Chapter 52 Do You still Want the Photo Albums?
When Maisie heard from Nina that Viggo had feelings for Emelia, she, who had always been calm, was so shocked that she even forgot to eat her food.
The first thing she did after coming back to her senses was to rush to report the matter to Julian, but she saw that Emelia looked calm and did not take Nina’s words to heart at all.
Even Emelia said to her, “Don’t listen to her nonsense.”
Emelia didn’t think Viggo was interested in her at all. Why would a huge star like Viggo take a liking to an ordinary scriptwriter like her?Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
What was more, after being hurt by Julian, Emelia now had a shadow over brilliant men like them and instinctively stayed away from them.
Nina was dissatisfied with this ostrich mentality of Emelia, “I’m telling you, Emelia, you shouldn’t be afraid to face it. Not all good-looking men are as scum as Julian.”
Maisie didn’t know what expression she should put on.
Was it okay that Nina just mocked her boss in front of her?
“Right, Mays?” Nina turned to ask for Maisie’s opinion.
Maisie’s heart fluttered at the word “Mays”, and a handsome face sprang to her mind.
She lowered her eyes and murmured, “It does seem like a lot of good-looking men are quite a jerk.”
That man was also a womanizer, but that didn’t stop her from liking him.
Because, she couldn’t help falling in love with him.
Just as Maisie was caught up in such a pang of sadness, the doorbell was suddenly rung.
Nina went forward to open the door and it was Viggo who walked in with a bottle of wine in his hand.
Emelia and Maisie were both quite surprised, but Nina looked calm.
Viggo said with a smile, “I just came home from work and saw Ms. Brennan’s car parked outside Nina’s house, so I guess it was you having a get-together. I came here to give you a bottle of wine.”
Emelia and Maisie got up in a hurry to thank Viggo, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of staying for dinner. But since he had given them a bottle of nice wine, so how could they not keep him for dinner? In the end , Viggo stayed, and Nina had him sit next to Emelia.
Maisie went to use the bathroom and hurriedly reported this to Julian.
But after the report, she sent another message, “Boss, I need to concentrate on eating. It’s not appropriate for me to keep texting with my phone.”
So Julian never heard anything from Maisie again.
Three girls and a handsome gentleman had a pleasant meal together.
Maisie said relatively little, but she had been silently observing, and then it became clear that Viggo did care quite a lot about Emelia.
He would peel Emelia’s shrimps, serve her soup, pour her alcohol, and even thoughtfully pull her chair when Emelia got up.
Maisie felt that Viggo was quite a powerful opponent if her boss really still had any affection for Emelia.
Viggo was a match for Julian in terms of looks and temperament, and most importantly, Viggo was very kind and considerate to Emelia.
And when her boss was with Emelia, it was all about Emelia being nice to and taking care of him. Julian never took the initiative to care for Emelia, let alone being nice to her.
As a girl, Maisie felt that it was very likely that Emelia would choose Viggo.
During the meal, Maisie ate with apprehension because she was considering her boss’s position.
Towards the end of the meal, Emelia glanced at her phone.
Someone sent a friend request to her on WhatsApp. When she clicked on it and saw the name ‘Julian’, she frowned.
After the divorce a year ago, she deleted all her contact information related to Julian and even changed her mobile phone number, so now Julian suddenly sent her a friend request? What did he want?
Emelia’s first reaction was to ignore it and put away her phone and continued eating.
Was it necessary for divorced ex-husband and ex-wife to contact?
When Maisie found that she did not check her phone, she couldn’t help but whisper to her, “Emelia, Mr. Hughes said he has something quite important to talk to you.”
The implication was that Julian wanted to talk to her in private.
Emelia gave her an innocent smile and said, “Can’t he call me?”
It meant that he could call her, but it was unnecessary to add his contact on WhatsApp.
Maisie opened her mouth, but eventually lowered her eyes and sent Emelia’s words to Julian.
After a while, Julian gave a reply.
Maisie relayed his words to Emelia, “Mr. Hughes said that all your things are still left at his residence. If you have time, you could go fetch them.”
The day when the divorce was finalized, Emelia left the country in the afternoon.
It was true that all her things had been left in the house she and Julian had once had, but Emelia had no intention of taking them back, and she had assumed that Julian had thrown them away long ago.
After all, he was so disgusted with her that he must have been the first to clean up any traces that belonged to her after the divorce.
At this moment, Emelia was surprised when she heard Julian ask her to get her things back.
But she then said to Maisie in an impassive tone, “No need, let him throw it away.”
Maisie conveyed it to Julian again, and not long after Maisie took her phone and showed Emelia a photo, “Mr. Hughes asked whether you still want those two albums?”
Emelia’s eyes snapped open when she heard that.
She could have done without all the clothes and household items, but the two albums were precious because they contained many photographs of her and her mother.
If Julian hadn’t mentioned it, she would have forgotten about it.
Raising her eyes again to Maisie, she thought for a moment and said, “Please ask Mr. Hughes to send it to Tymers or to my place.”
Maisie diligently continued to pass on the message for the two, and replied to her a short while later, “Mr. Hughes said he will be in the hospital these days, so he couldn’t send it to you, so you should go get it yourself.”
“Mr. Hughes also said that the password for the front door of the house is still the same as the one you set before, it hasn’t changed.”
“The albums are in the safe, and the safe code… hasn’t changed.”
Emelia didn’t even know what expression she should make after hearing this.
What was wrong with Julian? He didn’t change his password?
Emelia secretly gritted her teeth, then tried to make her voice sound calm and unruffled as she said, “Please tell Mr. Hughes, I’ll pick it up tomorrow morning.”
Since Julian was in the hospital, she would hurry to take it away while he was not at home to save herself from running into him.
“Okay.” Maisie responded.
Because Julian had stirred things up so much, Emelia felt that she was in no mood to eat.
The thought of stepping into the “home” she had once shared with Julian tomorrow made her feel bad.
That place meant sweetness but also heartaches for her.
Her three years of marriage to Julian began and ended there.
Although she had long been over with this failed marriage, it was inevitable that she would be touched by the environment when she was there. Emelia could only hope now that Julian would change the entire arrangement of the house.
