The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 552 Letting Go of Feelings

Some people were easy to understand when they spoke, while others just never seemed to click.

Take Michael, for example. Emily had texted him earlier, asking him not to pick her up and suggesting it would be easier for her to take a cab home later.

After all, Michael had been driving all over Emerald City to get to the hospital to pick her up these past few days. Emily felt bad about it and couldn't just send Michael away afterward.

So she let him stay at her place in Emerald Lake Manor.

But this couldn't go on forever. Emily knew she had to find the right moment to talk to Michael.

She needed to explain her concerns and thoughts clearly.

After all, she didn't want Michael to think she was too casual about things, and she certainly didn't want him to ignore the fact that they were already divorced.

But, Michael showed up again.

He came alone, driving a large SUV to make sure Emily could rest more comfortably. Emily appreciated how considerate he had become.

But she wasn't the same emotionally vulnerable Emily she used to be; it wasn't that easy to move her anymore.

"Is it cold in the car? Do you want me to turn up the heat?" Michael asked with concern, his voice full of warmth.

Emily shook her head, speaking stiffly. "No, it's already comfortable."

But Michael still turned the heat up to the highest setting, and the temperature inside the car gradually rose.

He turned to Emily, smiling. "I hope you feel more comfortable."

Emily fell silent for a long time.

Michael seemed to enjoy this, and Emily didn't outright reject him, which meant he could try to make up for everything he hadn't done right before.

More importantly, he still held onto a glimmer of hope, maybe, over time, the rift between them could heal.

Emily closed her eyes, but after thinking it over, she still felt uncomfortable. She decided to speak up, "I don't like this."
