The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

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.
