CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Chapter 70

Alyssa sliced the tomatoes and beef, cooking up tomato beef noodles for the both of them.

As she was slicing the beef, “Justin” stood by her side and didn’t leave. Ever since he had apologized, he had been standing there this entire time, she noticed. After a while, he uttered, “You cut slowly.”

Her gaze became incredulous. The man had never even cooked in his life before, and he was insulting her?

Cutting them into strips even faster, Alyssa looked up at him. “If you plan on commenting on my every move, then I suggest you get out. It’s best that you don’t stand in the way.”

It was the middle of the night, and after the argument they just had, the loneliness felt even more prominent. Emmett didn’t want to stay in the dining room alone, so he decided to stand over the counter and watch her move around.

He raised his eyebrows, quickly finding an excuse. “I must watch you. What if you do poison me? I’m not looking to die just yet.”

“You think I’m that stupid? How could I jeopardize my own life like that? After all, you did pay three hundred million dollars for me. That would’ve been such a waste.” Her eyes glinted mockingly as she stared at the soup she had been stirring.

Although her words were more directed to herself, there was an unintentional bitterness hidden in her tone.

And Emmett took it seriously.

“The matter had been discussed between both elders. My cousin didn’t intend it to be like this, you know.” He said, the words slipping out of his mouth before he could even stop himself

“I’m not blaming him. Besides, why are you acting so strange?” Alyssa raised up an eyebrow. “The first day I came here, you insulted him by calling him a cripple. Now, you’re speaking up for him. Are you even on good terms?”

“What do you think?”

‘I think you’re a shameless lunatic!’

At least, she only dared to say this deep inside her heart. There were just some times when she couldn’t read the two’s brotherhood.

Alyssa brought the two bowls of noodles to the table with a sigh.

Perhaps because it was late at night, the two of them had placed their guards down and continued to chat as they ate. The tension between them had dissipated almost completely as they talked the night away.

However, most of the time, Alyssa was the one doing the talking. “To about Emmett…” she asked him of his favorite color, food, and the like, wanting to know more of the man that she had already married.

But every time she tried to ask, Emmett simply shrugged and responded like “Yes”, “No”, “I don’t know.”
