Chapter 516 Nothing But a Joke


    Arthur said seriously on the phone, "We need to talk."


    Jean agreed instantly, "Okay. Then shall we meet at the coffee house downstairs? And I also need to


    meet Julian first. Emelia said he was recently overwhelmed by mental stress."


    Jean hesitated for a second and continued, "Shall me meet half an hourter?"


    "Fine," Arthur agreed. He didn''t mention that he had already been waiting at the underground parking


    lot of the hotel.


    Jean hung up the phone and went downstairs. She met Julian and had a talk with him at the coffee


    house.


    Julian would suffer from so much mental stress only because he was overly worried about Emelia.


    Based on her diagnosis, Jean told Julian that he could take a long trip to ease his mental stress.


    Coincidentally, Julian was about to go to the vi resort with Emelia for their honeymoon. Maybe after


    that trip Julian would feel much better.


    After Julian left, Arthur also entered the coffee house.


    Before he walked over to Jean, he saw her stand up and look at someone behind him surprisedly,


    "Why are you here?"


    Arthur was stunned a bit before he turned back to see a man in suits and tie bypass him ande


    over to Jean. He said in an extremely gentle way to Jean, "I heard you will get back today so I''m here


    to pick you up."


    Jean smiled, "You don''t have to. I will get back soon."


    Then they began to talk friendly and Arthur could do nothing but to bit his lips and stare at Jean.


    The man finally sensed the presence of Arthur and he stopped smiling and asked Jean, "And this is..."


    "This is a ssmate of mine when I was studying abroad," Jean didn''t even introduce his name to the

    man, which made Arthur feel quite depressed.


    The man greeted Arthur out of courtesy, "Hello."


    Arthur also greeted him subconsciously. Maybe Jean also sensed how embarrassed he was and she


    introduced the man to Arthur, "He is a friend of mine."


    Again, she didn''t mention his name nor did she mention the rtionship between them.


    Then Jean said to Arthur calmly, "Oh, I remember you said you wanted to have a talk with me. Please


    sit down."


    Mixed feelings began to well up in Arthur''s mind as he saw Jean and that man standing together


    intimately.


    With a heart filled with bitterness, he turned away, "Oh, just forget it. I wish you happiness."


    He then walked out of the coffee house.


    Obviously, she had found another boyfriend. He was the only one who was left behind, who tried to


    start a romantic rtionship with her.


    She was just as enchanting and uncaring as she used to be.


    Now, Arthur thought he himself was nothing but a joke.


    After he left, the man beside Jean frowned and said, "What did he mean?"


    "Don''t bother," Jean smiled slightly and sad, "Just wait a second for me here. I will get my luggage


    upstairs."


    The man agreed gently and Jean went upstairs.


    It had never urred to her that Arthur woulde to have a talk with her. in Jean''s eyes, Arthur didn''t


    appear to love her and she had even heard him say that he didn''t love her.


    And it had never urred to her that the man woulde to pick her up. The man was her fiancé


    selected by her parents. They had met and had dinner together for several times. She had been


    persuading herself to ept him.


    She knew he was excellent in all aspects. But in her mind, he couldn''t bepared with the man she


    fell in love with at first sight.


    She felt quite depressed when she was about to graduate a few years ago.


    She must get back to Riverside after graduation. She had no idea whether she should inherit her


    parents'' business as her parents wished or be a psychiatrist, which was her own dream. It was


    during this period she met the handsome boy on a party organized by the medical school.


    She knew that straight-A student was a celebrity in her school,.


    She couldn''t tell why she would love him, but she just did.


    It was the first time she let herself follow her own heart.


    If she would end up failing to have her dream realized, she would be satisfied with her life as she had


    had such a romantic rtionship with the man she loved.


    So, she approached him on that evening when she was drunk. Arthur was then enchanted by her and


    they became a couple naturally.


    But as they were medical major who were about to graduate, they were quite busy. They spent their


    time together only on bed with no words. Sex was the only topic in their rtionship.


    His attitude made her feel that he didn''t love her truly. That''s why she chose to disappear from his life


    and cut off all the contacts between them.


    But she didn''t expect that she would meet him in Riverside City Hospital.


    Luckily, she finally knew how he felt about her. The moment she heard he said he didn''t love her, her


    love for him had faded awaypletely. Otherwise, she wouldn''t choose to leave Riverside in such a


    determined way.


    After a while, Jean went downstairs with her luggage and left the hotel together with the man.


    Arthur sat in his car and saw Jean get out of the hotel together with that man. He saw it clearly how


    they were having a happy chat with each other and how the man help put her luggage into his trunk.


    Jean got into his car and they left together. Arthur didn''t leave until the car disappeared from his sight.


    Arthur felt as if a snake were gnawing his heart and he couldn''t breathe.


    If he were not a doctor, he would have thought he was stricken by a heart attack.


    He didn''t know how he left the hotel. He felt as if he had fallen into an abyss.


    Julian headed right towards his home after he left the hotel. Emelia had packed the luggage they


    needed and they started their trip.


    They nned to invite Vincent to go with them. But today Vincent had gone back to the capital with all


    these members of the Longerich family who had attended the wedding yesterday. Now Vincent had


    almost ovee her sorrow and pain so he decided not to stay in Riverside City anymore.


    Nina went to Tymers Entertainment. Her contract with Tymers had terminated and though thepany


    wanted to extend the contract, Nina had made up her mind to leave. And Viggo Johansen didn''t urge


    her to stay.


    Julian was driving while Emelia was sitting beside him. It was a warm spring and the road was nked


    by beautiful flowers in blossom. With the melodious music yed on the car, Emelia stroked her


    abdomen and she couldn''t feel morefortable.


    But the peace in the car was disrupted by a phone call by Ezra.


    Since Julian was driving, Emelia took out her phone and turned on the speaker.


    Ezra said in a cold voice, "Julian, ask Emelia what the fuck did Jean say to Arthur?"
