CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Alyssa’s coldness made Aurora feel a little awkward.

She withdrew her hand in embarrassment and turned to look at Henry.

Henry smiled at her gently and had a good temper. He looked like a man of the right kidney.

Aurora’s eyes became more determined. “Alyssa, let’s go out and talk about something.”

Alyssa turned around and walked out.

After leaving the Public Security Bureau, Henry strode to Alyssa’s side and wanted to talk to her.

However, before he could get close to Alyssa, he was stopped by a bodyguard.

Henry’s expression changed slightly and then returned to normal. He said jokingly, “I just want to talk to

you. These bodyguards are so vigilant. Does Emmett think of you as a criminal?”

His tone sounded like he was joking with a close friend.

However, Alyssa knew that her relationship with him was not that good, so she naturally did not think

that he was joking.

He said it on purpose. He wanted her relationship with Emmett to become worse?

She did not know what was wrong with Henry. He insisted on holding her back.

“Mr. Henry, your language must be terrible when you were studying. Otherwise, how could you not

know what bodyguards do? Do you want me to explain to you what kind of job bodyguards are?”

Alyssa looked at Henry with a mocking expression.

Henry felt that Alyssa looked at him like she was looking at a clown.

He did not have any face, but he still stubbornly wanted to win for himself. “Of course I know what

bodyguards do. However, they want to stop me from getting closer to you. Isn’t that too much?”

Alyssa’s tone became undisciplined. “They are not too much. After all, we are not very familiar with

each other.”

Aurora who was at the side suddenly said, “Alyssa, don’t talk to Henry like this. I know that there is a

misunderstanding between you and him. Just because he has been taking care of me during this

period of time, can you shake hands and make peace with him?”

Taking care of me?

Did he do that out of sincerity?

Alyssa did not know how Henry met Aurora and why he took good care of her.

But what she knew was that when people had nothing to do, they would please others. They were

either rapists or thieves.

She did not think that Henry took care of Aurora because he had a relationship with Skylar before.

“There is no misunderstanding between us. What do you mean we should get along?” Alyssa

pretended to be puzzled and looked at Aurora, “Skylar is your daughter. She had an engagement with

Mr. Henry before. It is normal for someone as kind as Mr. Henry to take you in and take care of you

when he sees you wandering outside.”

Aurora was speaking for Henry. It seemed that Henry had taken good care of her and coaxed her these

few days.

“Alyssa…”

“I still have things to do.” Alyssa pretended to look at the time, “I believe such a kind person like Mr.

Henry would not mind sending his ex-fiancée’s mother home, right?”

Henry had taken Aurora in because he wanted to get close to Alyssa.

He knew a little about the Moore family’s situation and naturally knew that Alyssa was very good to her

mother.

But now it seemed like that was not the case.

Alyssa’s words had come to this point. Of course, he could only agree. “Why would I mind? Of course I

would be happy.”

“Then I’ll go first.”

Alyssa did not look at Aurora and turned around to get into the car.

Aurora stood on the spot with a panicked expression and helplessly watched Alyssa’s car go far away.

Her heart was at a loss.

Alyssa was too cold to her.

The moment Alyssa left, Henry’s expression darkened. “Mrs. Moore, I will send you back.”

Aurora saw that Henry’s expression was not good and said, “Don’t mind. Alyssa might be in a bad

mood because of her recent pregnancy. So…”

Her words provoked Henry. He fiercely grabbed Aurora’s arm and said in a gloomy tone, “What did you

just say? Say it again!”

Aurora was shocked by Henry’s appearance. “Henry, what’s wrong?”

These few days, Henry had been very gentle to her. He even asked people to take her shopping.

His sudden change in attitude frightened Aurora.

Henry immediately changed back to his gentle appearance and asked softly, “You said she was

pregnant?”

“Yes.”

Aurora saw that he had returned to normal and then let out a sigh of relief.

She must have seen wrongly just now.

“I know. I’ll send you back now.” Henry lowered his eyes. His voice was still very soft, but there was a

strange feeling in it.

…

To Alyssa, this incident was just a small interlude. She would forget it after that.

As it was approaching the end of the year, Alyssa guessed that this year’s New Year, Emmett might

bring her back to the old residence.

After all, this was the first New Year’s Eve after Emmett took over the Lawrence Group. He had to

return to the old residence regardless of emotions or reason.

Even if Emmett had the authority to do whatever he wanted, he could go if he wanted to. If he didn’t

want to go, he wouldn’t go.

But in the end, this debt might still have to be blamed on her.

Two days before the Lawrence Group’s holiday, Alyssa had already started preparing to bring back the

things she wanted to bring back to the old residence.

The old residence did not lack anything, but in the end, it was still better to use things that she was

used to.

At night, Emmett came back a little late.

Alyssa had finished washing up and was about to go to bed after writing a script.

Emmett walked in with his suit jacket in his arms. His hair was a little messy and he looked very tired.

“I’m back.”

Alyssa looked up at him.

It was cold. Even if the heater was on, it was still cold. Alyssa was wearing her fluffy pajamas, which

made her look very warm.

During the period after she was pregnant, she stayed at home. The maids took care of her

meticulously. Her rest was very regular and her complexion was much better than before. She sat

under the light as if she was glowing.

She tucked herself in the corner of the sofa and stretched her legs. The computer was placed on her

lap. Her hair was loose and her black hair and snow white skin were scattered. Her cat-like eyes were

focused on him, and there was a strange attraction in them.

Emmett threw away the jacket in his hand casually and walked up to her. He bent over and threw the

computer on her leg to the side. He sat down next to her and hugged her tightly.

Alyssa felt her heart tremble when he threw away her computer. “Be gentle….”

Emmett seemed to be dissatisfied with her caring about the computer at a time like this. He lowered his

head and kissed her for a long time.

When they separated, Emmett said in a low voice, “Aunt is back.”
