Female Novel
Chapter 17
Chapter 17After Trevor got back to Christopher’s house, Christopher got straight to his point the moment theyoung man sat down at the dining table. “Have you decided on a wedding date?” Naturally, Christopherwas referring to Trevor and Crystal’s wedding date.Crystal had started showing up at the Bateson Residence ever since Emma and Trevor got a divorce.Even though Trevor had never explicitly stated anything about Crystal, the whole family assumed thatthey were dating one another. This was mainly due to Crystal’s excessive promotion of how sweet herrelationship with Trevor was. She often spoke as if they were about to get married any time soon.That was why Christopher was surprised to hear Trevor’s answer. “No.” “Hurry up and get it over with,”Christopher ordered. Trevor glared at his old man upon hearing this. Truth was, Christopher had neverbeen a fan of Crystal. Crystal was relatively closer to Trevor’s mother at home, but Christopher hadnever once looked Crystal in the eye.He clearly didn’t approve of the woman. Therefore, Trevor felt rather puzzled and frustrated to haveChristopher, out of all people, rushing him to get married. Christopher picked up some vegetables withhis fork and munched on them before speaking. “Once you get married, I can focus on finding a goodman for Emma.” Trevor nearly spat out the food that he had just put into his mouth.“What do you mean by that?” He glared at his grandfather, but Christopher only scoffed in response.“What I mean is that I really like Emma and that I want to take her in as my god-granddaughter. So, mypriority now is to find her a reliable and nice man.” Trevor could no longer keep his calm when henoticed that his grandfather wasn’t fooling around at all. “Do you think it makes sense for my ex-wife tobecome my godsister, Grandpa?” Trevor asked with a straight face.“What’s the issue? I care for her, and I feel bad for her. How is she supposed to live the rest of her lifewith that irresponsible father and that brother of hers?” Christopher didn’t seem bothered by whatTrevor said. After letting out a long sigh, he continued, “Ah—I’m afraid I am to blame for this as well. If Ididn’t force you guys to get married, she might have found a good guy by now. She wouldn’t havewasted three years of her precious youth just like that.”
At this point, Trevor was rather annoyed. Is he even my biological grandfather? He’s Emma’sgrandfather, isn’t he? He only thinks about the three years that Emma wasted, but what about me? Iwasted three years too! “What do you think about Zachary? Is he a good fit for Emma?” Christopherasked thoughtfully. Trevor’s expression was so dark that he nearly blended in with the black furniturearound him. “Do you think a playboy like Zachary would suit her?” “What’s wrong with a playboy? Younever know when a person might change.Perhaps Zachary would stay loyal to Emma after they start dating.” Christopher disagreed with Trevor’sviewpoint. “Ha!” Trevor scoffed in response. He’d like to see if Zachary would have the guts to datesomeone like Emma. Despite his old age, Christopher was really energetic and driven—he pulled hisphone out to call Zachary right there and then. Trevor and Zachary had been friends for years, so theirfamilies had often interacted with one another.Zachary was, therefore, no stranger to Christopher. Christopher turned his hands-free mode on beforehe asked Zachary with a wide grin on his face, “Hey, Zachary. What have you been up to?” Uponhearing that, Zachary responded in a rather playful tone, “Oh—you know me. Just busy with randomstuff, I guess. Is anything the matter, Old Mr. Christopher?” he asked. “Well, I’d like to get you agirlfriend, Zachary,” Christopher said with a nod.novelbin
