Chapter 102
Back then, Emma was dressed in a red dress. Even her lips were in a shade of bewitching red, and there was decisiveness in her eyes.
Since then, Trevor had been instinctively disgusted by women who wore bright clothes or red lipstick.
He felt that Emma was making him insane!
The main reason was that throughout the three years they had been together, Emma usually wore light and gentle makeup, as well as casual and refreshing outfits.
It was fine if she dressed up all dazzling in front of him.
However, she dumped him a divorce agreement in front of so many people at that time. Besides losing his pride, it also cast a shadow on his heart.
When Zachary felt Trevor‘s glare, he quickly raised his hands in a surrendering position and apologized, “I was wrong. Sorry, I shouldn‘t have mentioned it.”
Only then did Trevor‘s expression soften a little.
With that, the three continued having dinner. Seeing Trevor constantly checking his phone, Zachary asked in confusion, “Is there an urgent matter?”
“What do you mean?” inquired Trevor
Zachary pointed to his phone. “You keep looking at your phone like you have an appointment with someone else.”
Trevor was silent.
Could he tell them that he was waiting for Emma‘s message?
Since he exaggerated tonight, Emma should have felt his anger. Why didn‘t she even bother to text him and ask if he was fine?
Despite keeping his hopes high, there was nothing to be heard from her.
“It‘s nothing.” Facing Zachary‘s question, Trevor could only reply as such. Zachary and Kaleb exchanged glances with each other, but neither of them said anything
After dinner, Trevor drove off first, while Zachary left with Kaleb.
After pondering, Kaleb sighed, “He doesn‘t seem to accept that Emma was indifferent to what happened tonight.”
Obviously, Zachary and Kaleb knew the reason why Trevor frequently checked his phone.
Leaning against the car lazily, Zachary uttered, “He still doesn‘t seem to realize that Emma is serious about treating him as a stranger.”
“He keeps thinking that Emma still cares about him.”
Kaleb spread his hands. “Will he really find out that he‘s into her only when she starts seeing another man?” Zachary said helplessly, “Who knows.”
Kaleb sighed. “That would be too late.”
Perhaps, Emma had behaved too humbly in front of Trevor, giving him the misconception that she would always stay by his side.
Therefore, Trevor was keeping his arrogant attitude up as of now.
He waited patiently for the whole night in vain as Emma did not even send him a text. Only then did he suddenly realize that Emma did not seem to care whether he was angry or not.
That was because she did not care about him anymore, so she was not concerned about his feelings.
Unlike before, his joys and sorrows would easily affect her emotions.
On the other hand, Emma was not only unconcerned whether Trevor was angry, but she was also infuriated because of Trevor‘s rudeness. Initially, her impression of him had changed greatly when he started helping her out by settling her bank statement and helping her drive away Steven and Simon.
Despite that, when he slammed the door and strode out last night, her impression of him turned negative again. Vi
Sure enough, he was not able to change his arrogant and domineering nature no matter what.
On Saturday night, Emma attended the dinner event with Wesley.
The dress she wore was chosen by Susanna. It was a simple yet elegant black dress with a low cut on the back, but it was not too revealing.
Susanna said that her back was smooth, fair, and slim, so she suggested Emma show it a little
It was not to attract anyone, but just to show off her beauty.
Emina took Susanna‘s suggestion. Every woman wanted to be beautiful in front of others, and she was no exception.
Susanna had sharp features which were eye–catching, and she had a curvy figure, so she could easily pull off a gown of any color. Tonight, she wore a gold sequined dress, making her look like an absolute queen.
Emma described her as a fighter among female stars. Whoever stood by her side would be oppressed.
Since the drama she starred in with Adam was still airing on TV, she and Adam were each other‘s plus ones in attending the event.
To be frank, Susanna hated the idea of being in a scandal with other male celebrities, but she could not beat reality.
It was a norm in the entertainment industry. Once the drama they starred in was being broadcasted, the male and female lead actors would usually be stirred up in a scandal to drive the drama‘s popularity,
They would attend events together, attend banquets together, host live broadcasts together, and shoot magazines together unless the actors were married.
Single people like her and Adam would definitely be the targets of a scandal.
Emma felt a headache after knowing she would see Adam. The last time she saw him, he was involved in hitting someone because of her, so she felt apologetic to him.
When netizens started canceling her before this, Adam called her and decided that he would publicly express his support to her.
Emma was so frightened that she persuaded him for a long time until he was willing to hold back.
If Adam spoke up for her publicly on Twitter, she would be bashed even more severely. By then, she might not just hcar a few scoldings but would be torn apart by Adam‘s fans.
Susanna smiled. “Why would you be afraid of facing him? Just enjoy the affection lover boy showers you with.”
Hearing that, Emma was a little helpless, but Susanna added, “Also, I think this is just the beginning.”
Emma was puzzled. “What?”
Susanna wrapped her arms around Emma‘s shoulders and looked into the mirror where Emma‘s reflection was shown. In the black dress, Emma looked stunning. Susanna uttered earnestly, “This is just the beginning of having men pursuing you. There will be many more later on. You have to learn to be calm.”
“Have you forgotten how popular you were in school?” Susanna rested her chin on Emma‘s shoulder and sighed while recalling the past, “In high school, boys who courted you lined up until the school gates, and it was worse in university!”
“If you hadn‘t given your heart to Trevor, you could‘ve gotten a boy who truly cares and loves you. Every time I think about how Trevor treated you, I feel so bad for you.”
Emma had a beautiful and innocent appearance with a gentle and soft temperament. She was the campus crush that many boys dreamed of.
In addition to that, she was also very talented. She often published articles in school newsletters and read her articles for the school radio, which attracted the favor of many teenage boys.
Back in school, Susanna was the pretty girl while Emma was the innocent girl, so they used to be famous on campus.
In the eyes of inany boys who admired Emma, she was as precious as a treasure to them.
In spite of that, Trevor treated her like trash when she was with him. Whenever Susanna thought of it, she would scoff at him.
Emma‘s thoughts drifted along with Susanna‘s words, and she recalled the days when many boys used to fall head over heels for her.
Back then, she was confident, sunny, and bright.
Once she met Trevor, however, all her self–confidence was gone.
Still, she was relieved.
When she looked at herself in the mirror, she smiled softly and said to Susanna, “I loved him, but I don‘t regret it, and I respect the ending of our story.”
She loved him sincerely and sacrificed for him. Although they did not end well, she was not guilty and would not be bitter about it.
“You‘re so generous.” Susanna did not know what else to say about her, so she complained about Trevor instead. “Trevor must have saved the galaxy in his last life
to have such an understanding ex–wife like you.”
Emma laughed out loud at Susanna‘s words.
There were plenty of things and people who were more interesting than men and love in this world.
