Please Come Back, Honey!

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.”

She had known that Trevor was the investor from the beginning. Even so, she accepted the script because she felt that she could draw a distinct boundary between her work life and her private life. Who could have known that so many issues would crop up from the very beginning? No matter how much she tried to draw the line between them, it would seem that! Crystal was unable to accept the situation.

Susanna reached out to grip Emma's hand tightly. “I support you.”

Just as they finished eating breakfast, Emma received a message from Wesley on her phone. “The Bateson Group has replied to me. There is no need to change the script. The project will proceed based on the current plot. Also, the person in charge from

the Baleson Group will be replaced by Treyor's special assistant, Cerys Penrose. You can work on the script with peace of mind in the future.

Emma held the phone for a long while, unable to recover from her shock. There's no need to change the script? I thought Trevor would have to comfort Crystal after the commotion she caused last night, and the price of comforting her would be changing the script according to her will. In addition, why did the Bateson Group replace the person-in-charge?

It was true that she had no intention of meeting Trevor, but who was so in-sync with her to make these arrangements? As she was unable to figure out the conundrum, she quickly called Wesley. Wesley did not hide anything from Emma “I knew you didn’t want to have any interactions with him, so I made it clear to him last night. Either you quit from the project and we replace the screenwriter or he changes the person-in-charge on his side.”

His response rendered her speechless. She had to admit that he was very bold. Moreover, as an employee, his support moved her very much.

“President Zurich, thank you,” she thanked him gratefully. It was just that she never expected somebody as proud as Trevor would actually compromise.

Wesley laughed and comforted her. “li's nothing. I had the confidence to make such a request. That is because our script is amazing. Even if we screw up the deal with him, I can just find another investor to take his place.”

His appreciation for the script she produced moved her so much that she didn’t know what to say. Thus, she secretly vowed to herself in her heart. I'm going to make it this script even more perfect. That's the only way I can repay his appreciation toward my work.

He did not say much else. He simply asked her to finish writing the official script as soon as possible before he hung up the phone.

After the call ended, Emma hugged Susanna happily and cheered for a long time. It was great that Emma no longer needed to revise the script. More than that, life was even more amazing now that she no longer needed to meet Trevor.

On the other hand, Susanna, who was being hugged tightly by Emma, murmured under her breath in confusion, “Trevor actually compromised? That's unbelievable.”.

Having been in the entertainment circle for some time now, she had more or less interacted with Trevor on various occasions. Although Bateson Group Films was only a small and inconspicuous part of the Bateson Group's business empire, Trevor and the way he managed the productions were very strict. In all the projects they participated in, they would take charge of everything. Outsiders were forced to obey

all their whims.

I can't believe he actually compromised this time around. No, it's possible he compromised for Emma's sake. I wonder what he is thinking.

Afterward. Susanna went out to film her scenes and Emma took a cab back to her house.

Adam left not long after she departed last night. Apparently his company managed to lure his fans away, which allowed him to escape successfully.

Emma wanted to tell him not to cause trouble for her again in the future because she wanted to work on her script in seclusion.

Adam left behind a large package of snacks and junk food that he brought with him. There were also some ointinents for scratches and burns inside.

She glanced at the injury on her arm and couldn't help laughing. She never expected him to be so considerate despite his young age.
