The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 80 Returning Late at Night

Sophia rolled out of bed to check what was going on, but as soon as she cracked the door open, she caught a glimpse of Michael's back as he left. Furious, she hurled the vase from the nearby cabinet. By the time Michael got downstairs and into his car, he realized he hadn't said a word to Sophia. She was probably going to cry again.

Michael thought about calling Sophia to explain, but he picked up the phone and then put it down, in no mood to get an earful of her begging. He was torn about whether to go back or not, feeling all kinds of conflicted.

He also wondered if Emily was okay after her fall at the hospital. With all these mixed feelings, he decided to shoot Sophia a text instead.

Michael: [Something came up at work, had to leave early. Get some rest.]

When Sophia saw the text, she wanted to throw her phone too. She couldn't believe her carefully planned car accident had been brushed off so easily. Was it not serious enough? Or had Michael already lost all feelings for her? No, she couldn't accept that.

Sophia kept telling herself that Michael loved her; otherwise, he wouldn't come running every time she called.

Emily was too restless to sleep. She kept replaying the call Sophia made to Michael in her head. The more she thought about it, the more agitated she got. She placed her hand on her belly. Only the baby inside her could calm her down.

In the darkness, Emily's agitated expression softened into a gentle smile. "Baby, Daddy doesn't like me. He likes another woman, but I'll let him go. When the time comes, will you leave with me? I'll always love you."

Today, Daniel had secretly arranged an ultrasound for her. The baby was very healthy. She was really happy, and thinking about it eased the frustration she felt about Michael leaving that night.

Emily touched her belly, feeling the warmth under her hand. Soon, the anger Michael had stirred up disappeared, and she finally fell asleep.
