The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 235 Unexpected Incident

Emily asked, "I'm calling to ask about the address of the new place."

The initial response was a bit awkward.

But Emily had no idea that things were about to get even more awkward.

When she called Michael, he was already at Abigail's door. Seeing him in casual clothes and sneakers, Emily was so shocked she just stood there, frozen.

"What's the matter, Emily? Surprised? Didn't see that coming, huh?" Abigail teased while Emily was in the kitchen pouring water for Michael. "Now you can't say I'm just making stuff up. Just wait, Mr. Smith is just getting started!" Abigail's words were a bit cryptic, but Emily got the gist.

Still, Emily couldn't believe that Michael would like her. She brushed off those silly thoughts and focused on pouring water for Michael, then thanked him. "Thanks. Once things settle down, Abigail and I will treat you to dinner." Even though she was thanking him, Emily's tone was distant and polite.

This wasn't how a married couple should talk.

Michael hesitated, unsure how to respond. Luckily, Abigail jumped in to lighten the mood. "Mr. Smith, isn't the company busy today? Wait, isn't today Monday? Don't you have work? If people find out the boss came to help me move, they'll go nuts!"

After spending some time together recently, Abigail, who was pretty clear about her likes and dislikes, had warmed up to Michael, so their conversations flowed smoothly.

Abigail wasn't as cold to Michael as she used to be.

Michael smiled, "The CEO just needs to oversee things. I'm here today to help you move. I found this place for you, so I gotta see it through."
