There He Is Again, My Ex-Husband (Julian and Amelia) novel Chapter 40

"Yvonne!"

Yvonne's hand about to land on Emelia's face was caught halfway by Julian.

Julian squeezed Yvonne's wrist hard and roared with fire, "What are you doing!"

Yvonne's eyes instantly turned red as she stared at Julian and said stoically, "Julian, she is so shameless to come to you in the middle of the night to talk about work. What is her intention? Have you forgotten how you were once set up by her?"

For a moment, Emelia was grateful because Julian had helped her block Yvonne's slap, yet Julian's cry of Yvonne brought her back to her senses.

Yes, they were about to get married and they were a family.

Just like the last incident with Caroline, to Emelia, Julian stopping Yvonne did not seem like he was trying to protect her, but rather defending Yvonne.

Yvonne was a popular actress and the future Mrs. Hughes, if she really slapped her in the face, it was not good for Yvonne and the Hughes family if word got out.

Thinking of this she took a step back, hooked her lips and sneered at Yvonne, "Miss Sullivan, you might as well ask Mr. Hughes why I showed up here in the middle of the night to talk about work."

Emelia's face full of mockery caused Julian to press the tip of his tongue hard against the back of his teeth, and he said to Yvonne with a sullen face, "I'm the one who asked her to come."

Incredulity was written all over Yvonne's face. She didn't think Julian was the kind of person who would call a woman to his office in the middle of the night to talk about work.

What was more, that woman was his ex-wife, the one he used to dislike and despise.

Emelia did not care whether Yvonne believed it or not, and said with a calm expression, "Yvonne, when I made the decision to divorce, I never thought I would have any dealings with this man again in my life.

"One should not cross the same river twice; let alone he is such an arrogant and selfish man.

"To be honest, I really don't like Mr. Hughes now, so what he is rich and handsome? He doesn’t have a heart, so he is nothing to me now."

Emelia only wanted to take this opportunity to draw a clear line with Julian, so that Yvonne would stop targeting her.

She just wanted to concentrate on her career and wished those irrelevant men to leave her alone.

Hearing Emelia's words, Julian's face looked grim. She had used every means to climb into his bed, she had said she loved him, she had done so much for him, and now she disliked him?

He was arrogant and selfish?

He had no heart?

Julian felt that his internal organs had been displaced out of anger, and on top of all that anger, he actually had the slight hint of loss and frustration.

Did she... really not miss him at all?

Emelia declared her current posture before looking at Julian, with a courteous smile on her face, "Mr. Hughes, I don't think we can talk about work tonight, I'll leave first."

Emelia finished her speech and then calmly put away her computer and walked away, after a few steps she remembered something and then turned back to give a few words of advice, "By the way, Mr. Hughes, next time if you want to talk about work, please choose the daytime, and also choose a place with many people, so that Ms. Sullivan will not be jealous and ruin her image."

"After all, what Ms. Sullivan once despised the most was a jealous woman, so don't let Ms. Sullivan become the kind of person she despises the most herself."

Only after this was explained did Emelia leave with her bag in her hands.

Jealousy was the word that Yvonne said about her at the time, and now she gave it back to her.
