Chapter 18 Attagirl!
Ezra was smooth-tongued on that side and said, “Yeah! The girl of your choice must be nice. I will meet
whoever you introduce.”
Hearing his words, Julian´s face darkened, and he was thinking how to torture Ezra later.
The old man tentatively said, “Um... what do you think of Emelia Jones?”
“Bang——” There was a loud noise from the other end, and then the voice of Ezra crying and howling
came, “Fuck! It´s boiling!”
After a good deal of chaos, Ezra finally spoke, “Grandpa, I´m sorry. I just spilled the coffee.”
“What did you say just now? I didn´t hear it clearly; would you say it again?”
Grandpa lost his patience, and said in a displeased tone, “I said I want to set you up with Emelia.”
Ezra immediately stated, “Oh, grandpa, unfortunately, I just had a new girlfriend recently. It´s not good
to date two girls at the same time.”
This lad.
Didn't he just say in such a cheerful tone that he would definitely meet with that girl?
“Sir, I have something to deal with now. I gotta go and I’ll visit you some other day.” Then he hung up
the phone as if running away. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Grandpa threw the phone aside angrily.
Julian’s mood was a little better. After taking a graceful bite of the dish, he kindly persuaded him, “You
don’t have to worry so much, she might already have a boyfriend.”
The old man curiously asked, “Really?”
Julian said nonchalantly, “Well, a boy who is only 20 years old.”
The reason why Julian told him this was because he thought that he would not be able to accept
woman´s love with younger man in accordance with his conservative personality, and he would
definitely find the opportunity to persuade Emelia not to associate with such a young boy.
Unexpectedly, the old man laughed loudly after listening and said, “Attagirl! Young and strong,
promising and energetic, this kind of man must be a great match for Emelia’s gentle character.”
Julian was speechless.
The old man said again, “Let me just say, Emelia is a good girl. Some people treat her as garbage, but
there will always be others who treat her as treasures.”
The last words seemed to satirize Julian intentionally, and Julian suddenly felt that the food in front of
him was not delicious at all.
After barely taking a few bites, Julian left the house. When he was driving back to the company, he
received a call from Yvonne.
Yvonne’s voice sounded aggrieved on the phone, “Julian, are you not in the company now?”
Julian answered simply, “Hmm, no.”
“I cooked soup at home this morning and brought it to you to surprise you, but you were not here.”
Yvonne has been keen on cooking and baking this kind of virtuous thing since she didn’t do so much
acting, and from time to time she baked some dessert for Julian as afternoon tea, or she would invite
Julian over for dinner after cooking.
And these were once done by Emelia every day, and more even Yvonne also learned how to make
coffee, because in the past, Emelia would make him a cup of coffee every morning.
Julian’s appetite was actually raised by Emelia in those few years. He even felt that the coffee in the
cafe was not as good as Emelia’s.
When Julian heard Yvonne’s words, he inexplicably recalled the time he had spent with Emelia back
then, which made him feel a little irritable for a while.
He impatiently explained to Yvonne, “Grandpa asked me to come over for lunch so I left the company
temporarily.”
Yvonne didn’t seem to catch the impatience in his tone, and continued to ask, “Why would Grandpa
suddenly ask you to have lunch together?”
Julian replied, “I am driving. Talk to you later.” Then he hung up.
He actually planned to go straight back to the company, but thinking that Yvonne was waiting for him in
the company, he turned the steering wheel and head straight to Ezra’s company.
