Chapter 171

Wesley had recovered considerably after he was done dealing with Zola, and he went home the next day with his cat.

He was interviewed at the airport, and one of the journalists asked him why he had brought the cat with him instead of letting his girlfriend take care of it.

Wesley smiled gently. "She still has work to do, so I don't want to tire her out."

When Trevor watched Wesley's interview, he almost died when he heard such sweet words coming from that man's mouth and immediately tossed his phone aside.

However, Trevor could finally relax. Now that Wesley was gone, he didn't have to worry about something happening between Wesley and Emma anymore, and he no longer had to be so jealous of Wesley being with Emma either.

Trevor had dinner with Zachary again. Kaleb had a night shift scheduled that day, so he was absent.

Zachary complained to Trevor, "Don't keep asking me out for dinner; you should try and ask Emma out instead."

Trevor rolled his eyes at Zachary. If he could successfully ask Emma out, would he while his time away with Zachary?

If Trevor could ask Emma out, this friend and brother of his would lose all value to him. When that happened, he wouldn't even spare Zachary a glance. Otherwise, the latter would make fun of his situation again.

Zachary pretended not to mind as he said, "By the way, Emma has gone to Kingsford, so you won't be able to ask her out in the next few days even if you want to."

Trevor was shocked. "She went to Kingsford?"

He knew nothing about Emma going there.

Zachary nodded. "Yeah, I saw her Instagram post about letting Susanna take care of the cat you gave her, so I asked her about it. She told me she's going to Kingsford."

Zachary and Kaleb could still get in touch with Emma, so they naturally knew of Emma's whereabouts. Trevor, who was recently blocked, had no idea at all.


He was both shocked and annoyed, and there was also an indescribable sense of defeat in his heart.

In her eyes, he was on a level even lower than Zachary.

Zachary continued, "By the way, you wanted me to look into that mug. From what I've heard, it can no longer be bought. I can only get someone to make a similar mug based on the one in the photo."

Zachary then said with certainty, "You're giving it to Emma, aren't you?"

Trevor couldn't hide the sullen look in his eyes. "Yeah, I broke that mug of hers."

Zachary shrugged. "I don't know what to say to you. I've never seen someone pursue a woman with such difficulty like yours."

Trevor was in the dumps. He never thought that he would face so much trouble in the process of winning Emma's heart back either.

He thought that she still loved him as she did before, and he only needed to show some goodwill for her to return to his arms.

On the contrary, despite his continuous efforts to express his love, she didn't go back to him. The woman even blocked his number, and he could only hear about her from other people.

"Still, it's good for you to go through some trouble. You can only treasure her properly after working extra hard for her." Zachary had just comforted Trevor when he saw the latter taking out his phone and making a call to Chase. Trevor was asking Chase to book an overnight flight to Kingsford.

Zachary thought Trevor was being a little dramatic. "Why are you following her?"

Trevor frowned and said seriously, "She must be going to Kingsford to see Wilson; he wants to be her godfather, after all."

At the mention of that, Trevor suddenly changed the topic. "Wilson has only met her once, so why does he want to be her godfather all of a sudden?"

Zachary also frowned and said worriedly, "Are you saying that Wilson has ulterior motives toward her?"

Then again, Zachary analyzed the situation and said, "However, Wilson's reputation in this field has been decent these years. Also, his background wouldn't allow him to do something like that, would it?"

Some people came from backgrounds they were allowed to defile, but some came from extremely clean backgrounds that could never be soiled.

The Young Family belonged to the latter. It wasn't because the Youngs weren't in a position high enough to risk any defamation; rather, they were in a position so high that not a speck of dirt would be tolerated.

Trevor snorted. "What if there's a hidden side to him? There are too many beasts with human masks in this world. She's innocent, so that's why I have to go and find out."

Zachary thought that Trevor's words made sense, but he still reminded the man by saying, "You'd better be careful in case you offend Wilson."

Zachary thought that Trevor had made love rivals out of every man Emma came into contact with, so Trevor had this weird sense of rivalry with all of them. That was why he gave Trevor this kind reminder.

If Wilson earnestly wanted Emma to be his goddaughter, Trevor would be in huge trouble if he accidentally offended the man.

It would only make it harder for him to win Emma's heart back. After all, the powerful Young Family would be backing Emma from then on.

Trevor responded half-heartedly, then took a few more bites before getting up to leave. He was going home to pack his luggage before catching the flight later.
