Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Emma had no intention of dealing with Trevor’s inexplicable anger. In any case, she hadmade herself clear and turned around to leave without another moment’s delay. Annoyed, Trevor grabbed her and pulled her back to press her tightly against the car. The distance between them was so close that they could smell the familiar yer unfamiliar scent coming from each other’s bodies. When their gazes met, he felt his breathing becoming ragged for some reason. Her facial features were actually very attractive. Every aspect of her face had just the right amounts of grace and beauty. Moreover, she had put on makeup today. The thin line of eyeliner lifted the corners of her eyes, adding a different style to her. He did not know what was wrong with him. Before their divorce, he had disliked every aspect of her. He would be filled with extreme disgust whenever he thought about the despicable methods that she used to trick him with. Who would have known he would find her so charming after a year of divorce? This was truly outrageous. In stark contrast to his flustered demeanor, Emma was very calm. In fact, her slightly furrowed eyebrows clearly indicated her impatience. “Mr. Bateson, what are you doing? Are you role-playing pushing your ex-wife against the car?” Her slightly mocking voice rang out, instantly bringing him back to his senses. Suppressing the embarrassment and the unusual feelings in his heart, he pulled open the car door and shoved her into the passenger seat. “Get in!” What he did left her unable to fight back. Thus, she fastened her seat belt and turned to look out the window. He was still as domineering and arrogant as ever, never caring about her feelings.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Taking out a chilled bottle of mineral water from the fridge in the car, he handed the bottle to her. “Apply this first.” She took the bottle and thanked him lightly. “Thanks.” Afterward, he started the car and drove away. None of them spoke a word, so the atmosphere in the car immediately fell silent for a while. When the car stopped at a red light, he turned his head to look at her. He was just in time to see her looking down at the injury on her arm. Her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed. Thinking that she was frowning in pain, he involuntarily asked, “Does it hurt a lot?” When the questionleft his mouth, he was shocked. Since when had he become so proactive? Then, he comforted himself. The injury on her wrist was caused by his sister, so it was only natural for him to show concern. His active concern made her eyebrows furfow even deeper. Keeping her eyes lowered, she coldly answered, “It’s fine.” This little bit of physical pain… Compared to the deep heartache he gave her, this little bit of pain was nothing. The reason she had been dazedly staring at her wrist and frowning earlier was that she hadbeen annoyed by the thought that she was currently sharing a car with him. She was annoyed that she had not adamantly insisted on taking a cab to the hospital on her own. Her response of “It’s fine” ended the chat on the spot. It so happened that the light turned green at the same time, so he could only concentrate on looking ahead anddriving After driving for a while, he asked another question. “Do you know Miss Dawson?” Eleanor was a famous screenwriter. Even he had to address her respectfully. Just now, Eleanor had shown concern for Emma. It was obvious that the two of them had a close relationship. This discovery surprised him. He never knew that Emma and Eleanor were acquainted.
Emma reluctantly replied, “Yes,” The truth was that she did not wish to speak to him at all. Their relationship was not that close. Just as she was praying that he would quickly shut up, she heard him relentlessly continue. “How did you meet her?” She pursed her lips and simply kept her mouth shut instead. If he wanted to, he only needed to ask around a little to know what she was doing nowadays when they met atAlpha Productions last time. He was clearly heartless, ruthless, and unrighteous.
