Chapter 12 Trevor widened his eyes as he looked at the waitress. “Did she say she’s allergic to beef?” “Yes,” the
waitress said with a nod. Trevor no longer responded after that—he merely lowered his gaze to fiddle
around with the lighter in his fingers. There wasn’t a hint of emotion in his eyes. Zachary got the
waitress to send the beef steak out before he pulled out a cigarette and leaned close to Trevor for a
light. “Trevor, you’ve been married to this woman for three years. Don’t you know about her allergies?”
At that point, someone else interrupted their conversation. “Allergies can be a pretty big deal
sometimes, you know. It might just be rashes if we’re talking about mild allergies, but it could be life-
threatening if we’re talking about severe allergies.” The person’s words made Trevor freeze for a
moment. Zachary shot an annoyed look in the person’s direction.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDoesn’t he know how to keep his mouth shut? Why is he talking about life-threatening allergies? Isn’t
he just making Trevor feel worse?! Indeed, Trevor felt more frustrated than before. He recalled the past
three years that he had spent with Emma. Whenever they had meals at home, there was bound to be
one dish that had beef in it, as Trevor was a huge fan of beef. However, he had never been aware of
the fact that Emma was allergic to beef. She had never brought it up, and he had never cared enough
to ask. … Adam was a rising star in the scene, and his recent series with Susanna was being
broadcasted all over the nation. Hence, Emma told him to make a move after their meal, while she
stayed behind in the room for a while more before leaving. If anyone caught her having dinner with a
famous celebrity, their names would show up on the trending topics almost immediately. Emma had
just stepped out of the restaurant when she saw Trevor and Zachary standing by the side of the road.
Truth be told, she wasn’t looking around for them—they were simply too eye-catching because of their
height and their strong, charismatic aura. Trevor was dressed in white dress shirt and black slacks. He
had an icy and distant look on his face, which made him seem especially unapproachable. Zachary, on
the other hand, was dressed in a patterned black shirt. He seemed a little more graceful and carefree
than the other man. Both of them were clearly waiting for their drivers to arrive.
They each had a cigarette between their fingers, and they were taking puffs on it while waiting for their
rides. Emma immediately turned away to walk to the other side when she saw them. She was trying
her best to avoid them. However, she hadn’t expected Zachary to stop her. “Hey, Emma!” In the end,
she had no choice but to stop in her tracks and respond to him. “Hello, President Manson.” Emma
wasn’t in the mood to talk to him, as she wasn’t particularly interested in interacting with anyone who
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas related to Trevor. However, Zachary was a relatively influential and powerful man in the whole of
Jonestown, so she couldn’t just ignore him without showing some respect. That was the power of fame
and wealth.
Zachary walked over to her while beaming. “Are you heading home? I can drop you back,” he offered.
Upon hearing that, Emma rejected his offer politely. “It’s fine. My ride is coming in a bit.” Before Zachary
could say anything else, Trevor, who had edged closer to them, spoke. “Did you say you’re not
acquainted with me?” He shot Emma an angry glare. Emma looked up to give him a courteous yet
distant smile. “Isn’t that the truth?” He gave her a cold smirk. “You seem really open-minded after
traveling overseas, huh? Are you saying that we aren’t acquainted even though we’ve been married for
three years?” Emma’s smirk was colder than his. “You don’t even know about my beef allergies even
though you were married to me. Do you think we’re close?” she asked without any hesitation. Her
words made Trevor choke for a moment. As his gaze darkened, Emma simply clenched her fists and
turned around to leave without a backward glance.
