My Ex, Please Love Me Again

“It’s getting late, you should go back.” Faced with Yvonne’s apology, Julian replied without much expression, not saying whether he forgave her or not.

Yvonne had to secretly grit her teeth and turn around to get out of the car.

After leaving the Hughes Group, Emelia took a taxi to Nina’s place. Harry was still at her house when she left, and now she didn’t know if he had left.

Nina came to open the door for her with a mask on and a bottle of alcohol waiting for her.

After Emelia took a shower and changed into the clean pajamas Nina had prepared for her, she sat on the carpet and drank while telling Nina about her encounter tonight.

Nina clapped her hands as she ripped the mask off her face after hearing this, “Damn! It feels sooooo good!”

“Roast that scheming bitch!”

Nina had seen too many incidents of Emelia being secretly bullied by Yvonne, and at this moment, hearing that Yvonne was cursed by Emelia, she felt superior good.

Emelia nodded as she took a sip of her alcohol and said, “It did feel good.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

How hysterical she was when she found out about Julian’s ambiguous relationship with Yvonne, and how hysterical Yvonne must be today.

How desperate and heartbroken she was when Yvonne sneered at her in the beginning, and how desperate and heartbroken Yvonne must be today.

Nina excitedly proposed, “Why don’t you take the opportunity of this show to deliberately get close to Julian, so as to exasperate Yvonne, and then after you’ve tantalized Julian, kick him off to get back at him for not cherishing you in the first place.”

Emelia gaped at her.

She then shook the red alcohol glass in her hand and murmured, “Why bother. They didn’t do anything harmful to me.”

“Julian just doesn’t love me, and he told me he doesn’t love me. It was me that had been obsessed for so many years. I was at fault. I was too naive and foolish to think that sincerity could win true love.”

Emelia’s words made Nina’s eyes turned red. All the pain and heartache that Emelia endured in that relationship was known to Nina. She came over and heartily reached out to hug Emelia.

Instead of feeling sad, Emelia clinked her glass with Nina in relief and said, “So yeah, I’m done with him until our divorce, whether I was naive or demented, it’s over.”

Emelia tilted her head and drained her glass after she finished.

At one time she had been unable to see through the fact and had always resented Julian, but now she did not think that he was at fault.

There was nothing wrong with not loving someone.

The two drank for a while before Nina suddenly asked again, “Why did Julian have you go to him and talk about the script?”

Emelia shook her head, “Who knows.”

Nina snorted, “Did he see that news about Harry? He was afraid that you and Harry would cultivate some kind of relationship by sharing a room at night, so he found an excuse to get you out.”

Emelia pinched her forehead and said, “How is that possible?”

Then she added, “What does he have to fear about me sharing a room with Harry? He should be desperate for me to hurry up and marry someone else now, so that he doesn’t have to be afraid of me pestering him again.”

“He asked me to talk about the script, it was likely he wanted to torture me. He just hates me and can’t see me doing well.” Emelia finally gave a serious analysis of Julian’s mind.

Julian had treated her so badly before that Emelia felt he hated her.

Even if they were not married now and he hated her, so he came up with such tricks to torment her.

Nina was worried for Emelia, “So what are you going to do? You’ve only just started this project.”

Emelia was tired, “Maybe I shouldn’t have taken on this show in the first place, I should have never contacted him at all.”

Viggo called at this hour, asking her what the result of her talk with Julian was.

Emelia told him the truth, “Mr. Johansen, for some reasons tonight, I didn’t get to talk to Mr. Hughes about the script.”

Viggo asked her with concern, “What’s wrong?”

Emelia couldn’t tell Viggo all the fuss between she, Yvonne and Julian. She felt embarrassed about it, for it was like she was really a mistress who were shamelessly trying to separate Yvonne and Julian.

So she could only weigh her words for a moment before saying, “Nothing, it’s just that I think … according to my past history with Mr. Hughes, maybe I shouldn’t take this script, and if you have the right candidate, I can give up the idea of this script.”

Viggo understood what she meant, “You mean you want to quit?”

“Yeah.” Emelia admitted.

Just now she was just feeling tired, but after the idea of a mistress came out of her mind, she just couldn’t bear it and therefore had the idea of quitting.

In any case, the news of Julian and Yvonne’s impending marriage was known all over town, and it was inappropriate for her, the ex-wife, to contact Julian again.

“I know.” Viggo left her with these words after silence, and then hung up the phone.

When Julian received the call from Viggo, he was at Ezra’s bar.

He came here after dropping off Yvonne, and after tossing and turning for the evening, he hadn’t had food, so Ezra asked someone to prepare dinner for him.

Ezra had alcohol sent to his exclusive private room, but it was for himself, and Ezra did not let Julian drink it.

Julian was annoyed as he watched Ezra take the alcohol aside; he came to Ezra’s bar to drink.

Ezra said quietly, “It was not until I saw Emelia that I remember you can’t drink because of your stomach.”

The fact that Julian had a bad stomach was known to Ezra, and Julian rarely drank during the three years of his marriage to Emelia, so he did not have any stomach problems, so much so that they had forgotten that Julian had a bad stomach.

Ezra sincerely apologized, “I’ve asked you to drink a lot over the past year, I’m sorry.”

Julian was already in an irritated mood, and when Ezra suddenly brought up Emelia, who had taken great care of him, he was in an even worse mood.

With all the fuss tonight, Julian instinctively felt that Emelia had been hurt badly.

Viggo’s call came in and he answered it.

Viggo’s tone sounded quite unfriendly, “Mr. Hughes, although I don’t know what happened between you and Emelia tonight, I don’t think this cooperation between us can go on.”

Julian frowned, “What do you mean?”

Viggo added, “If we want to go ahead, either Emelia will quit or you send someone to be in charge of this project.”

Apparently, Julian was disliked.

Julian got angry, “She’s quitting?”

Viggo answered truthfully, “Right.”

Julian couldn’t hold back and threw the phone out.

What made her think she could just quit like that?
