The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 481

Chapter 481 How Small Emerald City Is

"Do you have a crush on someone?" Candice asked Archibald this question just as the first dish was served, catching him off guard.

Archibald felt a pang in his chest. How was he supposed to answer that?

As he hesitated, Candice's smile grew even wider. "I already know the answer. You do, and you really like her, don't you?"

Her eyes sparkled mischievously, making Archibald's heart race and his cheeks flush.

Before he could say anything, she chuckled and continued, "It's written all over your face, it's so obvious!"

Really?

Archibald wished he could find a mirror to see his own expression. Had his feelings for Emily grown that deep?

How could that be?

They had only known each other for a few months.

Besides, Celeste's words always echoed in his mind like a warning bell, reminding him of the reality of their situation.

With a sigh, Archibald couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.

Seeing this, Candice put down her spoon, wiped the mushroom soup from her lips, and asked again, "Why the sigh? Isn't it a good thing to have someone you like?"

Archibald gave a bitter smile and shook his head. "Liking someone is great, but you also have to consider reality. Ms. Gonzalez, you know what I mean, right?"

Reality?

Candice paused, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Kids from families like theirs couldn't afford to ignore reality.

Friendships had to be realistic, relationships had to be realistic, and marriages even more so.
