Although Julian had promised Emelia that he wouldn’t attend any social events, they both know that some events just simply couldn’t be avoided.


    This night, Julian had to attend a wine-tasting event organized by the cultural division.


    Therefore, Emelia had dinner at Vincent’s ce, waiting for Julian to pick her up after the event was over.


    Originally, Julian wanted Emelia toe with him. With her by his side, all those women coveting him wouldn’t dare to make a move.


    But when he thought of Emelia’s little baby bump, he decided to let her stay at home and rest.


    After dinner, Emelia went on a walk with Vincent. Nina suddenly called when they got back from the walk.


    “Honey! I’m going tell you something. Gosh, it’s so funny! I’m dead.” Nina sounded excited.


    Emelia chuckled, “What is it?”


    “It’s about Julian.” Nina continued, “Did he go to the wine-tasting tonight?”


    “Yeah,” Emelia answered. Nina couldn’t be at the wine-tasting tonight because she was still out filming the variety show. Emelia wondered how did Nina know that Julian was there.


    “You haven’t heard, right? Clearly, there was a woman trying to seduce Julian and was pushed into theke by him.” Nina broke outughing.


    “What?” Emelia was shocked.


    Although the weather was slowly warming up, it was still a bit chilly at night. Theke water must be freezing cold.


    “Well, he didn’t exactly push her. That actress deliberately throw herself at him but he dodged. That’s why she fell.” Nina guffawed.


    Emelia was speechless.


    She could picture the scene in her mind.


    It pained her to know that those shameless women would try to seduce him when she was pregnant. He was cornered. He had no choice but to do that to stay clean.


    Knowing that he did it to protect her dignity and deter other wily vixens, a warm fuzzy feeling flooded Emelia.


    Nina caught a breath from her nonstopughter and continued, “It’s brilliant. I heard that woman almost drowned. But someone jumped into theke and dragged her up. She made a total fool of herself. ”


    Emelia could only imagine how embarrassing that must be.


    Instead of throwing herself at Julian, she threw herself into ake. What was more humiliating was that Julian didn’t even help her out!


    Emelia asked, “You weren’t there. How did you know?”


    Nina exined, “That actress is not really popr. Rememberst time I told you that there were some women trying to seduce Julian? She is one of them. Their n turned out to be a fiasco tonight. The news had been spread around among my friends now. Honestly though, Julian is really cold-blooded. He just dodged and watched her falling into theke. Others would have pushed her away. But still, it’s so funny. He’s so cute. I won’t pick on him from now on.”


    Emelia sighed. “I really didn’t expect that those women could do that.”


    “I think they were born this way.” Nina’s voice was full of disdain. “If everyone is moral and virtuous, there won’t be homewreckers anymore.”


    Sheforted Emelia. “You don’t have to worry about that. Julian won’t be two-timing you.”


    Emelia chuckled. “Okay, so you are on his side now.”


    “Yeah, he won my favor this time.” Nina really kept her word about not picking on Julian from now on.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    Emelia changed the topic. “Have you finished filming? When are you going back to Riverside?”


    Nina replied, “Soon enough.”


    “Great,” Emelia said happily. “I’ve been nning the wedding recently. I need your help in picking out a wedding dress.”


    Although Julian was in charge of most of the preparations, Emelia still had to pick out the wedding dress herself.


    “Cool. I’ll help you as soon as I get back.” Nina asked, “When is the big day?”


    Emelia answered, “We haven’t set a date yet. Presumably in one or two months. Why?”


    Nina exined, “There is a military-themed TV show. The director wants me to y a role in it. If I take the role, I’ll have to cut my hair. I’m still hesitating. I’m your bridesmaid. Buzzcut doesn’t go with long dresses.”


    “Military-themed? That’s wonderful!” Emelia was happy for Nina. Being able to y a role in this was a validation of Nina’s acting skills.


    Emelia continued. “Just do whatever you want. Even in buzzcut, you will surely outshine other bridesmaids.”


    “Long hair goes with the dresses and is more appropriate for formal asions,” Nina said.


    Emelia knew Nina cherished their friendship and attached great importance to this wedding.


    Sheforted Nina, “You can still have long hair at your own wedding. If you want to do the show, just do it. I won’t mind even if you can’t attend the wedding because of the schedule.”


    ying in this show was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Emelia didn’t want Nina to miss it because of her.


    Nina thought for Emelia. In turn, Emelia looked out for Nina wholeheartedly. She hoped that Nina could avail this opportunity and scale new heights in her career.


    “Okay, I know. I’ll think about it,” Nina agreed.


    After hanging up the phone, Emelia heard the rumbling of the car engine. She looked out of the window and saw Julian getting off the car.


    Emelia checked the time and knew that Julian left early. His mood must be ruined by that incident.


    Hearing themotion outside, Vincent came downstairs and asked, “Is that Julian?”


    “Yeah,” said Emelia.


    “He came back so early?” Vincent was surprised.


    Emelia thought of what Nina had told her on the phone and burst intoughter. “Yeah, there was a small… incident.”
