CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

In the end, they didn’t watch a movie. Alyssa had been chatting with Justin.

Justin lived overseas for a long time and did not have many friends in the country. These words were

probably held in his heart for too long. He could not find anyone to confide in.

Coincidentally, Alyssa was willing to listen and he said everything.

From the things he said, she could vaguely hear some clues.

Justin’s parents pretended to have a good relationship. He had a brother who looked gentle on the

surface but actually killed small animals. These things would indeed have some effect on Justin at his

age.

When Alyssa came out of the screening room, she coincidentally met Emmett who was going in to look

for her.

She walked in front while Justin followed behind.

Emmett’s face was dark. He was obviously angry at Justin’s action of calling Alyssa to watch the

movie.

Alyssa was already tired from dealing with the people from the Lawrence family. She had promised to

go to rest but was even dragged along by Justin to watch the movie. Of course, he did not have a good

expression towards Justin.

Justin curled his lips and moved behind Alyssa.

It had been so long since they last met but his cousin’s gaze was still so lethal.

Justin was very afraid.

Alyssa looked at Emmett with disapproval. She turned to Justin and said, “Justin, go back to your room

and rest for a while.”

“Okay.” Justin ran as fast as the wind as if he had been granted amnesty.

Emmett pursed his lips and said coldly, “Alyssa, you are pregnant now. You don’t have to

accommodate him. He is just a child who likes to mess around…”

“Is somebody speaking饇悌? I can’t hear him.” Alyssa covered her ears with her hands and walked

towards the bedroom as she spoke.

Emmett’s face darkened. He was so angry that his voice became heavy. “Alyssa!”

Alyssa turned around and reached out her hand to stroke her lower abdomen. She blinked her eyes

and said seriously, “Don’t be so loud. You are scaring our baby.”

Emmett took a deep breath and told himself not to argue with Alyssa, this stupid woman.

Alyssa saw that he was holding back his anger and could not help but smile. But then she thought that

he was doing it for her own good, so she pulled his arm back and tried to please him. “Okay, okay, let’s

go back to our room to rest.”

In front of Alyssa, Emmett’s temper always came and went quickly.

When they returned to their room, Alyssa was pressed onto the bed by Emmett. He covered her with a

blanket and ordered, “Go to sleep.”

Alyssa and Justin had chatted for so long so Alyssa did not feel sleepy. “I have something to tell you.”

“We will talk after you wake up.” Emmett ignored her expectant look.

Alyssa ignored him and said, “How is your aunt and uncle’s relationship?”

“In grandpa’s eyes, they are a model couple who love each other very much.” After Emmett finished

himself, Emmett laughed at himself. In Grandpa’s eyes, his mother and George loved each other as

well.

“But Justin just told me that he felt that his parents did not love each other much. They seemed to have

been pretending.” Alyssa sighed. “If we are together for a long time, will we also become like that?”

Emmett answered with certainty, “We will not.”

“Really?” Alyssa was touched.

In the next second, she heard Emmett say quietly, “Are you thinking about having an affair with other

men? You are pregnant with my child, you know that?”

His tone was a little dangerous.

Alyssa stole a glance at him from the corner of her eye and found that he was looking at her with

narrowed eyes. It was as if he would punish her if she said something that he was not satisfied with.

Alyssa had always been a person with a strong sense of survival. So she knew how to please him.

She grabbed Emmett’s hand and smiled brightly. “How is that possible? Which man is prettier and

richer than you?”

“You mean, if there is a man who is prettier and richer than me, you will choose him and abandon me?”

Emmett’s expression became even more dangerous.

Alyssa felt that her answer was very sincere, but Emmett did not walk the normal path.

In the entire Holston City, was there a man who was prettier and richer than him?

This was completely impossible!

She was trying to change the way to praise him!

In the end, the main point he was trying to grasp was completely different from what she wanted to

express.

She was indeed unable to keep up with the thoughts of smart people.

“How is that possible!” Alyssa raised her voice and tried to sound sincere.

Emmett looked relieved but did not say anything.

Alyssa pulled his hand to her lips and gently kissed the back of his hand. “What I said is true.”

She felt Emmett’s hand stiffen. When she looked up, she saw Emmett’s expression was a little uneasy.

Emmett was originally sitting on the edge of the bed. When she looked at him, he immediately turned

his head. “Go to sleep. I still have things to take care of.”

Alyssa was stunned. Was he… embarrassed?

He was quite good at flirting with her. She only kissed the back of his hand affectionately. And he

became so embarrassed?

Alyssa wanted to kiss him again but Emmett seemed to have expected her next move. He quickly

pulled his hand away. “I’m going to the study room.”

Emmett had just left the bedroom. Before he closed the door, he heard Alyssa’s unrestrained laughter

from inside.

Emmett’s expression darkened when he closed the door. His face alternated between red and white.

He was awkward and did not notice Jessie walking towards him with something important in her hands.

So he and Jessie bumped into each other.

There was a cup of soup on Jessie tray. It was prepared for Alyssa.

In the end, all the soup was poured on Emmett.

Emmett’s reaction was very quick. He subconsciously lifted the hand that Alyssa had kissed just now to

avoid getting wet by the soup.

Jessie saw him raise that hand and asked with some concern, “Young Master, your hand is not

scalded, right?”

“No.”

Jessie was worried, “Let me take a look?”

“No need.” Emmett took a step back and grabbed the hand that Alyssa kissed with his other hand. He

walked around Jessie and left.

Jessie looked at Emmett’s back and murmured, “Why does he treasure his hand so much? He must be

injured.”

So when Alyssa woke up, she heard the maid say that Emmett’s hand was injured.

Alyssa’s face tightened. “How did he get hurt?”

When she slept earlier, he was still fine. Why did Emmett’s hand get hurt when she woke up?

“Where is he?” Alyssa asked.

The maid respectfully said, “Mr. Lawrence is still in the study room and hasn’t come out.”

Alyssa heard the maid say so and was a little stunned. If he had been in the study room all this time,

how did he get injured?

Alyssa was puzzled but still went to Emmett’s study room.

Standing at the door of the study room, Alyssa knocked on the door and walked in. “They said your

hand was injured? Let me see.”

Emmett was working at the table. He was surprised to hear that, but he soon understood what was

going on.

His expression became unnatural. He sounded angry. “I’m not hurt. I still need to work. You go out

first.”
