because she may anger me."
Julian glanced at her. With a smile, she continued, "You can tell her I won't be in charge of anything because of my pregnancy. If she has any requirements or suggestions, she should talk to you. Then I don't need to speak to her much.
"I'm pregnant now. I don't think she would make trouble. You should know she also looks forward to the babies.
"Hence, you don't need to do anything to be blamed by the public just for avoiding me being angered." With those words, Emelia reached out and gripped his hand gently.
She knew what he had done for her.
Julian gripped her slender fingers and said gently, "I got it."
He also knew what she had done for him.
He felt so lucky to marry such a generous, graceful woman. He knew Emelia accepted Heather and was generous to Heather because of him.
Emelia loved him, so she was unwilling to let Julian be in a dilemma between them, nor would she want him to be blamed for being unfilial to his parents.
However, Heather went to their house with a giant lunch box that afternoon.
Julian hadn't returned from work yet. Emelia received her politely. Heather opened the lunch box, in which was the chicken soup that smelt good. "I made the soup for you, Emelia. You are pregnant, so you need to take more nutrition, let alone you have two babies."
Emelia glanced at the chicken soup and Heather's eager eyes. She said in a low voice, "Thanks, Ms. Duncan.
"But I've been bothered by morning sicknesses recently. I cannot take such nutritious food." If Emelia were an arrogant woman, she would tell Heather that the soup was too greasy for her. Hence, she put it in a euphemistic way.
She didn't lie. Since she would suffer less from the morning sickness after taking some light dishes, Julian told the chef to avoid making greasy food. Chicken or fish soups were not the only nutritious food.
If the food included the necessary elements that Emelia needed, she would be able to eat and get the nutrition.
"You must drink it, for the babies' sake." Heather poured a bowl of soup and pressed it into Emelia's hands as she spoke.
Emelia didn't take it, but Heather aggressively pushed her to press it into her hands.
Julian happened to enter the house after returning from work, so he witnessed Heather aggressively letting Emelia drink the soup.
Julian strode over to take the soup bowl away from Emelia's hands without taking off his suit jacket. Looking down at Heather, he said, "Mom, Emelia will feel uncomfortable when taking such a greasy soup." He had been concerned with Emelia's morning sickness for many days. Finally, he found that Emelia would suffer less by eating light dishes, but Heather forced her to drink the chicken soup.
Julian wouldn't be so angry if Heather didn't aggressively let Emelia drink it. However, Heather didn't care about Emelia's feelings but insisted on letting her drink the soup. Julian knew that was his mother's character. She was too aggressive. If she thought something was correct, the others must listen to her.
Just like before, she insisted that Yvonne suited Julian the best, so Heather wanted to bring her and Julian together.
Since her son blamed her without caring about her dignity, Heather looked embarrassed.
She tried to explain, "I... I just thought the chicken soup is nutritious..."
Julian retorted bluntly, "Emelia doesn't need to drink something that you think is nutritious. It's good for you but might not for the others.
"I bought a book of recipes for pregnant women from Arthur's hospital. I believe the nutritionist's advice should be more professional than yours." Heather was rendered speechless. She couldn't stay anymore.
She stood up and said, with an awkward smile, "I see. The nutritionist's recipes are of course more professional."
She looked at Emelia and said, "Since Julian is back, I won't disturb you guys. Bye for now."
With those words, Heather turned away. Julian was still angry and about to ask her to take the lunchbox away, but Emelia stopped him.
"Forget it. You embarrassed her, and she only wanted to leave here now." Emelia could understand how Heather felt.
Heather was proud. Julian blamed her in Emelia's presence, so Emelia knew she must feel embarrassed. She wouldn't care about the lunchbox.
Julian felt helpless. He asked a maid to take away the soup. Holding Emelia, he said, "If I hadn't come back, would you have drunk the soup?"
"Nah." Emelia shook her head. "Fortunately, you've returned. Otherwise, I might vomit as soon as I open my mouth. That would be more embarrassing."
She finally couldn't breathe appropriately after the chicken soup had been taken away.
Earlier, when Heather pressed the bowl into her hands, Emelia was overwhelmed by the chicken soup. Her stomach was turning. That was why she couldn't speak when Julian was scolding Heather. Emelia was afraid of opening her mouth, fearing she would vomit.
She hadn't expected Heather to force her to drink it after she had refused.
Julian was wordless. He knew Emelia would be bullied as long as being with his mother.
"All right. Let's have dinner," Emelia urged him.
"Don't worry about me. Since I came back, I always managed to retort to your mother when she made trouble. It's an exception today. I was too sickened to speak earlier."
Julian was nudged by her to the bathroom to wash his hands. He didn't say anything more.
Heather left their house, feeling annoyed. She heaved a sigh helplessly.
She knew what Julian's attitude was. No matter what, she wasn't allowed to approach Emelia and their children in the future.
Earlier, she planned to ask Emelia if she could come here often after the children were born. Heather believed that she would be happy to visit her grandchildren as she was always alone.
She wished she could help Emelia take care of them. However, she had to give up, as Julian wouldn't allow it.
She didn't want to force Emelia to drink the soup. She had just been used to being aggressive so she forgot it.....☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
