Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 438

The conversation between Julian and Roman didn't go very well for Roman knew what Julian had come all the way to see him for.

After they had been at table, Julian raised his glass to Roman and said, "Maisie and David are both my right hands. Now that Caroline is gone, I personally see them as my sister and brother. I would very be grateful if you can go easy on them for my sake."

"Whatever you see her as, and even if you go so far as to tell the whole world that you take her as your real sister, her humble background will still be a permanent fact," said Roman, without trying to conceal his distaste for her, also as if to tell him that he had come over only for his sake.

Chilliness descended on Julian's face.

At that moment Julian strongly hoped that Maisie's baby would be a boy, if so, he would root for her to never let Roman take his grandson back to the family so that the poor old man would be sorry for cutting off his heir.

No pity shall be felt for a man like this.

Until then Julian had actually considered persuading Maisie to him about the baby if after the it was born, Y's health was still bad and Ezra had no other kid, so he wouldn't regret that he did not live to see his grandchild.

But then and there, Julian decided he would not plea for any mercy on him.

He thought of a saying he had heard of: Being pitiful and being hateful are just two sides of the same coin.

It made so much sense in the case of the man he was speaking to.

"Well, you are right, " replied Julian with a faint smile, "It will go on to be a fact. And if you have to be so unhappy with that, you might as well be stricter with your son."

"What do you mean?" asked Roman grimly.

"I mean she does not care to marry your son. She has left behind everything she had earned in the Riverside City only to get away from Ezra. You think she will still want to have anything to do with the Cantillos?"

Roman winced at what he had heard, even appearing to be clenching his teeth a little.

He could see what Julian meant to say-- it was his son who came to Grafstin to find Maisie.

He had sent people to beat up Maisie in order to give Maisie a piece of his mind and scare her off, but it was only because he had presumed that Maisie was the one who was trying to hook up with his son again.

It had never occurred to him that his son had started it.

Roman was so mortified that he wished there had been a hole to hide him from this.

Looking askance at him, Julian declared, " We were not the reason for this whole thing. You won't get off so easily if you make one more such mistake."

The declaration was a outright threat that he would definitely fall out with his entire family if Roman did anything like that to Maisie again.

Unable to utter another word, Roman bit his bottom lip and gave him a dirty look.

Roman was aware Julian and Ezra were not only close friends, but also business partners, if Julian chose to break things up, all those collaborations would be called off, resulting in massive loss to his company.

With the company and its benefits being everything to Roman, any possible loss it could suffer would be too much for him, which was why he was made speechless.

"I heard that you haven't been very well lately. Shall I give you a word of advice? Take good care of yourself, and live to see something very interesting that would be happening in the near future."

With that, Julian rose from his seat and left.

It was true that he had been close to Ezra but that didn't mean he must take his father seriously.

In fact, he no longer saw him as a friend anymore.

That interesting thing was actually referring to Maisie's baby.

Wouldn't it be fun to see Roman begging Maisie to marry his son? Or pleading for the reunion of him and his grandchild?

He would wait and see.
