Chapter 266 A Chance Encounter at the Mall

When they pulled up to Fashion Treasury, Emily hopped out of the car and caught a glimpse of herself in the window. She looked pale, but Isabella seemed to be in great spirits. Emily had to push down her discomfort and force a smile.

That's when Michael saw a different side of Emily.

Turns out, no matter how old or mature you are, everyone looks like a kid in front of their mom. With a mother's love, we all end up feeling pretty vulnerable.

Michael's mind drifted back to his own childhood, where Scarlett barely took care of him.

The love he got was mostly from his grandpa, his dad, and sometimes even the servants.

Maternal love? That was something he never really knew.

Michael couldn't figure out why Scarlett had him if she didn't even like him.

As he got older, he realized some people just aren't cut out to be moms. Not every mom cares for their kids. So, he just pretended he didn't have a mom.

"Michael?" Emily's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. He looked up to see her puzzled face. "What's up?" he asked, a bit dazed.

Emily frowned. "My mom's trying on clothes and told us to wait here. You okay?" Michael shook his head. "Yeah, I'm fine."

He better be fine; she didn't have time to babysit him.

Emily took a deep breath and caught a whiff of a refreshing lemon scent. Lemon water?

That's exactly what she needed right now.

The baby in her belly was getting bigger every day. Even though she could wear loose coats to hide it in this weather, she couldn't suppress her physiological reactions, just like now.
