Please Come Back, Honey! novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42

The fact that Trevor threw his phone across the room indicated that his discussion with Wesley had broken down.

Wesley did not call again after that.

Zachary rubbed his chin and analyzed the situation meaningfully. “The award winning actor Wesley seems to have unusual intentions toward Emma. Logically speaking, you are the investing party. Wesley and the others should be desperately trying to please you. Even if there was a dispute with the screenwriter, the screenwriter is usually the one who would be fired instead. How can they ask the investor to assign another person to be in charge of the project?”

In his opinion, there could only be two reasons for Wesley’s attitude toward Trevor either Emma was truly that talented or Wesley had unusual intentions toward Emma. Wesley was protecting Emma, not from the standpoint of an employer toward his employee but from the standpoint of a man facing the woiman he loved.

Trevor gave Zachary a cold look. Grabbing a bottle of wine, he poured himself a glass and downed the contents in one gulp. He had already seen through Wesley’s unusual intentions toward Emma, but he never expected Wesley to confront him for Emma’s sake when he was the investing party.

When Zachary saw that Trevor was drinking too much, he decisively asked the waiter to remove the alcohol from the room. It was to prevent Trevor from drinking too much and causing his stomach issues to worsen. After all, there was nobody who would take care of him round the clock anymore.

Although he had Crystal by his side now, Crystal had always been a pampered young lady who had everything handed to her on a silver platter, so how could she possibly take care of him?

One should not be fooled by her good wife and loving mother behavior where she took on the role of the perfect wife now that she was semi-retired from the entertainment circle. All of that was nothing more than an illusion. Just from the details alone, it was easy to see how much she actually cared about him.

It was said that Emma had not known how to cook either when she first married Trevor. However, she insisted on learning how to cook after witnessing one of the instances where his stomach issues had flared up. She had carefully prepared all three meals a day for him from that day onward.

But, what about Crystal?

Zachary felt that she was simply putting on a show so that she could post pictures on her Instagram. As for whether the food she cooked was actually edible, she was the

only person who knew. In any case, he did not believe that a shrewd person like Trevor could not discern her perfunctory behavior.

Could it be that Trevor only likes her for her appearance? Her looks and figure were certainly the best among women. There was nothing wrong if Trevor was only interested in her for her looks and figure. Men weré lustful creatures after all.

Zachary glanced at Trevor’s sullen expression and did not say anything that would provoke the latter further.

He had to admit that Emma was certainly experiencing quite an exciting night tonight. Not only did a handsome young man visit her, the mature award-winning actor Wesley was also secretly supporting her from the shadows. I wonder whether Trevor still thinks that Emma is playing hard to get.

Emma stayed over at Susanna’s place that night. Although both of them drank a lot, that did not stop Emma from getting up the next morning to prepare a sumptuous breakfast for Susanna.

Susanna clicked her tongue while eating. “Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to Trevor that I can now taste your cooking from time to time. Your cooking skills were only dedicated to Trevor in the past.”

Emma simply smiled and said nothing. She felt that her emotional investment into Trevor in the past was extremely foolish, so she would rather not mention il.

Susanna asked, “Are you really planning to withdraw from this script?”

Emma lowered her eyes lightly. Her tone was self-deprecating and depressing. “Il took me a whole year to finally get over the pain of heartbreak and divorce. Those people and those matters are my nightmares. Looking at them only serves to remind me of how subservient I used to be. It makes me hate the useless me from the past.

That’s why, it’s better to just withdraw from the project. I won’t get emotionally affected again if we no longer interact with each other.”
