CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 437

Even though she was mentally prepared, Alyssa still felt a short sense of loss when she heard Emmett's words.

However, she quickly calmed herself down.

"Ella is asleep. I will take you to see her. Are you going?" Alyssa turned her head and asked in a low voice.

Emmett nodded.

Alyssa said to Hazel and Xavier, "You guys can eat first."

After she finished speaking, she brought Emmett to Angela's room.

Angela's room was a typical room of girls. It was pink and very cute.

Angela was sleeping soundly with the pink rabbit in her arms, her little face was slightly red.

Emmett walked over and sat down. When he saw the little girl’s sleeping posture, he could not help but reach out to pinch Angela's face.

It was just that when his hand reached over to touch Angela's face, his arm was slapped by Alyssa.

He turned around and met Alyssa's slightly angry eyes.

Alyssa asked him unhappily, "What are you doing?"

Angela was sleeping well. Did he just want to wake her up?

How childish!

"This has nothing to do with you." Emmett slowly stood up and walked outside, after saying that.

Alyssa followed him. When she went out, she quietly closed the door.

Emmett walked out of Angela's room and was about to walk to the door.

Alyssa took two steps forward and pulled him back. "Are you leaving now?"

"Of course. Do you want me to stay for the night?" Alyssa could not hear any emotions from Emmett's tone. His eyes were distant and his entire body exuded a cold aura, signaling others to stay away from him.

Alyssa choked for a moment and then put on a smile again. She also tightened her grip on his hand.

She raised her chin slightly and there was a hint of provocation in her smile. "Do you still need to ask this kind of question? You should know the answer very well."

After Alyssa finished speaking, she stared at him with a burning gaze.

She really did look charming.

Emmett was nearing fascinated by her.

Emmett narrowed his eyes and looked at her. He was about to speak when he suddenly raised his eyes and looked in the direction behind Alyssa.

Alyssa noticed his gaze and suddenly remembered that there was someone else in the house.

She followed Emmett's gaze and turned her head to look. She just happened to see Hazel and Xavier who turned their heads away guiltily.

Alyssa's expression turned slightly stiff.

Did Hazel and Xavier hear what she just said to Emmett?

Recently, she had done many shameless things to pester Emmett.

However, this did not mean that she was really shameless. She would only treat Emmett like this. Hence, she did not want others to see her like this.

Alyssa covered her face with her hand. She felt embarrassed to be looked at by others.

Emmett lowered his eyes and saw Alyssa's annoyed look. A hint of a smile flashed across his eyes.

Alyssa only felt very shy at this moment, so she did not pay attention to Emmett's expression.

She was so embarrassed that she did not have the mood to flirt with Emmett anymore. She directly said, "Come have dinner before you go."

Alyssa did not care whether Emmett came or not. After she finished speaking, she went back to the dining table.

She picked up the wine Hazel had opened earlier and poured half a cup into it. Then, she picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp.

Hazel, who sat opposite Alyssa, held back her laughter and picked up some food for her. "Drink less wine and eat some dishes."

Alyssa glared at her and Hazel quickly turned her head.

At this time, the chair beside her was pulled open and tightly held. The tall Emmett sat down beside her.

Emmett's aura was too strong. The moment he sat down, Alyssa involuntarily sat upright. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

The table was not very big, and Emmett was tall and straight. When he sat down like this, he was very close to Alyssa.

Alyssa could even feel the unique cold aura from his body.

She was a little uneasy and reached out to touch the wine glass again.

However, before her hand touched the wine glass, it was taken away by Emmett.

Alyssa turned her head and saw Emmett put her wine glass on the other side where Alyssa could not

reach it.

Alyssa looked up and asked him with her eyes, "What do you want?”

"Didn't you want me to stay for the night?" Emmett smiled. His expression was different from usual. "I don't want to spend the night with a drunk woman."

Alyssa froze. She did not know how to answer Emmett.

She was just joking. Emmett actually took it seriously?

No, Emmett had a slight obsession with cleanliness. He also had his own principles. He would not casually spend the night with a woman he didn’t like.

In addition, Emmett did not have any love for her now. Would he really stay the night?

She was sure that the "spending the night" he said was the kind of "spending the night" she understood.

He was probably just trying to scare her, right?

Even if it was really the "spending the night" she thought, it was not a big deal.

Speaking of which, the two of them had been married for a long time.

Emmett only said one sentence, but Alyssa thought a lot.

Until Emmett's voice came, "Eat some vegetables."

She lowered her head and saw Emmett putting food into her bowl. Then she looked up again and saw his meaningful eyes.

At this time, Xavier suddenly stood up. "It's getting late. Take your time and eat. We're leaving."

As he spoke, he pushed Hazel who was beside him.

Hazel was clearly unwilling to leave. But she was forced to stand up by him.

Her strength was not as great as Xavier's, so she could only stand up. "I’ll go first. . . Alyssa, you can call me if you need anything."

The current Emmett made Hazel a little worried about Alyssa.

Xavier pulled her out. "Emmett is still here. If anything happens to Alyssa, Emmett will help her settle it. She does not need to call you."

He walked a little fast, so Hazel could only follow him quickly.

Hazel said discontentedly," What if big boss bullies Alyssa? If she calls me, I can help her call the police."

Xavier said snappily, "Since she can be able call you, can’t she call the police by herself?”

"Yeah," Hazel nodded. She felt that what she said just now was useless.

The two of them had already walked to the door.

Xavier reached out and rubbed her head. "You idiot."

"Who are you calling an idiot?" Hazel turned her head and glared at him. She lifted her foot and kicked Xavier's calf.

Xavier sucked in a breath of cold air from the pain, but when he saw Hazel's angry face, he nodded in agreement. "I am stupid, I am stupid."

They walked to the door, and Xavier closed the door and was about to leave.

Hazel pulled him back with a look of worry. "Can we really leave like this? Will the big boss beat Alyssa? I'm still worried. I can’t go now. . ."

As she spoke, she wanted to knock on the door and go in again.

Xavier quickly stopped her. "Don't worry, Emmett just doesn't know how to express himself. I called him earlier and he said he wouldn't come. But he still showed up.”

"He said he just came to see Angela."

"If he wants to see Angela, he can come at any time. But today he came at this time. Oh, you women are stupid!"
