There He Is Again, My Ex-Husband (Julian and Amelia) novel Chapter 496

Anya stormed out and Phil followed.

Phil apologized as he walked out, "Sorry guys. Anya doesn't know what she was doing. Please forgive her. I have to go."

With that, he left the private room.

Erika's smile stiffened with embarrassment.

Emelia held back her laughter, impressed by Anya.

People might think that Anya was being headstrong and irrational. But in this way, Anya got Ezra out of trouble. Ezra's father had always wanted to force Ezra to be with Erika. If Ezra just dragged Erika out of there, it would make his father look bad.

With Anya and Phil leaving, the dinner party was almost over.

Just then, Emelia covered her mouth and retched. Seeing that, Julian wrapped an arm around her waist and asked worriedly, "Are you okay? Do you want to throw up again?"

Emelia nodded. "I have to go to the restroom."

"I'll go with you." Julian helped her up and walked out.

But they weren't really heading to the restroom. Emelia was faking it so that they could leave the party.

The dinner party should have ended a long time ago. People had already finished eating. They were just sitting there chatting with each other.

Arthur checked his wristwatch and stood up from his seat. "Sorry, I have a night shift to cover tonight. Gotta go."

In the end, Erika and Ezra were the only two left in the room.

Ezra snorted in anger, and kicked over the empty chair next to him. "Happy now?" He taunted.

Erika didn't expect that Ezra's friends would just leave like this.

Her face went pale. Ezra's reaction also intimidated her. Ezra had always had a good reputation in Riverside City. The girls all said that he was kind, gentle, and considerate.

But in front of her, he was this irascible and caustic man!

Ezra glanced at Erika coldly and snorted, "I'm warning you now. Don't show up in front of me ever again."

With that, he walked out of the room.

He didn't know what did his father see in this woman. Erika and the Marshall family were definitely no good.

Yes, Anya was a little spoiled. But she was the cute kind of spoiled.

Erika was also spoiled.

But she was overbearing and insidious. Her barging in tonight was the awfully perfect proof.

Alone in the room, she swept the empty dishes and leftovers off the table. The cups and plates shattered upon hitting the ground. Then, she grabbed a few more glasses and hurled them at the wall. Dejected, she sat down in the chair beside her and cried loudly into her hands.

"Why won't he look at me? Am I not pretty enough? Why doesn't he like me?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. However, no matter how noisy she was being, no one came in to comfort her. Since no one was giving her attention, she felt bored and left the room.

Although he said so, he still couldn't hide his pride and joy in the words.

Phil was also happy about Anya's reaction today. Her helping Ezra meant that she cared about him. Because she knew that if his friends were having a bad time, Phil himself would be upset.

Anya must have done that to make Phil happy.

On the way back, he pestered Anya and asked if she cared about him. Anya said that she did that because she found Erika repulsive and that Phil was overthinking it.

But Phil didn't buy it. He firmly believed that Anya did that because she cared about him.

Julian also replied solemnly, "Emelia and I don't need anything money related. You know clearly what we want."

Ezra didn't respond.

He knew that Julian and Emelia wanted him to stay away from Maisie.

The dinner party kerfuffle ended just like that.

After getting back home, Emelia washed up and was ready to go to sleep. She wasn't in a particularly good mood, especially when Erika showed up.

Emelia couldn't help thinking of Maisie. Erika came from an affluent background. Although Ezra refused Erika right now, there would be numerous rich girls like Erika coming his way.

Maisie was the opposite. Ezra's father would never approve of Maisie and Ezra's relationship.

Even if he did, their relationship wouldn't last long because Ezra didn't really love her.
