Chapter 98 Ex-wife and Robbing the Cradle
Julian sneered and said, “Stomachache?”
Her excuse was really poor.
Maisie explained on Emelia’s behalf, “Women really feel uncomfortable every few days. I don’t think she’s lying.”
Emelia’s voice on the phone was indeed weak, and Maisie was also a woman. She knew very well how uncomfortable it was for a woman.
Emelia had a stomachache, while she had a headache.
Every time her period came on the first or second day, she would have a headache. She couldn’t bear it without taking painkillers.
Julian frowned. Those days of a woman have every month?
Why didn’t he know that Emelia had such a problem before?
Emelia had been with him for three years. Other than occasionally catching a cold, he had never heard of any discomfort from her.
Later, he thought that he had a lot of things he didn’t know before, so he simply changed his words and said, “Then ask Viggo to go with us.”
“Okay.” Maisie responded. When it came to Viggo, she quickly said, “When we had dinner together last night, Emelia said… Mr. Johansen confessed to her.”
“What?” Julian thought that he had heard it wrong. “A confession?”
Although he could see that Viggo’s feelings for Emelia were not ordinary, he did not expect Viggo to really confess his love.
Maisie nodded. “Emelia said that it was at the day when Oliver made trouble in Tymers.”
“Robbing the cradle. Doesn’t he feel ashamed?” Julian gave Viggo a sharp tongue without hesitation.
Then he said with disgust, “Don’t call him. I’ll go by myself.”
He was now annoyed when he thought of Viggo. Maybe he could still make a move after meeting him, so he’d better not meet him.
Maisie held back her laughter and said, “Okay.”
Of course, Maisie knew why Julian suddenly changed his mind and didn’t want to be with Viggo. He must have been angered by Viggo’s confession to Emelia.
It was true that Emelia felt uncomfortable when her period came, but it was not exaggerated that she couldn’t get out of bed. She deliberately found an excuse to refuse to go with Julian.
However, after thinking for a while, she still called Viggo and told him that Julian was going to see Marvin Reynolds.
Emelia didn’t know if Julian would invite Viggo, but she felt that it would be better if he did.
Recently, she had discussed a lot with Viggo on WhatsApp in the process of writing the script. If he went, he would explain the content of her script to Marvin even more deeply.
As a result, half an hour later, Julian and Maisie arrived at Marvin’s studio and saw Viggo, who had also rushed over.
Julian’s face immediately darkened. However, Viggo said calmly, “Emelia said that Mr. Hughes wants to visit Marvin. During this period of time, we have to discuss the script every day, so I have a deeper understanding of the script and plot. We both agree that it’s better for me to come over too.”
“Discuss the script every day?”
Both agree?
Julian looked at Viggo coldly, and his face darkened again.
Without saying a word, he took the lead in walking into Marvin’s office. Viggo nodded and greeted Maisie before entering.
In the office, Marvin looked at the two of them with a clear expression. He asked suspiciously, “Viggo, Mr. Hughes, are you sure you two are business partners?”
Viggo and Marvin graduated from the same school, but the former was a few years earlier than Marvin.
It wasn’t Marvin’s fault for asking such a question. The atmosphere between Julian and Viggo was too strange. It didn’t look like they were cooperating to create a TV series at all. Instead, they looked like enemies who could fight in the next second.
To be more precise, the main reason was that there was something wrong with Julian’s personal mood.
Viggo was very calm. He almost knew why Julian suddenly became so hostile to him. It probably had something to do with Emelia.
In the face of Marvin’s question, Viggo spoke first.
He handed over his script to Marvin and said, “Mr. Hughes is about to get married, so he must have a lot of things to deal with. It’s understandable that he’s not in a good mood due to fatigue.”
Viggo deliberately mentioned that Julian and Yvonne were going to get married and deliberately made trouble for him.
Marvin smiled. “Mr. Hughes, please send me an invitation later.”
A few days ago, Yvonne had been frequenting go to the wedding dress store and jewelry store, so there was nothing wrong with Marvin’s response.
Julian felt a surge of foul air rising from the bottom of his heart. He pressed the tip against the back of his tongue and turned his head to glance at Viggo coldly. “Mr. Johansen, can you really handle it after robbing the cradle?”
“Fortunately, robbing the cradle is much better than getting rejected by one’s ex-wife.” Viggo wasn’t an easy person to deal with either. His words had truly poked Julian’s heart.
The corners of Julian’s lips curled into a sneer, barely suppressing the urge to turn the table over.
It was said that the same man never crossed the same river twice. He despised himself for inexplicably thinking about Emelia’s behavior recently.
Marvin had roughly figured out the reason why they were on bad terms with each other in just a few words, probably because of a woman.
Ah-ha! It’s always about the women.
In the end, he took the initiative to bring up the matter regarding the script, so he changed the topic completely.
Marvin said, “I quite appreciate this screenwriter, Wintry Frost. The lines of her previous plays are quite deep.”
Marvin’s praise of Emelia made Julian feel a little better.
But the next second, he looked at Marvin with deep eyes. Could it be that there was another man who had feelings for her because of appreciation?
Marvin raised an eyebrow in the face of Julian’s gaze and continued, “Since you’re the virgin of the director and Mr. Hughes’ investment, of course I have to accept it.”
Marvin added, “But I also want to recommend an actress for the second female lead.”
Viggo was very interested. “Who do you want to recommend?”
Marvin said a name, ” Zella Sabir.”
Viggo frowned and thought for a long time. Finally, he said, “I haven’t heard of her.”
Marvin laughed and said, “A nameless actress, sort of, but she has infinite potential. I’m not pulling strings for her. Viggo, you can audition her first. If she can’t do it, then forget about my suggestion.”
Viggo nodded, “Okay.”
He then looked at Julian and said faintly, “I didn’t expect this second female lead to be so popular. Just now, Mr. Hughes’ fiancée also called me and said that she wanted to have a try.”
Viggo added, “Mr. Hughes, isn’t Yvonne going to retire and be Mrs. Hughes wholeheartedly? She suddenly came out to shoot again. What are you two doing?”
Julian asked coldly, “Which ear did you hear that I said she was my fiancée?”
Marvin elegantly took a sip of coffee and sat there as if he was a spectator watching a show.
Viggo spread out his hands. “Isn’t this the fact that everyone in Riverside City acquiesced?”
Julian snorted. “Everyone in Riverside City acquiesced, but that doesn’t mean I’ll admit it.”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
After he finished speaking, he got up and said goodbye to Marvin, “Since we’ve reached an agreement, you can make an agreement with Mr. Johansen. I’m leaving now.”
Then he waved his sleeves and left with Maisie without looking back.
