Please Come Back, Honey!

Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Christopher was shocked. For a moment, he was conflicted about whether he should be happy or sad about the news. His well–educated, agnostic grandson had actually agreed to visit a fortune teller. It was clear Trevor truly wished to know what his chances were with Emma. More accurately, he was yearning to hear some good news that could alleviate his current frustrations. After four whole years, Christopher finally realized just how great of a woman she was and how important she was to him, which should have made him happy. On the other hand, she was currently dating Wesley, so Trevor might not have a chance now. Sadness rose in Christopher once more. Even so, he quickly calmed down. “Come with me to the mountain later,” he said to Trevor. “Don‘t head to the office just yet.” “The mountain?” Trevor asked, confused. “Yes. We are going to the church up the mountain,” Christopher explained. “The priest is a good friend of mine. He would be our best option as he has mentioned that he can help us and keep it a secret.” Trevor agreed. Not far away from the beautiful home of Christopher was a mountain that was a famous tourist spot. People said that it was good luck to visit the church there. As Christopher spent most of his time living alone, he would frequently visit the priest to play chess with him. After some time, they grew to be friends. When the two men arrived at the church, the priests had finished their morning prayers. When they saw Christopher, they hurriedly led him to the internal courtyard. The scent of sandalwood could be found everywhere within the church and the trees were huge and thriving. Trevor frowned. Frankly speaking, he never liked churches and places of worship. However, for some reason, he found himself agreeing to have a word with the priest.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Since when did he become someone who entrusted his life to the hands of others? Still, he was here now. Hence, he followed his grandfather as they were led to the priest. The priest was of the same age as Christopher and had a white beard on top of a kind look. When he was told of the reason for their visit, he tugged his beard a few times before handing Trevor a bunch of candles, telling him to pick one. After that, he chose a candle and waited for further instructions from the priest, who then recited, “The April‘s in her eyes; it is love‘s spring–nevermore. Kid, you better pray more since there is no hope for you and that girl. Take some time to offer your prayers in search of someone else.” The priest‘s words caused Christopher to panic as the man couldn‘t help feeling worried since it was certainly an unlucky phrase. “Utter nonsense!” Trevor exclaimed in fury after he had a moment to process what he was told. He then abruptly strode away. What kind of words was that? He was already regretting going along with his grandfather‘s idea. Since Trevor was the only master of his fate, he would be the only one to decide what his future would be with Emma. “Oh, you stupid bral!” Christopher shouted as he went after Trevor. “How can you be so rude?” Trevor did not care for his grandfather‘s lecture, however, and walked out of the church. This was a stupid place! He would never take a step here ever again! “Why are you so angry?” Christopher grumbled. “You are the one who had a word with the priest. He was only advising you on what to do next. Why are you furious at him?” “Anyway,” he continued, “love is all dependent on destiny. You are the one who ignored destiny when it called. What is the point of being upset about it now?” Trevor was already in a bad mood. Hence, his grandfather‘s heart–piercing words made him bark, “I am leaving, Are you coming with me?” “Oh, just scram,” Christopher huffed in exasperation. “I am going to play chess with the priest.”

Without looking back at all, Trevor went back to the car and had the driver send him to the office. Due to the things that happened in the morning, he brooded the entire day. When he appeared in the office, Cerys and Cyrus both avoided angering him as best as they could. They had also seen the news about Emma dating Wesley. While they were shocked, it was a fact they had to accept. After all, Cerys had called Emma to confirm the news, and she had admitted it. Cerys was still sad about it, though. As Trevor‘s subordinate, she had naturally wished for Emma to get back together with Trevor However, she had to respect Emma‘s decision when it came to love. Everyone online was talking about Wesley‘s secret girlfriend. That morning, he announced through the company‘s official Twitter account that he was taking some personal time off due to his mother‘s poor health. As nothing about the statement killed the rumors, people took it as a silent confirmation. Emma spent three days in Wesley‘s family home. The moment Wesley‘s mother was discharged from the hospital, she returned home. One, Wesley did not need her to be there the entire time. It was good enough that his mother knew he had a girlfriend. Two, Emma needed to attend a book launch. Wilson Young, an author she loved, was having a book launch in Jonestown. When Susanna gave her a ticket to the event, she was beyond herself with joy. Emma had fallen in love with Wilson‘s books since her university days. She had read every book he had ever written because nearly all of his books had been adapted into television series. After reading his books, she would watch the adaptation of the book she had just read. She was a loyal fan. Not only did she like his books, she also loved his personality. Even though he was a genius wordsmith, he was a humble and reserved man. She had been looking forward to the book launch because this was the first book he had published after years of silence.

For the past four years, Wilson had written nothing and had essentially vanished from the public‘s perception. According to what Susanna heard, it was because his wife had fallen ill. He had spent the past four years by her sick bed. Wilson had been married for decades. Despite having no children, they were an extremely loving couple. When Emma found out the reason behind his silence, her admiration for him grew. A man who could abandon everything else to take care of his wife must love her very much. It was the perfect love story. The night before Emma left, she went home with Wesley and cooked up a feast for him and his mother. Wesley‘s mother gratefully grabbed her hand and praised her, “How could someone as perfect as you exist? You are so kind and beautiful. You‘re a great cook as well.” “Wesley is so lucky to have met you!” As Emma blushed from the flattery being heaped on her, Wesley said, “You forgot another point, Mom. Emma is an extremely talented woman.” “Oh, look at how forgetful I am,” his mother grumbled. “I even forgot the most important talent of all; you are a writer! Wesley has told me about the stories you wrote. I must watch the shows you participated in.” Emma felt her heart turning warm. With such a mother, it was no wonder that Wesley grew up to be a kind and considerate man.
