Julian and Emelia didn't get up after waking up. Emelia wanted, but Julian stopped her. "It had been a long night last night. Let's sleep in."
Julian felt sorry for her. Covering her lower abdomen with his palm, he wanted to warm her up.
Emelia felt warm in her belly and heart.
She nestled in his arms and said with a chuckle, "I've never expected you to sleep in."
Emelia was teasing him, but Julian admitted it. "Ehn. I'm also sleeping in. I want to hold you like this forever without getting up."
With those words, he leaned against her and said, "No wonder the ancient emperors refused to get up early in the morning for their business. I understood why they did so."
Emelia giggled, pushing him. Then she asked with concerns, "Do you still have a migraine?"
"I'm fine now." Julian asked in self-mockery, "Do you think I'm too fragile?"
Emelia hurriedly answered, "Not at all. I just feel sorry for you, Julian. You must be hurt by the scenes, so you had PTSD."
She felt highly sorry after knowing why he had suffered from a migraine the previous night.
At midnight, she woke up and studied him carefully to see if he had been bothered by it.
Since he was sleeping soundly with even breath, she was relieved and fell asleep again.
Julian held her tight. Right then, Emelia's phone rang. She checked it and found Heather's ID. Emelia was confused, wondering why she didn't call Julian as they were together.
However, she swiped to answer. Heather asked tentatively on the phone, "Morning, Emelia. Are you guys up?"
Emelia glanced at Julian and said, "Yeah, we just got up."
Heather continued, "Well... I made breakfast. Would you like to join me?"
Emelia didn't answer. Julian grabbed her phone from her hand and refused coldly, "No, thanks. We'll have it in the hotel. Then we'll go back."
Heather stiffened on the other end of the line and muttered, "I see..."
Julian was so cold and aggressive that Heather couldn't utter any word to keep them staying. Seeing that she was silent, Julian directly hung up the call.
Emelia approached and asked gently, "Shall we... have lunch with your mother?"
Emelia didn't take the initiative to flatter Heather. She suggested it for Julian's good.
Heather was his birth mother, so he shouldn't keep such an awkward relationship with her.
Julian refused, "No."
Emelia asked in a helpless tone, "Didn't you promise to be obedient to me in everything?"
Julian was wordless.
Tugging his hand, she said, "I know you are unwilling to be with her. You are afraid she'll give me a hard time as before. I can tell she has changed. It won't happen."
Julian cast down his eyes, keeping silent.
