The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 180 Michael's Suspicion

"Yeah, we loved once, and love always comes with its share of pain and heartache. It's totally normal," Penelope said, her eyes shimmering with tears. "But I don't regret it. I believe there's more to life than just love. It's not about men; I can live a better life. Sure, thinking about Bryan is fine, but thinking about myself is a must."

Penelope wiped her tears and turned to Emily. "Emily, you should think this way too. All women should. But hey, I still wish you and Michael all the happiness in the world."

Emily smiled. Seeing how Penelope could be so open-minded, she realized there was no need to console her.

But the blessing Penelope mentioned... Could she and Michael really be happy forever?

Later, Emily and Michael finally said goodbye to the Watson Mansion and headed back to Emerald Lake Manor.

Emily asked, "What did you talk about with Bryan?"

She could tell from Michael's expression that he and Bryan must have had a good conversation; otherwise, Michael would be fuming right now.

Michael replied, "I just told him to take good care of the Watson family business. He's not in a great state right now, but it's understandable. Anyone would be after going through something like this."

After saying that, Michael seemed to remember something and said to Emily, "You've had a rough couple of days. There's another banquet tomorrow. After that, you can rest at home for a few days."

Michael originally planned to start investigating Veda's kidnapping. If this matter was really related to Emily, and she worked at Smith Corporation, wouldn't that alert her?

But from Emily's perspective, she rarely saw Michael being so considerate. She couldn't help but wonder if Richard and Penelope's situation had given him some insight.

Or maybe seeing Bryan's sadness made Michael realize the impact of divorce? But their baby was still in her belly, and Michael didn't know. What was there to be afraid of? Emily couldn't figure it out, nor could she understand Michael.
