Please Come Back, Honey! novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73

Arianna took one look at the expression on Alice‘s face and surmised that Trevor was still determined to make her go overseas.

She fell onto the couch and wailed.

“Mom, I don‘t want to leave the country...” Arianna whimpered through her sobbing. “I can‘t stand being away from you. I can‘t live without you!”

Arianna was well aware that Alice was reluctant to part with her, so she said those things on purpose because she knew Alice would not bear to see her like this.

Sure enough, Alice felt her heart breaking. All the years, Arianna was the only one who stayed by her side as her husband cheated on her and left the country, while her son was constantly busy with work.

Arianna was the reason why she managed to pull through those dreary, difficult years.

It was why Alice coddled Arianna to the point of overindulgence. Her daughter was her lifeline and the one who kept her sane.

Alice felt a pang in her heart as these thoughts ran through her mind. She clenched her jaw and declared, “Don‘t worry. I won‘t let him send you away!”

Arianna wiped her tears and growled through gritied teeth, “Emma must be the one behind this!”

“Mom, Trevor is trying to send me away because of that woman, Emma! I can‘t let her get away with this!”

“What does this have to do with Emma?” Alice did not follow.

Thanks to Crystal‘s schemes, Alice found out that Emma was back in the country.

Even so, she did not think that Trevor had any contact with Emma, nor would he do anything for her.

Arianna filled Alice in on how she and Crystal had teamed up to inform Simon about Emma‘s whereabouts. “Trevor must have found out about this. That‘s why he wants to chase me out of the country!” she concluded angrily.

“That can‘t be!” Alica refuted.

“Your brother won‘t treat you like this just for Emma‘s sake. You‘re his sister, and Emma‘s just his ex–wife. Why would he protect her at your expense?”

“No, it‘s impossible!”

“Mom!” Arianna screamed in tears.

Arianna was dead sure that Trevor was doing this to her for Emma‘s sake. Otherwise, he could have suggested this at any point in time, but he had chosen to send her away now, right after she had schemed against Emma.

“Emma Yates is a cunning b*tch!” Arianna screeched. “If she wasn‘t one, why would she choose to collaborate with Trevor‘s company as soon as she got back into the country? Why else would she write a script that makes jabs at Crystal?”

Alice was distressed to see Arianna behaving like this, so she asked, “Do you have Emma‘s phone number?”

“I‘ll call her up right now and give her a piece of my mind! How can she act so shamelessly? They‘ve been divorced for over a year already, so why is she still pestering Trevor?”

As soon as Arianna heard that, she sat right up on the couch and looked up Emma‘s new number before giving it to Alice.

Since she found out where Emma was staying, naturally, she had Emma‘s new phone number too.

Alice got her phone and made the call in a huff.

Emma had been hard at work on her laptop when her phone started ringing, so she answered the call without giving it much thought.

“Emma Yates!” As soon as the call connected, she heard an unkind voice screeching her name.

Emma‘s brows furrowed slightly. That voice... Why does it sound like Alice Douglas?Why would she be calling me?

Despite her bewilderment, she responded politely, “Hello. Who is this?”

“You shameless woman–” As soon as Alice began her angry tirade, Emma ended the call and blacklisted her number without hesitation.

She no longer had anything to do with Trevor, so why would she just sit there and take Alice‘s verbal abuse?

In any case, she had not done them any wrong either, so why would she need to listen to their insults?

Alice had called Emma in a fit of rage and wanted to take it out on her, but instead,
