Please Come Back, Honey! Chapter 156

Trevor followed Emma into the elevator to go downstairs, and Emma asked him in frustration, “Are you this free?” With a frown, Trevor answered in a disgruntled tone, “I’m the one who bought Minnie. Why can’t I go see it?” At this moment, Emma didn’t know what to say. If she knew he would keep contacting her because of the cat he gave her, she wouldn’t have accepted Minnie from the beginning. But now, she couldn’t say that she didn’t want Minnie anymore. Being a pet person, Emma was in love with the adorable cat. Just like humans’ appearance had different standards, cats’ were the same too. She didn’t know where Trevor had bought such a beautiful and cute cat. Emma was actually in the good looks club as well, which was why she was attracted to Trevor’s face in the first place. How could she not be attracted to this beautiful little creature? Also, she felt that Minnie’s personality was quite like hers—quiet, slow to warm up, and peaceful. So, when she looked at Minnie, she felt as though she was looking at her old self. She felt sorry and pitied it. Because of these complex emotions that she felt for Minnie, she couldn’t leave them at all. Since Trevor insisted on following her back to see Minnie, she left together with him in his car. While driving, he said, “I’ve heard everything you said to Crystal.” Hearing his sudden comment, Emma remained quiet. She thought that he didn’t hear her, but he actually heard everything. It made sense that she started blushing instantly and felt extremely She was already so awkward, but he still kept teasing her. “I didn’t know that you remember so clearly about us, especially about that.” She then wound down the car window to let the wind outside cool her face before stammering, “I said that just to get back at Crystal…” Of course, Trevor knew that she said that to attack Crystal, but he still wanted to tease her to see her blushing and shy face. He really didn’t want to see her cold face anymore.

Then, he asked her again, “Why did you think of crushing Crystal today?” He rushed to the café early in the morning and watched their argument from the back, as he was worried that she would do nothing and get bullied by Crystal again. So, he went there to make sure that he could stand up for her immediately when Crystal really bullied her. But it was totally out of his expectation that she could take down Crystal on her own, leaving Crystal with no words to rebuke and leave in a mess. While looking down, Emma explained calmly, “I just couldn’t take it anymore.” In other words, Crystal really touched Emma’s bottom line when she stole her script with some dirty tricks. “Don’t you feel sorry for her?” she counter-questioned him. When Trevor heard that, the accumulated rage in him nearly exploded. He tightened his grip on the wheel and turned to glare at her before yapping, “Are you trying to piss me off?!” Curious, she asked, “For real. I just don’t understand. I thought you were really in love with Crystal, but why are you suddenly not marrying her?” The moment she returned, the news about him going to marry Crystal was circulating all around, but then he broke up with Crystal all of a sudden. “Who said that I was in love with her?” Disgruntled, he asked her again. Emma was confused. “You don’t? Didn’t you start dating her because you loved her?” At this moment, Trevor was speechless. Can I tell her that I wasn’t serious when I was dating Crystal? He dated Crystal because she was perfectly suited to be the Bateson Family’s lady, and his parents liked her as well. So, it wasn’t anything like Emma said, that he loved Crystal. Only then he realized that he merely wanted a woman to be the Bateson Family’s lady in the past, but now all he wanted was the woman whom he loved. It didn’t matter whether the woman was fit to be the lady of the Bateson Family or not; he didn’t care, for he just wanted her. But Trevor knew that if he said he didn’t like Crystal, Emma would think that he was a cruel person since he almost married her, and now he was saying that he didn’t like her. On the other hand, if he didn’t explain, it would seem as though he was really in love with Crystal. All in all, he felt that no problem he faced in the business industry was more difficult than this one now.

In the end, after some consideration, he finally found the right word to answer her. “My relationship with her is not as deep as you think.” Afraid that she wouldn’t believe him, he further explained, “I didn’t even touch her…” Hearing his answer, Emma looked away and questioned, “Why does not touching her mean that you didn’t have a deep relationship with her?” After a moment of silence, he replied to her calmly, “Familiarity breeds fondness, no?” At least, that was the case for him and Emma. Only after being stunned for a moment did Emma understand what Trevor meant by ‘familiarity breeds fondness’. No wonder he purposely emphasized the first word. Instantly, she was provoked and was gnashing her teeth in anger. Then, she glared at him before looking outside the window. He had been speaking more and more shamelessly since some point in time. Seeing her like this, Trevor couldn’t help curling up the corners of his mouth. When they reached Emma’s place, Wesley’s cat, Kitty, was the first thing that came out once they opened the door. Maybe because the cat’s personality was the same as its owner that when Kitty saw Trevor, it instantly meowed at him as though it wasn’t happy for him to be here. Of course, Trevor didn’t like Kitty either, since he disliked Wesley. This was what it meant by ‘when you hate someone, you’ll hate everything around them’. However, Emma had already bent down and hugged the cat gently. Seeing that, Trevor didn’t feel good as he felt like she was hugging Wesley. At this thought, he glared at the cat and walked into the house after changing his shoes. “When will Wesley be back? Ask him to quickly bring his cat back.” Emma answered casually, “He definitely won’t be back so soon.” Hearing that, Trevor was growing annoyed. Wesley was really good at mind games. He knew for sure that Emma liked little animals, so he thought of a way to get her heart by using his own cat when he couldn’t be by her side in person.

Luckily, Trevor wasn’t an easy opponent, either. He sent a cat over to her immediately to fight with Wesley’s cat for attention. But the cat that he gave her looked like it was a coward, as he couldn’t see it anywhere after entering the house. “Where’s Minnie?” he couldn’t help asking her. “I think it’s under the couch.” After spending some time with Minnie yesterday, Emma had already gotten a hold of its personality. Maybe it was because of its slow-to-warm-up personality, or maybe it was because there was another cat in the house, but Minnie spent most of her time hiding under the couch or behind the shelf when she wasn’t eating, drinking, or pissing. Trevor was exasperated by Minnie’s cowardice. He bent down and was going to drag it out from below the couch. Why is this cat so disappointing? How can there be space in the arms of this gentle and beautiful owner when it hides all the time? Since he was at a disadvantage currently when compared to Wesley, he really hoped that Minnie could win Emma’s heart as soon as possible, but it was acting so timidly now.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
