The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 47 Taking Her to the Hospital for a Checkup

Emily handed the phone to Michael, who was just standing there like a statue. "You planning to stand here forever?" she asked, a bit annoyed. Michael just grinned, trying to keep his cool. "You can't even lie right. Grandpa knows I never go running in the morning." With that, he turned and walked away. Emily's face tightened, and she shook her fist

She regretted helping him out; she should've let Mason chew him out. But Mason had already called, telling them to come back to the old house.

his retreating back in frustration.

Emily was sure it was because of Michael's latest scandal. Just thinking about it gave her a headache, but she had no choice but to go back. Every time she returned, she felt a knot of anxiety. The only comfort she had was her grandfather's kindness.

As soon as Emily got to the old house, Scarlett called her over.

Scarlett was lounging on the sofa, looking at Emily with disdain. She took a sip of her tea and said, "I heard you agreed to divorce Michael a while ago. Why haven't you two done it yet?"

Emily was used to her jabs by now, thinking, 'Doesn't Michael have to agree too?'

But she kept her cool and replied, "We'll get divorced when Michael has time."

Scarlett gave her a hard look. "Fine, as long as you agree. If it weren't for Michael's grandfather insisting you marry into the Smith Family, I wouldn't have let you marry him. Now that you're willing to divorce, it's for the best. Someone of your illegitimate status doesn't deserve Michael. Fine, since you said so, I won't make it difficult for you. Find a time to divorce Michael."

Emily nodded. "I'll discuss it with him."

Just as she finished speaking, Michael walked over and said, "Mom, I advise you not to interfere in our matters."

Scarlett's face darkened. "Michael, I'm doing this for your own good. There are so many wealthy girls lining up to marry you, yet you insist on being with Emily. What are you thinking?"

Michael shot her a cold look. "I said, you don't need to worry about my affairs." Then he turned to Emily. "Aren't you leaving? Planning to eat here?"
