Please Come Back Honey! Chapter 99

Chapter 99

Once Trevor left, Quincy stared blankly at Wesley and asked, “Does this mean... that Mr. Bateson denies that he’s getting married to Crystal?”

There was a taunting smile on Wesley's lips as he said, “It doesn't matter if he admits it or not. Either way, he had let someone slip through his fingers, and he can’t change that.”

It had not escaped Wesley's notice that Trevor seemed to have lingering feelings for his ex-wife. Their divorce had been settled so quickly that Wesley had assumed Trevor would never give Emma a second look.

That being said, Trevor remained haughty and full of himself, and he did not seem to realize that he was still hung up on Emma.

If that were the case, then... Wesley fervently hoped that Trevor remained clueless forever.

Quincy laughed. “Wesley, are you telling me that you and Mr. Bateson have your eyes on the same woman?”

The hostility between them evidently stemmed from conflict over a woman.

Wesley chuckled. “We'll discuss this once I manage to win her over.”

Emma had been caught up in all sorts of rumors and gossip recently. Wesley did not want to burden her with even more trouble.

He had all the time in the world anyway. Emma was working with him now, so he would have plenty of opportunities to get to know her belter.

The two men turned their attention back to the script and the contract. Quincy shared his thoughts about the script, and Wesley jotted them down, intending to pass them on to Emma..

Meanwhile, Trevor remained cranky all day long. Jared called him twice, and Alice called more than three times, but he did not pick up any of their calls.

He was certain that they were calling about Crystal, and he did not want to bother listening to what they had to say.

After leaving a business dinner that night, Trevor instructed his driver to drop him off at Emma’s place.

She did say her cramps were so painful that she could not get out of bed, and since he was collaborating with her on a project, it was reasonable for him to pay her a visit.

When the car drove past a flower shop, he got his driver to make a stop, and he came out with a bouquet of flowers.

During their marriage, Emma was fond of placing fresh flowers around the house. It helped those in the house to feel a lot more relaxed and welcomed.

She poured a lot of time and attention into the decor. In the past, Trevor could not be bothered to notice any of it, but in the year since their divorce, he still kept the house just as she had left it. Once the car pulled up at Emma's place, Trevor sent the driver off before heading up to Emma's floor with the flowers in hand.

This time, Emma was home, so the door opened soon after he knocked.

Emma was startled to find Trevor standing outside her door.

Trevor held the bouquet of flowers out to her with an indifferent expression. He was about to ask if she was feeling any belter when he saw Wesley stepping out of the kitchen with an apron on and asking, “Who is it at the door?”

Trevor stared at Wesley in disbelief. Wesley was dressed in a casual outfit, but he had a feminine apron that was clearly too small for him tied around his waist, and a spatula in his hand as if he was in the middle of cooking something

Wesley's appearance made it seem like he and Emma were a couple staying together.

Trevor got the shock of his life, and even that could barely begin to describe what he was feeling. Wesley was a little staggered 10 see Trevor too, especially when he saw the flowers in his hands. However, he regained his composure almost immediately and stepped forward to greet Trevor on behalf of the still shellshocked Emma. “What a surprise to see you here, Mr. Bateson. Come on in.” Trevor's expression was dark as he swiftly took a step back and retracted his hand that was holding the bouquet of flowers out. He slammed Emma's grill door shut before marching off.

Hah!Why would I go in when she has another man in the house? One who was cooking for her too!What, go in and spend the rest of the night as the third wheel?Go in and watch them be all lovey-dovey with each other?

After taking the elevator down to the first floor, he charged out of the building at once. When he spotted the dumpster outside, he tossed the flowers in without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Emma and Wesley both jumped at the loud clang caused by Trevor aggressively slamming the grill shut.

Emma snapped out of it and grumbled, “What got into him?”

He was the one who came knocking on her door, but when she opened the door for him, he slammed the grill shut and left without even saying anything.

Does he think he’s the king of the land and has the whole world under his command? Does he think he can come and go as he pleases?

Emma had no idea why Trevor was behaving this way, but she found him incredibly disrespectful. Wesley did not seem to think much of it. “Mr. Bateson probably lost control of his emotions once he saw me here in your house.”

Emma did sense that Trevor had let his anger get the best of him, but she did not understand why. "What was there to be mad about? We've been divorced for over a year now. Does he think he has the right to stop me from having friends or forbid me from having dinner with a friend?”

She had been feeling rather weak all day thanks to her menstruation. In the afternoon, Wesley said he wanted to come over and discuss Quincy's suggestions for the script.

Emma did not expect Wesley to come carrying bags of groceries with him. She had planned to order takeout for them to share for dinner, but since he came with his arms loaded with ingredients, she could only agree to let him cook.

She never thought that Trevor would come looking for her with a bouquet, which was why she was dumbstruck when she spotted them after opening the door for him.

That bouquet of flowers was most likely in the trash right now.

Emma did not care for them anyway.

"Don’t think about it anymore. Let's have dinner,” Wesley suggested consolingly.

Emma did not want to dwell on Trevor's impoliteness either, so she turned around and stepped out of the entryway.

There was no denying that Wesley was an expert chef. Emma was a pretty good cook herself, but even then, she had nothing but praises for his cooking

Now that she thought about it, she realized it was her first time experiencing what it was like to have someone else cook for her Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

During her three-year marriage to Trevor, he never set foot in the kitchen. He might not even know where the kitchen was.

She was the one who personally prepared all three meals in that house, and she took care of all the nitty-gritty things in his daily life. Trevor only contributed to the household financially-and in bed. He was the one who put in all the effort when it came to that, so she supposed it counted as a form of contribution.

Apart from those things, Emma had never experienced being cared for by another person. Whenever she was ill, she would visit the doctor by herself and take the medication by herself too. As for her symptoms during menstruation, she never brought them up to Trevor.

If she did, he would have probably dismissed it by saying that she was making a big deal over nothing, so she decided against bringing it up to him at all.

Whenever she was on her period, she would pretend to be fine in front of Trevor, but she would spend the entire day resting at home so that she could feel better by

nighttime.

Then, she would be able to focus on preparing dinner. By the time Trevor came home from work, dinner was ready to be served and he would never know that she had felt unwell that day.

Perhaps it was because she had suffered from her symptoms all day long, but at that moment, she felt extremely moved by the care that Wesley showed her through his

actions.

Il

It was true, after all. A woman would feel a lot more cherished if she was with

a thoughtful and caring man.
