Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 400

"Maisie…" Emelia hugged Maisie and burst into tears. She felt so sad for Maisie, especially thinking of what she had gone through alone these days.

Maisie cried too.

She had been forcing herself to hold on. It was hard, exhausting. Great nausea brought by the pregnancy was unbearable.

Maisie felt much better after crying in Emelia's arms. It took away a lot of her negative emotions.

After crying for a while, Emelia asked Maisie with reddened eyes, "Does Julian know about this?"

"No, he doesn't." Maisie shook her head. "Luckily, I'm thin enough. He didn't notice anything last time he came here."

"And I don't want him to know. Can you keep this between us?"

Maisie didn't dare to tell Julian because he and Ezra were friends.

Emelia nodded seriously. "I will keep it a secret, I promise that I'll always be by your side."

Maisie looked at the time and said, "I guess Mr. Hughes is about to finish the talk with Old Mr. McBride, we should get back now."

Emelia stopped her. "The doctor said you should stay in bed and rest. So go home. I'll tell Julian that you are suffering from period pain. He won't doubt."

"Thank you, then." Maisie couldn't care much about Julian now.

The child was important to her. She couldn't lose it.

Emelia watched Maisie get in the taxi and then returned to Old Mr. McBride's ward.

The moment Julian stepped into the ward, the old man tried to get off the bed to apologize. "Mr. Hughes, it's all my fault. I didn't teach my son well. I apologize."

Julian went up and stopped the old man. "Don't say so."

The old man went back to the bed, and complained tearfully, "This bastard had been fooling around since he was young. I thought he would change after getting married. Yet I was wrong. After I cut him off in financial support, he started to take money from loan sharks."

"I was so angry that I cut all the ties with him. Then he disappeared. He never cared about the family. Suzanne's mother passed away long ago. I raised her."

The old man signed. "Suzanne must have colluded with her father."

Julian frowned. "How do you mean?"

The old man signed again. "When she came back from Riverside City, she told me that you treated her badly. She even hid and cried."

"To be honest, I didn't know that you love your ex-wife so deeply. That was why I turned a blind eye when Suzanne were pursuing you."

"She was a good girl, young and pretty, and she'll get a great heritage from me. So, I thought she was not too bad for you. However, …"

The old man waved his hand. "Please forget about it. It's such a shame. Please forgive me."

"I've tried to persuade her to give up on you, yet she didn't listen to a word I said."

"That bastard must have nudged her. Otherwise, why did she steal all the seals and things like that? She was the only person by my side."

"She took away the seal, so I can't sign the contract even if I want to." The old man got angrier as he spoke, even his breath went faster.
