Please Come Back, Honey!

Chapter 163

As Emma felt warm on the inside, she couldn't explain the strange chemistry and intimate feeling she had with Wilson, although they only met each other once in Kingsford. Then, when Wilson suggested that she become his goddaughter, she surprisingly accepted him, as if they were meant to be a family. After going through the trauma of being hurt by Steven and his son, Emma felt so touched by Wilson's love and care that she began to burst into tears.

When Wilson sensed Emma's unusual reaction, he quickly showed his concern in a startled manner. "What's wrong? Are you alright?" Unknown to himself, Wilson's anxiety was getting the better of him because he knew there was little his words could do to help appease her since they were not talking face to face.

However, Emma wiped her tears and smiled in response. "Yeah, I'm crying, but I'm shedding tears of joy because of how fortunate I am." Ever since her mother passed away, the world seemed like a cold place with less and less kindness, except the warmth she felt from her friendship with Susanna if it was of any consolation. At the same time, while Christopher also cared about her since she was married to Trevor, the others in the family wouldn't stop finding ways to hurt her. Therefore, Emma's emotional floodgates opened in response to Wilson's kindness, which she hadn't felt for a long time.

"Phew! As long as you're not crying over something that breaks your heart, my girl." Wilson heaved a sigh of relief.

"No, I'm not," Emma replied tearfully, trying to alleviate Wilson's worry.

Soon, Wilson paused for a second and said, "You may be my goddaughter, but I guess it's best for you

to call me and my wife Uncle Wilson and Aunt Nina. After all, I bet it probably won't sit right with you if you have to call us Dad or Mom. Also, I don't think it's going to sound appropriate for you to call us 'Godfather' or 'Godmother' either, so I'm good with 'Uncle Wilson' and 'Aunt Nina'." This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Sure," Emma replied with an affirmative hum, feeling touched by Wilson, who was thoughtful enough to figure the little details out.

"By the way, we can't go anywhere else until your aunt is discharged from the hospital in a few more days, but when she is out, we'll be sure to visit you in Jonestown," Wilson said.

Emma quickly replied, "No need for that, please. You should just stay where you are and let me travel to Kingsford to visit you." After all, she couldn't allow Nina to go through all the trouble and hassle of traveling, thinking she probably needed more rest to recover. For that, she reckoned it was more appropriate for her to visit her in Kingsford since she wasn't required to stay in the office the whole day, thanks to her flexible working hours.

Wilson pondered for a while and said, "Well, I guess it's not a bad thing for you to come and visit us either because I could introduce you to the rest of the people in the Young Family."

"Wait, what? I'm going to meet the rest of the people in the Young Family?" Emma was intimidated by the thought of facing the members of the established family in Kingsford.

Wilson smiled and answered, "Of course, now that you're our goddaughter, you should meet the elderly of the Young Family. After all, your grandparents are still around, and they'd be happy to see you."

"But I…." Emma had no idea what to say because she thought she was only supposed to meet Wilson

and Nina. After all, she had only met them a handful of times and was not ready to meet the rest of the members of the Young Family, let alone the elderly. Moreover, she wasn't comfortable with all the attention she would be receiving by then, thinking it wasn't necessary because she was merely just Wilson and Nina's goddaughter.

"With me around to back you up, you have absolutely nothing to worry about." Wilson seemingly saw through what was bothering Emma. "Like I said, you're a part of the Young Family now, so it's a natural thing for you to meet the rest of our family members in order to let everyone know you. By then, you'll be under everyone's protection." Wilson made his point in a deadpan manner but was actually serious about his message. While the Young Family had thrived prosperously for years, Wilson was the only one in his family without a child. Therefore, he was hoping to spread the word out to his siblings and their children, who had undertakings and businesses across many industries and regions so that no one would dare to take advantage of Emma.

In the meantime, Emma could feel how much Wilson cared about her, judging from his sincere words. At the same time, she could also tell that Wilson was being serious about being her godfather because introducing her to the rest of the people in the Young Family was the best way to show his sincerity. Thus, Emma put her mind to ease and replied, "Okay then, I'll come over as soon as I take care of my business here."

"Sure," he responded happily. It was only after hanging up the call with Wilson that she was reminded of Trevor who was still outside of her room. Upon a few moments of hesitation, she reluctantly decided to open the door and step outside, only to realize Trevor was already gone. Phew! Thank god he is gone, or I don't know how I'm going to face him. Emma heaved a sigh of relief but reckoned she should have given him a slap in the face for what he did to her earlier.

At that moment, Emma suddenly heard a notification alert from her phone. She then checked it out and saw a message from Trevor. 'I'm going to give you some time to take care of your mess with Wesley.' Upon reading the text message, the lady couldn't help but feel annoyed and irritated. What does he mean by 'my mess'? He is the reason everything looks like a mess here. Anyway, what makes him think something is wrong between Wesley and me? Because I don't think I gave myself away. Deep down, Emma couldn't help but wonder whether Trevor thought she was trying to play hard to get with him by pretending to date Wesley. Does that man think that I can't fall for someone else because he still thinks I'm in love with him?

As the thought of that ruined Emma's mood, she grew irritable and decided to block Trevor's number and his contact on WhatsApp. That should send that narcissistic guy a clear message. After that, she put her phone away and turned her attention to the two cats, which she took to the study when Jared and Alice came by earlier. Oh dear, I hope they weren't scared by the commotion that was going on just now.

On the other hand, Trevor was actually listening in on the tele-conversation between Emma and Wilson outside the room earlier. After that, he turned around and walked away with peace of mind, knowing she wasn't talking to Wesley. At the same time, the reason he chose to leave after a moment of hesitation was that he couldn't bear to hear what Emma would have said to him if he had stayed and waited for her, thinking it would be something mean and devastating. Deep down, he could still remember the time he kissed her when she swung by his residence to retrieve the gallery, as he was still traumatized by the hopeless and heartbreaking words she had said to him.

Although Trevor was aware of his escapism, he still decided to run away from the grim reality to protect himself. However, he subsequently couldn't help but feel a little unhappy about his action, thinking there was perhaps something that he could have done to handle the situation better. Therefore, he then sent Emma a text message and told her to take care of her messy relationship with Wesley. After that,

he returned to his office and worked like normal, but when he didn't receive a reply from Emma later that afternoon, he became worried about her. Soon, he decided to give her a call as he was afraid that she was still upset about the conflict she had with Jared and Alice, only to fail in his attempts to reach her. Helpless, he summoned Cerys and asked, "Call Emma. I've been trying to reach her, but my calls just couldn't get through. What's going on?"

To Trevor's surprise, Cerys' phone call successfully went through, but before she could say anything, the man snatched her phone from her and questioned Emma. "Hey, why didn't you pick up my call?" As soon as Emma heard and recognized his voice, she immediately hung up the call, leaving the man angry with Cerys' phone tightly grasped in his palm.

Cerys then said, "Mr. Bateson, I think… Emma might have just blocked your number." After all, that was the only answer she could think of to explain why her first call successfully got through when Trevor kept failing. While Trevor was rendered speechless, Cerys asked, "Why don't you try reaching her through WhatsApp?"

While Cerys believed Emma had also blocked Trevor's contact on WhatsApp, the man snapped out of his trance and decided to give it a try as per his assistant's advice. As soon as he sent out a text message to Emma, his response was met with a huge icon of a red exclamation mark with a few words that read, 'This number is not on your contact list.'
