There He Is Again My Ex Husband by Emily Jenkins

Chapter 400

Chapter 400

"Maisie…" Emelia hugged Maisie and burst into tears. She felt so sad for Maisie, especially thinking of what she had gone through alone these days.

Maisie cried too.

She had been forcing herself to hold on. It was hard, exhausting. Great nausea brought by the pregnancy was unbearable.

Maisie felt much better after crying in Emelia's arms. It took away a lot of her negative emotions.

After crying for a while, Emelia asked Maisie with reddened eyes, "Does Julian know about this?"

"No, he doesn't." Maisie shook her head. "Luckily, I'm thin enough. He didn't notice anything last time he came here."

"And I don't want him to know. Can you keep this between us?"

Maisie didn't dare to tell Julian because he and Ezra were friends.

Emelia nodded seriously. "I will keep it a secret, I promise that I'll always be by your side."

Maisie looked at the time and said, "I guess Mr. Hughes is about to finish the talk with Old Mr. McBride, we should get back now."

Emelia stopped her. "The doctor said you should stay in bed and rest. So go home. I'll tell Julian that you are suffering from period pain. He won't doubt."

"Thank you, then." Maisie couldn't care much about Julian now.

The child was important to her. She couldn't lose it.

Emelia watched Maisie get in the taxi and then returned to Old Mr. McBride's ward.

The moment Julian stepped into the ward, the old man tried to get off the bed to apologize. "Mr. Hughes, it's all my fault. I didn't teach my son well. I apologize."

Julian went up and stopped the old man. "Don't say so."

The old man went back to the bed, and complained tearfully, "This bastard had been fooling around since he was young. I thought he would change after getting married. Yet I was wrong. After I cut him off in financial support, he started to take money from loan sharks."

"I was so angry that I cut all the ties with him. Then he disappeared. He never cared about the family. Suzanne's mother passed away long ago. I raised her."

The old man signed. "Suzanne must have colluded with her father."

Julian frowned. "How do you mean?"

The old man signed again. "When she came back from Riverside City, she told me that you treated her badly. She even hid and cried."

"To be honest, I didn't know that you love your ex-wife so deeply. That was why I turned a blind eye when Suzanne were pursuing you."

"She was a good girl, young and pretty, and she'll get a great heritage from me. So, I thought she was not too bad for you. However, …"

The old man waved his hand. "Please forget about it. It's such a shame. Please forgive me."

"I've tried to persuade her to give up on you, yet she didn't listen to a word I said."

"That bastard must have nudged her. Otherwise, why did she steal all the seals and things like that? She was the only person by my side."

"She took away the seal, so I can't sign the contract even if I want to." The old man got angrier as he spoke, even his breath went faster.

Julian's expression hardened, thinking, "How despicable!"

"So," asked Julian, "the kidnapping thing is a trap?"

"It must be." The old man said gloomily. "I'm afraid their real purpose was not the money. They want you to marry Suzanne. If that's done, they'll have much more than two million."

Oliver and Taylor had got a lot of money from Julian during the three years when Emelia was Julian's wife. Everybody saw the bill. Julian was an endless source of fortune.

two million dollars wouldn't last forever, but if Suzanne married Julian, she would forever hhave him as an ATM.

Julian sneered. "Stupid!"

"If I choose to do a pre-marital property notarization, she won't get anything from me nor the Hughes Group."

"And it totally up to my mood if they can get any money from me. If I say no, what will she get even if she married me?"

He wanted to give the money to Oliver and Taylor.

If Julian didn't want to, they wouldn't get a penny.

But now in retrospect, he must have liked Emelia since that time. Otherwise, he wouldn't tolerate Oliver and Taylor. It was all because they were Emelia's father and brother.

Sadly, Julian didn't figure out his feelings at that time, otherwise, he wouldn't have lost Emelia.

Suzanne and her father were foolish to think that they could share Julian's wealth forever if she married him.

Simply stupid.

The old man was stunned for a moment. Then he nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's stupid. People can't force someone to love them."

Julian knew that they couldn't do anything at the moment since Suzanne had stolen the seals.

So, he turned to the old man and asked, "Do you have any clue of where they could be right now?"

"Nope, I don't. Otherwise, I'll go get them." The old man fumed. " Or I'll call the police to catch them. But I have no idea where they are."

"I see." Said Julian. "Take care of yourself. I'll handle this."

"Alright, alright." The old man said in appreciation.

Just when Julian was saying goodbye to the old man, Emelia knocked on the door and got in. Julian felt touched somehow. He went up and grabbed Emelia in his arms.

Emelia greeted The old man in courtesy. The old man seized them up for a second and asked with a smile, "You guys got back together?"

"Yes," said Julian immediately, holding Emelia in his arms.

He looked at Emelia, and said with affection, "I've never thought about other women this life. If she doesn't get back to me, I'll wait. If she comes back, I'll love her with all my might."

The old man smiled and replied, "Yes, I understand. So, cherish each other well."

Julian didn't speak more. He said lightly, "Goodbye then. We've got to go now."

After that, he went out holding Emelia.

The old man laid his gaze on Emelia, seemed to be pondering about something.
