Chapter 16 He Misunderstood Her

• A look of utter disbelief formed on Trevor's face after he heard Christopher's words. So, Grandpa is the one who arranged for us to meet. I thought Emma was the one who tried to use Grandpa to get close to me. Trevor's gaze landed on the gift that Emma had left by the side. I thought that she was buying that old-fashioned scarf for that guy, Adam, so I mocked her earlier. But this color really suits Grandpa…
• Trevor didn't know how he felt about misunderstanding Emma not once, but twice. He pressed his lips together in frustration before he turned to walk out of the house. He found Emma standing outside the house with her head lowered as she tapped on her phone screen to order a cab. Christopher stayed in the mid-hills area, so there weren't a lot of cabs driving around. "It's hard to get a cab to come here. Let me send you back," Trevor offered as he walked up to her.
• Both of them had been in each other's lives for the past four years or so, yet this was the first time that Trevor had shown any sign of kindness to Emma. In the past, whenever they had any conflicts or arguments, Emma would always be the one to give in first. If she didn't speak up to break the silence between them, Trevor would just continue with the cold war forever. Emma couldn't stand such tension in the air, so she would always be the one to compromise.
