The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 489

Chapter 489 Falling in Love

To be honest, Patrick didn't really know Emily at all.

Michael and Emily had been married for three years, but during that time, Patrick was often abroad. Even when he returned home, he mostly hung around tourist spots near Emerald City, enjoying himself. His knowledge of Emily was limited to the occasional snippets Michael shared.

Michael had his own misunderstandings about Emily, which only added to Patrick's skewed perception of her.

Arranged marriages were the kind he despised the most.

Michael had fallen into that trap, but Patrick was determined not to. So, he partied even harder, rarely going home.

But recently, family matters forced him to return.

Looking at Michael now, Patrick realized just how out of touch he was.

Michael's face grew darker, and he seemed indifferent to Patrick's words. There was even a hint of a cold smile on his lips, as if mocking Patrick's ignorance.

Patrick felt a chill run through him, realizing he might have been completely wrong about Emily.

"Wait, Michael, did you fall in love with her?"

For guys like them, falling in love was the ultimate taboo. They were expected to marry women from wealthy families for business alliances. Falling for an ordinary woman was a big no-no.

And drowning your sorrows in a bar over a woman? That was the biggest no-no of all. But seeing Michael like this, Patrick knew he was in deep.

As Patrick stood there, unsure of what to say, Michael took a long swig of his drink, his eyes distant and filled with a deep, complex emotion.

"You wouldn't understand. I owe Emily."

Owe her?
