Julian met Vincent's annoyed eyes and said with a smile, "Mr. Longerich, I still have to go to work. I'll go home and wash up first."
Julian deliberately stressed the words "go home" to emphasize that he really lived next door, which pissed Vincent off again.
Julian strode back home. Emelia hurriedly greeted Vincent, "Uncle Longerich, come in and have a seat first."
Vincent stormed into Emelia's house. Emelia poured him a cup of warm water to let him drink and calm down.
After drinking the water, Vincent said to Emelia with great guilt, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect that I would do such a bad thing out of kindness and send you to his next door."
"Please don't say that. It's not your fault. We are just neighbors. It doesn't matter." Emelia knew that Vincent would feel guilty and blame himself. That was why she had talked to Julian before and hoped that he would keep it a secret.
Vincent said with pity, "I just know that you have liked him for so many years. He doesn't take you seriously at all. You must be suffering, right?"
Emelia shook her head gently. "That's all in the past. I forgot what it feels like."
There was a good saying, "there was nothing wrong with the pain that she used to think she couldn't endure."
That was how she felt right now. Perhaps she had suffered a lot in that marriage, but now she was relieved from that.
Emelia was relieved, but Vincent was not.
He said firmly to Emelia, "I plan to terminate the contract with him. Don't work with him anymore. You'd better stay away from him."
Vincent had mentioned the last time he terminated the contract with Julian. This time, he mentioned it again. Emelia felt his seriousness and determination.
However, she still tried to persuade him, "It's okay."
She knew that Vincent didn't want her to have any relationship with Julian, so that she wouldn't be bullied by him again, or she wouldn't be moved by him again.
Emelia said to Vincent seriously, "Because I'm over it already, I don't have to avoid working with him. If I keep avoiding him, doesn't that mean that I'm still obsessed with the matter?"
"You are right." Emelia's words actually made sense to Vincent.
After thinking for a while, he talked to Emelia seriously, "No matter what, I hope you will be happy."
"I'm really happy right now." Emelia smiled and said softly, "I can do what I like and have many good friends. Now that I have families like you and auntie, why would I be unhappy?"
Her words made Vincent sigh with emotion, he felt distressed but also proud for her.
In a family like the Jones family, it was so lucky that his daughter grew into such a beautiful and warm-hearted girl.
Seeing that Vincent's mood had calmed down, Emelia said, "Why did you suddenly come to Riverside City?"
"Nothing. Just want to see you." Of course, Vincent would not tell Emelia about how to deal with Oliver and his son. He did not want Emelia to be bothered by them anymore.
Hearing that Vincent said he was here to see her, Emelia felt extremely warm. "Are you going to stay in a hotel? Or..."
Emelia thought that whether she should let Vincent live here. Anyway, this villa was very big.
Moreover, this was Vincent's house, so it was understandable that Vincent lived here.
But Vincent refused her proposal. "No, it's better for me to live in a hotel, so that it won't be a gossip."
Although Vincent missed Emelia very much, he was not in a hurry to get along with his daughter Emelia right now, even if he already had the result of the paternity test.
The last time Emelia had gone to the hotel he had arranged in the Capital, he had successfully obtained Emelia's hair and sent it to have the paternity test immediately.
The result was that Emelia was indeed his biological daughter.
