Please Come Back, Honey! novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52

Cerys, who had always maintained her composure, was so shocked by Susanna‘s revelation that Wesley was interested in Emma that she forgot to eat.

After she came back to her senses, the first thing she did was to report her latest discovery to Trevor. However, she noticed that Emma was calm and did not take Susanna‘s words to heart at all.

Even Emma made fun of Susanna and told her, “Don‘t listen to her nonsense; she likes to play matchmaker.”

Emma did not believe Wesley was interested in her; how could a man like Wesley, an idol-like goddess, fall in love with her, an ordinary scriptwriter?

Plus, she was traumatized after Trevor hurt her, making her subconsciously avoid charismatic men who were similar to Trevor.

Susanna did not like Emma‘s cowardly behavior. “Emma, you need to get over your fears. Not all charming men are players like Trevor.”

Cerys was speechless upon hearing that.

Is it even appropriate for them to insult my boss right in front of me?

“Am I right, Cherry?” As Susanna spoke to Emma, she asked for Cerys‘ opinion.

Cerys‘ heart started to beat wildly when she heard Susanna call her Cherry. An attractive yet rebellious face of a man appeared in her mind.

Lowering her gaze, she murmured, “It‘s kinda true that most handsome men are players.”

That man was a player too, but that did not stop Cerys from liking him because she could not control her feelings for him.

She wanted to be rational and stop liking him, but she could not control what her heart desired.

While Cerys was immersed in her thoughts, the doorbell rang.

Susanna went to get the door. It was Wesley. He came into her house with a bottle of red wine in his hand.

Both Emma and Cerys were surprised by his sudden appearance, but Susanna seemed to be just fine.

1/5

Wesley smiled and stated, “I just got off from work and saw Cerys‘ car parked on Susanna‘s porch. I figured that you girls are having dinner, so I bought a boltle of wine for all of you.”

Emma and Cerys got up from their seats quickly to thank him. It did not appear to them that Wesley came with the intention to stay for dinner, but out of courtesy, they had to invite him to stay as he gifted them a bottle of wine. Hence, Wesley could only take his seat as it was difficult for him to turn down their generous offer. Susanna had arranged for him to be seated close to Emma.

Cerys soon reported this somewhat ambiguous scene to Trevor by heading to the restroom.

After she reported this, she sent a text that read, ‘Mr. Bateson, I‘m going to focus on my meal now. It‘s not nice to be on my phone all the time!

Hence, Trevor stopped receiving texts from Cerys.

The mood of the four–person dinner was quite pleasant with three girls and a handsome gentleman.

Cerys did not talk much. She had been observing the table quietly and found that Wesley indeed cared about Emma.

He‘d peel shrimp for Emma, serve her soup, pour her wine, and even move her chair out of the way when she stood up.

It made Cerys think that Wesley would be a strong rival to Trevor, should the latter still have any lingering feelings for Emma.

Wesley‘s looks and temperament were on par with Trevor‘s, but the most important thing was that Wesley knew how to take good care of Emma.

When Trevor and Emma were still married back then, Emma had always been the one to take care of Trevor, while Trevor never took the initiative to do the same for her.

From a woman‘s perspective, Cerys felt that it was more likely for Emma to choose Wesley

Cerys was worried throughout the entire dinner because she was worried about her

boss.

Toward the end of the dinner, Emma glanced at her phone.

She received a text from an unknown number on WhatsApp. Emma frowned after reading the text because it read, ‘Hi. It‘s Trevor

A year ago, they deleted each other‘s contact after the divorce, and she had even changed her phone number. She wondered why Trevor had texted her now.

Emma ignored his text, kept her phone away, and continued eating.

Is there a need for divorced couples to stay in touch?

.

Cerys, who was by Emma‘s side, noticed that Emma did not look at her phone for quite some time. She could not help but say softly, “Emma, Mr. Bateson said he has something important to tell you.”

Cerys was trying to remind Emma to reply to Trevor‘s text.

Smiling innocently, Emma asked, “Why can‘t he just call me?”

She was trying to say that Trevor could just talk to her on the phone. They didn‘t need to text each other on WhatsApp.

Cerys opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but she just lowered her gaze in the end and sent a text to Trevor, telling him what Emma said.

After a moment, Trevor replied to her.

Cerys quickly passed the message to Emma. “Mr. Bateson said that your things are still at his place. He wants you to make time to go over and take them.”

Back then, Emma left the country the same day the couple divorced.

Indeed, all of her things were still in the house where she used to stay with Trevor. She did not want those things back and thought he had thrown them away long ago.

After all, Emma knew that Trevor loathed her a lot and that he would probably clear all the traces she left behind in his house as soon as they divorced.

It surprised her to hear that Trevor had asked her to go over and take her things back.

However, she felt repelled by the thought of it and said to Cerys, “I don‘t want those things anymore. You can ask him to discard them.”

Cerys passed on the message to Trevor again. A moment later, she showed Emma a photo on her phone. “Mr. Bateson asked if you would like to throw these two albums away too.”

Emma‘s eyes widened when she saw the picture.

She could throw away all her clothes and basic necessities, but not these two albums. They were precious to her as they contained many pictures of Emma and her mother.

I Trevor did not bring this up, Emma would have forgotten about it already.

Once again, Emma looked up at Cerys. After giving it some thought, she said, “Please help me tell Mr. Bateson that he can get it clelivered to Alpha Productions or my place.”

Cerys was still working hard as their middle person, passing on messages from one side to another. After a moment, she said, “Mr. Bateson said he‘ll be at the hospital these few days and can‘t get it delivered to you. You can get it from the house yourself.”

“Mr. Bateson also said that the passcode of the main door is still the one you set. He did not change it.”

“The albums are in his safe, and the passcode... is the same too.”

Emma was at a loss for words when she heard all of this.

Is Trevor nuts? Why didn‘t he change any of the passcodes?

Emma gritted her teeth, then tried to speak in a calm manner. “Could you inform Mr. Bateson that I‘ll be taking the albums tomorrow morning?”

Since Trevor was in the hospital now, Emma wanted to take the opportunity to get her things because she did not want to meet him.

“Okay,” Cerys replied.

Due to Trevor‘s words, Emma felt that she did not have any appetite to eat anymorc.

Emma‘s mood was ruined by the thought of going back to the house they used to live in together tomorrow.

To her, that place was a place filled with happiness but also endless disappointments.

The three years of their marriage started there, and it ended there as well.

Despite the fact that Emma had already moved on from her failed marriage, she knew she would feel nostalgic when she entered the house. For the time being, her only hope was that Trevor had changed the arrangement of the entire house.
