The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 487 Awkward Misunderstanding

The real estate agent accompanying them had already picked up on some clues and showered Archibald with enthusiastic praise.

"Ma'am, your husband is so considerate! He consults you on everything!"

Emily felt a bit awkward and quickly clarified. "Sorry, he's not my husband, just a friend."

The real estate agent was now puzzled.

A friend? A friend accompanying a pregnant woman to look at houses?

Where was her husband?

Emily didn't offer further explanation, just smiled lightly and continued focusing on the house options.

Archibald, noticing the agent's misunderstanding, quickly added. "She just got divorced and needs to move out and find a new place. She's living alone, so we hope you can help find a really good house for her."

The real estate agent nodded in understanding.

Meanwhile, Archibald walked over to Emily, noticing her lack of reaction. It seemed she had become numb to her divorce and others' misunderstandings, which made him feel a pang of sympathy.

"Emily, I think you're suppressing yourself too much. Are you sure living alone is okay? Why don't you stay with Abigail?"

Archibald didn't realize he was overstepping.

Fortunately, Emily didn't mind. She saw Archibald as a stepping stone, a future boss, so maintaining good communication was beneficial for her future.

"It's nothing, I've just been feeling down lately. Living alone is fine. Honestly, even before I divorced Michael, living in our house felt like living alone." Emily felt a wave of sadness, her eyes reddening.

Archibald's heart tightened, about to offer comfort, but Emily spoke again. "Not staying with Abigail this time is because I don't want to trouble her. You've seen it, people keep causing trouble.

"Last time, Sophia's incident burned down Abigail's rented house. It's absurd! How could I not feel guilty?"

Sophia again.
