CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Arthur didn’t even wait for the others to say anything more as he took his seat at the dining table. The two men quickly sat together, eyeing the dishes being plated in front of them. Although they may look ‘simple’, they were way better than those being served at the restaurants they had always eaten every day of the week!

Now, only Emmett was left standing by the doorway. A dark expression appeared on his looks, and he still made no move to come inside.

Alyssa blinked.

What was wrong with him?

Seeing that the two men still made no plans of leaving, he didn’t have any other choice on this matter. After a minute, Emmett finally walked into the dining room and sat at the table. His expression remained impassive as he stared at the blank space ahead of him.

She cleared her throat, unsure of what to say. “I’ll get two more bowls for the both of you.”

Just as she was about to leave, Emmett suddenly kicked the two men opposite him. He gritted his teeth and looked coldly at the two men. “Don’t you know how to get your own bowls? You guys have a pair of legs, don’t you?”

She was already giving them food. There wasn’t any need to tire his wife out by asking her to fetch them some bowls and utensils! If they really wanted someone to cook and serve them during their free time, then perhaps they should get their own wives rather than hound around his woman.

Seeing his dark features, Xavier and Arthur immediately went to the kitchen to get their bowls.

Alyssa was stunned at how the two men had obediently followed. Even if they weren’t as rich as the Lawrence family, they were certainly prestigious when it came to their professions. She couldn’t really tell why they’d follow “Justin” around, especially since they weren’t talking with the Young Master of the Lawrence family.

She eyed the man wearily, unsure of what to say.

Since the two had already gone up to get their bowls, she had no choice but to sit back down and wait for them.

They have already seated all around her. But just as she was about to eat herself, she heard the crisp sound of chopsticks hitting against each other.

When she looked up, she saw that the three men were fighting over the dishes. Justin’s actions were more excessive than usual. Every time Xavier went to pick up a piece, he’d poke him with his chopsticks, taking whatever he was taking. The same was done to Arthur.

Alyssa quietly ate, staring at the utensil battle that was happening right before her. Although they were three of the richest men in the city, she didn’t regard them that way. All she could see were three kids trying to get a bite of the pork in front of them.

It was Arthur who first felt her gaze. He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “I haven’t been home for three years. It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten any home-cooked food.”

Xavier soon followed, “The Company has been busy, so I’ve only eaten takeout everyday.”

“Don’t listen to any of their nonsense.” Emmett intercepted, shooting them a glare.
