Chapter 54 Emma thought Trevor would walk past her and enter the house, but he turned around to speak to Cyrus instead, “You can leave now.” Cyrus nodded and handed the luggage in his hand to Trevor before taking his leave. Hence, Emma was left with Trevor at the door. It became silent all of a sudden. She could feel his gaze on her face. She found her courage and looked at him as she said calmly, “I got the albums. Thanks for keeping them.” After thanking him, she said again, “I‘ll be going now.” Then, Emma looked down again and planned to walk past Trevor to leave, but he stretched his leg to the side, blocking her path again. She looked at him in confusion. He placed the luggage on one of the cabinets at the side before he walked closer toward her. Emma did not expect that, so she took a step back subconsciously. As she still had two thick albums in her arms, she lost her balance due to her carelessness and fell back into the stool behind her, which was used whenever anyone was to change their shoes at the dopr. Trevor took this chance to lean in closer and hovered over Emma with his muscular build. Emma had to admit that her heart would still beat wildly when she was near Trevor, looking into his eyes and having her sight filled with nothing else but his charming face. However, she would not allow herself to sink into this feeling anymore. !! She was able to maintain her rationality because she knew better than anybody else how hard it was to love Trevor. “Emma, you‘ve been playing hard to get for so long. This should stop now.” Stunned, Emma asked, “What?” Trevor‘s finger landed on her soft lips, and while he caressed her lips with his finger, he whispered, “I said you can stop playing hard to get. You‘ve been doing that ever since you came back.” “I have to say that you‘ve succeeded. Now, I‘m interested in you, my dear ex-wife.”
Just a second ago, Emma was still in a trance because of Trevor‘s sudden gentleness WMMMMMMMMMM toward her. However, his words at this moment dropped on her like a bucket filled with iced water, disappointing her. Not only did she come back to her senses, she was also trembling from anger as well. What? I‘ve been drawing my line with him, but he thought I was playing hard to get? It seems like I’m still a scheming person to him‘even though it‘s been a year after our divorce.But what makes him so confident that I still love him and want to return to his side? How vain! Tears were welling up in Emma‘s eyes from her aggrievance and anger, but she suppressed them from falling to protect her last bit of dignity. Looking at how confident Trevor was, Emma only smirked. “You think I’m playing hard to get?” “Are you not? Susanna‘s manager just released a statement. It says that both Susanna and you have feelings for a charming man respectively and that the both of you are completely straight.” Emma was stunned and took out her phone thereafter. The statement was trending, and she spotted it right away. Britney‘s statement to clarify the rumor that Susanna liked women from this morning read, “The woman whom Susanna was spotted with this morning is her close friend, and they have had a close relationship since their high school days. Moreover, the two ladies each have a charming man that they like. We would like to request that the media stop making up rumors. If such actions persist, we will not hesitate to take legal action. It turned out that Trevor‘s confidence came from this statement. Emma was not a celebrity, so she did not care much about this matter. Also, she trusted that Britney could handle it well. She did not expect Trevor to think she still had feelings for him because of the statement. Emma kept her phone back in her pocket and met eyes with the man before her once again, this time with mockery written all over her gaze. “So you think that the charming man I like is you?” ||
The hint of mockery in Emma‘s eyes made Trevor frown. “Is it not?” She denied it with certainty. “Of course not!” She looked right into Trevor‘s eyes with determination. There are so many attractive men around me. Why would I torture myself by liking someone from my past and one who only knows how to look down on me and hurt me?” Trevor‘s expression turned dark instantly because her words made him look bad. He had always been a proud and arrogant person. Before this, he had his suspicions that Emma still had feelings for him. He was even more confident after reading Britney‘s statement. Hence, he ignored the doctor‘s order and insisted on being discharged so he could come back home and talk to her. However, Emma said she did not like him anymore and called him someone from her past. Trevor was reminded of the time when she said she would never go back to her ex lover, and it made him fume with anger. As if to punish her, he raised her chin and forced a kiss on her. Then, he pushed her back against the wall and continued to kiss her harshly. Emma‘s lips were hurting, and she could tell Trevor was mad. To her, who had been trying to draw a line with him, his kiss humiliated her. She found her strength and shoved Trevor away. At the same uime, tears started to stream down her cheeks. Trevor‘s stomach was still feeling slightly unwell. When she pushed him, he staggered a few steps back, and his back knocked onto the corner of the cabinet behind him. It hurt him so much that he was about to break into a cold sweat. Holding his waist, he stood there with a dark expression. If looks could kill, Emma would probably be dead by now. Emma did not care about how he looked. She raised her hand to wipe her tears away, took her albums, and stood up.
“Trevor Bateson, listen to me. I‘ll never love you anymore. The love between us is dead. It‘s over for us.” After saying that, Emma ran out in tears with the albums in her arms. Trevor clenched his jaw and stood still in his spot. He was furious yet disappointed at the same time. He went through the synopsis and the script outline that Emma wrote and found that she was a great writer. However, he did not know she was also good with her words. The lone beltoren us is drurl.
