CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Chapter 369

Angela obediently handed the phone to Alyssa, "Pretty Sister, it’s for you."

Alyssa took the phone and put it to her ear and called, "Mr. Lawrence."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she had subconsciously exposed the fact that she knew who he was.

Emmett did not seem to be surprised at all that Alyssa would know his identity. He only said in a deep voice, "Miss, please tell me the address. I will come to pick her up immediately."

His voice sounded very calm and carried the commanding tone of a superior. It naturally made people subconsciously submit.

Alyssa replied, "Okay."

After that she looked at the billboard of the restaurant and told him their location.

Just as she finished speaking, Emmett hung up the phone.

Hearing the blank sound from the other hand of the phone, Alyssa was a little surprised. Did he not even need to say goodbye to Angela?

He hung up the phone just like that?

Alyssa was still thinking when she felt someone pulling her hand. She turned her head and saw Angela looking at her with her big round eyes.

She blinked and asked, “Where is Daddy?”

Alyssa touched her head and softly say, “He is coming.”

At the Lawrence Group.

The secretary walked into the CEO's office with a stack of files in his arms. He happened to see Emmett hang up the phone and stood up. He picked up his jacket, looking like he was going out.

The secretary quickened his pace and walked over. He said carefully, "President, there will be a very important meeting in ten minutes."

"Put it off." Emmett did not even look at him and walked out.

Since the president had said himself that he was going to postpone the meeting, the secretary naturally didn't have anything to say.

The secretary followed Emmett out and asked, "When will the meeting be held?"

"When I come back." Emmett stopped and glanced at the secretary. His eyebrows were slightly twisted,

indicating his impatience.

None of his secretaries and assistants were suitable for him.

When the secretary saw his gaze, he immediately kept quiet and did not dare to even breathe too

loudly.

When the driver saw that Emmett was going out, he quickly followed.

But Emmett looked at him indifferently, "No need to follow me. I will drive myself."

"But Miss Kathleen said..."

"Do you listen to her or me?" Emmett heard his words and turned his head. He narrowed his eyes and

looked at the driver. "You take my money but listen to other’s command?"

The driver saw that Emmett's expression was not right and quickly explained, "No. . . It's not like that. .

. CEO, it’s just. . ."

Emmett was not in the mood to listen to his nonsense. He directly pushed the driver away and got into

the car.

As he started the car, he called Kathleen.

Just now, he did not ask the woman who called her about why she was with Angela.

Even without asking, he could guess something.

As soon as the phone was connected, Kathleen's dissatisfied voice sounded from the other end of the

phone. She said, "Emmett, I was about to call you. The meeting is about to start. Where are you right

now?"

Three years ago, after Emmett woke up, Kathleen also entered the Lawrence Group to work.

However, at such a time like this, how could Emmett have any mood to care about those meetings?

Although he was famous for being a workaholic.

But between work and his daughter, he also knew what was more important to him.

His voice was very cold, "Don't ever let Marilyn Herbert step into the Lawrence family again in the

future. I'll give you some face, so I let you know first. If I see her in the Lawrence family again, don't

blame me for being impolite."

"Emmett, what are you talking about? Let me ask you, where are you now? I'm going to..." Kathleen did

not know why Emmett was so angry and suddenly called her to say these things.

Emmett did not care what Kathleen said at all. He immediately hung up the phone after finishing his

words.

After hanging up the phone, Emmett found that there was a traffic jam in front of him and he could not

make it for a while.

So he had to take out his phone and call the woman again.

Alyssa and Angela waited in the restaurant for a while but did not see Emmett. Instead, she received a

phone call from him.

"There is a traffic jam here. Please wait for a while. Or, if it is really inconvenient for you, you can send

her to the police station first."

There was not a trace of nervousness in the man's voice. He was so calm that he did not seem like a

father who came to find his lost daughter.

Alyssa said snappily, "It is very convenient for me."

Angela was such a young child. How could Emmett bear to send her to the police station?

After hanging up the phone, Alyssa brought Angela out of the restaurant.

The main thing was that the children usually could not sit still. It was their nature to be active.

Emmett had been stuck in the traffic for quite a long time. By the time he came over, Alyssa had

already brought Angela to the nearby park.

Alyssa and Angela were squatting by the grass in the park and watching the ants move. Behind her

came a man's deep and pleasant voice, "Angela."

Angela was focused on watching the ants move. She was too engrossed that she did not hear Emmett

call her.

Instead, Alyssa was the first to turn her head.

She turned her head and saw a tall and straight man walking towards her. His eyes were focused on

the little girl beside her.

It was already late when Alyssa and Hazel finished shopping. She also brought Angela to eat. After

waiting for Emmett for so long, it was already night time.

The street lamps in the park happened to light up at this time. The man's stern and cold face actually became much gentler under the light.

Emmett was originally a handsome man, but now he was even more pleasing to the eye.

Alyssa could not help but be stunned.

Emmett walked closer and then bent over slightly. He stretched out his long arms and picked up Angela who was squatting on the ground.

Angela was puzzled for a moment. When she saw that the person hugging her was Emmett, she happily called out, "Empett!"

Alyssa was startled and then pursed her lips into a smile.

Emmett narrowed his eyes slightly and said in an unfriendly tone, "Call me Daddy."

"Daddy!" Angela kissed him on the face and said.

A trace of slight tenderness flashed through Emmett’s eyes.

He did not know who this little girl was like. Every time she would deliberately call him by his name to challenge his authority. But as soon as he darkened his face, she would immediately call him Dad, trying to be as meek and obedient as possible.

He was very sure that the little girl's character did not follow him, nor did she take after Marilyn.

Emmett touched her head and carefully swept his gaze over Angela's body. After confirming that she was safe and sound, he turned his head to look at the quiet woman beside him who had not made a sound.

With just a single glance, he felt that this woman gave him a very familiar feeling.

However, he could not at once figure out where he had seen her before.

Alyssa only felt a strange feeling when Emmett stared at her like that. She said, "Since you have come to pick Angela up, I will go back first."

Although she said so, her feet did not move.

It was not that she did not want to leave, but it was Emmett who didn't say anything. So she didn't dare to leave.

She didn't know why she was so afraid of a strange man, but that was the message that came from her mind.

It said, Emmett did not say anything, so she could not leave.

"Thank you very much for taking care of Angela. What kind of reward do you want?"

Emmett finally spoke. Although he was expressing his thanks, looking at his expressionless face, Alyssa did not feel like she was being thanked.

Alyssa shook her head, "No need. No matter who it is, they will not ignore this kind of thing. But I think, you have to take good care of the child in the future."
