The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 394 Showing Up at His Place

The side of Daniel's face where Veda had slapped him started to sting.

Daniel pressed his tongue against his cheek, but his expression stayed the same. He glanced over at Veda and saw tears welling up in her eyes.

She looked like she wasn't going to back down, or maybe she was just being stubborn, and she raised her hand to slap him again.

This time, Daniel wasn't just going to stand there and take it.

He grabbed Veda's hand and said, "Haven't you had enough?"

Tears streamed down Veda's face as she glared at him, her voice filled with anger. "How could it ever be enough?

"Daniel, you lied to me. You and Emily have been deceiving me all along... If you have a kid with her, why did you promise me you'd take things slow and think it over? Do you think Michael and I are idiots?"

Hearing this, Daniel realized his suspicions were correct. It was all because of that misunderstanding.

But that was just Sophia's one-sided story.

He and Emily... how could that be?

Taking a deep breath, Daniel asked Veda, "Veda, when will you stop being so childish?"

Veda's anger flared up again, and just as she was about to retort, Daniel grabbed her arm and shoved her into the passenger seat of his car. He then got into the driver's seat.

"Daniel! What are you doing?" Veda panted. Daniel ignored her, buckled her seatbelt, and started the car, speeding out of the parking garage.

Veda didn't dare act out while Daniel was driving, but she wasn't planning to talk to him or forgive him either. After all, he had done such despicable things. Why should she be nice to him?

She kept thinking this way the entire drive.

But she didn't expect Daniel to take her to Emerald Lake Manor.
