Please Come Back, Honey!

Chapter 49

Trevor certainly felt that Emma had loved him. After his anger subsided last night, he immediately realized that she was lying! It was just like what Zachary had said earlier. He could feel her love for him during those few years.

Zachary withdrew his long legs and walked to the table. Picking up the spoon, he tried a mouthful of the porridge that Crystal brought.

“Horrible!” He pulled out a tissue and spat out the mouthful of porridge. After that, he critiqued the food unreservedly. “Superstar Crystal's cooking skills are a far cry from Emma's.”

He had eaten the food cooked by Emma before. During the years that Trevor and Emma were married, they would occasionally gather at Trevor's house for a party. Emma had always cooked for them herself and Zachary had always felt that her cooking skills were good enough for her to be a food blogger.

No wonder Trevor didn't even bother eating a single mouthful of the porridge. He probably suffered greauy from her poison previously.

He crossed his leg over his knce and leaned back. Then, he asked Trevor, “Say, what were you thinking? In an attempt to chase Crystal away due to your desire in not wanting to spend time with her alone, you dragged me here so early in the morning to pretend to have a work discussion?” Early this morning, he had been sound asleep when he received a phone call from Trevor. Trevor had mentioned over the phone that Crystal was going to come and visit him later, so he asked Zachary to rush over to pretend to discuss work with him.

A trace of impatience flashed through Trevor's eyes. “I get annoyed no matter who I meet right now.”

Zachary clicked his tongue. “Look at your attitude. What's going to happen when you marry Crystal in the future?”

Trevor frowned. “Who said I'm going to marry her?”

Zachary spread his hands wide. “The whole of Jonestown knows that you're about to

get married. Don't tell me you didn’t know about it since Crystal announced the news to the whole world.”

Of course, Trevor knew about it. It was just that he never said a word about his relationship with Crystal before.

Zachary continued, “If you're not planning to marry her, then why didn’t you come clean and draw a distinct boundary with her?” II

Trevor snapped angrily, “Do you think that it's easy to draw a distinct boundary with her?”

Zachary smiled and sighed. “That's true. If President Sanders were to learn that you dumped his precious daughter, he will surely be extremely furious.”

Crystal came from a very prominent family. Her father, Thomas Sanders, was the president of a well- known foreign bank, so he had many close business relationships with major companies.

This was the reason why Alice was biased toward Crystal and looked down on Emma. The Bateson Family would look good in all aspects with Crystal's family background.

On the other hand, Emina had nothing.

Her father and her brother ran a small construction company. Moreover, they had been in jeopardy over the past few years due to their frivolous attitudes at work. After Emma married into the Bateson Family, the Bateson Family had been forced to support both her father and her brother. Leaving aside the variety of methods they used to ask for money, they also constantly threw about the Bateson Family's name in public. There were no words to describe how uncomfortable Alice felt about them. That was why she never treated Emma nicely during the three years of marriage between Emma and Trevor.

Trevor turned to look out the window and spoke with a deep look in his eyes, “I originally thought that it would be fine to marry Crystal. She is excellent in all aspects, and my family is satisfied with her"

Zachary asked, “Then, why is it not okay anymore?” As he was unable to hold back, he teasingly added, “Did you realize that you can't live without your ex-wife after you divorced her?”

Once again, Trevor snapped angrily, “Who the f*ck can't live without her?”

Zachary quickly apologized, “Alright, alright. I was wrong. You can live without her. In fact, you're living an even better life than before. So, why don’t you want to marry Crystal anymore?”

A pensive Trevor answered, “She changed a lot. Rather, it can be said that I failed to see her true self before.”

Zachary rubbed his chin. “That's true. During the three years you spent living with Emma, you were also effectively separated from Crystal for three years. I'm sure you've become more distant from her cmotionally.” As Trevor's best friend, he sincerely suggested, “In any case, it doesn't matter what decision you make. It's best to take decisive action as soon as possible.”

Trevor pursed his lips and said nothing.

He wanted to lake decisive action too. However, Crystal's family and his parents would surely put up a huge battle. Crystal's father was not somebody to be messed with, and his own mother would surely kick up a huge fuss too.

Zachary took out his phone and said, “Since you're not going to eat Superstar Crystal's porridge, I'll arrange for somebody to bring something else.”

After saying that, he called the manager working at one of the restaurants under his name. It didn't take long before a delicious and nutritious breakfast was delivered.

He accompanied Trevor until Trevor finished eating. It was only at that moment Zachary prepared to leave.

Trevor called out to Zachary. “Next time, don't flirt with Cerys. You are not suitable for her.”

Cerys had a reserved and serious character. If Zachary successfully caught her heart with his flirtatious behavior, the only one who would ultimately suffer heartbreak was her.

He lazily asked, “How did you know I was flirting with her?”

Trevor replied in disgust, “You had a wretched smile on your face when you came in.”

Zachary had been his best friend for many years, so how could he not know what the other party was thinking?

Cerys and Cyrus had been working by Trevor's side for many years now, but for some reason as of late, Zachary would flirt with Cerys whenever he met her. While he could afford to play emotional games, the same could not be said of her.

Not only was both Cerys and Cyrus incredibly loyal to Trevor, he also took care of them as though they were his own younger siblings. That was why he believed that it was necessary for him to warn Zachary.

Zachary seemingly asked in a casual manner, “How do you know we are not suitable for each other?”

Trevor looked up and countered with another question. “Are you really going to say you don't know whether the two of you are a good match for each other? Do you really wish for her to become the second Emma?”

Emma’s family was relatively well-off, but Cerys came from an extremely poor background. In addition, Zachary's situation in the Manson Family was also a little special and that alone would make it cxtremely difficult for him to maintain a long terin relationship with Cerys.

Trevor added, “Of course, if you're only planning to fool around with Cerys, I won't agree to it. You should give up as soon as possible.”

Zachary's enchanting eyes narrowed slightly. There was no saying whether he had taken Trevor's warning to heart. A moment later, he laughed and changed the subject. “Wow! I really couldn't tell! It turns out that you actually know about all the grievances that Emma suffered in secret when she married into your family!”

Trevor looked away and closed his eyes without saying anything.

Of course, he knew about all the grievances that Emma suffered. Not only did his mother disparage Emma in front of him countless times, she also humiliated Emma often in person. It was just that he had been very unhappy with Emma at the time, so he had not bothered to care about her feelings. Whenever he abruptly recalled those events from the past, he felt as though his senses had been infinitely magnified. The humiliation and harassment that Emma faced at the time surfaced in his mind. Only then did he realize how cold and ruthless he had been when he stood back and remained apathetic toward her.

Likewise, Zachary turned to look outside the window, an endless pit of emotions hidden in the depths of his enchanting eyes.

Cerys had a high rate of efficiency at work. Hence, she quickly organized a meeting with all the relevant personnel and informed them that the location would be the meeting room of Alpha Productions as usual.

At Emma's suggestion, Susanna was also invited to join this meeting as the female protagonist candidate for the role of the queen consort.

Susanna grabbed Emma incredulously and asked, “Do you really think I can play such a calm and pleasant role like the queen consort?!”

Her appearance was charming and lively. She had always played animated, sexy, or cool and powerful characters. Therefore, nobody had ever looked to her for the role of the queen consort who was quiet and indifferent to the world.
