Chapter 500 On How to Stay out of the Muck

• Before, Trevor had promised Emma not to attend social gatherings, but both he and Emma knew that there were some occasions he couldn't refuse. Tonight, there was a reception organized by the Department of Arts and Culture, and he had to attend. Since he wouldn't be back for the gathering, Emma had dinner at Wilson's place and planned to have the chauffeur pick her up after Trevor finished.
• Originally, Trevor wanted Emma to accompany him to the event as Mrs. Bateson by his side, which would surely deter those women who coveted him. But considering Emma was still in her first trimester, he had to dismiss the idea and let her stay home to focus on nurturing the babies.
• After dinner, Emma accompanied Wilson for a short walk outside, and when she returned, she was feeling a bit sleepy. It was at this moment that Susanna's call came in.
