The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 422 Bryan Steps In

Emily treated Alice with the same politeness she showed to Penelope's business partners.

In truth, she wasn't sure how she should feel about Alice.

Were they close sisters?

Emily was reluctant to admit it.

After all, Isabella had never lived a day with the Ward family, nor had she ever been treated kindly by them. Emily herself had experienced the same, and Isabella's death was caused by Alice's father.

How was she supposed to face the daughter of a murderer?

Being this polite was the most respect she could muster.

Seeing Emily's faint smile, Alice's own smile froze. She was at a loss and could only bite her lip awkwardly. Bryan noticed and quickly stepped in to speak to Emily.

"Hey, you seem to be doing well today. How's the baby?"

Emily looked at Bryan.

She had noticed Bryan's occasional glances at Archibald. She knew what Bryan wanted to ask, but she didn't feel the need to explain.

"He's doing fine," she replied.

"When's the due date? You should start getting ready soon. It's not easy handling everything on your own." Bryan continued, hands in his pockets, seemingly inquiring about the baby but actually looking for an opportunity to ask about Michael or the man suddenly appearing by her side.

"It's still a while away. Don't worry, I can take care of him. How about you two? Everything okay?" Emily turned the tables, taking control of the conversation.
