The Accidental Wife (Emily and Julian)

"Daddy, why aren't you living with us?" I stilled upon hearing my daughter's question. She hadn't asked me that question before, so I didn't

understand why the was asking Julian directly.

It had been almost three weeks since Jeffrey's dreadful visit. I didn't tell Julian anything about the visit even though part of me wanted to do so. I kept myself busy with work and focused on working on Maya's wedding dress. Her wedding was in two weeks and only the fina Julian gave me an assuring look, silently telling me that he got this. "Daddy made a huge mistake a long time ago, and Mommy can't find it in her heart yet to forgive him." Something about his words made my heart clench. Sometimes, I felt like I was a terrible villain for n "A big mistake? I don't think it's as big as what I made. I once broke her favorite perfume, but when she saw that I was really sorry she forgave me and didn't even punish me," she told him, making me smile. I wish his mistake was as big as she considered hers to be. "My D

"How

mistake was bigger than you

yours, sweetheart," Julian told her, making her frown as she placed a piece of Lego over the other.

Did you break two of her favourite perfumes!" she wondered.

I wasn't sure how Julian was going to explain the situation to her. I didn't want her to know the exact events. She was too young to understand and I didn't want her to get the

wrong impression about her father Julian was a good father and I didn't want anything to ruin his image in her eyes.

"Okay, imagine this with me," Julian

adjusted his position and I kept my eyes on him. The two of them were sitting on the floor, playing with leggos. "Imagine that Mommy found her favorite perfume broken, but you didn't break it this time. Despite that, Mommy accused you of breaking it, and no matter what you said, she didn't believe you and she even ended up telling you not to talk to

her ever again." Rosie's mouth turned into an o shape. "I did something similar to that. Mommy kept telling me that she didn't do what I had accused her of doing, but I didn't believe her."

"You did that?" Rosalie said in disbelief and Julian shamefully looked down. "Yeah, it's pretty bad." Despite the seriousness of the situation, I found myself smiling at my daughter's adorable reaction. She had her lips turned to the side with a little pout.

"No hope for me, huh?" He was addressing her, but I knew that the question was meant for me. I felt bad for Julian. He didn't deserve the self-loath he was putting himself through.

"No, be hopeful. I think Mommy may forgive you one day. It will just take time," Rosalie smiled at him.

Rose told me before how bad he had been without me, but I never thought it was that bad. The thing was, she told me that he was getting better, so

was the better version of him, I was petrified of seeing how he used to be

if that

"Im going to get you both juice, okay?" I said, getting up from my place.

"Actually, would you like to go out?" Julian asked us.

"Yes!" Rosalie squealed, jumping up from her place.

I didn't really plan on going out, but I could see how excited Rosalie and Julian were, so I couldn't find it in my heart to tell them no

"Cupcake, I'm sorry, I should've asked Mommy first. Maybe she doesn't want to go out," Julian told Rosalie whose face fell.

"You guys can go. I'm going to stay here and work on Maya's dress," 1 told them.

"But Mommy, we can just go for ice cream and come back quickly. Please come with us," Rosie pleaded as she got up and held onto my hand. I looked at the clock on the wall, then looked at the two of them. "Fine, but no more than two hours, then we have to get back ck here Rosie cheered while Julian got up from his place and said in a playful tone while bowing, "Your wish is my command, your majesty."

The two of us ended up going to a nice ice cream place that was close to a park.

"You still like Nutella ice cream?" Julian asked me as we stood in front of the ice cream fridge. Why couldn't he forget anything about me? "Yes, I was actually thinking about getting it," I told him. "You're getting mango, right?" I wondered.

"Yeah, what do you want to get, Rosie??

"Cookies and cream. She grinned.

The three of us waited for our order and I noticed a smile on Julian's lips, but he was zoned ous.

"What's on your mind?" I asked, not sure if he actually heard me or not. When he didn't reply, I snapped my fingers in front of him. That caught his attention. "What's on your mind?" I repeated my question.

