Please Come Back, Honey! novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96

Trevor did not expect her to be out. He thought she would just stay at home and write her script, judging from the kind of person she was. Now that he was sure she was not home, he could only leave. He did not reply to Emma‘s text after some thought and pretended he didn‘t see it. Now that he calmed down, he realized that coming all the way to her place just to have a bowl of her ramen was stupid. It was like he missed her.

Emma heaved a sigh of relief after she noticed that Trevor was not replying. Good thing he didn‘l text back. It‘d be hard for me to deal with.

The ladies had a happy gathering, but the Sanders were in a bad mood. Crystal came to her parents‘ place on purpose tonight. She was waiting for her father to give her the answer Trevor told him.

Crystal was out of it, and her mother tried to get her to eat. “You‘re just going to hurt yourself if you starve.” She assured Crystal, “Your father will settle this. And besides, nobody in Jonestown is more suited for him. You guys used to date, and our families are friends. He has to choose you.”

Rosalina managed to comfort Crystal a little, but the thought of Trevor acting so cold lately still irked her. She never told anyone she never had sex with Trevor, not even her mother. Everyone might have seen them coming out of hotels a few times after

Trevor‘s divorce, but they never actually had sex before.

“Here, have this. I made it specially for you. It makes you look prettier” Rosalina gave her a bowl of soup, and Crystal barely took a sip.

The ladies thought the dinner would go on for a long time, but Thomas came back just a moment later. Crystal‘s heart sank when she saw how upset her father was. The talks broke down. She teared up and started crying.

“Oh my,” Rosaline said. She asked her husband, “You‘re early. Was it that bad?”

Thomas said coldly, “He told me Crystal‘s not suited for marriage. Said marriage and dating are two different things. He‘s burning his bridges! I will not stand for this! My daughter spent years on him!” Thomas roared furiously.

Parents always protected their children, but he forgot that Crystal broke up with Trevor because she did not want to marry him. He forgot that Trevor had never given Crystal his answer over the last year. They confidently thought Trevor still loved Crystal. They thought he only divorced Emma so he could marry Crystal. Naturally, they flew into a rage when reality was different from their expectations,

Rosalina said indignantly, “He got that from his father! Bateson men are all scum!”

Crystal plopped down on the couch while covering her face and crying. “Why? Why?” She thought Trevor would agree if her father just pressured him into this. She had no idea why this happened. He loves me. We almost got married, so why did he refuse? She sobbed for a long while before hissing, “It‘s all Emma‘s fault! This is her fault!”
