The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 144 The Watson Family Jewelry

Despite the awkward misunderstanding, Sophia shamelessly went along with it, "Hey, Mrs. Watson, I'm Sophia, Michael's..."

Michael whipped his head around at the sound of her voice. Sophia was trailing behind him, looking all shy and nodding eagerly at Mabel.

What the hell? How did he end up pulling the wrong person?

Sure enough, Michael glanced over at Emily. She was standing there, looking all distressed, her eyes getting redder the longer they locked eyes. She quickly turned her head away. "Michael, don't you think you're being a bit much?" Bryan spoke up for the first time, breaking the silence between them.

This was the first thing they'd said to each other since they met again after three long years.

Earlier that morning at the Watson Mansion, Mabel had given Bryan a pep talk. She told him that when Michael showed up, they needed to get along and let go of past grudges. Holding onto them wouldn't do anyone any good. Bryan had taken her words to heart. But seeing Michael now, both of them were still too young and proud to be the first to break the ice.

And now, Bryan was standing up for Emily. Michael felt a pang of jealousy hearing this.

If anyone else had said it, Michael might've reacted differently. But it was Bryan, his best friend, sticking up for Emily.

Meanwhile, Jessica noticed the whole scene. Girls always had each other's backs. Before Michael could even react, she walked over to Emily, said a few comforting words, and led her to Mabel.

In front of everyone, Jessica smoothed things over for Emily. "Michael, seriously? I only made you drink three glasses of wine, and you're already drunk? You can't even recognize your own wife?"
