Please Come Back, Honey!

Please Come Back, Honey! Chapter 158

At night, Wilson called Emma to ask her how her meetup with Crystal went.

He was enraged when she told him everything that happened honestly. “She’s bullying you in this way

because she thinks that you don’t have anyone supporting you, and you can’t do anything to her. She’s

just a bully who preys on the weak!”

Emma didn’t expect him to be this angry, so she said calmly, “It’s okay. I’m giving her two more

chances.”

She wasn’t a naive little girl who knew nothing, so of course she knew that Crystal bullied her because

she had no one protecting her. This was the same for Arianna as well. If she had a prominent family

behind her, supporting her, they definitely wouldn’t dare to bully her and would even try hard to please

her.

“It’s gonna be useless even if you give her ten more chances!” said the furious Wilson. “Do you know

that her father used his connections and found me, asking me to have mercy? It’s so obvious that she

still doesn’t take you seriously and has no intention of apologizing.”

“He found you with his connections?” Emma was quite surprised.

He answered, “Ya. He found me using his connections in Kingsford.”

Since Wilson was in Kingsford, Thomas used his connections and found his contact in Kingsford. It was

quite obvious that Thomas was really deep-pocketed.

They only cared about Wilson’s stance to stop insisting on letting Crystal apologize to Emma and not

report Crystal to the industry. Other than that, Emma’s feelings weren’t one of their concerns.

While feeling guilty, Emma muttered, “Sorry, Mr. Young. If they really make things difficult for you, I can

drop the whole thing.”

She knew that everyone in society couldn’t run away from social connections. It was especially so for

those with higher status; they would be bound by these connections.

She didn’t know why she was thinking this way, but she instinctively didn’t want to make things difficult

for Wilson, so she compromised to give up on holding Crystal accountable for plagiarizing her work.



Hearing that, Wilson said resignedly, “Do you think I’m that kind of person who’ll bow down to evils like

them? The Young’s status in Kingsford is not something an ordinary person can fondle with. Even if I

had no power at all, I wouldn’t compromise either. What Crystal did was wrong, and I’m already kind

enough to only want her to apologize to you but not report her to the industry!”

From what he said, it was obvious that he despised Thomas’ actions. “Parents like Thomas, who

pamper their children too much, are the reason why there are so many arrogant and despicable people

like Crystal in this society!”

In fact, Wilson was also a wealthy inheritor himself, as the Young Family was rather influential in

Kingsford and had many descendants. Despite that, he kept a low profile and was extremely humble.

He didn’t achieve what he had in the industry with his family’s connections but with his own talent. So

naturally, he despised Thomas for defending Crystal in this way.

At this moment, Emma didn’t know what to say. She really didn’t expect Thomas would use his

connections to find a contact in Kingsford to get to Thomas just to not let Crystal apologize to her.

On the other side of the phone, Wilson continued, “Actually, I have an idea that can kill two birds with

one stone. It can protect you and also force Crystal to apologize to you.”

Hearing that, Emma quickly asked, “What is it?”

All of a sudden, his tone became slightly embarrassed. “It’s actually like this. Since the last time I met

you, I’ve felt that we’re quite serendipitous. I admire your talent, and I like your personality too. So, I’ve

discussed it with my wife, and I’m thinking of… asking you to be my goddaughter.”

Shocked, she thought that she had heard it wrongly. “Goddaughter?”

“Yes.” His tone was full of sincerity. “I think you know that my wife and I don’t have any children after so

many years of marriage. If you’re willing to be our goddaughter, we’ll definitely treat you as our own

daughter, and you could use the Young Family as your patron. So, no one will be dared to bully you in

Jonestown or in Kingsford.”

“I-I…” Emma was still speechless, and she could feel a lump forming in her throat. She wanted to cry,

as it was totally unbelievable for the writer that she admired the most to ask her to be his goddaughter.



She already felt blessed to be able to meet Wilson and get to adapt his . So, having a deeper

connection with him was totally out of her expectations. It was especially so about her being his

goddaughter and being a family with him.

On the other hand, Wilson knew that his offer would scare Emma, so he didn’t force her and blurted, “I

know this is a big decision to make, and you’ll need to discuss it thoroughly with your parents for sure.

How about this? You can discuss it with your family first, and I’ll respect your decision. If they are

against it, I won’t force you either.” His words were full of understanding to Emma.

“But one thing I need you to know is that I’m asking you to be my goddaughter completely because I

admire you as a person and want you to live a better life and not let people like Crystal bully you

anymore. It’s definitely not because we don’t have a child and want a goddaughter to take care of our

old age and simply have someone to bury us in the future.”

While sobbing, Emma answered with a nod, “I know you’re not that kind of person, and there’s no

reason for you to do that either.” With Wilson’s wealth and family background, they didn’t need anyone

to take care of their old age. They could just use their money to hire a great caregiver.

“It’s my pleasure to be your goddaughter.” Emma couldn’t explain to him about her parents and family

at this moment, as this wasn’t a matter that could be explained clearly over the phone with only a few

words.

“But…” Deep down, she was terrified. “I’m afraid that I’m not worthy…” She was telling the truth, as she

was really feeling inferior. She was just an ordinary girl who happened to have a little talent for writing,

so how could she rise to the favor of an important person like Wilson? She didn’t even have a complete

family and didn’t even know who her biological father was.

Since Wilson and the Young Family were so prominent, she was afraid that the others would gossip

behind her back when she became his goddaughter. It was fine for her, but what if she dragged Wilson

and his family into it?

However, Wilson didn’t mind at all. He smiled and said, “There’s no need to talk about worthiness. In

fact, all families are just ordinary, so you don’t need to be pressured about this. I know you’re having



mixed feelings now, for sure. How about this? You should think about it first and let me know by

tomorrow.”

“Okay,” Emma answered affirmatively with a nod.

She was indeed having mixed feelings as though she was riding a rollercoaster and going through the

ups and downs, or maybe even worse than that.

After Emma hung up the call with Wilson, she sat on the couch and couldn’t snap out of her daze for

quite some time.

In fact, there was no need for her to consider his proposal, and she had no family to discuss this with

either. When Wilson said that he wanted her to be his goddaughter, she wanted to say yes

immediately.

The connections between people were really fascinating. Although she only met Wilson once, she

instinctively felt that she could have a close relationship with him and also felt that Mrs. Young’s and his

feelings for her were genuine. From that, she believed that she would definitely be dearly loved if she

was a part of his family.
