CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Old house?

Alyssa turned to look at Emmett and found that his expression had become very gloomy.

Alyssa realized that anyone and anything related to the Lawrence family could make Emmett change

his expression.

He seemed to dislike the Lawrence family very much.

She reached out and held Emmett’s hand. Almost immediately, Emmett held her hand back.

After that, Emmett said indifferently, “I know.”

Alyssa could tell that Emmett did not want to return to Lawrence’s Mansion.

She did not know much about the Lawrence family, but she knew that the Lawrence family was a big

family. She had heard from Justin that the Lawrence family had a large population. There were many

cousins in the same generation. Only Justin and Emmett had a better relationship.

Emmett’s identity was announced. It was normal for the Lawrence family to send Emmett back after

such a big incident.

The two of them returned to their room. Alyssa asked him, “Are we going back tomorrow?”

Emmett looked up and saw the cautious expression on Alyssa’s face. He curled his lips. His smile was

not too obvious, but his entire person had clearly softened.

He pulled Alyssa into the room. His tone had a rare hint of teasing in it. “Of course I want to go back. I’ll

bring his granddaughter-in-law back for him to see.”

Alyssa looked up at him, “Who?”

Emmett looked at her with a smile in the corner of his eyes. “My Grandfather.”

The leaders of Lawrence family were all legendary figures, not to mention Winston Lawrence, who had

maintained the prosperity of his family for decades.

Alyssa was a little nervous.

…

The next day.

Alyssa woke up early and walked around in the cloakroom to pick her clothes.

This color was too plain. That style was not dignified enough.

Alyssa was a little discouraged when she couldn’t choose what to wear.

Suddenly, she felt a slight movement behind her. She turned her head and saw Emmett walking in

without her noticing. He was leaning against the wall and looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

His smiling eyes were so charming!

She realized that Emmett liked to laugh these few days. He looked at her and smiled as if he had been

possessed.

Alyssa threw away the clothes in her hands and curled her lips. She said, “Help me pick my clothes.”

When the time came, if the Lawrence family people picked her thorns and said that her clothes were

undignified and her shoes were not good looking, she could blame it on Emmett.

“Okay.”

Emmett said and walked over. He didn’t hesitate at all.

He took out a down jacket and handed it to Alyssa.

Alyssa was speechless.

She did not want to take the down jacket at all and even wanted to chase Emmett out.

Sure enough, she could not have any expectations for a “Emmett” who thought she was cold.

This was the first time she was going back to see his parents with Emmett. She wanted to dress better!

Alyssa looked at him with disdain. “There are so many beautiful female stars in Nine Clouds, but they

did not allow you to build a basic sense of beauty on your clothes?”

“Beautiful female stars?” Emmett repeated. He turned around and hung up the down jacket that Alyssa

despised. He said casually, “They are worse than you.”

Alyssa was slightly stunned.

Was he praising her beauty?

Emmett found a thick dark gray coat and handed it to her. “This one?”

He looked up and saw Alyssa staring at him with her beautiful cat eyes. Her eyes were a little excited

and also a little happy.

Emmett raised his eyebrows and said a single syllable from his throat, “Hmm?”

Alyssa came back to her senses. She did not see what clothes he was holding and quickly nodded. “It

looks good.”

Emmett looked at her with an unfathomable gaze and reached out to touch her forehead.

The temperature was normal. She was not sick.

Emmett did not praise her beauty directly. That sentence was implicit and euphemistic, but Alyssa had

automatically changed that sentence, “A little worse than you,” to “those female stars are not as pretty

as you.”

Although he was a little pompous, who did not like to be praised as beautiful?

It was not until Emmett saw Alyssa carrying her clothes out that he realized what was going on.

Alyssa’s expression just now was because of what he said.

Was she that happy?

What he said was the truth.

…

After the two of them had their breakfast, Frank came over to send them to the old residence.

The old residence of the Lawrence family was really old. There were experts who estimated that it was

worth nearly 10 billion in the 100 year old residence passed down from the Qing Dynasty.

However, in order to make it more convenient to live, it had also gone through a few renovations, but it

still retained the charm of the old residence.

The Lawrence’s Mansion was famous. There were often tourists who came from afar. Even those who

were far away wanted to come and take a look at the Lawrence’s Mansion.

“Young Master and Young Madame, we have arrived.”

Frank’s voice was heard. Alyssa’s uneasy mood along the way actually miraculously calmed down at

this moment.

She turned her head and looked out of the car window. She saw a row of bodyguards and maids

standing neatly on both sides of the ancient Lawrence’s Mansion gate to welcome them.

Alyssa had never seen such a show before. It was just like filming.

She was about to open the door when Emmett suddenly held her hand. “Don’t move.”

She turned around and looked at Emmett in confusion.

Emmett did not say anything. Frank had already gotten out of the car and walked over to open the door

for Emmett.

After Emmett got out of the car, Frank was still standing by the side holding the door. Emmett leaned

slightly and pressed one hand on the door to prevent her from bumping into it. He reached his other

hand in front of Alyssa and smiled at her. “Get out of the car.”

The smile of the handsome man became even more charming, not to mention the gesture of a

gentleman asking her to get out of the car.

Alyssa thought that she was not a particularly romantic person and did not like this. But when she

looked at Emmett’s face, she actually felt her cheeks heat up.

She blushed and put her hand in Emmett’s hand. Seeing this, the smile in Emmett’s eyes deepened.

He brought Alyssa out of the car and walked towards the door holding her hand.

The maids and bodyguards at the door all bowed and said respectfully. “Welcome, young master,

Young Madame home!”

Although Alyssa had been married to Emmett for a period of time, the two of them had always lived in a

villa halfway up the mountain. Emmett did not put on airs in front of her. He would eat whatever she

cooked and he would not be picky about any restaurant she chose.

So, she knew that she married into a top family, but she did not have any special feelings.

Until now, when she stood at the entrance of Lawrence’s Mansion and was greeted by a group of

maids and bodyguards, she felt like she had really married into a top family.

Emmett felt Alyssa’s hand stiffen slightly, so he lightly pinched her palm. He turned his head to look at

her and comforted her, “Don’t be nervous, just follow me.”

Alyssa pursed her lips and nodded. “Yes.”

The Lawrence’s Mansion was not much different from the modern villa, but the garden design was

more exquisite and had a lot of heritage.
