After getting out of the old Mr. McBride's ward, Emelia asked Julian in confusion, "Why did you say that to him?"
Emelia was moved by what Julian said, but she thought it was a little inappropriate to say it to the old man.
For Emelia and Julian, he was nothing more than an acquaintance.
After the deal was over, they wouldn't contact the old man anymore.
Julian stopped and stared at Emelia, saying, "It was not a spur of the moment thing."
Emelia looked at Julian in surprise, only to hear "I was just speaking from the heart."
"But I really want to show him my love for you." Julian narrowed his eyes after saying this.
Emelia read between the lines and asked, "Why?"
Julian pursed his lips. "I think Derek is also involved in the kidnapping." Derek was the old Mr. McBride's name.
Emelia was shocked.
In her mind, Derek was also a victim. He even fell ill from anger at his son and granddaughter.
Emelia clutched Julian's clothes and asked, "Why did they do that?"
"For profit." Julian held her hand to comfort her. "Some people are far greedier than we thought."
"But I'm just suspecting something with no evidence." To relieve Emelia, Julian said, "Let's go back to the hotel."
Maisie took a taxi back, so the car was left.
On the way to the hotel, Julian thought of Maisie and asked, "How is Maisie?"
Emelia felt a little guilty, so she quickly looked away. "She is suffering from period pains, so I asked her to have a rest."
Julian thought Emelia was too embarrassed to talk about this, so he didn't pay any attention to the unease in her expression.
Thus, Julian said, "Then ask her to rest for a few more days. She has done so much work here."
Maisie had been busy with the chip industrial park since she arrived in Grafstin. After site selection, she started to negotiate with many companies. Now that Julian was here, Maisie deserved a good rest.
"Okay." Emelia heaved a sigh of relief.
Maisie had to stay in bed for a few days, and Emelia had been afraid that Julian would ask Maisie to do something else.
Maisie had booked a room, which Emelia had to share with Julian.
After sleeping with Julian, Emelia no longer insisted on living apart from him.
After getting into the room, Julian answered a phone call and Emelia began to pack their luggage.
As soon as Emelia turned around, she was hugged by Julian, who had just finished the call. Emelia asked worriedly, "What do you want?"
Julian pushed Emelia onto the big bed, planked her, and kissed her lips. "That is all that I want."
Emelia pinched his waist. "I'm talking about Larry McBride."
Julian chuckled. "Wait until Larry McBride contacts me. They are in a state of anxiety because they want to get the money sooner."
Larry McBride was the son of Derek. Julian had just gotten Larry's specific information from his men.
