The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 416

Chapter 416 The Child's Surname

"Hello?" Emily's voice was calm.

"It's me." Michael's voice came through, just as she expected.

"Yeah, I know it's you." Emily sighed deeply, watching as Abigail tactfully left the room.

She walked to the window, looking at the swirling dark clouds in the sky. It looked like it was about to rain, just like her current mood-she couldn't quite tell if it was good or bad.

"I called just to... just to ask how you've been lately." Michael's voice was tentative.

There was no response from the other end for a while. He hesitated, then quickly changed his question. "I mean, I wanted to ask when your due date is."

Emily remained silent. It wasn't that she lacked patience or didn't want to answer.

She just didn't know how to respond.

Logically, she should stick to her original decision to cut ties completely.

But now that Michael was hurt, should she still be so heartless?

Could she really be that cruel?

Emily kept asking herself these questions. Just then, Michael spoke again, cautiously. "I just want to be there when the baby is born."

Michael's voice grew weaker, eventually fading away.

Hearing this, Emily felt a strange discomfort gnawing at her, like ants biting at her heart.

How could the president of Smith Corporation be so humble to her?

Yet, she found it oddly endearing... No! Absolutely not!

Emily silently warned herself that this path would lead nowhere good for her.
