The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

At the brink of losing control, Michael really wanted to break through this barrier and have sex with Emily.

But seeing her pitifully clinging to him, timidly responding to his kisses, Michael suddenly softened. He paused, but still couldn't resist quickly pecking Emily's lips a few more times.

Michael gazed at the flustered and blushing Emily, as if admiring a piece of art that belonged solely to him. They were meant to be a couple, meant to be together.

Thinking this, Michael couldn't help but pull Emily tightly back into his arms.

Emily didn't know what Michael intended to do next. She was a bit at a loss, but her attention was entirely on the messy bathroom counter.

'Yes... yes, the calcium tablets, he absolutely can't find the calcium tablets,' she thought to herself.

Just as Emily's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, she heard Michael's deep voice from within his embrace.

"Emily, can we make up?"

Emily doubted her ears. She was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What did you say?"

Michael suddenly fell silent.

Saying that to Emily had taken a lot of courage.

Unfortunately, she didn't hear it.

"Nothing." Michael let go of Emily and raised an eyebrow at her. "What did you come in for?"

Emily stammered for a moment. She quickly glanced at the bathroom counter but didn't see the calcium tablet box.

'Strange, I just left it here last night.' She was quite confused.

Suddenly, Emily remembered something.

Last night, after taking the calcium tablets, she was going to leave them on the bathroom counter because she was really tired, planning to undress, wash up, and then dive into bed.

But then the phone rang, and she hurried to answer Isabella's call, taking the calcium tablets with her.

So the calcium tablet box should be next to the phone on the bedside table now!

"Nothing!" Emily answered abruptly, startling Michael. "I just... I just came in to get a comb. I'll go out now, you continue." Saying this, Emily turned and left the bathroom.

Michael followed her out. "But you didn't take the comb."

Emily was stunned again. "Right, I didn't take it. I'll get it now."

Emily had no choice but to go back into the bathroom, grab the comb, and then sheepishly come out.

Her actions seemed strange, but Michael didn't suspect anything. He just thought Emily was shy, so he didn't think much of it.

After Michael finished washing up, Emily had already checked everything inside and out, making sure there was nothing that could arouse his suspicion. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and had time to recall that unexpected kiss.

It was indeed unexpected.

They had accidentally bumped into each other, and both instinctively moved closer... What did that mean?

Emily felt like her mind was being torn apart by an angel and a devil.

"What could it mean? It means we're both straight. Spending so much time together these days, and being married, it's normal to develop feelings! It doesn't mean anything!" the devil said.

"Wrong, completely wrong! It clearly means that Michael and I have feelings for each other. We don't reject each other, we even want to have sex, if it weren't for the baby."

"I know I'm love-struck, but I won't allow myself to be a forgetful love-struck. Don't you remember what Michael did to you before? He didn't want to touch you, he didn't like you at all!"

"No, these past few days he's been acting differently towards me. Maybe he really is starting to fall in love with me."

"You're even more wrong. Fall in love with me? Michael is clearly a playboy, a refined egoist. He's only acting differently because we left Emerald City and now only have each other!"

Michael's loud sneeze instantly interrupted Emily's thoughts.

She snapped back to reality, only to see Michael looking at her like she was a monster.

"What are you thinking about? You seem distracted. Didn't you sleep well?"

Saying this, Michael raised his hand to touch Emily's forehead.

This touch made Emily's thoughts chaotic again.

"No fever!" With that, Michael bent down.

He sat on the bed, his eyes level with Emily's, a mischievous smile appearing. "Then

what's wrong with you? Is it because just now..."

"Michael."

Before Michael could finish his sentence, Emily suddenly became serious.

She looked at Michael, her expression full of resistance and displeasure.

Seeing this, Michael had no choice but to retract his smile.

"Do you think that after these few days together, you and I can joke around like

friends? I still say, once we get back, we divorce immediately."

With that, Emily pushed past Michael and started packing her luggage.

Michael stood there, stunned, his eyes following Emily.

Friends?

Michael had never considered Emily a friend.

He used to see her as his legal wife, but now, she was the only woman in his heart.

Later, the three of them packed their luggage and continued on their journey. According to their agreement with Kieran, Kieran and Veda would be back the night after tomorrow.

Before leaving, Kieran had left Daniel a key, so they could avoid the tourist peak, first go to Kieran's pharmacy to drop off their things, then buy some things for Kieran.

Then they would buy some clothes and cosmetics for Veda, so she could look beautiful when they returned to Emerald City together.

Of course, that was Emily's idea.

If it were up to Michael, he would first give Veda a good scolding.

After all, the Smith family business was so large, Michael couldn't handle it all alone.

He had hoped Veda could help him out.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let her study for an MBA.

But when Michael went against everyone's wishes to let Veda study, she threw a tantrum and ran away from home. This made him very disappointed in her, to the point of considering letting her go.noveldrama

Fortunately, Emily had persuaded him several times, making Michael give up that idea. They had grown up without parental love.

If he, as her brother, also gave up on Veda, she would be more depressed.

On the road for several days, the three of them had developed a strange sense of understanding.

Michael would drive the first half, then Emily would take over in the middle, and Daniel would drive the night shift.

Another day had unknowingly passed.

The number of tourists in Everglade City kept increasing. Even at 1 a.m., the road was

still congested. Helpless, the three of them discussed what to eat while stuck in traffic.

"I want to eat snacks."

Emily was the first to voice her opinion, only to be immediately opposed by Michael. Sometimes Emily really wondered if Michael was sent by God to torment her.
