The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

The road to Everglade City isn't far, but it still takes some time to get there.

The three of them stayed together on the way, with Michael and Daniel often competing with each other in secret. Emily couldn't be bothered with them and just focused on eating and resting.

But Daniel couldn't help but come over to check on her.

Emily knew that Daniel hadn't given up on pursuing her, even though she had made it clear to him before. Moreover, Emily was now pregnant, and Daniel was even more attentive to her.

However, to the unsuspecting father of the child, Michael, this behavior seemed like a show.

Michael had seen shameless people before, but Daniel was the first of his kind.noveldrama

Clearly, he and Emily were still legally married.

Wasn't Daniel's behavior a blatant declaration of war on him?

So, although the journey seemed calm and peaceful on the surface, only those involved could truly feel the undercurrents.

As a result, whenever Michael saw Emily and Daniel talking, his seemingly indifferent face would flash with sharp anger.

Michael could clearly feel an inexplicable jealousy burning inside him.

At the same time, he kept asking himself inwardly, 'Could it be... that I really love Emily?'

This question seemed difficult to answer, and Michael always found an excuse to either avoid or deny it.

But in reality, his subconscious actions and emotions couldn't lie to him.

On the way to Kieran's pharmacy, the three of them needed to rest and find something

to eat.

However, it was a holiday, and many people were traveling to Everglade City, so the rest stops were crowded.

They had to wait in line for food, but they were too hungry to wait.

So Emily suggested, "Let's go to the supermarket and buy some instant noodles. We can have a proper meal at Kieran's place later, and we can get there on time. Otherwise, I'm afraid Veda might leave before we arrive."

Emily's suggestion was good, and Michael and Daniel had no objections.

But just as the three of them picked out their instant noodles and were about to sit down to eat, something happened.

There weren't many supermarkets at the Emerald City rest stop, just one or two. Michael was picky and couldn't eat some junk food, so Emily always considered him in everything she did.

But perhaps it was his temper flaring up, or maybe he was always relying on Emily, and Michael was dissatisfied and seemed to be deliberately finding fault.

This naturally annoyed Daniel.

It wasn't just jealousy; it was also because Emily was pregnant and still had to take care

of an incompetent Michael. It was simply ridiculous!

So, during the meal, Daniel was the first to explode.

"Michael, you've got two hands and two feet! Can't you stop making Emily take care of you all the time?"

They had different perspectives and naturally understood things differently.

Michael was furious at Daniel's sudden accusation and immediately threw down his fork, glaring at Daniel.

"I've been putting up with you for days, Daniel. Do you have to go against me?" Daniel resolutely retorted.

"I've been putting up with you too, Michael. Emily is not your maid. She doesn't need to follow you around and take care of you!"

Michael thought Daniel was being unreasonable.

"If you're crazy, go see a doctor! What maid? She's my wife. How we get along is none of your business!"

Daniel, in a fit of anger, stood up and said.

"You still know she's your wife? Do you know that she..."

Before Daniel could finish, Emily quickly stood up and stopped him.

"Enough! Are you two still acting like children? Don't we have enough problems already?" Emily's angry shout silenced both of them.

Fortunately, there weren't many people around, and those who were watching quickly

dispersed when they saw Emily looking over.

Emily then gave Daniel a meaningful look.

Daniel realized he had almost let slip about the pregnancy in his moment of urgency.

He gave Emily an apologetic look and then sat down, frustrated.

Michael was also angry and couldn't eat, so he got up and walked outside.

Seeing this, Emily suddenly felt that bringing these two together was a terrible decision.

She quietly sat down, opened her instant noodles, and watched the steam rise, bringing with it the aroma.

But Emily had no appetite at all.

She thought of Veda and their exhausting journey to Everglade City to find her.

In the end, Emily thought maybe it was her fault for not understanding Veda. If she

had kept a better distance from Daniel, Veda wouldn't have misunderstood so much and thought she was fickle.

Thinking of this, Emily felt a bit guilty.

Yes, she clearly didn't have feelings for Daniel, so why couldn't she make it clear?

Even though that confession had made her feel a bit different.

But that was just a feeling and didn't mean anything.

Emily had to admit that her determination to keep the baby was the best proof that she still loved Michael.

"Daniel."

Daniel, who was sulking, suddenly heard Emily call him seriously. He looked up and noticed that Michael had already left.

Daniel sighed and, having no appetite, sat back down across from Emily and apologized.

"I'm sorry, Emily. I didn't mean to..."

Daniel wanted to say he would continue to keep Emily's secret.

But Emily didn't want to hear anything about the pregnancy right now. Walls have ears,

so she had to be extra careful not to let Michael find out.

Actually, it was easy to understand, and Emily didn't feel conflicted.

She just wanted to keep her baby. As for her three-year-long, lukewarm relationship with Michael, Emily was ready to give up.

"It's okay." Emily interrupted Daniel again, looking at him and smiling apologetically.

Seeing Daniel's confused expression, Emily continued, "I should be the one apologizing to you. I should have made things clear to you earlier. Otherwise, Veda wouldn't have run off to such a faraway place."

"What does this have to do with Veda?" Daniel didn't understand. Was there a connection?

Or was there, and should Emily apologize for it?

He went on, "Yes, the Smith family has some influence in Emerald City, but Emily, you don't have to ignore your own feelings because of that. I genuinely like you. Haven't you felt even a little bit moved over the years?"
