The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 432 Uninvited Guest

Hearing this, Emily was stunned. Her smile froze, and she turned to look at Archibald. "What did you do wrong?"

Archibald was also taken aback, not because of Emily's question, but because of the smile on her face. It was a smile he hadn't seen in a long time. It was like a spring breeze melting the winter snow, deeply moving him.

"Archibald, what's wrong?"

Archibald was lost in thought, and it was Emily who snapped him out of it.

He forced a stiff smile, one that looked awkward and rushed.

No one knew that at that moment, Archibald's heart was in turmoil.

He had to admit that if he was just a little interested in Emily before, now he was completely captivated by the world with her in it.

"I'm fine... Emily, you..."

At the same time, what Archibald didn't expect was that Emily didn't seem to care much about Leo's continuous provocations. She wasn't as upset as she had been when Veda verbally attacked her at the JM Jewelry Company exhibition.

Archibald wanted to ask Emily why, but he couldn't bring himself to bring up the earlier incident.

Fortunately, Emily noticed something. She knew Archibald's current mood all too well, so she smiled and responded, "It's nothing. Mr. Ward's words are things I've heard before. There have been plenty of people attacking me, one more doesn't make a difference.

"At least he showed his true colors in front of the media out of concern for his son. I guess.... I didn't misjudge him back then. I didn't fall for their family's tricks. Otherwise, I would have just jumped out of the frying pan into the fire."

Hearing Emily joke about herself like this, Archibald felt even more heartache for her. But given his current status, all he could do was silently protect her.

"But what about you, Archibald? Why are you here today?"

"Today... I'm sorry, Emily, can you wait for me a moment? I need to go find a friend!"

Archibald, busy playing the hero and standing up for justice, had completely forgotten about the meal he had planned with a friend. It only just came back to him now.

For the next few days, just as Emily had expected, her name and Archibald's were side by side on the front pages of Emerald City's social news.
