The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 281 The Dissipation of Public Opinion

"Michael, what are you doing! Let go of me!" Emily said.

At that moment, Emily could clearly feel Michael's strong embrace and his warm breath on her frail back.

"Emily... how much do you really hate me?" Fueled by alcohol, Michael voiced his true feelings.

But Emily was momentarily stunned, not knowing how to respond. Despite all the grievances she had endured with the Smith family, her love for Michael had remained unchanged over the years. She didn't know why; she had even thought about hating Michael.

But how could she easily hate him?

She felt sorry for Michael and even more for his sacrifices for the Smith family.

Emily didn't know how she could help Michael, so she could only become stronger and more determined to stand by his side. As long as he needed her, she would give all she had.

Emily despised herself for this, but she had no choice.

So, rather than hating Michael, she hated herself more.

"I... don't." Emily said.

"You definitely do." Michael's grip tightened, making it hard for Emily to breathe. Suddenly, Michael's warm breath was even closer, directly on Emily's neck.

Emily felt ticklish, but at the same time, tears were already welling up in her eyes. Emily loved Michael and couldn't refuse his intimate gestures. She even somewhat enjoyed this intimate moment.

But the truth was, she had to reject Michael. They couldn't be together anymore, not just because of her long-hidden pregnancy, but also because she knew that gratitude wasn't love, and pity wasn't love.
