The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 70 Heavenly Delight Club

Andrew didn't waste any time and snagged the earliest flight back.

Emily was still fuming after her office meltdown. That gift from Isabella? No way was she letting Sophia have it. She was pissed at Michael too. He'd promised it to her and then flaked. Her trust in him was shattered, and she was done with him. No more expectations or demands from Michael. Emily stared at the invitation in her hand. She knew going to the Heavenly Delight Club meant Sophia might try to humiliate her, but Isabella's "Lucky" was still with Sophia. No way was she letting that slide.

She wasn't about to ask Michael for help again. She'd already embarrassed herself once and wasn't about to do it again.

The invite said 7 p.m. tomorrow night, VIP room at the Heavenly Delight Club. Sophia was definitely setting her up, but she had no choice. She touched her belly, tears in her eyes. "Baby, am I too useless? Can I get 'Lucky' back tomorrow?" The world felt dark. Michael giving her precious "Lucky" to Sophia was a slap in the face, making her feel sick.

She was done with Michael. His sweet talk always made her cave, but now she knew better. Bedtime promises meant nothing. Her soft heart had only led to self-deception and unrequited feelings. Michael's true love was never in the cards. Drained, Emily stumbled back to Emerald Lake Manor, only to find no one but Ava. The house felt cold and hollow, and she was scared.

Ava saw her mood and rushed over. "Mrs. Smith, why didn't you answer the phone? Mr. Smith called, asking if you were home. He wants you to call him back." Emily couldn't hear Ava anymore. Her ears buzzed, her head spun, and she felt faint. Ava quickly supported her. "Mrs. Smith, what's wrong? I'll call the doctor." Emily grabbed Ava. "It's okay, Ava. I'll go rest in my room."

She slowly made her way to her room, clinging to the stairs. She buried herself in bed, seeking comfort under the blanket.
