The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 425 Schemes Arise Again

They say men understand men best.

But right now, Archibald couldn't figure out what Michael was thinking.

After spending some time with Emily, whether from her own words or the rumors swirling around Emerald City, Archibald had a pretty good idea of the real reason behind her divorce from Michael.

But now, standing before him was a man who seemed deeply affectionate. Could this really be the same guy who had cheated, threatened to abandon his wife and kid, and brought a mistress into their home?

The disguise was flawless.

Gradually, a hint of contemptuous mockery appeared on Archibald's face. "Taking advantage? It suits you better. Mr. Smith, it's our first meeting, and I don't want things to get too tense. As Emily's friend, I have the right to take her away from this place of heartbreak. After all, you heard the awful things your sister just said to us.

"But as Emily's ex-husband, you... you can probably guess what it would be like for Emily to see you now, right? Besides being more upset, what else would she feel?

"If you're thinking of taking advantage of this moment to comfort her, it's really not a good choice. Why not wait for another day when everyone has calmed down? Maybe then she'll be willing to listen to what the father of her child has to say."

After saying this, Archibald saw Michael freeze in place, his expression changing. He took a deep breath, and as he turned to leave, Archibald added. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Archibald Lancaster. I own a design company and currently have a partnership with JM Jewelry. I'm friends with Emily, but from now on, I'm officially pursuing her."

As he finished speaking, Archibald met Michael's cold gaze but remained indifferent, not responding further. He then turned and got into his car.

Michael stood there, stunned, watching the car speed away.

The night was quiet.

Archibald knew Emily was feeling down, so he opened the window a bit. Seeing her silently staring out, he didn't know what to say, so he just quietly kept her company. Maybe it was the long journey, or maybe she was used to these sudden blows.

Emily realized she had developed a resilient temperament.
