The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 40 Taking Responsibility

Michael had never really dug into her past; all he knew was she was Hayden's illegitimate kid. He didn't give a damn about her or Sophia's issues, which was why he could speak so confidently. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly held them back.

Michael was a bit thrown off by Emily's sudden serious tone. He stood up and said, "Emily, I don't care about you and Hayden, but don't drag me into your mess. If you want a divorce, either cancel the deal with Hayden or wait three months for the notarized document to expire."
