The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 62 My Husband

Abigail knew Sophia wouldn't miss a chance like this and wondered what kind of mess she'd stir up this time. She was worried Emily would get played again.

Emily nodded and said, "Alright, I'll have someone send the dress over in a bit."

Emily had planned to go with Abigail, but Michael had threatened that if she didn't go with him, he wouldn't give Abigail an invitation. Furious, Emily called him "childish" and stormed into Michael's car.

And Abigail's worry was spot on. Tonight's auction was packed with big shots. It was more of a high-society shindig than a real auction. The main goal was to throw some money around for charity. As the head of the Smith Family, Michael wasn't about to miss such a charity auction.

That evening, Emily was still feeling a bit off. Daniel had suggested she skip the crowded event, saying it wouldn't be good for her. But Emily touched her belly and said, "Baby, you gotta behave today. We're getting back grandma's stuff." Emily wanted to rest, but she had no choice today. She had to retrieve the "Lucky" that Isabella had left for her.

Emily knew it wouldn't be easy to get it back smoothly, so she and Abigail had already arranged for someone to help them bid on it at the event.

Silver Creek Manor was huge. When Michael and Emily arrived, she didn't want to go in with Michael, so she made up an excuse to look for Abigail. Michael wasn't happy about it, but thinking of all the crap Emily had been through, he kept quiet and just reminded her not to wander off.

Before the auction started, Abigail pulled Emily aside and said, "Emily, did you see the prices of those items? I think we might be short on cash. Are you really gonna risk everything to bid on that 'Lucky'? Why not ask your husband for help?" Emily glanced at Michael in the distance. He had a cold, indifferent look, holding a wine glass, chatting with some guy.

Emily's eyes were cold. "Will he buy it for me? Have you seen Sophia left his side for a second? She's glued to him."

gritted her teeth and said, "But Emily, don't forget, you're the real Mrs. Smith. You should go and kick Sophia out. Remember how she locked you in the cold storage last time? Can you still stand her being next to Michael?" Emily shook her head and said, "It's not that I let her stand next
