Chapter 162 You’re a Part of the Young Family Now

• "Emma." Trevor crouched down in front of the lady, his face written with remorse and guilt. "I have to admit that those nasty things I said to you back then were totally unforgivable, but now that I understand you better, I'm trying to get rid of the prejudice I used to have toward you. Look, I don't deny that I made a mistake in the past, which is why I'm asking for a chance to make it up to you. I'm going to start by treating you well, but I don't know what I should do to make myself understood because you won't respond to me at all." Trevor recalled the insecurity and anxiety that were gnawing at him because he didn't know what was happening in the house, as Emma wouldn't let him in. At that moment, he felt a strong sense of despair and disappointment to see how he was not needed by Emma.
• Emma, who was initially crying, wiped her tears when she heard his words. She then looked him in the eye mockingly and said, "You're still so selfish, Trevor. All you ever care about is your goddamn feelings. When have you ever spared a thought for those around you?" Trevor was stunned upon hearing Emma's words because he didn't expect the lady to accuse him of being selfish in return after he opened up to her sincerely. In the meantime, Emma seemingly saw through him and looked away, replying, "I'm now seeing Wesley, yet you're asking me for a chance to treat me well? What am I to you? Do you know you could put me in a difficult position in which I could be misunderstood as a two-timer by doing that? Are you really trying to protect me? Or are you thinking of destroying my life?"
• Meanwhile, Trevor was left tongue-tied by Emma's response. Deep down, he had completely forgotten about the fact that she became an item with Wesley until she brought it up again. However, his instinct was telling him that they were not a couple, no matter how hard he convinced himself to embrace the truth. Why would I feel that way? Is it because of my subconscious refusal to accept the truth, or is it because they don't look like a couple at all? But honestly, they surely don't look like a couple, do they? When that thought flashed Trevor's mind, he rose to his feet with Emma, seizing her arms before he pinned her on the wall. Then, he pinched her chin and squinted, staring at her in a commanding manner. "Are you really dating Wesley? Or is that just for show?"
