The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 463 Absurd Drama

On the way to the studio, Dean was visibly tense. To make matters worse, Sophia kept calling him. There was no way he could answer, so he just hung up every time.

Celeste, of course, noticed something was off.

She raised an eyebrow and said to Dean in the passenger seat, "Why don't you just answer it? Is it one of your little girlfriends?"

Celeste's tone was teasing, but it was clear she was mocking him.

Dean could tell and it made him even more frustrated. He turned around to face Celeste in the back seat. "That's ridiculous! It's just a work call. How does that make it a girlfriend? Do you think so little of me?"

Dean was furious, which to Celeste, was a clear sign he was embarrassed and angry.

Celeste didn't say anything, but Archibald stepped in calmly. "Alright, Aunt Celeste was just joking. Why are you getting so worked up?"

The car was speeding down the highway, and Dean felt trapped. If he could, he would have jumped out of the car to avoid the humiliation.

Frustrated, Dean sat in the passenger seat, fuming silently. His heavy breathing was audible even to the driver, who wisely kept quiet given Dean's status.

In his anger, Dean completely forgot about Sophia's calls and didn't think to send her a message explaining the situation.

Sophia, on the other hand, was getting increasingly worried. Her mind raced with different bad scenarios, most involving Emily and Michael.

After Michael's outburst at the Emerald City police station, Sophia had been on edge for days, unable to sleep.
