Chapter 13 She Is Playing Hard-to-Get
Chapter 13 She Is Playing Hard-to-Get
Julian stared at her slender back with a gloomy expression on his face, and he even had the urge to
strangle her.
He had never known that she still had such a sharp tongue. After divorce, she had lost all the
sweetness that she had once shown him.
However, what he didn´t know was that she had been so warm and tender to him because he had been
her husband and because she had loved him.
Now that he meant nothing to her, and her tenderness to him would naturally disappear.
Only when Emelia got into her car and left, Ezra, who was beside him, recovered from his shock. He
stared at the direction Emelia´s car was leaving and said in disbelief, “What´s this situation? Did she
actually retort you? I thought she dared not make a noise in front of you before.”
Everyone around Julian knew what a good and conscientious wife Emelia was like. She was always so
soft and sensible, as if she had no temper.
That´s why when Ezra saw Emelia stood firm and did not yield to Julian, and she even made Julian
wordless, he was completely dumbstruck.
Julian was a person who had never let his opponents take advantage on negotiating table in business.
When Ezra mentioned the old Emelia, he ignited Julian´s anger pent-up for a whole day. The all-time
poker face suddenly kicked off the trash can next to him.
Ezra: “...”
It was just some bitter words from his ex-wife. Why was the guy so grumpy?
Julian had said a lot of nasty things about Emelia. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
In order to appease the irritable Julian, Ezra said in a hurry, “Isn´t this a good thing? At least it means
that she won´t pester you anymore.”
Julian took a bit of the cigarette in his hand, and suddenly said with a sneer, “How do you know she
won´t pester me anymore?”
Ezra was puzzled, “What do you mean?”
Julian squinted his eyes and said quietly, “Maybe she´s playing hard-to-get.”
Ezra wanted to say something but he finally chose to swallow those words back. What he actually
wanted to say was that Julian was thinking too much.
The look on Emelia´s face could be hardly considered as playing hard-to-get. It was clear that she was
avoiding him.
Anyway, he was a popular man among women and he had a much more accurate understanding of
women´s minds than Julian.
But Ezra didn´t say anything in the end because he didn´t want to blow up his friend´s self-esteem and
confidence.
Women could be really silly, sometimes enough to risk everything for a man.
However, if they became ruthless, they could also make a man's life worse than death.
Julian´s cell phone rang at this moment, and it was his mother Heather Duncan.
Julian had a headache immediately. His mother always called him for nothing else but to urge him to
marry Yvonne Sullivan.
She said with a not nice tone, “Where are you? Didn´t I ask you to take Yvonne home for dinner
tonight?”
Julian replied calmly, “Sorry, I forgot.”
Heather was irritated by him and started complaining, “What are you thinking about all day long?
Yvonne is such a nice girl. Any man wish would want to marry her as soon as possible if they had that
chance. If it hadn´t been for that shameless Emelia, you would have had kids with Yvonne long Heather
mentioned Emelia suddenly and used such harsh words, which bizarrely made Julian feel a little upset.
He didn´t want to hear her complaints anymore, so he simply ended the call by saying that he had
something left to be dealt with.
