CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 457

Alyssa's reaction was still a little slow.

She stared at Emmett for a few seconds before she realized that Emmett was scolding her again.

She bit her lips and her tone was a little aggressive. “If you don't come to pick me up, what else can I do but crawl back?"

Actually, that wasn't the case.

If Emmett did not come to pick her up, Hazel would also bail her out. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Maybe it was because she had been with Emmett for a long time, Alyssa felt that she had started to play this kind of petty trick.

"It's good that you know." After Emmett said that, he looked at her up and down.

When his gaze swept across her chest, his eyes flashed. He quickly looked away and said coldly, "If you drink so much and bring yourself to the police station again, crawl back on your own!"

Alyssa noticed his gaze and looked down at herself in confusion. Only then did she realize that she had already taken a shower and changed her clothes. Furthermore, she did not wear any underwear.

No wonder Emmett's gaze just now was a little strange.

She subconsciously reached out her hands to block in front of her and immediately felt that it was unnecessary. For a moment, she did not know if she should take her hand back.

She changed the topic and asked, "Who helped me take a bath?"

When Alyssa said this, her expression was a little uneasy.

Emmett saw through her thoughts. He sneered and said, "Do you think it's me?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Alyssa’s face. She did think so just now.

Emmett had helped her take a bath in the past.

In the past, he would not let go any chance to get close to her even when she was awake, let alone when she was unconscious.

But his sarcastic reply had proven that he did not help her take a bath before.

Emmett did not wait for her to speak. He walked past her and left her room.

Alyssa turned back and saw Emmett's figure disappear. She ran over and closed the door. She turned back and threw herself on the bed in frustration.

This kind of Emmett really made her teeth itch.

Alyssa grabbed the blanket and covered her head. She thought hatefully that when Emmett recovered his memories, she would also torture him like this.

While she was in a daze thinking like this, she fell asleep.

The next morning, when Alyssa woke up, she felt something moving on the bed.

She propped herself up to look and saw Angela's big watery eyes. Her black eyes were extremely beautiful.

"Ella!" Alyssa happily carried Angela over.

"Hehe." Angela smiled and hugged Alyssa's neck and asked, "Why is Mommy here?"

Last night when she went to bed, she did not see her mother.

Thinking about how she was drunk and went to the police station last night, Alyssa felt a little guilty.

She pursed her lips and said, "I. . . I came quietly in the middle of the night."

"What?" Angela was a little confused at first, but then she nodded. "Oh, quietly."

Alyssa saw that Angela was still wearing pajamas, so she directly changed the topic and said, "Mommy will take you to wash your face and brush your teeth."

Half an hour later, Alyssa and Angela finished washing up and changed their clothes. When they went downstairs, Emmett was already sitting at the dining table.

He was holding a newspaper in his hand. When he heard Alyssa and Angela come in, he did not look at them. He was still focused on reading the newspaper in his hand.

Alyssa thought of the news that she and Henry had been captured by the media.

She did not speak and silently started to eat breakfast.

Angela could not stay idle. While eating, she curiously wanted to grab the newspaper in Emmett's hand. "Daddy, what are you reading?"

Emmett raised the newspaper in his hand a little higher and avoided Angela's small hand.

"Read the newspaper." His indifferent voice sounded from behind the newspaper.

"Oh." Although she did not know what the newspaper was, Angela received the answer and nodded her head in satisfaction.

After that, she did not cause any more trouble and obediently ate her meal.

Alyssa, on the other hand, still looked at Emmett curiously.

She only remembered what happened last night completely this morning.

To be exact, it was what happened on the way back from the police station to Emmett's villa last night.

Now that she thought about it, she felt very awkward.

Recently, she had been pestering Emmett, which was also a normal thing.

However, if she remembered correctly, before last night, she and Emmett were still in a cold war.

It was also possible that she felt that she was in a cold war with Emmett, and Emmett probably did not want to see her at all.

Thinking of this, Alyssa did not have the intention of sneaking glances at Emmett. She did not even have the appetite to eat.

The things on her plate did not move much. She just finished the milk and patted Angela's head. "Mommy is going to leave after she's full. Ella must be obedient."

Angela looked up at her in confusion. "Where is Mommy going?"

Alyssa thought for a moment and said, "Go to work. Mommy has been very busy recently, so you should be good and stay with Daddy obediently."

Angela nodded obediently. "Yes."

Her concept of work was still a little vague, but she could vaguely understand the meaning of Alyssa's words.

Alyssa pacified Angela and turned to look at Emmett. Seeing that he was still holding the newspaper, she pursed her lips and said, "Thank you for picking me up yesterday. I will leave first."

After she finished speaking, she did not immediately leave. Instead, she sat quietly on the chair for a few seconds.

She was sure that Emmett would not take the newspaper away and look at her. After that, she stood up and left.

After Alyssa left, Emmett threw the newspaper to the side.

Angela moved her mouth to the side of the plate and took a fork to eat the fried egg. She looked up at Emmett.

When she saw the deep green mark in Emmett's eyes, she laughed. "Daddy has panda eyes."

Emmett's mouth turned slightly stiff. He poured the fried eggs in his plate to Angela, "Eat more."

Angela looked at his face curiously as she ate.

It was said that Angela's eyes looked like him, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Angela looked more like Alyssa.

Angela was just a child and he could not say anything to her like he did to Alyssa, so he could only turn his head to the side and not look at her.

When he returned to his room last night, he did not know why but he could not sleep the entire night.

If he had not covered his face with the newspaper just now and Alyssa saw his dark circles, he did not know what would happen.

After Alyssa walked out of Emmett's villa, she took out her phone to call Hazel.

Hazel quickly picked up the phone. The background tone of the phone was at the airport. From time to time, the flight information was broadcasted.

Alyssa asked her, "You are already at the airport?"

"Yes, I am about to board the plane." Hazel said and handed the cup of water to her assistant. She then walked to the side and asked softly, "Did the big boss go to pick you up last night? Did he bring you home directly?"

When she went to the police station last night to pick Alyssa up, the police told her that Alyssa had already been picked up and a female police officer asked for her signature.
