CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Along the way, there were maids and bodyguards everywhere they passed. They would stop and greet

Alyssa and Emmett.

Even the curves of their bodies were the same. They were neatly arranged in a row. Clearly, they were

well-trained.

Alyssa was secretly shocked. Her expression became somewhat solemn.

The Lawrence’s Mansion was very big. The two of them passed by the front yard and walked through

the hall to the backyard.

Winston liked quiet when he was older, so he moved to live in the quiet backyard.

When they arrived at Winston’s door, Emmett asked the maid who was guarding the door, “Grandpa is

inside?”

“Yes.” The maid looked happy when she saw Emmett. She gently pushed the door open and said

carefully, “Sir, the young master is back.”

The door was opened a small crack, just enough for the maid to stand there. Alyssa could not see

inside. She only heard a slightly aged voice, “Let them in when they come.”

The maid turned around and nodded slightly at Emmett.

Emmett held Alyssa’s hand tightly. “Let’s go in.”

Alyssa was led into the room by Emmett.

The room was very warm. There was a faint fragrance of ink and tea. The room was simple. There was

a row of bookshelves, a desk, and some tea sets.

Winston stood in front of the desk with a brush in his hand. He was writing in front of the desk. Although

he was over seventy years old, he was full of vigor. He stood straight and looked calm and composed.

Emmett called out from the side, “Grandpa.”

Winston raised his head and coincidentally met Alyssa’s eyes that had been staring at him. He did not

say a word, but he was not angry.

Alyssa slightly lowered her eyes. Emmett silently pulled Alyssa behind him.

When Winston saw Emmett’s protective attitude, he snorted. “Who is this girl?”

Emmett raised his eyebrows. “She is the person you want to see.”

His tone was a bit aggressive. Winston was furious. He threw the brush in his hand away. “Who are

you?”

Alyssa was speechless.

Did Winston have dementia?

This thought had just popped up in her mind, Winston, who was on the other side, suddenly looked at

her and said, “Do you want to say I have dementia?”

Alyssa was shocked by his words.

Does this Lawrences have the ability to read people’s minds?

However, Winston stared at her with his eyes wide open. He was not that intimidating. Instead, he gave

people an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

Alyssa smiled. “No. I just feel that grandpa is very energetic.”

Winston appreciated her words. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Alyssa for a few seconds. “Come

here.”

Alyssa turned her head and looked at Emmett. Emmett gave her a reassuring look and lightly pushed

her back, indicating for her to go over.

Although Emmett and Winston’s conversation was a little strange, she could feel that Emmett and

Winston had a good relationship. It could even be said that they were close.

Alyssa obediently walked over and straightened her face. She said seriously, “Grandpa, I am Emmett’s

wife, Alyssa.”

Winston did not speak immediately. He just looked at her quietly. Alyssa was a little nervous when he

looked at her.

Winston seemed to see her nervousness. His face revealed a smile that was similar to a child’s

successful prank. He said with a smile, “You are quite pretty. Sit down.”

Alyssa was stunned. She wanted to turn to look at Emmett again, but she was glared at by Winston.

“Why are you looking at that stinking brat? I let you to sit down!”

Alright, she sat down.

However, hearing people call Emmett “stinking brat,” she actually felt very happy.

Alyssa sat down beside Winston.

When Emmett saw this, he also walked over and wanted to sit beside Alyssa. However, he was kicked

on Emmett’s leg by Winston. “Who asked you to sit!”

Winston’s kick was fast and steady. The force was obviously not light.

Alyssa looked and felt the pain. Emmett frowned slightly. Clearly it was because of the pain.

“Grandpa,” Emmett said helplessly. “This is the first time I brought your granddaughter-in-law home.

Can’t you give me some face?”

“You want face. Who gives me face?” Winston was obviously angrier than Emmett. “Do you remember

the last time you came back to the old residence to see me?”

Emmett heard him and fell silent.

The room fell into a suffocating silence.

Alyssa vaguely understood what the conversation between Emmett and Winston just now meant.

Emmett suspected that his mother’s case back then had the interference of the Lawrence family, so he

rejected the Lawrence family and did not want to return to the Lawrence family.

Today was the first time she was brought back to the old residence by Emmett. The matter between the

grandfather and grandson was not something she should say.

At this moment, the door was pushed open again.

The person who came in was Emmett’s father, George.

George called Winston first, “Dad.”

After that, he turned to look at Emmett. “Someone called me to tell me that Emmett is back. I don’t

believe it. Why didn’t you tell me in advance when you came back? You can have dinner at home

tonight. You can stay at home tonight. Your room has always been cleaned by maids. You can stay at

home directly.”

Winston immediately snorted. “I won’t let him stay. Let him get lost!”

…

In the end, Emmett and Alyssa stayed behind.

While they were eating, a few people were sitting in front of the huge dining table. There was a row of

maids by the side, which made Alyssa very uncomfortable.

After the meal, George had to leave first. Alyssa and Emmett accompanied Winston back to the room.

The maids were boiling water and handing tea to them. Winston took out a red packet and passed it to

Alyssa.

Alyssa did not take it immediately.

Winston stared at her. “What? You dare not accept the gift I gave you?”

Alyssa finally knew where Emmett had inherited the arrogant and presumptuous temperament from.

“Thank you, grandpa.” After Alyssa took it, she felt that the red packet was very thin. She guessed that

it might be something like a check.

No matter what was inside, Alyssa was a little surprised in her heart.

Before coming here, she had always thought that she would be put in a difficult position by Winston.

She did not expect Winston to accept her so easily.

After accompanying Winston for a while to drink tea, Alyssa and Emmett were driven back to their room

to rest.

The room was occupied by Emmett when he was young. After the incident that year, he went overseas.

After returning, he did not return to his old residence and directly stayed in the villa halfway up the

mountain.

The furnishings in the room still left traces of youth. There were posters of basketball stars, robots,

books, and game consoles.
