The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

After listening to Andrew's report, Michael simply smiled, not even showing any sign of emotion on his face.

Andrew couldn't help but feel curious. "Mr. Smith, aren't you worried about Mrs. Smith..."

Andrew hesitated, afraid he might say something wrong again. Michael leisurely picked

up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

"Seems like she's doing just fine. She's even got the energy to play pranks."

Michael knew Emily very well.

It was clear that Emily was up to something or dealing with someone.

That was why she called Andrew over.

Whoever it was didn't matter. As long as she was happy.

If she was happy, he was happy too.

Thinking about this, Michael's lips curled into a slight smile. He took another sip of coffee and said calmly,

"Go ahead, just make sure to keep an eye on Mrs. Smith."

Andrew was still puzzled, but at least he understood his mission. He immediately accepted the order and left, pondering Michael's intentions.

The convoy sped off towards Emerald Lake Manor.

Though Andrew had doubts, he trusted and anticipated Emily's plans.

After all, such a scenario was rare, especially one directed by Emily. Meanwhile, Tom had already arrived at Emerald Lake Manor with gifts in hand. He had never been to such a luxurious neighborhood. Even though he often freeloaded at the Brown family's place, it was just a small suburban house, incomparable to the grandeur of Emerald Lake Manor.

Standing at the gate, Tom took a deep breath, feeling a surge of emotion.

"No wonder she cut ties with Hayden! Having such a wealthy husband is enough!" Suppressing his excitement, Tom pressed the doorbell of Emerald Lake Manor. He trembled with anticipation, thrilled at the prospect of connecting with Emily. Who would have thought Emily was so lucky to marry into such a wealthy family? The large iron gate slowly opened, and Lexine came to greet him.

She had already heard Emily's arrangements and was now waiting for Tom to come in."Tom, right? Mrs. Smith specifically asked me to welcome you."

Tom, at least, had some manners, knowing to bring gifts when visiting. Lexine had checked them all; they were decent supplements and nutritious items.

But someone like him, always looking to take advantage, carried an air of poverty. Lexine took one look at him and didn't bother with conversation, simply leading the way.

Meanwhile, the opulent interior of the villa dazzled Tom, leaving him in awe.

"My goodness! Is this a place for people to live? It's like a palace!"

Tom wasn't entirely unfamiliar with luxury.

But after Emily's childbirth, Emerald Lake Manor had undergone a simple renovation, making it even more splendid.

Moreover, Emerald Lake Manor was Michael's most prized property, their wedding home, in a prime location with excellent lighting. The layout was designed by the best landscape architect in Emerald City.

Now, the courtyard was surrounded by a flower garden.

Exotic plants thrived, flowers bloomed, their fragrance attracting bees and butterflies, creating a mesmerizing scene.

Closer to the villa, it felt like a royal palace, showcasing earthly luxury. The white stucco walls and light red roof tiles complemented each other, and the bright sunlight reflecting off the windows created a crystal-like brilliance.

Tom felt his visit was wise.

He secretly planned how to use this opportunity to get closer to Emily for future benefits.

Tried to stay calm, he couldn't hide the greed in his eyes.

Lexine saw through him but said nothing.

She smiled and led him through the corridor, making Tom feel like he was walking on clouds.

Finally, they reached the living room.

Emily sat elegantly on the sofa, her gaze at Tom calm yet playful.

Tom's heart tightened, and he quickly put on a smile, greeting her respectfully.noveldrama

"Emily, it's been years! Look at you, getting more beautiful!"

Emily smiled slightly, not commenting, then gestured for him to sit.

"Uncle Tom, you're looking more spirited too."

Emily maintained a friendly smile.

Seeing this, Tom felt nervous but knew about the past between Emily and Sophia.

Now that he was here, Emily was treating him well.

This was good, giving him a chance to act. If he could please Emily, he wouldn't have

to worry about the future!

Once Tom was seated, Emily raised her eyes and said calmly,

"Uncle Tom, it's rare for you to visit. We must treat you well. Tell me what you'd like to eat, and I'll have the kitchen prepare it. As for drinks, we have coffee, soda, or maybe just water!"

"I just gave birth recently, and there are many household chores. I hope you

understand if the hospitality isn't perfect."

Tom was flattered by Emily's politeness, feeling increasingly elated.

He completely forgot that he had no blood relation to Emily and didn't realize that in

her eyes, he was just a beggar, laughable and pitiful.

Tom nodded eagerly, starting to plan how to make his request.

Emily had already seen through his intentions but didn't expose him, quietly sipping her coffee, waiting for him to reveal himself.

The atmosphere in the living room was subtle. Emily didn't speak, nor did she ask why

he was there. Her calm demeanor made Tom increasingly uneasy, unable to break the silence.

Finally, Emily felt that dragging this out was wasting Andrew's time.

After all, there was work to be done at Smith Corporation. She couldn't spend all day with Tom.

So, Emily took a sip of hot water, then put down the cup and asked softly,

"Uncle Tom, is there something urgent you need? Or are you just here to see your long-lost niece?"

Tom sighed in relief, laughed awkwardly, and rubbed his hands,

"Actually, there's nothing urgent. I just wanted to see you and your adorable son!"

"I heard he's already a month old. Time flies!"

"Back then, I watched you grow up, Emily!"
