Chapter 171 You Can't Read a Man's Heart from His Face
After dealing with Polaris, Viggo had almost recovered. The next day, he returned to his hometown with
his cat.
When he was at the airport, he was interviewed. A reporter asked him why he took the cat away this
time instead of handing it over to his girlfriend.
Viggo smiled gently and said, "She still needs to work. I can't bear to make her so tired." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
When Julian saw the interview video, he was almost numb to death. He immediately threw the phone
aside.
However, Julian finally heaved a sigh of relief. Since Viggo had left, he didn't need to worry about what
might happen to Emelia and Viggo all day long. He didn't need to be jealous of them.
Julian and Ezra were having dinner together. Arthur was on night shift, so he didn't come to the
appointment.
Ezra complained to Julian, "Don't ask me out all day long. You can ask Emelia out once."
Julian rolled his eyes at him unhappily. If he could make an appointment with Emelia, why would he
have to spend so much time hanging out with Ezra?
If he managed to make an appointment with Emelia, his buddy Ezra would be abandoned by him. By
then, he wouldn't even throw a glance at Ezra!
Ezra said casually, "Oh, by the way, Emelia has gone to the Capital. Even if you want to make an
appointment, I'm afraid you won't be able to make it in a few days."
Julian was shocked. "She went to the Capital?"
Regarding Emelia's trip to the Capital, Julian was completely unaware of it.
Ezra nodded his head. "That's right. I saw her Instagram and entrusted the cat you sent to Nina. That's
why I asked her. She's going back to the Capital."
Ezra and Arthur both had Emelia's contact information, so they naturally knew about Emelia’s
movements. However, Julian, who had been blocked by Emelia, had no idea at all.
Julian was shocked and annoyed, and there was an indescribable sense of defeat in his heart.
In her heart, he was even less important than Ezra now.
Ezra said, "By the way, you asked me to help you inquire about that cup. It's not available on the
market now. We can only find someone to make a similar one according to the picture. Are you giving it
to Emelia?"
Julian couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes. "Yes, I broke her cup."
Ezra spread out his hands. "I really don't know what to say. I've never seen anyone having such an
arduous time chasing a woman like you."
Julian was very tired. He didn't expect that he would encounter so many difficulties when trying to win
Emelia back.
He thought that she had loved him so much before. All he needed to do was simply show her kindness
and she would return to his embrace.
However, he did not expect that not only did she not return to his embrace, but she had also blacklisted
him. He even had to find out her whereabouts from others.
"But it's okay if it's a little harder. It took you a lot of effort, and then you can cherish her soon." As soon
as Ezra comforted Julian, Julian picked up his mobile phone to call David Brennan and asked him to
book a flight to the Capital overnight.
Ezra felt that Julian was making a fuss. "What are you going to do?"
Julian frowned and said seriously, "She must have gone to the Capital to see Vincent. Vincent said that
he wanted to recognize her as his adopted daughter."
Speaking of this, Julian suddenly changed the subject. "Vincent only met her once. Why does he want
to take her as his adopted daughter?"
Ezra also frowned with worry. "Do you mean that Vincent has other intentions toward her?"
However, Ezra analyzed carefully, "But Vincent has always had a good reputation in the circle over the
years, and his background doesn't allow him to do such a thing, does it?"
Some people's background was not afraid of being slandered, but some people's background could not
be tainted.
The Longerich family belonged to the latter. It was not because the Longerich family's status was not
high enough that they were afraid of being slandered, but because their status was too high that they
couldn't risk having their reputation tarnished at all.
Julian snorted and said, "You know his face, but you don't know his heart. In this world, there are too
many people with a human face and a beast heart. She is so simple, so I have to go and have a look."
Ezra felt that his words made sense, but he still reminded him, "You'd better be careful, lest you offend
Vincent."
Ezra felt that Julian was treating any man who had appeared next to Emelia as a rival in love. For some
reason, he felt a sense of hostility, and so he kindly reminded Julian.
If Vincent really sincerely accepted Emelia as his adopted daughter, Julian would be in trouble if he
accidentally offended Vincent.
He's afraid it'll be even harder to get Emelia back. After all, the Longerich family is behind Emelia.
Julian answered casually. After having some food, he got up and left. He went home to pack up his
luggage and headed to the airport.
Emelia had indeed gone to the Capital. She promised Vincent that she would go. Later, because of
Viggo's illness, she had been delayed for a day. Viggo said he would go back to his hometown. Emelia
then bought a flight to the Capital.
Emelia arrived in the afternoon. Vincent sent someone to pick her up. She had booked a hotel herself,
but Vincent strongly asked her to live in the hotel he arranged. It could be considered the most
luxurious and expensive hotel in the Capital.
It was hard for Emelia to refuse, so she had to live in.
After a short rest, Vincent drove the car himself to pick her up for dinner.
Emelia was not as silly and sweet as she was not wary of people. She also suspected that Vincent had
such a passionate motive for her.
But after meeting Vincent again this time, she could see his sincerity and joy from the bottom of his
eyes. Obviously, Vincent was welcoming her whole-heartedly.
In addition, Emelia did not know why, but she felt an inexplicable intimacy and trust towards Vincent.
She instinctively believed that Vincent would not hurt her.
When eating with Vincent, Emelia said that she wanted to go to the hospital tomorrow morning to visit
Mrs. Longerich.
Mrs. Longerich's name was Naomi Shuster. The Shuster family used to be a prominent family. Naomi
and Vincent were a perfect match once. However, the Shuster family had been on the wane over the
years, but it did not affect the relationship between Vincent and Naomi.
Vincent didn't care that there was no child between them, so how could he care about the reputation of
those families?
"Yes." Vincent was very happy. "I have arranged everything. Aunt Smith will be discharged from the
hospital tomorrow morning. Let's pick her up together, and then we'll attend the family gathering
together at night."
Fearing that Emelia would worry about the family gathering, Vincent said with a smile, "Don't worry. I
have told them about your existence in advance. You don't have to worry that they won't accept you."
Emelia was very touched. "Thank you."
Vincent smiled and said, "You don't need to thank us in the future."
After dinner, Vincent said that he would drive her around and get familiar with the environment. Vincent
also said if possible, he hoped that Emelia could live here in the future.
Of course, Vincent also said that he knew that Emelia had grown up in Riverside City and would not
force her.
