CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

And after looking at “Justin’s” face, she could tell that she wasn’t making this up. Most of the time, his expression usually held an aura of coldness and indifference. He didn’t have to speak to make his presence known to the people around him, especially her.

However, this time, his eyebrows were more furrowed over, and his eyes glinted dangerously. He was like a predator who had just lost his prey. He clenched his fingers around his fork so tightly that a part of her was afraid that it would break.

Picking up a piece of fish, she placed it in his bowl. “Try this. I sprinkled in a little bit of pepper today, so I’m not sure if you’d like it.” She said gently, trying her best to erase the tension in the atmosphere.

Instead of eating it, “Justin” picked it up with his chopsticks and threw it across the table.

Alyssa frowned.

Had she done something to piss him off? Her lips pursed together as she racked her mind at all the things she did to him when she had just gotten back. Suddenly, a thought occurred to her. Was he angry because she had thrown her bag at him?

No. Although he wasn’t a forgiving man, he wasn’t petty.

As if Emmett was reading through her thoughts, he looked up. “Where did you go last Friday?”

“What?” Alyssa was too busy staring at her plate that she didn’t get to hear what he had just said.

Emmett placed his chopsticks back onto the bow. His eyes darkened immensely, and his gaze locked onto her small frame. His voice was clear as it echoed across the dining room. “Where did you go last Friday? Who did you meet with?”

Alyssa was stunned. She looked up at him. “What do you mean?”

An uncomfortable feeling shrouded upon her. Was he interrogating her?

“Are you starting to feel guilty? Have you hidden it from my cousin then? Couldn’t you take it longer then? That you just have to have an affair?” He smiled mockingly, leaning back against his seat.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Although this wasn’t the first time he had said this, this was the only time he had said it so excessively. It was as if he had already caught her right in the act.
