Grandpa Hughes's decisive and domineering speech convinced Vincent.
"I know your concern. I promise you, that little brat won't pick on Emelia, not a tiny bit of it." Grandpa Hughes promised Vincent.
Julian would spoil Emelia like a pearl of his palm.
Vincent pondered for a while before saying, "Mr. Hughes, I spend a lot of effort to get Emelia back. He's my precious daughter. If Julian hurts her again, I will kick your ass even if I have to go bankrupt!"
"Of course," Grandpa Hughes heaved a sigh of relief.
Vincent continued, "I only agree that she stays to take care of Julian, but not to remarry. Keep that in mind."
"Alright, as you wish." As long as Emelia stayed, then their goal was half-achieved. Grandpa Hughes had done his job, and the rest would depend on his grandson.
The old man thought highly of Julian's plan.
In this way, Julian could make up for what he did to Emelia over the years.
Restarting would probably reduce Emelia's anxiety for the past three years.
Emelia didn't know how Grandpa Hughes managed to convince Vincent, but she could stay in Riverside now.
The moment Emelia ended his call with Vincent, the nurse knocked on Arthur's office door.
The nurse came in with a worried look on her face. "Miss Jones, Mr. Hughes is awake. He's looking for you. Please come with me."
Emelia put away his phone and rushed back to Julian's ward. Julian came up to hug her. "You're finally back. I thought you leave me again."
Nina rubbed her cheek. Could he change another way to do his play? This was too much!
Emelia had only left for a while and Julian acted like he lost the entire world.
Nina didn't like the way he acted.
"I just talked to the doctor." Emelia comforted him without bringing up the divorce again.
Grandpa Hughes said to Julian before leaving, "Since Emelia is here, I can go back and get some rest."
Nina said, "Emelia, can I go first?"
Nina gave Julian a warning look, "If he dares to bully you, call me!"
Before Emelia could say anything, Julian said determinedly, "It won't happen."
He pulled Emelia into his arms to show his sincerity.
Emelia was speechless. Did Julian get some kind of octopus disease? He wouldn't let go of her for a second.
Nina rolled her eyes and left. Grandpa Hughes secretly winked at Julian before turning to leave.
When the other people left, Julian happily looked at Emelia and asked, "Are you going to stay here with me forever?"
His eyes couldn't disguise the pleasure that he felt, making Emelia panic.
She avoided Julian's question. Instead, she said seriously, "I have something to tell you."
"You can't do this!" She supported herself with Julian's shoulder and whined.
"You're my wife. Why can't I kiss you?" Julian continued with his plan.
Emelia's face flushed red when Julian said the word 'wife' because he had never called her that before.
Emelia buried her head in Julian's arms in embarrassment, Julian decided that he would conquer Emelia with sweet talk.
He should make a lot of sweet words that he had never done in the past three years.
They hugged each other for a while, and Julian broke the silence, "Please help me get out of the hospital. You can talk to the doctor."
"I don't want to stay here anymore." The hospital was not a good place to make out.
The atmosphere was just right, all he needed was a double bed.
Emelia asked worriedly, "But didn't you just have a headache?"
"I'm just excited. I'm fine." Julian kept making his story.
In fact, he just had a slight rear-ended collision. The paint on the car didn't even rub off, but he took the accident as an excuse to pretend he had lost his memory.
Before Emelia could say anything, he threw his arms around her again. He sounded like he was begging, "The hospital is too depressing. I'm afraid I'll get worse if I stay here any longer."
Emelia couldn't handle this new Julian acted like a spoiled child.
How come he had become so different?
