CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

She must stay far away from “Justin” if she knew what’s good for her. The man just didn’t know when to stop! Even as the cool breeze brushed up against her face, the warmth still hadn’t faded as much as she would like it to.

Just as she was about to check the time, a car stopped right beside her. She turned her head almost instinctively to see that the window had been lowered, revealing “Justin’s” cold dark eyes. In an instant, she froze.

The moment their gazes collided Alyssa felt her entire world stopping before her. A light shiver shot down her spine, followed by the warmth of natural sunlight. Quickly moving her eyes away, she quickened her pace.

Emmett drove slowly and closely followed her. He kept his car alongside her and said in a low voice with a commanding tone, “Get in the car.”

“There’s no need.” She continued her walk and she said.

Although surprised, Emmett understood where it was coming from. She wanted to draw a line with him, at least, with ‘Justin’. Given that he was technically her brother-in-law, it would be inappropriate to lengthen their contact with each other.

The corners of his lips rose into a cool smile. “When will you realize the truth?” He shook his head, his words remained unheard by the woman walking ahead of him.

Alyssa continued to walk. However, as soon as she sensed that the car wasn’t following her anymore, she couldn’t help but turn back.

The car was already parked at the side of the road, and “Justin” had already stepped out. He was walking towards her. His face was covered with indifference and determination. There was something about the way he walked that looked a little intimidating.

Within a few seconds, he picked her by the waist and carried her into the car before she could react. After stuffing her into the passenger seat, he slammed the door shut.

Alyssa was dumbfounded. What the hell just happened now?

“Justin!” Alyssa was so angry that she laughed. “Can you stop messing around?”

“Who’s messing around?” Emmett glanced at her coldly before continuing his drive down the road.

“Who do you think?”

He acted as if he didn’t hear her as he stared straight ahead at the road. After a few seconds of silence, he tilted his head. “Address?”

Alyssa didn’t answer him. Instead of asking again, he simply grabbed her phone from her pockets and flipped to the message that Aurora had sent her. It was the address of the restaurant they were meeting at.

“Did you eavesdrop on me?” With her eyes wide, she snatched the phone from his grip. Otherwise, how would he know that she was going out to see Aurora?
