The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 338 Home Invasion

Michael could hardly believe his ears.

Was this guy really picking a fight with him? How could he ask such a question?

Just as Michael was about to snap back, Daniel continued, his tone righteous. "Michael,

I'm not asking as one of Emily's suitors, but as a friend. I can't stand seeing her so

upset anymore. Do you know she fainted again today?"

Hearing this, Michael's annoyance turned to shock.

He looked at Daniel, his pupils narrowing. "Look at you, acting all concerned, but you're just deceiving Emily over and over again."

Daniel's voice was filled with anger and sarcasm.

He wasn't afraid of Michael getting mad and taking a swing at him. In fact, he welcomed it; it would give him a chance to vent his frustration on behalf of Emily.

"Her health... her health can't take this anymore. But you, your mom, the whole Smith family, and the Browns, you all seem like you want her dead!

"She can take care of herself now. She could have a better life. Why do you keep holding onto her, Michael? For the sake of the three years you were married, let her go. She loves you, but she can't afford to love you anymore."

Daniel's words hit Michael like a ton of bricks.

Each word landed heavily, making Michael feel ashamed and guilty. He clenched his fists and said to Daniel, "Even so, I need to hear it from her directly. Whether she can afford to love me or not is none of your business."

Daniel knew it wasn't his business.

But he was furious, and his anger had nowhere to go, so it turned into a burning glare aimed at Michael. Yet, Michael's determined and hopeful gaze seemed to reflect back at him.

There was nothing he could do; Michael and Emily were legally married.

Before they divorced, they were still husband and wife.

Daniel had to let Michael handle it. "I've said what I needed to say. How you deal with it is up to you two. I'm leaving."
