The moment Julian got out of the shower, he sensed Emelia's bad mood.
He lifted the comforters and wrapped his arms around the woman on the bed. "You are thinking about Maisie, aren't you?"
Julian knew Emelia cared about her friends. Erika's presence must have agitated Emelia.
"Yeah." Emelia leaned in and said, "I don't know if supporting her to keep the baby is the right thing to do. Maybe her life would be much better if she chooses to have an abortion." She sounded frustrated.
"Maisie is very independent. Since she has made the decision, she must have thought it through. Don't worry about it." Maisie had been working for Julian for years now, so Julian had some knowledge about her.
Maybe it was because of her upbringing, Maisie was this strong and collected woman. When facing troubles, she was even more composed than David.
Therefore, she must have taken into consideration all the consequences of keeping the baby.
Of course, sometimes Maisie could be impulsive, like the time she chose to be with Ezra no matter how Emelia tried to stop her.
Emelia just leaned against Julian's broad chest and said nothing.
Emelia knew that Maisie would probably never fall in love with another man. So, the baby was like a comfort to her. Emelia could understand her feeling. Back then, when she got divorced with Julian, she also thought that she would never get married again.
Emelia's phone rang. It was Nina.
Emelia picked up the phone, still in Julian's cuddle. Nina congratulated her on getting remarried with Julian, then asked in a whisper, "Is Julian around?"
"Yes, what's the matter?" Emelia asked in confusion.
Nina replied, "Go to another room, maybe? I'm about to say something that he can't know about."
Emelia raised her head and glanced at Julian. Julian said to the phone, a little upset, "What is it? Why can't I know about it?"
Nina snorted. "I'm not telling you."
"Just a second." Emelia lifted a corner of the comforter, ready to get out of the bed.
Julian pulled her in. "Stay. I'll go to the study."
Although he didn't like Nina's idea, he still made room because he didn't want Emelia to leave the bedroom. She had been tired all the time after she got pregnant. Naturally, he would let her rest in bed.
But he was really curious about what Nina was going to say.
After Julian left the room, Emelia said to Nina, "He just left. What are you going to say?"
Nina giggled. "Aww, he actually left."
Emelia smiled. "Didn't you just told him to leave?"
Nina laughed for some time before calming down. Then, she asked Emelia, "Hey, how is your sex life after you got pregnant?"
Emelia felt a little uncomfortable about answering this question. "Not as frequent as before. Actually, we haven't done it since I got pregnant. We can't do it before the second trimester. We can't take the risk."
Then, she asked Nina, "Why did you ask?"
Nina let out a heavy sigh. "Let me just tell you. Some women these days are really shameless!
I just heard some gossip. Gosh, I'm so angry right now. I need to remind you."
