Please Come Back, Honey! novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 As soon as Arianna recognized Trevor's voice, she immediately ran over to complain to him."Trevor, that b*tch Emma threw coffee in my face!" Slinging accusations despite being the guilty party was something Arianna had often done in the past, so Emma was used to those little tricks.

Besides, she did not expect Trevor to speak up for her.

She simply whispered to Susanna, "I'm going to the restroom." She did not wish to hang around and continue arguing.

Although she had been splashed with coffee, she had also retaliated in kind.

In her opinion, they were even now.

Her top priority at the moment was to treat the spot on her wrist that had beenburned earlier.

A cold water rinse would probably help a lot.

As she was unable to bear being slandered by Arianna, Susanna immediately retorted, “Miss Bateson, why didn’t you mention that you had splashed Emma first?Moreover, the coffee you splashed her with was burning hot." She grabbed Emma, who was just about to leave, and revealed Emma's arm that had turned bright red from the burn.

Grilling her teeth, she snarled angrily, "Emma's arm has been burned so badly.

How dare you go around slinging accusations! If anything happens to her, I will ruin that face of yours!” It wasnot until Susanna pulled Emma over that Trevor noticed how Emma's white T shirt was a complete mess and the fair skin of her arm was shockingly red.

Recalling that Susanna had mentioned how the coffee Arianna splashed was scorching hot, he immediately ordered furiously, “Apologize.” Arianna triumphantly crossed her arms in front ofher chest and looked at Emma "Trevor has spoken.

Hurry up and apologize." He glared at her coldly and spoke each word clearly.

"I asked you to apologize!" His words surprised Emma, Susanna, and even the people around them.

However, Emma immediately looked away since it was rather ironic.

He had never stood up for her when they were still husband and wife, but he was protecting her now thatthey had been divorced for a year.

The author Lilian Lee had a classic quote that summed up the situation very well: “Whatis redundant? A padded jacket in summer, a fan in winter, and your kindness after my love for you has gone cold." Emma no longer needed his protection, which was why she was not thankful toward him in the slightest.

"What?!" Arianna jumped to her feet and screamed in rage.

"Trevor, are you crazy?! Why should I apologize?! I might have splashed her, but she splashed me too!” Susanna had never been afraid of confrontations and shenever lost a fight either.

Thus, she immediately refuted the allegations.

"If you didn't talk badly about her in the first place, if you didn’t throw coffee in her face first, would Emma have thrown coffee atyou?" Shifting her gaze toward Trevor, she spoke in a cold and contemptuous manner, "Mr.

Bateson, your little sister sure is interesting.

Emma and I were having coffee together when she came up to us and cursed atEmma of being deaf.

With all due respect, the person who provokes the fight first is always wrong.” Arianna was enraged by Susanna’sscathing words of "The person who provokes the fight first is always wrong." Furious, she stepped forward again to attack.

It was just that Trevor had an aura that was imposing even though he was not angry.

When he swept his gaze toward her, she immediately shrank back and froze on the spot.

Even so, she refused to remain silent.

Gritting her teeth, she arrogantly said, “I won’t apologize.

I won't apologize to her cven if I die!" Conversely, he threw out a sentence at her.

"Since you refuse to repent over your mistake, then don't even think of leaving the house in the near future.

You will stay at home to reflect on your mistakes." Rage swelled up in her chest, and she nearly fainted from anger.

He then turned to look at Emma, who had remained silent from the beginning.

"I'll send you to the hospital." Emma raised her eyes and responded in an indifferent manner.

“No need.

Thank you, Mr.

Bateson.

It's not a big deal." Both her tone and expression were so cold that it almost seemed as though they were strangers who had never met each otherbefore.

Staring at her stubborn appearance, he felt the inexplicable irritability in his heart grow stronger.

He insisted.

“You’re burned so badly.

How can you say that it's not a big deal?" “It really isn’t.” She continued to reject his offer.

Even if she were to go to the hospital, she would go by herself and not withhim.

His expression darkened, and the two of them were stuck in a stalemate for a time.
