Chapter 170 Compensation
Chapter 170 Compensation
Julian didn't think it was a big deal to break a cup, but when he saw that Emelia was about to cry, he
hurriedly apologized. "I'm sorry. I wanted to wash the dishes, but my hands were too slippery, so I
broke the glass..."
"Julian, you really can't accomplish anything!" Emelia was so angry that she cursed. She turned around
and went to find tools to clean up the fragments.
Julian, who had been scolded, was silent and took a deep breath to calm down.
"Can't accomplish anything?"
No one had dared to say that to him for so many years!
In terms of career, how could he not achieve perfection? Under his leadership, the Hughes Group had
become at least twice as strong as before. It was no longer the Hughes Group that needed to seek
help from Randolph Sullivan.
This was also the reason why Julian didn't take Randolph seriously from beginning to end.
But it seemed...
Looking at the woman who had returned with the cleaning tools, Julian couldn't help sighing with
emotion. His marriage was a failure.
He lost the woman who should have belonged to him.
Therefore, he deserved to be scolded by her now.
Emelia put the fragments into the trash can, and Julian raised his hand to grab her arm. He solemnly
looked at her and promised, "I'll buy you another one."
After thinking for a while, he emphasized, "The best coffee cup in the world. You can pick whatever you
want."
No matter how expensive it was, he would buy it for her.
Emelia angrily shook off his hand. "I found this when I was abroad! There was only one in the world!"
Also, did he think he could buy everything with money?
Thinking of this, Emelia couldn't help but say, "You can't fix a broken mirror. There are things that once
gone, they're gone forever."
"Forget it, it doesn't matter." Emelia said tiredly, "If the old don't go, the new can't come."
Emelia was consoling herself. Hearing these words, Julian felt as though every single word of hers was
stabbed into his heart.
She was talking about the cup, but he felt that she was talking about their relationship.
If he lost it, it would never come back.
"Mr. Hughes, if you have finished breakfast, please leave quickly, okay?" Emelia didn't want to keep
him any longer.
Julian left her house silently under her disdainful expression.
Emelia, who had closed the door and returned to the kitchen, squatted beside the trash can and took
the last look at her cup with great pity, then sighed softly.
It was only at this moment that Emelia suddenly remembered that just now, Julian had said that he was
going to wash the dishes?
Did the sun come from the west today?
"Julian, a man who doesn't give a shit about housework, wants to wash the dishes?"
He'd better not wash it. It's a total disaster.
No, it should be that he should never come to her place for dinner again. Her plates and cups could not
withstand his destructive power.
Emelia swore that in the future, she would never take in Julian to eat at her place.
Julian got into his car. After thinking for a while, he called Nina.
Other than having to get up early for work, Nina spent most of her time sleeping.
So when she answered the phone, she got up and complained angrily, "Who is it? Why call me early in
the morning."
Julian said patiently, "It's me, Julian."
"Julian?" Nina muttered to herself, and then she shouted in an incomparably clear voice, "Are you
bullying Emelia again?"
Julian felt so wronged. In Nina's eyes, he was a person who only knew how to bully Emelia all day
long?
But after thinking about it, he broke Emelia's cup, as if he had really bullied her.
So he had to say, "I broke one of her cups. I want to ask if you have any photos of her cup. I want to
compensate her with one."
As Julian's voice fell, Nina immediately laughed gloatingly, "Julian, you're finished!"
"Emelia's greatest hobby is to collect all kinds of tableware, the cups, plates, and so on in her house.
They are all her favorite. You broke one of them for her, and you were completely blacklisted!"
Nina's words made Julian's face turn dark. How could he continue to eat in the future?
However, Nina was definitely not exaggerating. As a good friend of many years, she knew Emelia very
well.
Perhaps people who were good at cooking had a different preference for tableware, so did Emelia.
When they went shopping together, Emelia couldn't pull out her favorite tableware. It could be imagined
how much she cherished those she bought home.
Nina kindly added, "Her things are basically unique. You can't buy the same ones."
Nina borrowed the tableware to talk about the matter and said, "Besides, even if you get the same
thing, it's not hers anymore."
"This thing is like love. It can't return to the past." Nina tutted.
Julian clenched his phone and replied, "Since we can't get back to the past, let's start over again and
make her like the new one."
It also made her fall in love with the new Julian, who had changed for her and cherish her in the future.
Nina didn't expect Julian to be so stubborn. Of course, she could tell that Julian's words meant that he
wanted to start over with Emelia.
Nina didn't think highly of him, so she told Julian the truth, "Mr. Hughes, I'm not trying to discourage
you. I'm just telling you what I think of this."
"When she needed your love, you gave her hurt. When she focused on her career, you gave her love.
Do you think this is alright?"
Nina's words were quite vicious, but they also pointed out the current situation between Julian and
Emelia.
Julian announced in a domineering manner, "I can make her proud of both her career and her love life."
Nina had nothing to say now. She had never expected how thick-skinned Julian was. Her words were
supposed to be mocking him. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
But his answer made her admit defeat.
Nina turned to ask him, "Are you serious?"
"Of course." Julian returned very seriously.
Nina continued, "Since you have this intention, then tell me what the shattered cup looks like. I'll see if I
can help you find a photo."
Julian explained, "Complicated blue patterns, gold-rimmed."
Nina clicked her tongue. "I know what it is. I don't even know what to say about your luck. She carried it
all the way from abroad. I'll send you the photos later. Good luck. "After saying that, Nina hung up the
phone.
Julian quickly received the photo that Nina had sent to her. It was obvious that it was a screen shot of a
post on Emelia's Instagram. When she made her afternoon tea, she used this cup to hold her coffee.
Originally, Julian could have found it on Emelia's Instagram himself, but unfortunately, he had been
blocked.
