"So, you'd better go now and don't come back." Vincent said to finish this talk.
Julian just stayed there with his eyelids lowered. Disappointment was written all over on his eyebrows.
Vincent knew what Julian was feeling right now because he had suffered the same. Then he heaved a sigh of sorrow, "Women are treated unfairly in this society. It is considered guilty for them to be infertile. That's ridiculous."
That's why he would tell the public that it was he who was infertile, not Naomi.
But it didn't make the situation for Naomi much better. Naomi was still found fault with by the public. Though now they had entered their declining years, infertility was still a label on them.
Vincent used to think that if he were given a second chance, he would have get divorced with Naomi to keep her from the gossips.
Julian didn't say anything but put a jeering smile on his face. No one knew he was laughing at the unfairness of this society or something else.
Vincent thought that he finally understood and stood up to see him off.
But unexpectedly, Julian stood up and said in a low voice, "I won't give up."
Vincent was taken aback by his words, "What?"
He thought Julian had understood what he said. It had never occurred to him that he would be such obsessed.
He really wanted Emelia to be bombarded with gossips!
Vincent had no choice but to continue his persuasion, "I know I end up being together with Naomi throughout my life. But my case is different from yours."
"My parents were quite satisfied with our marriage. Later when they knew Naomi is infertile, they did force us to divorce. But they have never beat Naomi as your mother did. For my part, your mother's behavior has ruined the relationship between you and Emelia."
"And I actually have several siblings.
They all have their own children so it actually doesn't matter whether I have my own child or not.”
“But you are different. Now your sister has passed away. You need a child to inherit your position as the master of the Hughes’.
Your parents won't accept Emelia. Much as your grandpa likes Emelia, he wouldn't accept that you will have no heir."
Fixed his eyes on Vincent, he said firmly, "If I'm not the young master of the Hughes’ and I'm not in charge of the Hughes
Group, then there might be less gossips for us to face?"
Was he really willing to give up all the things he had? Vincent knew that the Hughes Group was going to set up a new chip plant
in the South.
Vincent didn't know what to say. He was moved by Julian's determination and deep love for his daughter, but he was also
shocked by Julian's determination.
Staring at him from behind, Vincent couldn't bear to let him stagger away as such so he stopped him, "I will call my driver to
drive you back to your hotel.”
Even a man made of iron and steel could not make two long-distance travels within such a period of time in such a bad
condition.
Then he murmured to himseif, "I can't stay here for one more second. I feel as if the air in this house were feeling sad for
Emelia."
