Please Come Back, Honey! novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109

Emma did not expect an apology from Trevor. Still, she was able to remain calm. “I accept your apology.”

“Can you drive me back to the party?” she then asked.

Her nonchalance made him rage boil in him. In fact, he had felt like exploding since the moment he found out what Arianna and Crystal did.

In spite of that, Emma acted like none of it concerned her.

When she saw the fiery glare he shot at her, she instantly walked away.

“It‘s fine,” she said, pulling out her phone. “I will just hail a cab.”

As soon as she said that, he pulled her back by the arm.

He was going to tell her that he would drive her back, but he had acted so hastily that he pulled her with more force than he had intended to. As she had a pair of high heels on that evening, his actions caused her lo sprain an ankle.

The pain was so bad that she nearly collapsed to the ground. He hurriedly caught her and asked with a frown, “What happened?”

The dress she wore that evening was made of soft and smooth fabric. Hence, when he wrapped his other arm around her waist to support her, it felt as though he was touching her bare skin. He immediately went tense.

Despite that, the pain was so overwhelming that she did not care how close they were. She looked down to study her feet. “I think I sprained an ankle.”

Trevor was at a loss for words.

Was he cursed with bad luck? How could he have made her twist an ankle just from grabbing her by the arm?

Previously, he had only ever hurt her heart. Now, he was hurting her physically.

“I‘m sorry. I underestimated my strength,” he immediately apologized while realizing he had been apologizing a lot recently.

“I‘ll drive you to the hospital,” he continued, lifting her up bridal–style.

She was startled by his sudden action. “I should be able to walk,” she awkwardly stammered. “Put me down.”

His car was parked not far from where they were. So, she insisted that she was fine walking back to the car.

It was extremely awkward to be carried by her ex–husband in his arms, especially since her dress was thin and flimsy.

However, he ignored her and strode over to his car.

He then placed her on the passenger seat before kneeling down to examine her foot,

She felt a flush rise to her cheeks as warmth radiated from his palms.

How she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself right then and there. “Let the doctors at the hospital handle it,” she said, blushing as she shrank back.

“There is no need to be shy,” he responded as he massaged her ankle.

Her heart skipped. She prayed that he did not continue with the usual line of “He had already seen her naked, after all.”

Thankfully, he remained silent. After a few more minutes, he let go of her ankle, shot her a look, and stepped into the driver‘s scal.

After a while, he received a call from Alice.

Arianna was likely home by now. Who knew what she would have said to Alice about that evening‘s events? Either way, Alice was definitely calling to interrogate him.

Hence, soon after he picked up, he spoke before Alice could say a single word. “Mom, Arianna has done something so unforgivable that I have shown her mercy by sending her abroad.”

Although Alice was frightened by the way he spoke, she still pushed on with her pleas on Arianna‘s behalf. “It was only something done hastily out of impulse. What if she apologized to Emma instead?”

“It‘s too late,” he said, scoffing.

They were already divorced. What would an apology from Arianna do?

“Furthermore, Mom,” he continued, doing his best to suppress his rage. “How could you say that what she did was only done out of impulse? It seems like you have spoiled her rotten. It is no longer suitable for her to live with you anymore.”
