The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 443 Endless Self-Blame

Sophia's plan worked like a charm on Dean.

He immediately perked up, excused himself from the guests, and followed Archibald out the door.

"Hey, where you headed?" Dean called out to Archibald, who was about to get into his

car.

"JM Jewelry Company needs me for something. Gotta go," Archibald lied smoothly. But Dean, having grown up with him, saw right through it.

Dean scoffed, feeling a surge of disdain. He stepped forward and confronted Archibald again. "Is it really JM Jewelry Company that needs you? Or is it that woman, Emily?"

Archibald caught the hostility in Dean's tone. He paused, then frowned, equally annoyed. "Why do you care so much? Are you gonna restrict my freedom now?"

Both brothers had similar temperaments; neither could stand being threatened.

Seeing Archibald's anger, Dean knew his suspicion was correct. This made him even more unbalanced, recalling what Sophia had said earlier.

"Today is the first day of my studio's opening. Can't whatever you need to do wait until tomorrow? Archibald, you are my brother."

Archibald felt a warm rush of familial affection. After all, Dean was his only family in the world.

Archibald didn't have anything urgent with Emily, and knowing Dean's pettiness, he would hold a grudge forever if Archibald left today.

So, Archibald closed the car door, patted Dean on the shoulder, and smiled. "Alright, today is your big day. I'll stay."
