Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 53

It was late by the time the four of them finished their dinner, Emelia stayed here with Nina as before, Maisie called a chauffeur and left, while Viggo went back to his house.

The next morning Nina had to go to the set and Emelia had to go to Julian's place to pick up her things, so Nina gave Emelia a lift.

When Nina's car was almost at Julian's place, Nina's agent Sherlyn Lansdale called her.

Sherlyn sounded like she was on the brink of an emotional broke-down, "Nina, the news that you like women is on the trends."

Nina spat out a mouthful of coffee, "I like women?"

"Yes." Sherlyn asked with a headache, "Were you walking hand in hand with Emelia on your way out?"

Nina was discovered by Sherlyn for her debut and trained by her from the beginning, so she knew Emelia and knew that she was a very good friend of Nina.

Nina told the truth, "Yes, I had drunk too much last night and still have a headache, so I leaned on Emelia to walk out."

Nina finished and then said in annoyance, "Didn't you say that this neighborhood of mine is very private, so where did these paparazzi hide to take the pictures?"

Sherlyn said helplessly, "You are justly popular now, and the paparazzi can do anything."

Emelia understood what had happened, and she was shocked to the point of being speechless.

She had heard Nina spouting off about some unscrupulous media making things up for attention and traffic before, but she never thought it would be this outrageous.

She was just supporting Nina's body to avoid her from falling down and now theywere rumored to be lesbians?

Fortunately, she and Julian were now divorced, otherwise if it was rumored that she loved women, Julian would be cuckolded, which was quite shocking.

It was imaginable that Julian would not only have been hospitalized with a stomach ache, but would have fainted directly.

Nina was furious, pulling at her flaxen wavy hair and asked, "So what am I going to do now?"

Sherlyn said, "What can you do? Clarify it, of course."

Nina growled in exasperation, "Well then, listen carefully: I like men, I like men!"

"The name of the man I like is-" Nina almost blurted out the name of the man she liked in exasperation, but then she thought that the man across the ocean might have given her up long ago, so she slumped back into her seat in discouragement.

Sherlyn was even exasperated by Nina, "What's the use of yelling at me that you like men? It's not like I don't know. The most important thing now is to make even those people believe that you and Emelia are innocent."

Nina had a headache, but now she was even more disturbed.

She simply leaned against Emelia and explained to Sherlyn in a lifeless manner, "I don't care how you deal with it. Anyway, Emelia and I both like men."

Sherlyn responded, "I'll try to release a statement and see what happens then."

Sherlyn added, "By the way, how did you offend Yvonne recently? Because I found out that these slanders could have been made by Yvonne's people."

Nina blew up as soon as she heard Yvonne's name, "Who the hell has offended her, I don't even bother with that kind of bitch."

Emelia instantly understood after hearing Yvonne's name, and she whispered to Nina, "It must be because of me."

The reason Yvonne did that to Nina must because of her grudge against Emelia.

It was also possible that she was deliberately targeted, but Nina was mistakenly involved.

But no matter what, Yvonne's move killed two birds with one stone, damaging both her reputation and putting Nina, who was justly popular, in the limelight.

She was fine, she was just an unknown scriptwriter, and probably only those who know her would recognize the person in the photo as her, but Nina would be in a big trouble.

Nina gritted her teeth and burst out, "Yvonne, that bitch, better not let me catch her, or I'll get her killed."

After Nina ended her call with Sherlyn, Emelia said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's all because I dragged you into this."

Nina naturally didn't like to hear her say that and said indifferently, "You don’t have to apologize, we have a clear conscience."

Nina cursed indignantly again, "Yvonne is sick, isn't she? Isn't she going to marry Julian? Is she going to fail? I'm waiting for the day when her dream of marrying into a rich family is shattered, and I'll be sure to set off fireworks seven days in a row to celebrate for that."

Emelia didn't know what to say to that.

Nina suddenly looked very sad as she leaned over and wrapped her arms around Emelia and said, "If neither of us is married by the time we're forty, let's just spend the rest of our life together."

"Sure." Emelia agreed readily.

After her failed and painful marriage to Julian, Emelia was not looking forward to marriage at all, and she even thought it was not a bad idea to be single for the rest of her life.

Nina was silent for a long time and then murmured gloomily, "He's been abroad for so many years, isn't it time for him to return this year?"

Emelia knew who Nina was referring to when she said "he", so she replied softly, "Yeah."

Nina said again, laughing to herself, "Do you think he will still hate me?"

The man Nina liked named Cameron Dauster, who went to high school with her.

Nina was not good at study, while Cameron was a top student. The two of them had a relationship before.

Later on, Cameron wanted to give up his chance to study abroad for Nina, who chose to break up with him in order to let him pursue his dream.

The two had since become an unspeakable pain in each other's hearts, and Nina was resented and hated by Cameron.

At this moment, Emelia, faced with Nina's question, did not know what to say for a while, and could only sigh gently.

After the car stopped at Julian's place, Emelia got out of the car and Nina then went to the film set.

Emelia stood in front of the intricately carved gate and took a deep breath before entering the code.

When she entered the main house, Emelia was stunned that the arrangement of the house had not been altered in any way, it was still the same as she had set up before the divorce.

Emelia had to admit that Julian's psychological endurance was indeed impressive, and he was not affected in the least by living in such an environment.

Or maybe he didn't care about her at all, and therefore didn't care about anything to do with her.

Emelia's eyes dropped sadly at this thought and she hurried upstairs, finding her two photo albums in the safe in the study before leaving in a hurry.

As she had just reached the entrance, there was a sound from the door and Julian opened it and came in from outside.

He was in a casual black and grey outfit and looked a little thinner.

David followed him, carrying a small luggage bag in his hand, which should be some stuff for Julian's hospitalization.

Emelia stood still for a while because she was too stunned.

Didn't he say he would be in hospital for few days? Why was he back all of a sudden?

David duly explained, "Mr. Hughes discharged from the hospital today."

Emelia then returned to her senses and lowered her eyes, intending to leave, but Julian's tall figure was blocking the doorway, so she had to turn to the side and wait for him to come in first.
