The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 402 Persuading Her at the Airport

On the way to the airport, Michael's phone buzzed with an incoming call from Andrew.

The urgent ringing made Michael's head throb.

He could ignore everything except matters concerning Emily.

"I'm swamped right now. Can we talk about work stuff in a couple of hours?"

Michael was about to hang up, ready to block out a string of annoying issues, but Andrew's next words stopped

him cold.

"Mr. Smith! | just got snews! Mrs. Smith left Abigail's place, and almost at the stime, she ended her

partnership with JM Jewelry Company!"

Michael was stunned.

It seemed Bryan was right; Emily was determined to leave him and Emerald City.

But how could she have the nerve to do this?

She was the one at fault, so why wouldn't she admit it? Why did she have to run away and avoid everything?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. His possessiveness over Emily flared up, and he slammed the

steering wheel, accidentally hitting the horn and causing an ear-piercing blare. Andrew, hearing the commotion

on the other end of the line, knew Michael was furious.

"Mr. Smith, maybe Mrs. Smith is just upset and wants to clear her mind."

Just clearing her mind? That simple?

Since the last incident, Michael had always had a question in his mind.

How could Emily be pregnant?

All this time, he was the one who knew nothing.

Emily never disliked the food he bought; it was just too greasy and upset her stomach.

And Emily didn't refuse to make love because she hated him; it was because she was already pregnant.

But if she was pregnant, why didn't she tell him?

Michael didn't believe it. He didn't believe Emily could cheat under his watchful eye, and he couldn't accept that

she would just leave without a word, without an apology or explanation.

Meanwhile, Andrew was still trying to calm Michael down.

He was incredibly loyal and had seen Michael and Emily's quarrels from the beginning. Andrew knew a lot about

the Smith family matters, and now that he knew Emily had left, he was happy for her. After all, she could finally

have her own life.

But seeing them constantly misunderstand each other and even live apart was just wrong.

He continued, "Mr. Smith, there's one more thing... You askedto look into why Mrs. Smith frequently visited

the OB-GYN at Emerald City Harmony Hospital and why she was close to Dr. Wilson.

"Actually, Mrs. Smith didn't do anything to betray you. She had to deal with the hospital for her health, and Dr.

Wilson happened to be a friend.

"Before calling you, | confirmed with the hospital. They know Mrs. Smith is your wife,

so they allowedto take a photo of her file and send it to you."

As Andrew reported, a message notification popped up.

Andrew sent a photo of Emily's pregnancy report.

Michael's hands trembled even more as he looked at the report in disbelief. It clearly stated that Emily was

indeed pregnant, about six months along.

Michael didn't understand. He couldn't believe it. She had been telling the truth all along, even though Daniel

had explained it to him, he still had doubts.

After looking at the report for a while, he finally accepted the truth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a boarding announcement for flight $2127 from Emerald City to Everglade City.

We are now ready to board at Gate 5A. Please have your boarding passes and identification ready. Thank you."

Emily didn't have much to take with her. The vanity table had already been sent to Everglade City, so she only

needed to pack stoiletries and head to the airport alone.

She didn't want to take anything else from Emerald City with her.

Everything there had traces of him. Taking them would only restart memories, making her departure

meaningless. Thinking of this, a phrase popped into Emily's mind: "No love, no burden."

Yes, leaving without any attachment was the best.

Emily gently touched her belly.

In Emerald City, to avoid trouble and not be entangled with the Smith family, she had to hide her growing belly.

But now, it was all over. She didn't need to hide it anymore; she was going to start a new life with her baby on

the way.

Perhaps because of her pregnancy, she was more sensitive. Thinking about the past, Emily's eyes welled up, but

she kept walking.

Emily walked towards the boarding gate, her steps becoming more determined and light.

Fate seemed to be predetermined, with each person having their own path, impossible to shake off or discard.

“Emily!”

The familiar shout and strong pull forced Emily to stop.

She was shocked, unable to believe it. Why was Michael always trying to hold her back? Would she never be able

to escape?

"Emily, where are you going?"

"None of your business!"

In the bustling airport, people were coming and going. Everyone had their own matters to attend to.

At this moment, Emily wished she could be like them, just an ordinary person, free from the Smith family's

constraints and Michael's twisted, fake care.

For a moment, Emily felt overwhelmed. ;She broke free from Michael's grip, standing in front of him with tear-

filled eyes.

Her vulnerability, along with her large belly, was exposed to Michael.

"Why are you here? How did you know | was leaving?"

She continued shouting, "Michael, why won't you letgo! My mother is dead, | just want to find a place where

no one knowsand live peacefully. Why won't you allow it? What do | owe you? Haven't | paid enough?"

Emily's emotions grew more intense.

She didn't notice Michael looking at her belly, his face full of disbelief, sadness, and helplessness.

After a long time, they both calmed down.

Emily's desire to leave alone was once again thwarted.

Because of this, no matter how calm she was, she couldn't face Michael, the man who

had dragged her into the abyss over and over again, making it impossible for her to break free.

"Emily." Michael tried to talk to her. "That's our child, right? He's a Smith, right?"

He knelt in front of Emily, his tone incredibly gentle, but despite this, Emily remained silent, unmoved, and even

a bit resentful.

"So what? What do you mean?"

Emily's question left Michael stunned.

"What do | mean? Emily, the child is mine, he's a Smith, he's ours. You should have told
