CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 226

When Frank saw Emmett coming out, he got out of the car and opened the door for him.

"Young master."

Emmett nodded slightly. His expression was still cold.

Emmett got into the car and asked Frank, "How did you and your wife get a divorce?"

Frank was stunned. He did not know why Emmett would ask such a question.

But since Emmett had asked, he naturally had to say it.

"Exactly, I can't say why. I have already forgotten the last time we argued. At that time, we all thought that divorce was a good way for both of us."

Frank's tone carried traces of disappointment.

"Do you still love her?"

Frank did not hesitate. "Yes."

"If you still love her, why did you agree to divorce her?" Emmett's tone was still indifferent, but it made people feel the subtle emotions in his tone.

Frank vaguely understood why Emmett asked him about the divorce.

"She mentioned it. She said that every day is torturous. Divorce might make her feel better. I can't bear to see her in so much pain." Frank's voice was hoarse.

Emmett sat in the back. He could see Frank's mature and steady face from his direction.

His special assistant was a man who took care of the big picture. He was not special, but he was cautious and honest when doing things. That was why he had taken a liking to Frank at first glance.

"Aren't you in pain?"

"Yes, I am painful." Frank smiled as if he had thought of something joyful. "But I can see my son once a week. I happen to see her again."

Emmett frowned and said angrily, "Do you have children? Since you have children, as long as you don't give them to her, how can she leave you?"

Frank also knew that Emmett didn't let Alyssa go out a while ago.

He roughly knew where Emmett's knot was.

"If I let go, I would be very satisfied if I could make her happy."

"Even if it is not you who bring her happiness?" Emmett asked.

"Yes."

Emmett sneered. "In that case, it would be better to tie the two of them together."

Frank was a little helpless about Emmett's thoughts. "Young master, you can't treat relationships like this."

"It seems that you are very happy to be alone?" Emmett said with a mocking tone.

Frank, “…”

If the young master did not agree, the young master would add salt to his wound.

He had followed Emmett since he graduated from university, so he naturally knew Emmett better than others. He knew that Emmett had a knot in his heart, and he had also seen Emmett's methods.

He did not dare to say that Emmett was a good person, but he dared to say that Emmett was not bad. This was also the reason why he and Emmett had been together for so many years.

One person could be under another person for many years, not only because of his rich salary, but also because of this person's personal charm.

…

After Alyssa ate breakfast, she sat in the hall, flipping through the calendar.

Only then did she realize that the new year was coming in ten days.

Putting her phone aside, she felt a little annoyed.

The previous incident on the Internet had passed, but it was almost the end of the year. She did not need to rush out to find a job now. Furthermore, she was still pregnant. Very few companies would want an employee who would have to take two months of maternity leave after her transfer.

All her plans had been messed up. She had to wait until the child was born before she could start again. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Every time she thought of this, Alyssa's resentment towards Emmett would resurface in her heart.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Sorry, Mr. Lawrence has orders."

"How dare you not let me in!"

The sound of arguing came from outside. Alyssa returned to her senses and got up to walk towards the door.

When she walked out of the hall, she saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of the villa. They seemed to be quarreling.

The bodyguards seemed to be blocking someone.

However, the bodyguard was too tall. He completely blocked the person who was talking to them. Alyssa could not see the person.

She walked over, "What happened?"

"Mrs. Lawrence."

The bodyguards stepped back and nodded respectfully.

At this time, Alyssa finally saw the person who was blocked by the bodyguards. It was Eliza whom she had seen once in Lawrence Mansion.

This time, Eliza was even more polite than when she was in Lawrence Mansion.

When she saw Alyssa, she smiled and called out, "Third Sister-in-law."

Alyssa could see that she was deliberately trying to please her, but she pretended not to see and said with a face full of surprise, "You came to find Emmett? He went to the company."

Eliza's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal, "No, it is not. I heard Grandfather say that you are pregnant and specially came to see you. I even specially brought you a set of cosmetics for pregnant women. "

As she spoke, she raised the handbag in her hand a little higher.

Alyssa looked at the logo and recognized that it was a product under the Lawrence Group. Emmett had already asked someone to bring a few sets over.

She did not hit the smiling person. Since Eliza had come to her door, it was not good for her to chase

them away.

"Thank you so much." Alyssa reached out to take it, "Sit inside."

Eliza heard her and wanted to follow her inside, but the bodyguards did not let her go.

Alyssa turned around and looked. "This is young master's cousin. Why aren't you letting her in?"

Only then did the bodyguard let Eliza in.

Eliza walked up and was about to pretend to be intimate to hold Alyssa's arm but was avoided by Alyssa without batting an eyelid.

She withdrew her hand awkwardly and looked around. Seeing that no one was looking at her, she let out a sigh of relief.

The moment Alyssa entered, she saw Amelia.

Alyssa directly called her, "Amelia, help me put this thing away properly. This is a gift from Eliza. Put it properly for me and don't break it."

Amelia thought that Alyssa would make things difficult for her after the showdown with Alyssa yesterday. However, she did not expect Alyssa to not make things difficult for her.

But she did not think that Alyssa would be so kind and virtuous.

At this moment when she heard Alyssa asking her to take something, Amelia sneered in her heart.

Indeed, she was going to reveal her fox tail!

When she raised her head and saw Eliza, her expression suddenly changed.

"Eliza?"

"Amelia!"

The two of them called out their names almost at the same time.

"You two know each other?" Alyssa's face revealed surprise.

Actually, she did it on purpose. Amelia was the daughter of the director of Herton TV Station and Eliza was the host of the TV Station. The two of them knew each other.

Before Alyssa graduated, there was a classmate who was doing an internship at Herton Television Station. Someone had already told her about Eliza and Amelia.

But at that time, she did not know that the director's daughter was called Amelia.

Eliza was an airborne soldier. Anyone with discerning eyes knew that her identity was not ordinary and Amelia was the Station Head's daughter. She was doing the work behind the scenes of the television station. The two of them often met and both of them looked good. Naturally, they were compared.

So the two of them often fought against each other.

Alyssa only remembered this matter when she saw Eliza just now.

Eliza noticed Amelia's maid uniform and said mockingly, "I have heard that Miss Collins wants to marry into our Lawrence family. I did not expect that you would rather be a maid to enter our Lawrence family."

Amelia was so angry that her face turned pale. "What does it have to do with you?"
