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

Chapter 934 Just Love

Maisie calmed down and said, "Steven, I don't think it's a wise decision."

Maisie gave him the advice from her heart. Steven knew nobody and nothing here in Riverside City. It

would take some time to adapt to life here, not to mention establish a new company.

Steven burst into laughter on the phone, "Thanks for your concern. But I think it is an opportunity for

me since China is developing very fast now."

"I don't want to live under my parents' wings all the time, and I would like to prove myself."

Maisie stopped talking. She thought Steven's words made some sense. To a man at his age, he would

like to challenge himself and make a breakthrough.

"And, I am so proficient in Chinese that I can communicate with local Chinese without a problem. So,

no worry," added Steven, confidently.

"Good luck, then," said Maisie.

"Thanks." Steven thanked her and added, "But please do help me if I have some problems in

understanding the policies or some other matters later."

"Sure," said Maisie, without hesitation.

She remembered Steven had helped them a lot when she and David were out of the country at that

time. Of course, she would help him in return now.

Maisie hung up on Steven and arrived at Julian and Emelia's place.

They were ready for dinner and told the cook to add a few more dishes when they knew she was

coming over.

"How's work today?" Emelia asked with concern as soon as Maisie sat down.

"It's great. Indeed, it's easier to be the secretary of Mr. Hughes. I'm really not born for leadership."

Maisie smiled and made a joke of herself.

Emelia laughed, "Gosh, you find it easy to be his secretary? Seriously? You know what, the young man

was crying."

Emelia couldn't help laughing out loud when she remembered how desperate the young man was.

Sometimes, she brought the food and had lunch with Julian in the office. The young man had begged

her a few times, "Mrs. Hughes, could you please talk to Mr. Hughes for me? Can I hand over the paper

a bit later?"

Or he said to her exaggeratedly, "Mrs. Hughes, you just saved my life! Thank God! You made it here in

time, otherwise, I would have been killed by Mr. Hughes."

Obviously, the young man was under great pressure in the position and he wasn't capable of it. But,

Maisie just took it as an easy task.

Julian was talking on the phone beside them and said, "A lame duck!"

He promoted the young man to give him a more promising future, but sadly, he let him down.

But not everyone was as aggressive as Maisie and David. People were different.

Maisie joined them for dinner. After dinner, Julian went to take care of the kids while Maisie and Emelia

were chatting in the living room.

Maisie spared some free time in the day to tell them in the chat group that she had sex with Ezra last

night and she was torn and annoyed at the moment.

"Nice job!" said Nina.

"Fucked and left. Let them know we're not that into them!"

"Did you use a condom?" reminded Jean.

Jean's words had scared Maisie out. They didn't use condoms last night. Both of them were drunk and

neither of them would expect it to happen. And there was no condom at home.

Maisie was in the office and went to get some morning after pills in a drugstore nearby. But she didn't

take any of it. She felt her period was on the way. So, she just put away the pills and found her period

had come before she clocked out.

"What are you thinking now?" asked Emelia.

"My mind is blank. I feel dreadfully bewildered after sleeping with him last night." Maisie sighed deeply.

"How could I..." Maisie was so regretful that she couldn't go on talking.

"You didn't feel disgusted with the sex, right? Your body didn't reject to have intercourse with him, right?

And you literally think you two shouldn't have sex considering your relationship now?" asked Emelia.

She must admit Emelia was a woman of delicate feelings and sensibility. Her words had gotten straight

to the point of the problem.

"Yep..." said Maisie, nodding her head.

If her body rejected him, she wouldn't have let him touch her.

She just thought they were in a fake marriage and they weren't sure of each other, so they shouldn't

have had sex under such circumstances.

"Maisie." Emelia looked at her and said seriously, "Now that you don't feel disgusted to have sex with

him physically, I think you still have feelings for him. In other words, you still love him in your heart."

Maisie was panicked and embarrassed, then she just looked away.

Emelia's words had exposed her real feelings that she had tried so hard to hide inside. Now she didn't

feel much about Ezra not because she didn't love him anymore. It was only because her sense told her

not to love him again.

She couldn't afford to love him.

A voice deep in her heart kept telling Maisie that the love between them wouldn't last.

In other words, she could never have Ezra as her own completely.

Maisie didn't answer clearly but Emelia just saw her through easily. After all, she was once there in

Maisie's situation.

She patted her on the hand and encouraged her, "Why not just follow your heart since you're still in

love with him?"

"You have a decent job and you are capable of work. You won't lose everything even if this marriage

doesn't last long."

"Without love, you still have your brother David and your bosom friends like us. You still have a decent

job to maintain the good life of you and little Ezio."

"So, why are you panicking?"

Maisie stared at Emelia surprisingly.

She didn't expect someone as soft and mild as Emelia could have said those bold words. You know, Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Nina was always the boldest one in talking.

Emelia saw the surprised look on her face and began laughing lightly.

"To be honest, I was thinking like that when I got back with Julian at first."

"Then I felt his real love for me as time passed by and believed he really wanted to spend his life with

me. So, I got rid of the concern and anxieties gradually. I just open my mind to him and live happily

together with him."

"But if you don't give him the chance, you'll never know what exactly he is thinking in mind."

Emelia's encouragement enlightened her in a flash. She was especially inspired by her words that she

wouldn't lose everything though the marriage didn't last.

That was right.

She wasn't the pathetic little girl without love, care or money anymore. She had made great efforts and

got herself everything.

It was no big deal! Just love!

There was no good reason for her to panic!
