CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 282

Alyssa was silent for a moment then blurted out her guess, "I think he wants the child."

But she did not expect Hazel to deny it as soon as she said it, "Impossible! If Emmett just wants to have a child, would he need to beat his brain and put in so much effort? How many women want to give birth to a child for him? I see. He hasn’t given up at all!”

Alyssa fell silent when she heard that.

After a while, Alyssa continued, "Hazel, the most important thing to me now is the child. The things Emmett has done made me very uneasy."

She did not and had no time to think about the problem whether Emmett had given up or not. She also didn’t want to think about it.

"Why don't you run away like before?"

Just after saying that, Hazel refuted herself, "You are about to give birth. Where are you going to run to?"

Alyssa was listening to Hazel's words, but her thoughts had already drifted far away.

Everything seemed to have returned to its original state.

At the beginning when she thought she successfully escaped, Emmett did not look for her anymore.

Later, when she thought she could calmly give birth to this child, she found out that she was

surrounded by Emmett's people.

She did not know what Emmett was thinking, nor did she know what he was going to do.

After hanging up with Hazel, Alyssa thought about it and still felt uneasy.

She went out to look for Justin.

"Miss Alyssa?" Justin opened the door and saw Alyssa. He quickly moved aside and let her in.

Alyssa walked in and sat down on the sofa directly.

Justin closed the door and walked in. "Do you want some water?"

Alyssa looked up at him and said in a serious tone. "Call Emmett."

"Huh?" Justin was stunned for a moment, and then he began to play dumb. "What are you talking about… My cousin doesn't know I'm in Sydney… If he knows…"

Justin wanted to explain but he shuttered while speaking.

Although he was indeed instructed by Emmett to come to Sydney and find Alyssa, Emmett reminded him again and again not to let Alyssa know that it was Emmett who had sent him over here.

In the end, he let the cat out of the bag on his first day?

Although Justin was a little smart and crafty, in Alyssa's eyes, he was just a child.

Alyssa directly ignored Justin's words. Her tone carried a force that could not be refuted. "Call him. I have something to say to him."

Her tone was actually somewhat similar to Emmett’s.

Justin could only take out his phone and call Emmett.

After he pulled out the phone and dialed, he turned on the hands-free and placed the phone in front of Alyssa.

Alyssa lowered her eyes and looked at the phone. The screen showed that the number was being dialed. It was still the familiar number to her.

The hands hanging by her side could not help clenching. Her heart beat erratically for a moment.

At this time, the phone was picked up.

A familiar voice came out from the phone. "What is it?"

Emmett's voice was low and deep. But when it came out from the phone, it sounded even colder.

Alyssa opened her mouth slightly and suddenly did not know what she was going to say.

Since she left Holston City until now, this was the first time she had heard Emmett's voice in nearly half a year.

Justin saw that Alyssa did not speak for a long time and wanted to remind her. However, upon seeing Alyssa's absent-minded look, Justin did not say anything but only reached out and nudged her without making a sound

Only then did Alyssa come back to her senses.

She pursed her lips and was about to speak when she heard Emmett's voice on the phone ring again, "Alyssa."

His tone was calm and confident.

Before Alyssa could say anything in reply, Justin, who was next to her, became excited instead, "Cousin, do you have eyes that are thousands of miles long? How did you know it was Miss Alyssa who called you?"

Emmett was silent on the other end of the phone.

Justin touched his nose and tactfully said, "You guys talk. I'll go back to my room and sleep for a while."

The room Alyssa had booked for him was a small suite which was relatively spacious. There was a living room, a bedroom, and a dining room.

As Justin walked into the room, he pricked up his ears to the door to listen to what the two of them were saying, but he did not hear anything.

As soon as he left, the living room became even quieter.

Alyssa did not say anything. And Emmett remained silent as if he was waiting for her to speak.

After a while, Alyssa finally found her voice and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Emmett did not respond to her question directly. Instead, he asked her back. "Don't you know what I want to do?"

"I don't know!" Alyssa's voice was a little sharp, "I never know."

Yes, she had never been able to guess what Emmett wanted to do.

She could not guess his thoughts.

Emmett's tone was so calm that there was not a trace of fluctuation. "Then you can rest assured and take care of the fetus."

Alyssa sneered. "And then? You want to snatch away the child?"

Emmett's voice was finally tinged with anger. "It is our child."

"Emmett Lawrence, let me tell you, don't even think about bringing the child back to the Lawrence family!"

Alyssa knew that if Emmett really wanted to snatch the child from her, she would not be able to get the baby back from him.

However, she could not just watch helplessly as her child was brought back to the Lawrence family by Emmett.

Just as Henry had said, there was a group of people in the Lawrence family who ate people but did not even spit out their bones. They were all ruthless and greedy.

The people of Lawrence Family definitely had something to do with both what had happened to Winston and Emmett’s mother.

Suddenly, Emmett said in a deep voice, "Alyssa, do you believe me?"

Alyssa was slightly stunned. She did not expect him to ask such a question all of a sudden.

Did she believe him?

She herself didn’t know…

Emmett, however, did not seem to really want Alyssa's answer. He just continued talking to himself, "Take care of yourself. I will take care of everything and then I will bring you back, both of you."

His tone was no different from the way he cared about her before. This made Alyssa the illusion that the two of them were not separated.

While she was in a daze, Emmett had already hung up the phone.

Alyssa looked at the dark screen. She somewhat could not figure out the situation. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Emmett said that he would take care of everything and bring the two of them back.

The two of them? Did he mean her and the baby?

Emmett hung up the phone and stared blankly at his phone.

The assistant brought the coffee in. Seeing Emmett like this, he whispered, "President, your coffee."

As expected, Emmett ignored him.

The assistant sighed. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard Emmett's voice from behind. "Help me book a ticket to Sydney."

"Sydney?" The assistant was a little puzzled. He remembered the recent schedule very well, and the president did not arrange anything to go to Sydney.

Just as the assistant was confused, he heard Emmett say again, "Forget it."

The assistant had no other choice but to close the door and leave. But when he was closing the door, he could vaguely hear Emmett's laughter.

It must be his imagination. He had been here for so long, but he had never seen the president laugh.

Emmett opened the photo album on his phone. It was full of Alyssa's photos.

He looked at each photo one by one with a gentle expression. His fingers gently slid across Alyssa's face on the photo, and a hint of determination appeared in his ink like eyes.

Very soon, I will be able to see you.
