Chapter 32 Dispute Over the Script
“My stomach isn’t feeling too well lately, let’s have some light Chinese food.” Julian looked pale and refused Yvonne’s proposal.
Yvonne’s eyes went dim. She loved steak and other Western food, and so did Julian. She had always been proud of the fact that she was extremely compatible with Julian in terms of diet.
Yvonne tried to convince herself that Julian might really be suffering from an upset stomach recently, so she changed her expression to one of concern and asked him, “Stomach upset again?”
Julian nodded as he walked, his stomach didn’t seem to have been comfortable for the past year.
When he was with Emelia, Emelia helped him carefully with his diet three times a day.
At that time, she said that stomach problems should be slowly healed by diet, but he simply did not believe her. In this year after the divorce, reality told him it was truth.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Without a sound and sensible diet, his stomach problems were always on the rise.
Yvonne sighed, “I told you to quit coffee and to smoke and drink less, but you simply didn’t listen to me.”
When it came to coffee, Yvonne gritted her teeth, for she knew that Emelia used to make Julian a cup of hand brewed coffee every morning.
She tried to learn how to make coffee after Julian’s divorce, and even thought she was very good at making it, so she made it for him a few times, only to have him stop drinking after just one sip.
She was so angry that she almost had internal injuries, and then she didn’t want to be so tired and simply used his bad stomach as an excuse to persuade him to quit coffee.
It took giving up coffee to kick these bad habits that Emelia had spoiled him.
In response to Yvonne’s complaint, Julian gave her little reaction, which was tantamount to indirectly stating that he would not quit coffee.
After the two of them got into the car, Julian drove Yvonne back to her place.
On the way, Yvonne tentatively asked him, “By the way, do you feel satisfied with this script today?”
Julian spat out two words, “Quite good.”
Yvonne gritted her teeth and added, “Don’t you think that the ending is illogical?”
Julian asked, “How come?”
Yvonne tried her best to look calm: “The ending is that the unpopular consort and the lord tie the knot in the end, when the lord’s first love is dead. But previously it has spent so many scenes to describe how much the lords loves his first love. How could you just let her die like that?”
She was so furious during the meeting just now. It would be fine if she didn’t know that Emelia had written the script, but after she found out that Emelia was the writer, she felt that Emelia was insinuating the relationship between the three of them.
The male protagonist of this period drama is a monarch with the title of Lord Reminburg. Lord Reminburg has a legitimate consort, but it’s a marriage of convenience, and Lord Reminburg actually doesn’t like this consort at all, because he has the woman he loves.
Wasn’t this a reflection of the relationship between her, Julian and Emelia in reality?
But Emelia ends up writing his first love to death, making the unpopular consort the lord’s favorite. Was Emelia looking for comfort in the script because she could not get it in reality?
After Yvonne’s reminder, Julian finally realized that the persona of this script was somewhat similar to the three of them in reality, but he didn’t feel anything wrong with it.
“The whole structure of the story and the important storylines would come down to such an ending, it is logical.”
“The princess consort accompanied Lord Reminburg through many things. From the fight between Lords to the border war, to his serious injury, to the final ascension to the supreme throne, he has his consort by his side. Especially during the period when he was seriously injured, it was the princess consort who kept the entire castle functioning as usual, and it is absolutely right that he should grant her a kingdom and a loyal relationship.”
Julian thought that his statement was based entirely on the plot and he was calm and sensible, but Yvonne was exasperated.
