The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 468 Knowing When to Stop

Who would've thought the world was so small?

Michael watched as Archibald and Dean treated Celeste with such reverence, calling her "Aunt" at every turn. He realized his status had inexplicably risen.

After all, Celeste had always shown him great respect.

Celeste, ignoring everything else, noticed Emily was pregnant and quickly helped her sit down before turning her attention back to Michael. "Michael, what brings you here today?"

For Michael, the question was easy to answer.

The awkward part was those who had inappropriate intentions toward Emily.

"I'm here to escort my ex-wife." With that, Michael glanced meaningfully at Emily.

Celeste was momentarily taken aback but quickly understood.

After all, she had seen and heard it all over the years.

Michael continued, "She's pregnant, so it's hard for her to move around. I was worried, so I came along to check on her.

"At first, Emily thought it might be inconvenient to bring me along to meet you. I thought so too, but she carried our child, and I was concerned about her. Now that I've seen you, I realize there's no need to worry.

"Besides, I've met Archibald before, so we know each other. And with our connection, we're practically friend. What's inconvenient about that?"

"Exactly, exactly!" Celeste and Michael agreed wholeheartedly.

Emily was simply amazed at how coincidental everything was.
