The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 484 Jealousy

"Stop being so full of yourself, Michael. How can you be so shameless?"

Emily's aggression was off the charts this morning, even more intense than last night. Honestly, Michael didn't expect Emily to react this way.

But it was clear she cared about him. Why else would she have prepared a hot towel and warm water for him? And there was something simmering in the kitchen... Did she really think he couldn't smell it?

Seeing Michael glance meaningfully toward the kitchen, Emily became even more flustered.

She took a deep breath and quickly explained, "Don't flatter yourself. That's for Abigail."

Michael raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk tugging at his lips. "Really? Abigail drank too much too?"

Emily was momentarily stunned, about to stammer out an explanation, but Michael's expression suddenly turned serious.

He lay back down on the couch, seemingly savoring the warmth, unwilling to leave even for a moment.

"Back at the Smith Mansion, every time I drank too much, you'd make me hangover soup. If Lexine or the others made it, you wouldn't trust it, right?" Michael paused for several seconds, looking at Emily.

His gaze grew deeper. "I've gotten used to this smell. I know it means you care about me. You don't need to lie."

The atmosphere grew tense again.

Emily really hated this feeling.

Every time she resolved to separate from Michael, he would say something touching, making her heart soften instantly.

With no other choice, Emily forced herself to suppress the fluttering in her heart, took a deep breath, and spoke coldly.

"Michael, I've said everything I needed to say. If you won't listen, there's nothing I can do. Instead of going crazy here with me, you should focus on your company, on your own life. Don't let your scandals become the talk of the town, making everyone aware of your constant drama."

Growing more indignant, Emily stood up.

She walked away, holding her belly, even turning her back to Michael, unwilling to look at him.

Perhaps sensing Emily's genuine resolve, Michael was momentarily stunned before forcing himself to stand.

Honestly, he hadn't intended to pass out at her doorstep last night.
