The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 509 Back to Everglade City

Emily was pretty happy with the house on Maple Street.

The main reason she was so satisfied was the house's great layout, prime location, easy access to transportation, and surprisingly low price.

Plus, the landlord was a smooth talker with top-notch sales skills, making Emily feel like she had scored a great deal by snapping up the house quickly.

As the car sped away from Maple Street, Abigail felt uneasy. She mumbled softly, "Emily, is that house really that good? You're in such a hurry to leave me."

Abigail's insecurities flared up again, and Emily affectionately patted her head with a smile.

"Abigail, I told you I'd visit often. Don't worry, I wouldn't be foolish enough to cut ties with you. When Harry is born, you'll have to be by my side all the time!"

Hearing this, Abigail straightened up and volunteered, "Of course, I'm Harry's godmother. I'll definitely be there."

Abigail's words warmed Emily's heart. She knew Abigail's concern was genuine, but at the same time, Emily felt a strange sense of anxiety.

Should Michael be there for the birth?

As the father, he should be present.

But Emily had other concerns. Michael was a prominent figure in Emerald City, and his presence would attract media attention from the moment Harry was born, compromising their privacy.

Emily was torn, wanting to protect her child's privacy while not depriving Michael of his rights as a father.

This anxiety lingered like a faint smoke, sometimes fading, sometimes intensifying. She tried to calm herself with deep breaths, but her mind remained unsettled.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Sophia was also looking for a place to stay. She and Dean had headed west, and as they parted ways, they found themselves not far from Everglade City.

Everglade City wasn't as bustling as Emerald City, but it was peaceful and comfortable.

Sophia walked down the street here, and no one recognized her as Hayden's daughter or someone's mistress.

This anonymity felt good, and Sophia found herself wanting to live here incognito.
