CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Chapter 401

Only then did Emmett pick Angela up in his arms and hugged her in the same posture he used to hold Alyssa.

Angela was small and tender. It was obvious that she was not comfortable being hugged like this. It was as if she was lying on the ground.

She kicked her short legs and was about to get up when Emmett held her straight.

He held Angela with one hand and turned around to use his free other hand to push open the door to the study room.

He walked in and looked at the mess in the room. He thought for a moment and put Angela to the side. He squatted down and started to pick things up.

Angela probably thought the room was too messy. She tiptoed to the edge of the sofa, twisted her body and climbed onto the sofa neatly. She rubbed the little tiger doll in her arms and looked at Emmett.

The child was very active. After a few seconds, she asked Emmett curiously, "Daddy, what are you doing?"

Emmett said without looking up, "The thing fell to the ground. I have to pick them up."

"Oh, I'll help you pick it up." Angela excitedly slid down from the sofa and ran to Emmett's side. She started to help him pick up the scattered papers on the ground.

However, she did not pick it up neatly like Emmett did. She just stuffed it all into her arms and wrinkled it into a ball. Finally, she gave it to Emmett with a proud look. "I picked them up!"

Emmett took them over and touched her head. "You should go and play."

Angela curled her lips and said. "Okay."

She also felt that it was not fun to pick things up.

At her age, she liked cute little toys with colorful flowers. She had no interest in these white papers with black characters printed on them.

When Emmett picked up the documents and put them back, there was a knock on the door.

Emmett's voice was slightly cold. "Who is it?"

Alyssa paused outside the door and said, "It's me. Is Angela still here? I heated a cup of milk for her. It’s time for her to take a bath and sleep."

Only then did Emmett notice that it was almost 10 o'clock.

He turned around to look at Angela and found she was listening to Alyssa carefully.

She obediently sat on the sofa and slightly tilted her head slightly. Her two eyes were moving around. Clearly, she was attracted by Alyssa's warm voice outside the door.
