The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 61 The True Face of Sophia

Emily swung her hand to slap him, but Michael grabbed it again, holding it above her head. "Try that again, and I'll kiss you," he warned. Fuming, Emily snapped, "Why the hell did you bite me?"

"Fair's fair," Michael said, pointing to his own busted lip.

Emily glared daggers at him. "Michael, I didn't know you could be this shameless and childish. What's next? Marital rape?"

Michael's face twisted with anger and hurt. He wished he could shut her up. 'Why does she have to be such a prickly hedgehog now?'

He let go of her hand, snorted, and looked down at her. "Emily, you're just trying to piss me off, aren't you? You want me so mad I drop dead, so you don't have to get a divorce." Emily sat up, smirking. "Yep, if you kick the bucket, I get your estate without the hassle."

They bickered like kids, neither backing down. Finally, Michael stormed out, and Emily huffed, got into bed, and pulled the covers over her head.

For the Smith Corporation, finding out who locked Emily in the cold storage was a piece of cake. They didn't even need the cops. That night, Michael had Andrew bring Sophia to his office.

Sophia looked a bit off, probably from Veda's slap, with a noticeable mark on her face. But Michael felt no pity for her anymore. Sophia asked, "Michael, how's Emily? I want to see her, but I'm scared she'll be upset. Is she okay?" For the first time, Michael looked at Sophia with cold eyes, like he was seeing her for the first time.

Sophia felt uneasy under his gaze but tried to play it cool. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You're scared to see Emily? Is it fear or

She dropped to her knees,
