The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 353 Late Night Visit

"Still hanging on to that photo, huh?" Michael's question had a teasing edge to it.

Even though his face was expressionless, Bryan noticed the slight twitch of his eyebrow.

The photo on the table was of Michael and Bryan when they were kids.

Emily had found it the last time she visited, and Michael had noticed it too, looking quite surprised at the time.

Bryan had promised them he would throw it away.

Michael knew it was just talk.

And now, it seemed his guess was right.

"Forgot about it. I'll toss it now."

But Bryan wasn't one to back down easily. He mustered up the courage, picked up the photo, and responded awkwardly. Just as he was about to turn away, Michael stopped him.

"No need. I think I look better in this photo. Keep it. Let Alice see it. Maybe it'll make her wonder why she chose you over me."

Michael's words were always sharp enough to sting.

Bryan rolled his eyes in exasperation and tossed the photo back on the table. He looked at Michael, hands in his pockets.

"You didn't come all this way just to talk about this, did you?"

At those words, Michael's face darkened for a moment.
