Please Come Back, Honey!

Chapter 46

Chapter 46 Emma met Trevor’s compelling gaze and countered with another question. “Weren’t you also the unwilling party? Why did you marry me?” Trevor’s expression stiffened slightly, but he immediately responded, “Grandpa forced me to.” She lowered her eyes and replied lightly, “The same goes for me. My father and my brother forced me to.” He did not know the reason why, but listening to her answer left a bad taste in his heart. Looking down, he stared at her lowered cyes and her demure but beautiful face. Then, he subconsciously blurted out a question. “Then, when you claimed to love me, were those lics?” She laughed when she heard those words because he probably never realized that they were from the same college. Trevor was a famous senior, a renowned alumni, and a successful businessman. Hence, he was invited to attend and give a speech at the school celebration one fine year. It was easy for a handsome man with an clegant temperament that stood out from the crowd to attract the attention of the girls and make them fall in love with him. Emma had been one of those girls. She sat below the stage and looked up at the dazzling man with admiration in her eyes. There was a part during the school celebration where he presented the awards to the outstanding students. She had always been an excellent student, so she was one of the students who went up the stage to receive an award. When he was presenting the award to her, his fingertips accidentally brushed against her hand. At the time, her heart was pounding like crazy and her adrniration turned into love in an instant. Regardless of how much she liked him, she knew that he was way out of her league. That was why she buried her feelings at the bottom of her heart. Just as she was about to graduate from college, she was set up by her father and brother. It was not until much later that she discovered the man turned out to be Trevor. He was the person she yearned for, loved, and wanted to marry even in her dreams. Therefore,

she did not object when her father and brother went to the Bateson Residence to demand that Trevor take her as his wife. To be honest, she could have escaped if she did not wish to marry. Susanna had already prepared an escape route for her. It was just that the other party was Trevor, so Emma chose to stay and marry him. She believed that they would fall in love with each other after spending a long time together. She also believed that he would one day understand her feelings if she used her sincerity to warm his heart. Unfortunately, the ending did not go as she wished. Bringing up the past no longer caused Emma’s heart to ripple in pain. They had already gotten a divorce, so was the point of telling him about her silly crush? For that reason, she looked up at him when she finally stopped laughing and enunciated each word clearly. “That’s right. They were all lies. You never loved me. The truth is I never loved you either. What I loved was the wealth and power that belonged to you and the Bateson Family.” As soon as the words left her mouth, Trevor’s hand immediately reached out to grasp her lower jaw. Flames of anger were practically spitting out from the depths of his eyes. “Are you finally admitting your hypocrisy? Are you finally admitting that you were greedy for wealth?” Her lower jaw hurt from his rough grip. It hurt so much that tears instantly sprang into her eyes from the pain. When he saw her eyes that were reddened with tears, his heart softened inexplicably and his hand relaxed his grip on her lower jaw. Contrary to his expectations, the words that came out of her mouth were extremely aggravating despite the tears in her eyes. “Mr. Bateson, you’ve already divorced me and severed our ties. It doesn’t matter if I admit anything now.” The urge to strangle Emma surged up in his heart. Pretentious woman! D*mn liar! She stepped around Trevor, walked over to open the front door, and turned back to look at him, who was blue in the face with anger. “Mr. Bateson, have you finished asking your questions? It’s getting late and I want to get some rest.”

Trevor turned around and left in a fit of rage, slamming the door behind him with a resounding crash. Emma felt that he was simply being unreasonable. Hasn’t he always thought of me as a shallow person who coveted his wealth and riches? Why is he angry when I have finally conceded to his accusations? For some reason, the confrontation between them gave her a sudden burst of inspiration for the script. She quickly ran over to her computer and furiously typed out the new idea. The next morning, Emma had only just woken up when Wesley’s call came in. Wesley tentatively asked her through the phone, “Did Trevor visit you last night?” She was very surprised. How did he know that Trevor came to visit her? It happened so late at night after all. Nevertheless, she answered truthfully. “Yes.” Wesley asked again, “Did you make him angry?” . Thinking back to how hard Trevor slammed the door during his departure, she nodded. “I think so. Did something happen?” He sighed and explained, “He came to me early in the morning, saying that he wanted to change the script so that the male protagonist remained together with his cherished lover and the original official queen consort is divorced instead.” Then, he continued, “Everything had been discussed before, and it was decided that we should proceed with the current plot that you conceived. However, he suddenly requested to change the script. That’s why I was wondering whether he met you after the dinner party, and things turned into an unpleasant quarrel Emma was speechless. Isn’t Trevor being too immature? Just because I annoyed him, he is making things difficult by forcing me to change the script. Wesley was clearly very troubled too. “His behavior is pulling us in too much of a passive stance. I’m going to talk to him in person. If there’s no way for us to work together on good terms, then we should just end the cooperation.” Although many revisions would be made to the script during the production of a drama series, it was rare to see a situation in which the screenwriter was punished due to personal affairs, like what TrevorThis content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

did. Most importantly, his request would require the entire script to be modified completely. It was much too difficult. Emma quickly stopped Wesley. “President Zurich, there’s no need for that.” While speaking, she ran into her study and turned on her computer. “I had a new idea for the script last night and it happens to meet Mr. Bateson’s requirements. I’ll organize the documents and send them to you right away.” Wesley was shocked. “Is that true? An ending where the male protagonist ends up with the cherished lover forever?” She replied easily, “That’s right. I wrote the rough draft at one go last night and even polished it up. There was no describing how delighted he was. “So, Mr. Bateson is deliberately making things difficult for you, but you easily resolved the problem?” She smiled mischievously. “You can say that.” On the other side of the phone, he couldn’t contain himself and burst into glceful laughter. What kind of crazy drama is this: Once Emma finishes preparing the document, how wonderful will Trevor’s expression be when I toss the brand-new script in front of him?! It was refreshing just to think about the scene. To be honest, Wesley had never expected Trevor to be so selfish. Causing trouble for Emma at work just because of a personal grudge with her was not the way Trevor usually operated, but that was exactly what Trevor had done. I wonder what Trevor is thinking. Does he still have affection for Emma after their divorce? Or, is he making things difficult for her out of hatred as usual? He couldn’t shake the feeling that the former was the main reason.
