A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Chapter 30 Big G

Julia stared at the man in front of her. When he finally raised his head to meet her gaze, her eyes widened in recognition.

He was the man she had ran into at the hospital gate. His name was Eric Fang.

He looked up and directed his gaze at the two men in black. "Okay, you can go now."

When they left, he gently smiled at the woman in front of him. "Miss Gu, we meet again."

"Did you ask those two men to bring me here?" Julia frowned at Eric, her face expressionless.

"Yes." Eric smiled, as if he didn't see anything wrong with it. "Well, I told you we'd see each other again. I—"

But before he could finish what he was going to say, Julia grabbed the lemonade on the table and poured it all over him. With a glare, she fiercely grunted, "Are you insane? You scared me to death!"

Although Eric's men had retreated, they weren't too far away. When they heard the ruckus at the table, they immediately rushed up to grab Julia.

"Let me go!" Julia angrily yelled, trying to struggle out of their grip. "So what? Do you want to kill me?"

Wiping his face with a napkin, Eric waved his hand and silently beckoned to his men to step back.

"Mr. Fang, she..." one of them protested. It was their duty to protect Eric. They saw that Julia was threatening his safety, so they immediately came over to stop her.

"Leave!" Eric ordered with a frown.

With an embarrassed look, they released Julia. Eric then stood up and walked over to her.

Julia got more and more nervous as he got closer to her. Hesitantly, she stammered, "What do you want?"

"Look at my face carefully. Are you sure you can't recognize me?" Eric insisted, pointing at himself.

"Of course I recognize you," Julia snapped and gently pushed Eric's face away. "Weren't you the bastard who ran into me at the hospital gate? I'm really impressed. If you were angry with me, you should've solved at the hospital back then. Just because you have your men to defend you, doesn't mean I'm scared of you. If you hurt me, I'm going to teach you a lesson."

"Can you really not recognize me?" Eric frowned at Julia, disappointment laced in his voice. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Julia snapped her head at Eric's direction and impatiently retorted, "What do you want from me?"

Eric firmly fixated his gaze on her, realizing that she didn't recognize him at all. With a bitter smile, he scoffed, "I thought you would remember me the way I identified you when we met."

"What are you talking about?" Julia's eyebrows contorted into a puzzled expression.

"Julia Sweetheart, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. I see that you must have completely forgotten about me," Eric said with a deep sigh.

The moment he said "Julia Sweetheart," a memory triggered in her mind. There was only one person she could remember that would call her that.

Surprised, she squinted carefully at him. The fat boy in her memory was so different from the man in front of her.

"You...you are..." Julia stammered in realization. There was no way that Eric was the crybaby who was always following her around when they were younger.

"Do you remember now?" Eric chuckled at her reaction. "When we ran into each other, I immediately recognized you."

"Are you really Big G?" Julia pointed a finger at Eric, still unable to believe it.

"It's me." Eric brightened with happiness. "But I'm no longer the fat boy when we were kids, so I think you should never call me that again."

"Is it really you?" Julia rushed up to cling on to him. She violently rubbed his hair with her fingers, as if she was venting her anger on him. "I could barely recognize you, Big G! Where have you been all these years? How did you become like this?"

Eric and Terence were both Julia's neighbors when she was a child. When they were kids, Julia nicknamed Eric "Big G" because he looked like the character from Doraemon.

Back then, Julia would always chase after Terence, while Eric chased after her. He always listened to her, no matter what she said.

Later on, Eric's family moved abroad, and the Gu family went bankrupt. They never contacted each other again.

"Where did you move to? I tried to come see you as soon as I got back. A neighbor told me that your father had gone bankrupt and your family moved away." Eric's face frowned, worriedly. "If I hadn't run into you at the hospital gate, I really wouldn't have been able to find you."

Although H City wasn't too big, it was difficult to find a person.

Julia looked at Eric with delight and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

"Have you forgotten? When we were younger, I promised that I would come back to marry you once we grew up," Eric said with determination, "So now, I'm back to fulfill my promise."

"You must be kidding me." Julia waved her hand in embarrassment. "Don't take what you said back then so seriously. I'm just happy you're here."

"I'm not kidding." Eric looked at Julia with a serious expression. "I moved back for two main reasons. The first is that my company will be returning to H City for development and the second is to find you. Even when I was abroad, I was always thinking about you."

"Big G, stop kidding," Julia said with a bitter smile. "I'm married."

Eric stared at her and didn't speak for a long time. He then said, "I know, but you got divorced right?"

"How did you know?" Julia asked in surprise. Not a lot of people knew about it.

"After I met you at the hospital entrance, I had someone look into your situation. That bastard, Terence, doesn't know how good you are. But I will definitely treat you well," Eric promised. "Julia Sweetheart, you—"

"Mr. Fang." Julia tried to catch his attention. She realized that he meant every single word he said.

No matter how good their relationship was during their childhood, so many years had passed, and the things had changed. Just like her relationship with Terence. They had once been so intimate only to end up as strangers.

She smiled and continued, "I really appreciate what you just said, but... I have always regarded you as my friend."

As soon as she finished speaking, a strange voice came from behind. "Mr. Fang, when did you come back from abroad?"
