The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 365 Mysterious Origins

At the same time, she couldn't help but lift her hand under the table and touch her

growing belly.

The child is the closest thing to me. 'As long as I protect them,' Emily thought, 'I'll have a lifetime of wealth.'

That evening, Emily finally made her way back home.

She was exhausted and had planned to go straight to her room to shower and sleep.

But to her surprise, the dining room light was still on. Emily changed into her slippers and walked in, only to find Isabella sitting at the table, drinking.

It looked like she was... drowning her sorrows?

Emily frowned and walked over to Isabella, pulling out the chair opposite her and sitting down.

Because of her pregnancy, Emily hadn't had a drink in months.

Now, the strong smell of alcohol was quite unpleasant.

"Mom, what's going on?"

Isabella looked up slightly, seeing Emily staring at her seriously.

The explanation she had prepared crumbled in an instant.

Isabella found it hard to speak. She didn't know how to tell Emily about her true origins.

Origins? It was almost laughable.

Isabella forced a smile and said dismissively, "It's nothing. I just couldn't sleep and thought a drink might help."

Was it really that simple? Emily didn't believe it.

Isabella had had sleepless nights before, but she never stayed up this late drinking in the dining room. And looking at her now, with her sad and droopy expression, something was definitely wrong.

At home, Emily was always a bit more willful and casual with Isabella.

Emily simply grabbed Isabella's wine glass and asked seriously, "Mom, just tell me. I'm your daughter. I can help you figure things out and stand by you. You have to trust me. How can I be at ease if you keep things from me?"
