Please Come Back, Honey! Chapter 154
It was totally out of Crystal’s expectation that Emma knew the head barista of this café so well. When
she ordered coffee just now, that lady showed her a stony face and gave her the cold shoulder.
If it weren’t because she had something important to do, she would’ve filed a complaint against that
lady for sure. And also, she thought that a bumpkin like Emma had never been to such a high-class
café.
While she was raging, she saw the barista patting her chest and telling Emma loudly, “Order whatever
you want and enjoy your time here today. It’s all free of charge.”
Emma replied in surprise, “Free?”
With a smile, the barista said, “Yup, it’s on me.”
Crystal was feeling hot under the collar, as she had come half an hour earlier on purpose and ordered
the most expensive coffee just to let Emma spend more money here, but in the end, that barista was
paying for everything for Emma.
She felt the rage inside her, which she couldn’t let out and couldn’t swallow either, making her feel the
ache in her stomach.
On the other hand, Emma asked Annie with courtesy, “How can I let you pay for all of these?”
“Why not? Are you drawing a line between us?” As Annie said that, she lifted her hand and placed it
across Emma’s shoulder.
Annie had a carefree and cheerful personality, but although she looked careless from the exterior, she
would be extremely quiet and detail-oriented when she was making coffee. Her coffee-making skills
were top-class, which was proven by all the champions she obtained from all sorts of coffee contests.
In the end, Emma couldn’t refuse her offer and thanked her. “Thank you then. You should continue with
your work. I’ll head off to my friend.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter bidding goodbye to Annie, she walked slowly toward Crystal’s direction. As she sat down, Crystal
said with mere irony, “You’re really something, Emma, knowing people from all walks of life.”
Hearing that, Emma said indifferently, “Don’t you know Zachary owns this café?”
Crystal snorted and said, “Of course, I know.” After saying that, she added an extra sentence on
purpose. “I always came here for coffee with Arianna last time. How can I not know that?”
She said that to show her good relationship with Arianna and provoke Emma, who had just been hurt
by Arianna. In fact, Emma didn’t care about this anymore as Trevor meant nothing to her now. Why
would I be bothered with Arianna?
“Since you know Zachary owns here, what’s so weird about me knowing the people here?” Emma
counter-questioned Crystal. “Zachary was the one who introduced me here to learn how to make
coffee.”
As Crystal heard the word ‘coffee’, she became so enraged that she was grinding her teeth since that
coffee that Emma made was especially for Trevor.
Emma kindly reminded Crystal while explaining, “Although Annie said I don’t need to pay for today, it’s
better we don’t waste too much time here. Didn’t you ask to meet me to apologize? You can start now.”
How could Crystal hold back when she heard the aloofness in Emma’s words? She raised her hand at
once and pointed at Emma before bellowing, “Who exactly do you think you are, Emma?!”
Looking at Crystal’s hand, which was pointing directly at her face, Emma raised her hand and pushed
Crystal’s hand away before saying calmly, “I don’t know where your superiority comes from, Crystal.
You always think that I’m below you.”
Before Crystal could say anything, Emma continued, “I guess it’s probably because of your wealthy
family backing you up.”
With her arms crossed in front of her chest, Crystal sat on the couch and lifted her chin proudly. “Yeah.
So what if it’s because of my family? Do you have a family like this? Didn’t you say Steven Yates is not
your biological father?” she said with her face full of contempt. “Who knows what kind of person your
biological father is? He might be even worse than Steven.”
Hearing Crystal defaming her biological father, Emma wasn’t provoked at all. In fact, she explained
calmly, “But you see, a person’s life is really long, so no one knows what the future will be like. Who
knows if you’ll be inferior to me in a few years? I have talent and ability. Even if I stop writing scripts, I
can still open a café or even a restaurant to make a living. What about you, Miss Sanders? Without
your father, I’m worried that you’ll start begging on the street.”
Emma wasn’t fear-mongering or exaggerating it, as she knew that it wasn’t a problem for her to make a
living in the future, but it wouldn’t be so easy for Crystal.
“You—!” Crystal was trembling in anger, but no words came out of her mouth. Little did she know that
Emma could be this sharp-tongued and even vitriolic.
On the other hand, Emma was satisfied that she provoked Crystal, deliberately making it difficult for the
angry valley girl.
In fact, Emma didn’t have the habit of making things hard for others. She was thinking of letting this
matter slide if Crystal apologized to her sincerely, but Crystal wasn’t apologizing at all, even acting all
high and mighty. About the time she gets off her high horse. Geez!
That was why Emma decided to go all out to crush Crystal today to let her know her true self. She
crossed her legs, changing position before saying, “Also, didn’t you always look down on me for using
tricks to get to Trevor’s bed? Why don’t you try it yourself?”
Hearing that, Crystal was speechless.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEmma looked at her neat nails casually and mimicked Crystal’s tone. “I’m not trying to despise you,
Crystal. But he didn’t sleep with you when you two were a couple, and he still didn’t touch you after I
divorced him for more than a year. It’s him who doesn’t want you now. Do you think you still have the
chance to get to his bed?”
She used the word ‘doesn’t want’ on purpose to completely step on Crystal’s pride under her feet,
Crystal’s face paled at once after hearing that. She glared at Emma and shouted, “You’re really
shameless, Emma Yates!”
“Yup, I’m quite shameless, but I can be worse. Do you want to hear some more?” Emma tilted her fair
and pretty face while looking at Crystal with a smile on her face. Then, she chuckled, “Do you know
that throughout the three years of my marriage with him, he’ll sleep with me every night when he’s
home and when I’m not on my period?”
Hearing that, Crystal lifted her hand and placed it on her chest because she was completely provoked
at this moment as she really didn’t think that Emma could say such shameless words. Didn’t Trevor say
he’s in love with Emma? I should’ve recorded what she said just now and let Trevor hear it so that he’ll
know what kind of person she is!
At this moment, Emma kept a smile on her face and told Crystal word-by-word, “You’re the only
downright loser here, Crystal. So, on what grounds are you being so aloof?”
“Emma Yates!” Crystal screamed and grabbed the cup of coffee in front of her, ready to splash it on
Emma to vent her hatred toward her.
Unexpectedly, Emma was one step ahead, grabbing the coffee in front of her and splashing it on
Crystal. “Ah—”
