Please Come Back, Honey!

Chapter 116

Chapter 116
Emma quickly explained, “No. It isn‘t real. If we pretend to be a couple, we have to be intimate to make it look real, especially in the hospital.”
After Emma explained the situation, she asked worriedly, “Is my face photographed?”
She had just recovered from the cusp of the storm some time ago. If she was photographed holding hands with Wesley this time, she would be bashed heavily.
Although Wesley had fewer projects on screen in recent years and mainly focused on operating the company behind the scenes, his popularity did not decline. If her face was exposed, she would definitely be torn apart online by Wesley‘s fans.
However, she had to admit that Wesley was considerate.
He worried that if she was photographed, it would affect her normal life, so he told her to take protective measures in advance!
Therefore, she wore a bucket hat with a large brim and a mask to cover herself.
“You covered up so well! How is it possible to photograph your face? Only people who know you will be able to tell it‘s you by your figure,” said Susanna.
Emma breathed a sigh of relief. “That‘s great.”
As a screenwriter, she just wanted to write her own stories silently, not wanting to be involved in the scandals among the celebrities at all.
However, she did not expect that she would be involved in a scandal with Wesley.
When Susanna asked about Wesley‘s mother‘s condition, Emma told the truth.
Susanna was sad to hear the news. “Why would there be life and death in this world? It hurts so much.”
In fact, it was a known fact that birth, aging, illness, and death were the cycle of human nature. When the day came, humans could only try to accept reality.
Susanna added, “Trevor called me and asked me where you were. I purposely hinted to him that you and Wesley were really together.”
Emma was dumbfounded.
“I just tried to provoke him. He‘s at fault for being such a jerk!” Susanna snorted.
She then warned, “You better not clarify with him, saying that you and Wesley are
just in a pretend relationship.”
“Why should I clarify with him?” Emma uttered helplessly.
If she took the initiative to clarify with Trevor, wouldn‘t he believe that she still had any lingering feelings for him?
It was better that he mistook her for being in a relationship with Wesley. Only then would they be able to completely draw the line.
“Good,” Susanna gloated.
“I think his mood instantly worsened after I hinted at him, so he hung up the call withoui saying a word.”
Emma frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, “That‘s just him being arrogant. He hangs up the phone whenever he wants to. You probably just mistook his bad mood.”
Susanna did not agree and denied, “My intuition has always been accurate.”
Trevor was indeed annoyed.
“Don‘t provoke him anymore in the future, or we won‘t have a peaceful day to spare,” said Emma.
Susanna had no choice but to agree, “Okay.”
The two chatted for a little longer before hanging up the phone. Only then did Emma read the article between her and Wesley on the Internet.
This incident was already all over Twitter, and it even topped the trending list. Apparently, Wesley‘s influence was still huge in the industry.
The hot search keywords were–Wesley‘s mysterious girlfriend, Wesley‘s critically–ill mother, and Mysterious woman in the ward.
The replies section was filled with speculations and theories which eventually concluded that she was Wesley‘s real girlfriend. Otherwise, she would not have appeared in the hospital at such a time.
The attached photo was of her holding hands with Wesley in the hospital corridor. Fortunately, her hat was pulled so low that her face was not visible at all.
Emma put away the phone and continued working without reading the comments or speculating on what outsiders would say about her.
Since they were pretending to be a couple, she did not care about others‘ opinions.
On the other end, Trevor was just done showering when he saw a bunch of messages that were all sent by Zachary in their group chat.
The four people in the group were him, Zachary, Kaleb, and Raymond, and their group name was Jonestown F4.
Zachary was the one who came up with the group name, and when Trevor saw it for the first time, he almost exited the group.
‘Have you seen what‘s trending? Are Emma and Wesley together?‘ Zachary asked.
Kaleb and Raymond were speechless.
Soon, Raymond added, “Trevor asked me to issue a lawyer‘s letter for Emma before this. Is it all in vain now?‘
Zachary then commented, ‘I was rooting for him and was waiting to see how he wins her heart back, but she left for another man before he could do it.‘
After Zachary finished his sentence, he also sent a series of laughing emojis, making Trevor want to dig the former‘s heart out and stomp it on the ground.
‘I saw it trending, but I‘m still in shock. I can‘t believe it‘s true, Kaleb chimed in.
Pointing out the obvious, Zachary mentioned, ‘They held hands, for goodness sake! It‘s difficult not to believe it.’
After Trevor read the bunch of texts, he immediately looked at the trending list with an unbelievable expression. The photo of Wesley holding Emma‘s hand had such a huge impact on him that he plopped on the bed dejectedly.
After taking another look at the photo, he zoomed in to confirm that the two were really holding hands.
All of a sudden, he felt something sharp stabbing his chest hard. It was unbearably painful.
Perhaps, Emma used to be so committed to him that he could not believe that she could be with other men even after their divorce.
However, the picture of them holding hands…
Raising his hand to ruffle his black hair in frustration, Trevor took a cigarette and went to the balcony to smoke.
While the group chat was still vibrating with the income of their messages, Zachary tagged him and asked him out of concern, ‘Are you okay, @Trevor?‘
Kaleb added, ‘I don‘t know about him, but I don‘t feel good about it!
Zachary and Raymond both knew what Kaleb meant. He could not accept the fact that Emma had given up on Trevor and gone for another man.
Even as outsiders, they felt uncomfortable about it, not to mention Trevor, the party involved.
Trevor replied in the group while smoking, ‘Why are you guys so nosy?‘
Even during this situation, he pretended like he wasn‘t affected at all in front of his friends.
Without saying anything, Raymond sent a thumbs–up emoji to praise his good altitude.
Zachary then replied, ‘You‘ve drawn the line with Crystal, and Emma has a new boyfriend. How about I introduce you to other women?‘
Trevor bit the cigarette butt and replied with a sullen look, ‘I‘m not interested!
He killed the joy in the chatroom with a mere sentence. No one knew what to reply, so the group chat went silent.
After a long while, Trevor proposed after he was done smoking, ‘Let‘s meet up for drinks.’
Zachary was the first to respond. ‘If you drown your sorrows with alcohol, it‘ll only get worse.
Trevor was speechless in an instant.
‘Who the fuck drinks alcohol to relieve their worries?’ Trevor questioned.
Zachary sent a few laughing emojis before replying, ‘See you at the usual spot.
Kaleb was unable to attend their gathering because he had to work overtime. Hence, Raymond, who had a lovely wife and seldom attended their parties, agreed to join them.
It was obvious that everyone knew that Trevor needed comfort and company, even if he stubbornly refused to admit his sadness.
