The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 129 Spending a Night Together

Ava had everything set up.

Emily headed upstairs for a shower. Before she did, she asked Michael again why they weren't heading back to the Smith Mansion.

Michael blurted out, "It's too late to go back, it would disturb Grandpa's rest."

Emily bought it. But Michael wasn't so sure about his own excuse.

When they left the restaurant, he hadn't decided whether to go to the Smith Mansion or back to Emerald Lake Manor. But as they chatted on the way, he somehow ended up driving here.

Hearing the occasional sound of water from the bathroom, Michael felt a wave of restlessness. He realized he was getting more and more reluctant to leave Emily. He even kept looking for chances to be alone with her.

He couldn't help but think, how great it would be if the person in the video was Emily. Then he wouldn't have to go through all the trouble of finding out who was behind it.

The more he thought about it, the more chaotic his mind became. Michael found his thoughts unbelievable. Just a few months ago, he was pushing Emily to get a divorce quickly. Only then could he rightfully marry Sophia. But now, his thoughts had completely flipped.

The bathroom door opened. Emily came out with her hair wrapped up. Knowing Michael was outside, she wrapped herself tightly, even covering her clothes with a pale yellow plush blanket.

But Michael could still see her slender legs and her wet hair draped over her shoulders, mixed with the scent of her shampoo and body wash.

The whole bedroom was filled with a layer of hormonal scent. Michael swallowed, but all he heard was Emily saying to him, "I'm going to the guest room."
