My ex-husband is in love with me (FULL)

Chapter 102 Just a Start

He could still remember Emelia's red dress, her luscious red lips, and the determined look on her face

that day.

Since then, Julian had developed some strange spite against women clad in showy apparel or heavy

makeup, especially those who wore bright red lipsticks.

He felt like he was almost driven insane by Emelia.

The thing was, he had never seen her wearing makeup that was not light and fresh. In their three years

of relationship, she always looked like a gentle and virtuous housewife.

The only time she was all dressed up in front of him had left him with no good memories.

The divorce paper she threw to him in front of all those people at the party made him lose face and also

traumatized him.

Sensing Julian's glare, Ezra raised his hands and apologized, "Sorry, sorry. I shouldn't have brought it

up."

His words soothed Julian a little.

The three then went on focusing on their dinner gathering. Ezra asked when he found that Julian was

checking his phone constantly, "Are you in a hurry?"

"What do you mean?" Julian returned him a question.

Ezra pointed at Julian's phone and said, "Seeing that you've been checking your phone, I thought you

may have an appointment later."

Julian was speechless.

He couldn't tell them that he was waiting for Emelia's message, could he?

He could tell that the way he reacted earlier tonight definitely made Emelia sense that he got angry, but

why wasn't she checking on him? Not even sending a text message?

He waited and waited. But still, there were no new messages, nothing.

"No." Julian fobbed off Ezra's inquiry.

Ezra exchanged a look with Arthur and said nothing more.

After the gathering ended, Julian drove away first. Ezra went along with Arthur.

Arthur pondered for a while before heaving a long sigh, "It seems that Julian can't accept that Emelia

was totally unmoved by what happened tonight."

Apparently, Arthur and Ezra had long seen through Julian's charade.

Ezra leaned against the car lazily. "Maybe he hasn't realized that Emelia is serious about cutting the

cord with him.

"He still believed that Emelia cares about him none the less."

Arthur shrugged. "When will he realize that then? When Emelia is with some other man?"

Ezra answered helplessly, "Who knows?"

"If he really waits until then, it would be too late," Arthur sighed.

Perhaps when they were together, Emelia's submissive attitude gave Julian an illusion that her world

would always revolve around him.

Hence, Julian still held his head high, not deigning to reality.

Julian patiently waited for Emilia's message for a whole night but got nothing. Only then did he realize

that Emelia probably didn't care if he was angry or not.

She didn't care about him anymore.

Before, she could sense even the slightest mood changes of his. But now, she didn't care anymore.

Meanwhile, Emelia not only didn't care about Julian's feelings but was infuriated by Julian's rude

actions.

Emelia actually took a whole new look at Julian when he offered to help her with the bank statement

and kicked out Oliver and Taylor for her.

But Julian ruined Emelia's good impression on him when he stormed out last night.

As the saying went, "A leopard can't change his spots." Julian could never lose his cockiness.

On Saturday night, Emelia attended the charity dinner with Viggo.

Nina helped her pick out a nice and simple black dress. It was backless but not excessively revealing. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

The skin on Emelia's back was smooth and tender. Nina suggested Emelia show it off a little since she

had such a beautiful back.

Not to attract anyone, just to show how gorgeous she looked.

Emelia adopted Nina's advice. Every woman wanted to look presentable in public, and she is no

exception

Nina had pronounced facial features and an amazing body. Any color would look great on her. She

picked out a gold sequined dress and looked stunning in it.

Emelia said that Nina's beauty would easily eclipse all the female celebrities in the industry.

Since Nina's hot new series just came out, she attended the event with Harry Zink, her costar in the

show.

This was how it worked in the entertainment circle. Costars would be forced to attend events together

to spread some rumors about them to attract more audiences.

Actually, Nina hated this marketing pitch. However, she eventually gave in to reality.

Unless one of the costars was already married, they would have to attend events together, do live

streams together, and sit for magazine shoots together.

Since Nina and Harry were both single, their agencies just forced them together.

Thinking about meeting Harry again gave Emelia a headache. She felt bad about dragging Harry

through the mess and letting him beat someone up.

When she was trolled all over the Internet, it was Harry who called her, saying that he would publicly

speak up for her.

Emelia had a hard time talking him out of doing so.

At least then, she was just being cursed by his fans. If Harry spoke up for her on social media, his

crazy fans would grow even more rampant and would probably eat her alive.

"There is no need to avoid him. Just sit back and enjoy the admiration from Harry." Nina smiled.

Emelia felt a little helpless. Nina added, "I think it's just a start."

Emelia was confused, "What start?"

Nina had one arm around Emelia's shoulders, looking at the reflection of Emelia in the mirror. She

looked so pretty in that black dress.

Nina replied, "It's just a start of men making moves on you. There will be more coming your way. Just

take it easy."

"Have you forgotten about how popular you were back in school years?" Nina placed her chin on

Emelia's shoulder, reminiscing. "Countless guys swooned on you back in high school. Not to mention

the college years," Nina sighed.

"But you got Julian on your mind back then. Otherwise, you could have found a guy who loves you and

cherishes you.

"Every time I think about the way Julian treats you, I feel sorry for you. You deserve better."

Emelia had a beautiful look and a gentle temperament. She was the crush of many guys back when

they were in school.

As if that was not enough, her talent was also one of the factors that made guys fall for her. Her articles

were printed in the school newspaper and broadcast through the radio station on campus.

Nina and Emelia were the famous beauty duo on campus.

In the eye of Nina and many of Emelia's suitors, Emelia was a precious gem.

However, Julian treated Emelia like she was some valueless garbage. The more Nina thought of that,

the more she disliked Julian.

Nina's words also brought Emelia back to the days when guys would pursue her like crazy.

Emelia was so confident and jubilant back then.

After she married Julian, her confidence was crushed by him.

However, Emelia didn't hate him for that.

She stared at her reflection in the mirror and chuckled, "Nina, you know, there is a saying that goes like

this 'I never regretted falling in love with him. I respect how the stories will end.'"

She paid the price for loving him. Although she couldn't turn the situation around, she had tried her

best. She could go away with a clear conscience.

"Your heart is too big for you." Nina didn't know what to say about Emelia anymore, so she commented

on Julian. "Julian Hughes is so lucky to have you as his ex. I guess he is favored by Lady Luck

somehow."

Emelia giggled, amused by Nina's remark.

There were so many things more interesting than men and romance. Why not just move on with

life?
