The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

"What's wrong with her drafts?" Emily asked flatly, the cold wind blowing from the balcony waking her up for a moment.

Did she need Michael's protection?

Maybe she did before. But now, she really didn't need him anymore.

"All the drafts she made while working in the art department at Smith Corporation

were plagiarized from your works. I've already had Andrew check it out... It seems you knew all along."

Michael's eyes reddened. He didn't expect Emily to endure so much.

Was she afraid? Or did she not care?

How could she not care? Those were her painstaking efforts, drawn stroke by stroke.

If she endured all this, there must be a reason.

Michael just wanted to know why she didn't tell him directly.

Clearly, he could stand up for her.

"What's the use of knowing all along? Would you believe me?" she retorted.

The wind blew harder, making both Emily and Michael's faces sting and their noses turn red from the cold.

But Emily had no intention of leaving, because in her view, no cold could compare to the chill in her heart.

"So all these years, do you know why I insisted on moving out of the Brown Villa? And why I never got along with my half-sister?

"She always claimed to be the elder sister, and I was the illegitimate child. You never investigated privately, just believed whatever she said. She said my mom was the mistress, and her mom was the legitimate wife. But have you ever seen a legitimate wife living off the mistress's property?

"Michael, sometimes I don't know if you're really stupid or just pretending. Have you ever thought about how I've been living all these years?"

Emily looked at Michael, her expression cold, her words mocking. "But now none of this matters. Let's take Veda back to Emerald City and report to Grandpa. There's no need to delve into other matters. As for Sophia's plagiarism, if you want to seek compensation from her, I can help."

"Other than that, you don't need to waste your breath on me." With that, Emily turned to leave.

Michael, still unwilling, called out to her.

"Emily, I just ask for your forgiveness."

This time, Michael sincerely apologized, humbling himself to the ground, just hoping Emily could forgive him this once.

But to Emily, all of this was so fragile and vulnerable.

"There's no need for forgiveness, Michael. We've been married for three years. Let's just get along peacefully from now on.

"I don't want to pursue other matters, and I hope you won't interfere too much in my life." Emily left the balcony without looking back.

The cold wind howled, growing louder.

Michael stood there, like a puppet with its strings cut, lifeless, with Emily's words "married for three years" echoing in his ears.

In these three years, what had he given Emily?

Probably mostly grievances.

If that's the case, why beg Emily to look back at him?

The Taylor Villa

Isabella had been urging Hayden to return Brown Corporation, so she hadn't had time to contact Emily.

Today, she finally had the chance, but she couldn't reach her no matter what.

So she directly called Michael.

"I know you and Emily have misunderstandings, Michael. Don't worry, time is the best healer. You just need to wait."

Isabella understood what Emily was thinking.

Emily was just being stubborn in a fit of anger, unwilling to admit her feelings to Michael.

If she didn't care about Michael, how could she let Sophia off? Plagiarism is a fatal blow to an original artist who painstakingly creates their work.

And if she didn't care about Michael, how could she leave her work and go to Everglade City to find Veda, leaving her recently discharged mother at home? Isabella knew Emily loved Michael deeply.

But Emily was also very stubborn.

Isabella didn't want Emily to have regrets or accidentally ruin years of affection because of her stubbornness, so she kept persuading Michael over the phone.

"Michael, you're a man. Let me give you some advice: be proactive. Women enjoy the feeling of being pursued and valued."

With that, hearing the affirmative response from the other end of the phone, Isabella felt relieved.

"Alright, knowing you and Emily are safe is enough. Come back early and remember to come home for dinner."

Isabella was a businesswoman, skilled in communication.

Since Emily had played the bad cop, Isabella played the good cop, at least letting Michael know that she, as the mother-in-law, was satisfied with him as a son-in-law.

Sure enough, Michael, who had been heartbroken a moment ago, was instantly uplifted by Isabella's encouragement.

"Mom, I understand," he said.

After hanging up, Isabella sighed in relief.

At that moment, the house cleaner approached her. "Ms. Taylor, should I clean Ms. Brown's room as well?"

Isabella put down her phone, tightened her fur shawl, and replied, "Of course."

Seeing the house cleaner go upstairs, Isabella picked up the phone again.noveldrama

She quickly dialed a number, and it was soon answered.

Isabella's expression immediately darkened, and her tone became very unkind. "When are you planning to move out?"

Hayden quickly responded on the other end. "Isabella, do you have a heart! Emily's still willing to leave me a house and a branch company, but you're pushing me to the wall!"

Since losing the lawsuit, Hayden had closed Brown Corporation and dismissed the staff.

He thought he was already in a miserable state, but Isabella still wanted to drive him

out completely, leaving no room for negotiation. After all, they had been married for several years.

But this argument was clearly useless in front of Isabella.

She raised an eyebrow, with a controlling expression and tone, and replied.

"That's Emily's decision. As far as I know, she negotiated the terms with you while I was sick, right? Why haven't you complied before?

"Obviously, you were not satisfied. That's fine. I've just given you a new one" Isabella was clearly provoking.

Hayden never expected that the person he almost killed would come back to haunt him. If he had known, he would have...

"Isabella, we were in love once and have such a lovely daughter, Emily! You've been ruthless enough. Can't you leave some dignity for me? We might still meet each other in the futher."
