CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Chapter 294

Emmett's kiss went down the comer of her lips. When he reached her neck. Alyssa reached out and

stopped him. "Dinner."

"I can eat something else first." Emmett's voice was hoarse and dark. As he spoke, he lowered his

head and kissed her hand.

He kissed her hand again and again. He was patient and affectionate, as if he would not stop until she

moved her hands away.

Alyssa's face was hot. but she did not allow Emmett to be presumptuous.

She reached out and pushed Emmett's head away. "You either eat dinner or go your home and eat

yourself."

Emmett's throat moved with difficulty. He buried liis head in her shoulder and seriously discussed with

her. "What if I eat just a little?"

Alyssa did not know whether to laugh or ciy. How come he discussed such a tiling with her like this?

The final result was, of course, Alyssa did not agree.

The two of them tidied up briefly and then sat in front of the dining table to eat.

This house was a single apartment with one bedroom and one living room. The dining room was

connected to the living room.

The dining table was very small.

Alyssa did not specially prepare dishes for Emmett. She just followed her usual eating habits and made

two simple home-cooked dishes.

Her appetite was not very good, so she did not eat much. Instead. Emmett ate a lot.

Emmett ate so much and so quickly, but it was not the kind of rude wolfing down food. Instead, he

looked pleasing to the eye.

Things like temperament could only be understood and not talked about.

Even if she knew that this man in front of her was a temperamental and irritable man. however, the

temperament on his body could not be concealed.

After Alyssa finished eating, she lazily leaned back in her chair and watched him eat.

It had been a long time since the two of them sat quietly together and ate together.

When she took a closer look, she found that Emmett's complexion was not very good. He was a little

off-color and thinner than the last time she saw him.

Alyssa looked at him and subconsciously asked, "Do you eat on time every day?"

Once the words left her mouth, Alyssa pursed her lips awkwardly, "I just..."

Emmett raised his eyes to look at her, liis pair of pitch-black eyes shining brightly with undisguised joy.

Alyssa was unable to finish her sentence.

Was her caring about him gave him so much joy?

"I ate on time, but the food outside isn't as good as what you cooked." Emmett was not good at flowery

words, but when he said those words in all seriousness, it sounded like sweet words.

Alyssa lowered her eyes. "You can leave after you finish eating."

Emmett was silent for a moment and then said, "I will wash the dishes before leaving."

"There is no need..." Before Alyssa could finish, Emmett had already stood up. He put away the plates

on the table and earned them into the kitchen.

Alyssa also stood up. When she was about to stop him, she heard knocks on the door.

Who was it so late at night?

Alyssa looked through and found it was Hazel.

She opened the door and asked in surprise, "Hazel, why are you here? It’s so late."

Hazel looked til ed and it was obvious that she had just finished her work and came to look for her.

She kicked a box on the ground and said, "The crew brought Lychee from her hometown and gave me

two boxes. I came back and passed by you, so I brought you a box."

As Hazel spoke, she went into Alyssa's room.

Alyssa followed behind and squatted down to cany the box of lychee into the room. "It's already so late

and you still want to make a trip? I could’ve gone and get it myself."

"It doesn’t matter. You don't have a car, so I brought it to you on the way back." Hazel walked to the

edge of the sofa and sat down next to it.

At this time, Emmett's voice came from the kitchen, "Alyssa, there are no more detergents."

The kitchen was near the door. The two of them had just walked in and passed by the kitchen, but

because Hazel was busy talking to Alyssa, she did not know that there were still people in the kitchen.

There was a moment of silence in the air.

Hazel turned her head to look at Alyssa. The words "You are hiding a man" were written in her eyes.

Alyssa did not know whether to laugh or ciy. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Emmett walk out

of the kitchen out of the comer of her eye.

Just now he told Alyssa that the detergent was gone and waited for Alyssa to answer for a long time

but he didn’t get it. So he walked out himself.

When he walked out, he saw Hazel.

Hazel also saw Emmett and the pink floral apron he was wearing.

Hazel was also there when Alyssa bought this floral apron. Alyssa just came back a few days ago and

did not pay much attention to anything, so Hazel pulled her along to buy things.

A tall and straight man was wearing a white shirt, black pants, and a pink floral apron. He rolled up liis

sleeves and walked out of the kitchen.

It should’ve been a warm moment in a family.

However, when placed on Emmett's body, it gave off a strange feeling.

Even though he wore a pink floral apron, he was not gentle at all. His aura did not diminish.

Hazel woke up from the sofa like she’s sleepwalking and called out. "Big Boss?"

"Yes." Emmett replied and turned to Alyssa. "Where's the detergent?"

The atmosphere was a little strange.

"It's in the cabinet." Alyssa looked at Hazel and walked into the kitchen. "I'll help you get it."

The kitchen counter was very narrow. Alyssa put a lot of tilings in the cabinet.

She took out the detergent and looked up at Emmett. "You... should go back first."

"I will go back after I finish washing." Emmett took the detergent from her hand expressionlessly. He

walked to the sink and bent down to start washing the dishes.

Emmett had never washed dishes before. He was obviously a little rusty when he did it, but he washed

it very seriously.

Emmett kept his word. After he finished washing the dishes, he did not stay any longer and left

immediately.

Hazel, who had witnessed the whole process, was still in a sleepwalking state when Emmett left.

"What's going on with you guys? Are you guys separated or not?"

Hazel could not understand the relation between the two of them.

Alyssa said while unpacking the cardboard box containing Lychee, "We are temporarily separated."

Hazel tentatively asked, "In other words, you two still have feelings for each other?"

Alyssa paused, then nodded. "Yes."

She had escaped abroad not because she did not love Emmett.

It was because she could not let herself be completely controlled and lose herself just because she

loved someone.

In this relationship, she wanted to place herself in the same position as Emmett. She could not let

Emmett control her forever.
