Chapter 59

Chapter 59“What do you think?” Wesley‘s words seemed to have an underlying meaning. “Mr. Bateson, love isfleeting. You‘ll have to catch it in time. If you miss it, there is no turning back.”Trevor understood Wesley‘s message loud and clear; Wesley satirized that Trevor did not know how tocherish Emma.Not wanting to lose, Trevor retorted, “It‘s good that President Zurich is pursuing love, but shouldn‘tthere be a limit on how young your lover can be? Don‘t you feel ashamed that you‘re so much olderthan her?”Adam was too young while Wesley was too old. Why was Emma always surrounded by these kinds ofmen?However, Wesley replied leisurely, “Love has no gender and race. Naturally, age isn‘t a factor as well.”This made Trevor scoff. “Then, I wish you all the best.”Of course, he didn‘t mean it.“Well, I wish you and Miss Sanders eternal love,” Wesley said faintly.When Crystal was brought up, that was the last straw for Trevor, and he hung up the phone angrilyWesley definitely mentioned her on purpose, knowing it was Pandora‘s box that shouldn‘t be opened.In Susanna‘s Alphard, Emma collapsed into the passenger seat. Fear overwhelmed her as soon as shethought about what had just happened.On the other hand, Susanna praised Adam excitedly, “Adam is amazing! He really stood his ground forhis lover.”“It was great! That pervert deserves to be beaten into a pulp!”However, Emma quickly stopped her. “Enough. If this matter is exposed, Adam will be ruined.”Susanna disagreed. “That‘s not an issue. If anything happens, he can just go home and take over hisfamily business.”This confused Emma, but Susanna grinned and leaned forward, saying, “You have no idea, do you?Adam is, in fact, a second–generation nouveau riche. His family iswealthy.”novelbin

Emma did not know about this; Adam had never mentioned his family, and of course, she couldn‘t haveasked such a question.Susanna and Adam had been on a show together before, and they were cast opposite each other.Hence, she knew a lot more about him than Emma.Then, Susanna asked with a smile on her face, “So, are you sure you don‘t want to consider Adam? Healmost threw away his career for you.”“No, I‘m not even going to consider him!” Emma simply replied.Ignoring this, Susanna continued to persuade her, “Dating someone younger isn‘t a bad thing.”At this point, Emma couldn‘t be bothered to bicker with her anymore. Susanna knew Emma was thetype of person who was serlous and did not know how to play mind games.Susanna changed the subject. “What about President Zurich? Would you consider him?”Before Emma could even reply, Susanna began to upsell Wesley again. “Let‘s not talk about his looks;even his money, temperament, and personality are great. The two of you are gentle and easy–going.You Iwo will be very happy together.”All of these were making Emma‘s head hurt. “Why are you so keen on me finding a man?”Hearing this, Susanna lowered her eyes and mumbled, “Once you have a man, then that tramp,Crystal, would leave you alone.”Emma‘s friendship with Susanna touched her heart, and her eyes immediately reddened.Just as they were about to arrive at Emma‘s place, she received a call from Christopher“Emma, have you been busy?” he asked kindly. “I‘ve been occupied with my script. Is there anything Ican help you with?” she answered truthfully.The old man was aware that she was a screenwriter now. Back when she was abroad, he wouldalways call her from time to time, and the topic of her being a screenwriter was brought up.Christopher knew that Emma had a decent job and knew how happy she was, so he was generouswith his praises for her.It was also at that time that she could feel that he really loved her.“When are you free? I want to introduce you to a boyfriend,” he said with a smile on his face.

“Boyfriend?” She thought she must have misheard him.However, Christopher sounded serious as he said,” Yes. Aren‘t you single now? I know a very goodyoung man, and I want to introduce him to you.”Immediately, Emma tried to refuse incoherently, “No, Grandpa, you,”Her ex–husband‘s grandfather was trying to introduce her to a guy; t–t–l–this was unbelievable andscary.Susanna, who had been listening in, roughly understood what was going on and laughedunceremoniously from the side.This was ridiculous. If Trevor found out about this, he would burst into flames.“My dear child, why do you sound so surprised?” He explained, “I really like you, child. Although youand Trevor had a very shallow relationship and were only married for three years, it didn‘t affect myliking for you.”“I treat you like my granddaughter. That‘s why I‘m arranging all these for you.”Christopher sounded sincere, and this moved Emma. She could feel the old man‘s love for her.It was just that it was a little outrageous for him to introduce her to a boyfriend, wasn‘t it?“Grandpa, I understand your intentions, but I‘m not looking for love right now,” she refused politelyThis made him pause for a while before he suddenly asked earnestly, “Be honest with Grandpa. Areyou not looking for love because you‘re still missing that brat, Trevor?”However, she quickly denied, “That‘s not the case.”If she couldn‘t let him go, she wouldn’t have filed for a divorce in the first place.“Then, what‘s the issue?” He left no room for discussion as he said, “Since you don‘t care about him,you should go out and date someone better.”At this point, Emma didn‘t know what to say.This old man‘s way of thinking was really traditional. Just because she didn‘t have Trevor in mind, it didnot mean she was open to dating again.However, Christopher had already decided. “I‘ll arrange for a driver to pick you up tomorrow at 11:30AM.”

“Hey, Grandpa–” Emma wanted to stop him, but Susanna immediately grabbed her phone.“Don‘t worry, Old Mr. Christopher. Emma will definitely make it tomorrow. I‘ll even get my stylist to dresshier up beautifully!” Susanna was bursting with excitement. Christopher let out a few praises before hehung up the phone.Emma‘s head was pounding. “Is the world not chaotic enough yet?”Hearing this, Susanna couldn‘t stop laughing. “What‘s wrong with this? Old Mr. Christopher arranged adate for you. Anyone he recommends wouldn‘t be any ordinary man. You have to take a look.”“However, what I really want to know is, ddes Trevor know about this? And if he does, what was hisreaction?”Emma lowered her gaze and answered, “How else would he react? He would just be filled withdisgust.”Susanna held her head and glanced at Emma without saying another word.For Susanna, she thought that Trevor was blind to regard Crystal as the most beautiful woman.Cerys was driving Crystal back to her house when her phone kept ringing. All these calls were made byJoseph and his assistant director.She tricked them at the cost of their jobs on the show; they obviously wouldn‘t let her off the hook.However, next to Cerys, Crystal dared not answer her phone. Instead, she chose to hang up withclenched teeth and finally had no choice but to turn off her phone altogether.Cerys spoke faintly as she drove, “If it‘s something important, you can take the call.”She had said this on purpose as her intuition told her that Crystal‘s calls were a little unusual.“It‘s alright.” Crystal raised her hand and stroked the hair in front of her forehead. “It‘s just a spam callfrom the insurance sales agent.”Hearing this made Cerys sneer in her heart; she wanted to see how long Crystal could keep it up.
