CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 436

Upon closer inspection, Emmett's tone seemed to contain a hint of pride.

Xavier felt that his past understanding of Emmett was still too shallow. He did not expect Emmett, a distant and cold man, would like to show off in front of others.

However, seeing how deep their relationship was, Xavier felt that it was necessary to remind Emmett.

"Emmett, do you know a popular line on the Internet?"

"I don't know." Obviously, Emmett didn't want to hear what Xavier was going to say.

Xavier did not mind being disrespected by Emmett. He continued, "The saying is that a man will pay for ignoring his wife even though he feels good now."

Emmett coldly asked, "Does this have anything to do with me?"

His tone was dangerous and cold. Even if Xavier was a fool, he knew how to answer.

"No. It has nothing to do with you. . ." It had nothing to do with you now, but it would have something to do with you in the future.

Emmett snorted. Xavier did not forget what he had to do. "I'll send you the address of Alyssa. Come over tonight."

Emmett rejected firmly, "I am not going."

Xavier had nothing to say.

Although Emmett said he was not going, Xavier still sent him Alyssa's address after he hung up the phone.

If Emmett recovered his memory in the future, don't blame him for not helping. There were only a few people he could help Emmett.

However, Xavier felt a little pleased when he thought of Emmett's regret after he recovered his memory.

He was looking forward to it.

Alyssa called Emmett twice, but Emmett did not answer.

She thought Emmett was in a meeting.

But when she thought about Emmett's attitude towards her recently, she felt that it was very likely that Emmett did not want to answer her phone.

So, she called Xavier and asked him to try calling Emmett.

She waited left and right. She did not see Xavier call her back. She guessed that Emmett might have picked up Xavier's phone and was talking to Xavier.

Although she had prepared herself, she still felt a little depressed.

Emmett really did not answer her phone.

Alyssa leaned back and fell on the sofa.

She was a little tired these days. It was not that she did not remember to call Emmett.

However, what he said the day before was a blow to her. He said it was just her wishful thinking.

"Mommy."

Angela ran out of the room with a pink rabbit in her arms. She ran to the sofa and leaned on the edge of the sofa. She looked at Alyssa eagerly, "Look at this rabbit."

Alyssa asked her, "Do you like it?"

This pink rabbit was bought by her when she went out to buy things yesterday.

Angela nodded repeatedly, "Yes."

Alyssa reached out to touch her hair.

At this time, Xavier called.

Alyssa immediately sat up from the sofa and asked urgently, "How is it?"

"Emmett answered the phone, but he..."

Alyssa guessed the result when she heard Xavier stuttering.

"He won’t come, will he?"

"Yes."

"I know. Thank you. You came over for dinner tonight. I even called Hazel."

"Okay, okay, okay. I’ll be there on time."

As long as there was Hazel, he would even walk into a trap, let alone for dinner.

Alyssa and Xavier exchanged a few words before hanging up the phone.

Seemingly sensing Alyssa's low mood, Angela softly called out. "Mommy."

Alyssa reached out and pinched Angela's face, "We are going out to buy things, meat, and vegetables. Then we will cook and invite Aunt Hazel and the others over to eat."

Angela's eyes lit up, "I am going to eat meat and lollipop."

Alyssa shook her head, "You can’t eat candy until tomorrow."

Angela loved eating sugar too much. Alyssa made the rule that she could only have it once every two days.

Angela pouted, clearly unhappy. "I want it now.”

Alyssa picked her up and said, "Today we’ll have meat."

"Okay." Although she was reluctant, she was still very satisfied to have meat to eat.

Alyssa brought Angela to the supermarket to buy a pile of food.

She had moved to a new place and invited a few friends over to dinner. It could be considered a new start ceremony.

She had planned the dinner for herself, Emmett, Hazel and Xavier.

Now that Emmett was not coming, there would just be the three of them.

Even if there were only three of them, Alyssa still cooked a lot of dishes.

She also prepared some wine.

Hazel and Xavier came one after the other.

In the afternoon, Alyssa brought Angela out to buy things, So Angela did not take an afternoon nap.

Angela started to doze off when it was time for dinner.

Alyssa could only quickly feed her and bring Angela to her room to sleep.

Angela was not picky about beds and fell asleep as soon as she lay on it.

Alyssa confirmed that she had fallen asleep and stuffed the pink rabbit into her arms before leaving the room.

Hazel softly asked her, "Is she asleep?"

"Yes." Alyssa nodded and said, "The house is soundproofed very well. It's fine if you are a bit louder."

Today, she turned on the television in the living room and went back to her room. She did not hear a single sound. So she guessed the house might be soundproofed.

Hazel picked up a cup and poured wine for her, "Drink some wine."

Alyssa made a gesture with her fingers, "Just a little."

In the end, Hazel poured half a cup for her.

When she and Hazel were about to drink after clinking their glasses, the doorbell rang.

Alyssa drank the wine and glanced at the door from the corner of her eye.

Hazel kicked Xavier under the table and Xavier quickly stood up. "I'll go open the door."

Xavier opened the door and saw Emmett standing outside expressionlessly.

Xavier was stunned for a moment and then said. "Emmett is here."

Emmett narrowed his eyes and looked at Xavier. "What are you doing here?"

The way he looked at Xavier was just like Emmett was the husband who caught his wife with an adulterer. It made Xavier's scalp tingle.

"I'm not just your friend. Alyssa and I are also friends, okay?"

Emmett glanced at him and walked in.

Xavier closed the door and followed behind him. He muttered to himself, "Even if this person has lost his memory, why is he so petty?"

Alyssa drank half a cup of wine and turned her head to look at the door. She wanted to see who had come.

When she saw Emmett, she was so shocked that she opened her mouth slightly. When Emmett came closer, she said, "Emmett? Why are you here?"

Didn't he say he wouldn't come?

Going back on his word wasn't his style. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Emmett looked at her coldly. His tone was dangerous. "Am I not welcome here?”

"No." Alyssa quickly stood up and pulled him to sit down on the chair beside her.

As Alyssa pulled his hand, Emmett slightly held her back. He felt that her palm was soft as if it had no bones.

Although she let go of his hand, as soon as she pulled him to a chair and sat down, Emmett, however, felt that the place where she held his hands still had a bit of a numbing feeling.

It was as if there was an electric current running through it.

Alyssa gave Emmett a set of chopsticks and chopsticks. She asked him in a low voice, "Have you had dinner?"

Emmett noticed the concern in her eyes, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he only said, "I came to see Angela."
