The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 462 Aunt Arrives

Archibald asked, puzzled, "Why are you suddenly interested in her?"

Archibald had been working from home for ages and finally got the chance to meet Dean face-to-face. But to his surprise, Dean barely exchanged a few words before asking about Emily.

Naturally, Archibald was cautious. After all, Dean was still tangled up with Sophia, despite claiming he had ended things with her, only to later testify on her behalf. Because of this, Archibald felt awkward bringing it up in front of Emily.

So, instead of directly telling Dean about Emily, Archibald deflected with a question of his own.

Dean hadn't expected Archibald to be so guarded. But since he had important matters to discuss, he couldn't afford to show any dissatisfaction. He raised an eyebrow slightly and then launched into his prepared speech, appealing to Archibald's reason and emotions.

At the end, he added deliberately, "Archibald, I genuinely admire Emily's design work. The past is my fault, but it's behind us now. Please ask her not to hold it against me. After all, we need to keep things amicable for business, right?"

It sounded reasonable. Archibald, being a businessman, always prioritized making money. But over the years, he had been the one managing the household, taking care of Dean, and working tirelessly, to the point of feeling numb.

So, Archibald sincerely hoped Dean would mature quickly and help share the burden.

Dean, keenly observing Archibald's every move, noticed his hesitation and knew there was hope. Seizing the moment, Dean continued, "Archibald, you don't need to worry about Sophia! I know what I'm doing! You know me, right? I'm just messing around with her; there's no real feelings involved.

"I really don't want to lose this opportunity to collaborate with Emily over someone insignificant!"
