Please Come Back, Honey!

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 All of a sudden, Emma began to question the reason why she had remained so determined throughout the past three years. “I got it.” She turned to leave the bathroom thereafter. Though her back figure seemed rather pitiful, there was also a hint of firmness as she strode off. Trevor instinctively took a step forward, but his gaze quickly darkened as he recalled all of the tricks that she had used on him. … The party was still ongoing, but Emma was no longer in the mood for it. She fixed her makeup a little before telling the old man that she was heading home and that she had asked the driver to send her back. Am I giving up right now? she wondered as she hopped into the car. She still felt rather dazed after what had happened. Crystal is pregnant and Trevor would never allow his biological offspring to become an illegitimate child. So, that means he’ll get a divorce with me eventually. I guess that’s the end of it all. We started off nice and happy, and we ended in a somewhat decent manner that does justice to our marriage. She showered and went to bed after getting home. As she was half asleep, she could feel someone biting her lips firmly. The man’s actions were with the intention of both seduction and punishment. His familiar scent told Emma that it was Trevor in bed with her. Is he back? Perhaps Crystal doesn’t have time for him today. Well, that would make sense. She’s newly pregnant, right? She shoved the man off of her before turning the nightlights on. Then, she fixed her messy pajamas while landing her bare feet on the ground and standing up from the bed. Trevor was sitting on the edge of the bed with only half his face illuminated by the nightlight. “Let’s get a divorce, Trevor,” she uttered in a dry tone. “Are you done fooling around?” Trevor’s face was filled with annoyance and displeasure. He had been on a trip for the past few days, so he was desperate for his bodily needs to be met. Emma’s body had instinctively responded to his touch earlier and he was already in too deep for him to hold himself back from making love. Therefore, he felt like he was in agony the moment she pushed him away; her rejection felt like some sort of tactic to him. Emma took a deep breath to contain the ache she felt in her heart before she repeated her words once more. “I’m being serious. Let’s get a divorce.” His expression darkened upon the mention of this. He straightened his posture and narrowed his eyes while he looked at the womanThis content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

and questioned her. “Are you sure?” She pressed her lips without saying much; her silence seemed to convey her message without the use of language. He curled his lips into a scornful smile before snarking at her, “Allow me to remind you of your father and your useless brother’s company. Their business hasn’t seen any return at all and they would’ve already been bankrupt if it wasn’t for the Batesons’ support all this while.” Emma’s figure wavered as she felt blood rushing to her face. She was ashamed by what he had just said as it was, in fact, true. She would not have been sent to Trevor’s bed if it was not for her father and brother’s terrible company. In the past three years, she had always attempted to explain this matter to Trevor, but he did not believe a word from her mouth as he was confident that she was guilty of her tricks. “Forget it. I’ve sold myself to you for three years, which has kept them afloat for all those critical years. I’ve done more than enough for them.” “Are you saying that these three years meant nothing to you? That it was all just a business transaction?” A raging storm gathered behind Trevor’s eyes. “What else would it be?” Emma looked at him teary-eyed. “You have someone else you like; we’re not emotionally connected in any way, heck, the only connection we have is a sexual and physical one! Don’t you feel like I’m just an item you bought three years ago?” “Great! Perfect!” Trevor gritted his teeth while speaking in a chilly tone. “What about you, Emma? Are you willing to give up on this luxurious life? I’ve given you everything aside from love,” he voiced. The sneering and scornful tone he used earlier had triggered Emma to appear harsher and stubborn than ever. So, she held her chin high as her gorgeous facial features stood out. “Thank you for the reminder. I am very well capable and healthy, so I’m sure I won’t starve to death even if that means that I’ll have to wash toilets!” She knew that Christopher Bateson was the only one in the family who genuinely liked her.
