The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 63 One More Request

Sophia knew Emily was doing it on purpose, but she couldn't do anything about it. She just watched as Emily walked away with Michael.

Once they were out of Sophia's sight, Emily let go of Michael right away. Michael felt a bit lost with the sudden emptiness in his arms.

Emily led him to an open-air balcony at the venue. The evening breeze was chilly, and she regretted picking this spot. She rubbed her arms to warm up.

Michael looked at Emily, her white dress making her look even more graceful and charming. He always knew Emily was beautiful; among all the women he had met, Emily had the best temperament. He quickly took off his suit jacket and draped it over Emily's shoulders.

Emily wanted to refuse, but it was really cold, so she accepted it.

She looked at Michael and asked, "Does what you said yesterday still count?"

Michael, looking a bit lazy, seemed unsure of what she was referring to. He thought for a moment and asked, "Which words are you talking about?"

Emily said, "You said that tonight, anything I want, you'll buy it for me, right?"

Michael thought Emily had finally softened towards him. He immediately smiled and said, "Yeah, it counts. Anything you want tonight, I can buy it for you."

Michael knew that he owed Emily big time for not standing up for her when they both suspected that Sophia was behind the cold storage incident. So, he was willing to fulfill any request she made.