"Dhawe just realized that I have only started to eat ice cream again after Rosie appeared in my life," he admitted

ww

I used to get ice cream regularly with him, but he only went because I loved it so much. He did like ice cream too, but he wasn't as obsessed with it as I used to be "I don't get it as much as I used to. After giving birth, my body changed a little and I had to look after my bod on me? I should stop him. I

"You still look as stunning as ever" My cheeks reddened and I looked down. Why did his compliments have that effect on shouldn't allow him to talk to me like that because I had a boyfriend. Something was wrong with mel

ng them.

After taking our ice cream cones, the three of us headed towards the park. There was a lake there that had ducks and Rosie loved watching

Julian and I sat on the bench in front of the lake and watched Rosie as she kept her eyes on the ducks.

"Are you working on a new collection!" Julian wondered.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"I actually am. The fashion show is in almost three months and Maya's wedding is near. I have billions of things to do. I barely have time to breathe." Why was I venting to him? Why was it becoming easier to talk to the man who supposedly stomped on my heart? ""Mommy! Can 1 feed them ice cream?" Rosie asked me.

"No, sweetheart. You can't. The ice cream is just for you" I replied.

"How was it like raising her on your own!" Julian surprised me with that question

"It was tough at first. Giving birth on my own was hard. When my water broke, I panicked and I almost called Maya, but I knew that Maya would have probably told you about my whereabouts, so I chose to do it all on my own. I called a cab to take me to the hospital and a kind nurse there who was always with me. I was so exhausted, but the moment I held her in my arms for the first time, I forgot everything."

I smiled when I remembered the first time I held her. She was incredibly tiny, and her skin was pink. Her cries were soft, but the moment her face touched me, she started to calm down. Tears welled in my eyes, and it took me five minutes to stop them from falling. "You raised her well," Julian said, making my smile grow,

"And you're doing an amazing job" He needed to know that he was a good father.

After a while, it was time to leave, but as I was walking, a teenager on a skateboard almost ran into me, so Julian quickly pulled me towards him, but 1 ended up twisting my ankle, which made me wince.

"Are you hurt Concern took over his features.

-My ankle hurts. I think I twisted it." I flinched when I tried to take a step.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do it." The teenager ran towards me. She looked worried and slightly scared.

"It's okay. It was an accident." I assured her. "Just take care next time."

She looked apologetic. Once again, she said sorry and walked away.

"Mommy, you okay?" Worry filled my daughter's voice..

"Yes. I'm okay, cupcake."

Julian ended up taking me to the hospital to make sure that my ankle wasn't in a bad state. Luckily, the doctor told me that I needed to ice it for three days and refrain from wearing heels for a week and things would be okay. Julian was really an

t

was really anxious even after I told him I was fine and he didn't calm down until the doctor assured him I was going to recover in mere days.

"Please don't work today," Julian said as he helped me sit down on the couch. He insisted on carrying me inside and ended up ordering pizza for Rosie and me. I couldn't find it in my heart to let him leave without eating with us, so I told him to stay. The way his eyes lit up

At night, before going to sleep, I decided to check the news and my heart almost stopped beating when I saw that paparazzi had snapped pictures of Julian and me. The pictures were posted on various websites and the one in which he held me when I sprained my ankle One article was titled 'Are Julian and Amelia Finally Getting Back Together?"

I scrolled through the comments, and everybody commented on how we looked so good together.

No, we didn't look good together. Our relationship was in the past and we weren't going to end up getting back together. They needed to

understand that

Some of the comments were about how cute we were as a family

were as a family and we all looked so good together.

Julian had alrearly been spotted with Rosie and there were so many questions going around. I told him to confirm that she was ours. We both agreed not to tell the medu anything about us and we only told them about Rosie because we didn't want anything negative to be 11:06 AM

I needed to talk to Matthew about that. I needed to explain the situation to him. I might not be madly in love with him, but I wasn't going to hurt him. I wasn't that woman. If I ever felt that I had feelings for another man, I would never stay with him. I wasn't going to cheat on I wasn't a cheater.
