Please Come Back, Honey! Chapter 157
“Don’t scare it.” Emma stopped Trevor at once. Although he wasn’t happy about it, he still listened to her and stood up. But he still couldn’t help saying, “How can Minnie be familiar with you when it’s hiding like this all the time?” On the contrary, Emma wasn’t anxious at all. “That’s its personality. Don’t force it.” Trevor glimpsed Wesley’s cat in her arms and couldn’t help saying, “Don’t tell me that you’re ignoring Minnie because you have Welsey’s cat now.” Hearing that, Emma put Kitty down and let it play on its own. Then, she looked at him in frustration and said, “Am I such a cruel person in your eyes?” Then, he said with a snort, “I don’t know how you are to others, but you’re quite cruel to me.” She didn’t even leave any leeway for him when they talked about their divorce. Now, she wasn’t even giving him a smile and was ignoring him whenever she felt like it. Emma felt that he was being unreasonable, so she didn’t want to bother him anymore. She changed the topic right away and suggested, “I’ll try to call Minnie out if you want to see it.” Without any hesitation, Trevor replied, “It’s okay.” He came here to see her anyway, not to see the cat. Hearing his answer, Emma said, “You should go back to the office and work then.” At once, he didn’t know what to say. He had just arrived at her place, but she was chasing him away even before he sat down. “Are you not gonna have lunch?” After looking at the time on his watch, he reminded her kindly. In fact, he wanted to eat her home-cooked meal. That simple meal previously wasn’t enough to satisfy his desire. He wanted more; he wanted to go back to those days when she took care of everything for him. While raising her hand to tie up her hair, she said, “I’ll order delivery later.” She needed to hurry up to finish her script, so she was thinking of a plain take-out for lunch. Since the arrival of the two cats in the house, she had been feeling that her time wasn’t enough. Before this, she could use all her time to write her script, but now she had to take care of the cats and spend
time with them. It was especially so for Minnie; she needed to spend more time with it to bond with it. When Trevor heard the word ‘delivery’, he started to feel upset. “Didn’t you like to cook last time? Why do I feel like you’re just simply eating anything nowadays?” He realized that she had stopped cooking after returning. “I’m too busy to cook.” Emma didn’t feel like it was anything worth mentioning. “I have a script to rush, and there are cats that I need to take care of now.” When she said that, Trevor stood there, not moving an inch and growing melancholy, as he knew clearly that Emma was not anything like the old her. Even if they got back together in the future, they wouldn’t be the same as before. He also wouldn’t be able to have the life where he had every tiny bit attended to by her anymore since she had her own job and business now, and he wasn’t his whole world anymore. At this thought, he didn’t know whether to feel upset or happy for her. In the end, he chose to leave. “I should show myself out then.” Emma was just waiting for him to leave, so she sent him out happily. When Trevor was standing outside the door, he felt reluctant again after some thought. So, he said again, “For the sake of the cat that I gave you, shouldn’t you be buying me a meal?” Hearing that, she was speechless, as this was the first time she was requested to buy a meal for the person who voluntarily bought her a gift. Therefore, she replied with a smile, “I thought you bought it for me as a reward for getting the adaptation right of Mr. Wilson’s script.” At this moment, Trevor didn’t know what to say anymore. From whom did she learn to be this malicious, sharp-tongued, and adroit? He lowered his gaze and stared at her before saying with dissatisfaction, “Why can’t you just buy me a meal?” After some thought, Emma said, “President Zurich said that he’d be back in a few days. You can join us for the celebration dinner.” Hearing that, he didn’t want to bother her anymore, so he turned and left snappishly.
Emma felt that their relationship now of being business partners and friends was just right now. As to what Trevor said about being in love with her and wanting to get her back, she was ready to reject him regardless of whether it was the truth. The focus in her life now was her business, and now a cat was added to the list. When Emma was done writing the script for ‘The Love Story of Imperial Consort Rose’, she was going to start writing ‘In Search of You’. She had one job after another, so she didn’t have the time to date any person. When Wesley was having a video call with Emma, he found out that there was another cat with her. He remained silent for quite some time after knowing that the cat was from Trevor. After a while, he said bitterly, “Emma, I think Mr. Bateson is… serious about it this time.” Hearing that, she chuckled softly. “It doesn’t matter whether he’s serious or not. I won’t be considering it now.” After some thought, Wesley said again, “I’ll go back tomorrow. Since you have a new cat now, I don’t think it’s so good to leave Kitty there.” Emma said hastily, “It’s okay. I can take care of both of them.” “I’m going back for other things too.” Then, he added with a frown, “Zola called me a few days ago, telling me that she wanted to leave Alpha Productions. I’m not against this since she’ll have a better future if she can go higher. I’ll be wishing her well too.” “But when I asked about her new workplace, she said that she’ll be going to Crystal’s company.” At this moment, worry was written all over his face. “Crystal and her company offer no opportunities for advancement. So, I’m going back to meet Zola and try my best to convince her.” “True. You can already see it in Crystal’s character. If Zola goes to Crystalite Entertainment, she won’t have any future development.” Emma agreed with what he said. While shaking his head, Wesley continued, “Although Zola doesn’t have a good character as well, I’m the one who brought her into this industry after all. So, I still feel like I should take up some responsibility for her future.”
“When she was in Alpha Productions, she didn’t dare go overboard, as I was there to stop her. But once she goes to Crystal’s company, she’ll definitely chime in easily with Crystal and stir a mess in this industry together.” “Zola attained fame through the book and drama in the beginning. Although I knew that she still had some shortcomings, I still brought her into the industry, hoping to let her humble down and learn diligently to improve herself. I wanted her to have a place to stand in the writing industry. Who knew that she would keep resting on her laurels and get proud after she felt that she had stepped into the writing industry? What she did at the back was even more indescribable.” When talking about Zola, even a gentleman like Wesley couldn’t say anything good about her. “If she had half of your humbleness and earnestly, she wouldn’t be what she’s like now.” In the end, he added in frustration, “I’ll go back to convince her not to go to Crystal’s company. If she doesn’t listen, then there’s nothing more I can do. In the meantime, I’ll take Kitty back tomorrow, so you can focus on writing your script.” Taking care of a pet wasn’t an easy job because it was just like taking care of a kid. Especially when the cat that Trevor bought Emma was still a kitten, so she needed to put more energy into taking care of it. Wesley wasn’t willing to trouble her, so he could only take his cat back. Emma could only accept it since he had already made the decision.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
