CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Emmett let go of her and said in a rare gentle voice, “You should take an afternoon nap.”

After she got pregnant, Alyssa had the habit of taking an afternoon nap. She did not sleep very long but habitually needed to take a nap.

Her mind was a little confused, so she nodded. “Yes.”

She laid on the bed and closed her eyes, thinking that she would not be able to sleep, but in a short while she fell asleep.

Seeing Alyssa fall asleep, Emmett tucked the corner of the blanket for her and got up to go out.

Emmett carefully closed the door and walked all the way to a date tree in the yard.

That was the tree his mother planted when he was very young. He did not remember exactly how old he was at that time.

It was late winter. The date tree was bare without a single leaf. There was not even a single leaf under the tree because there were maids cleaning the yard every day.

Footsteps came from behind him.

Then came Dylan’s voice. “People say that we are very close to each other, but they only see the surface.”

The two of them are about the same height and size. Standing facing each other, they actually feel like they are evenly matched.

Dylan smiled, and his tone was as gentle as usual. “For the sake of Alyssa, you wanted to terminate the contract with me. You even did not hesitate to smear my reputation online. What closeness did we have, huh?”

Emmett did not even blink. He was not moved at all. “For the sake of Skylar, you can even step on your dignity. You are nothing more than this.”

You are nothing more than that.

This sentence fiercely impacted Dylan’s eardrums.

His expression instantly became very ferocious. “Why do you look down on me?”

Emmett still had the same expressionless face. “I do look down on you. If you really want to deal with me, come straight at me. Don’t attack a woman, especially a pregnant woman.”

Skylar drove to Alyssa because she was instigated by Dylan.

It was because of this incident that he completely angered Emmett.
