The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 128

Chapter 128 Returning to Emerald Lake Manor

Emily had to admit, it had been ages since she'd been alone with Michael like this. They drove to dinner together, then headed back home. The whole thing was surprisingly chill. She never thought she'd see the day. But Michael's phone kept buzzing non-stop.

"Is there some emergency at work?" Emily asked, holding the box of hawthorn berries.

"No," Michael replied, short and sweet.

If it wasn't work, then it had to be Sophia.

Michael had been pretty cold towards Sophia lately. Today, at the Brown Mansion, Michael had even pushed Sophia, seemingly to protect Emily.

Thinking about it, Emily wanted to slap herself. She was getting all emotional again.

It made sense, though. Michael was a businessman, and he had to look out for his own interests.

Lately, there was a lot of gossip, and Sophia had messed with his business, so of course, they weren't hanging out much.

But they were probably still thinking about each other.

"After all that porridge, are you still hungry?" Michael suddenly asked.

"What? No, I just want to eat," Emily replied.

Emily thought she needed something to settle her stomach. Sitting in the car for so long, the baby in her belly was getting restless.

Without the hawthorn berries, she might throw up in Michael's Maybach any second.
