The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 171 Mediating Conflicts

Emily piped up, "I'm starving, let's grab a bite together. Bryan, got any food at your place?"

Of course, Emily knew Bryan's fridge was empty.

She asked on purpose so they could all cook a meal together.

That way, Michael and Bryan might finally clear the air and make up.

Bryan shrugged, "Not a thing."

Just as Emily expected.

"I'm not eating," Michael snapped, stubborn as ever.

Emily shot him a fierce look, and he quickly backed down, his eyes drifting to a photo of him and Bryan on their twelfth birthday. They'd celebrated every birthday together as kids.

But as time went on and grudges built up, Michael had let those memories fade. He didn't expect Bryan to have kept them so well.

Emily said, "If there's nothing, I'll order something to cook. You two chill for a bit and then come help. And no fighting."

With that, Emily headed to the kitchen, leaving Michael and Bryan on the couch.

They hadn't eaten much at the jewelry exhibition, and all three were pretty hungry.

For some reason, neither of them wanted to leave, and the tension hung in the air, but it wasn't awkward.

"Why'd you keep all these photos?" Michael finally broke the silence.
