CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 362

After Xavier returned to the dining table and sat down, Sampson asked Alyssa with concern, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. That Mr. Xavier just now did not mean any harm." As she spoke, Alyssa turned her head and looked in Xavier's direction.

But who knew that Xavier was also looking at her. Xavier stared at Alyssa with his eyes were full of doubt and confusion.

"It's good that you're fine. Let's order some dishes." Sampson did not continue the topic.

On the other side, Xavier looked at Alyssa as he ate.

His mother, Mrs. Halls, looked at her son’s actions and suddenly asked, "Xavier, do you know what you look like now?"

"What?" Xavier asked absentmindedly.

Mrs. Halls looked at Alyssa and mysteriously whispered into Xavier's ear, "You are now like a husband who caught his wife cheating on him."

Xavier turned his head and stared at Mrs. Halls for a few seconds. Then he said seriously, "No, I am a friend of that husband." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"What?" Mrs. Halls was stunned for a long time. Then she asked tentatively, "Is that your friend's wife?"

"Yes." Xavier replied. Thinking of Emmett, he sighed and shook his head.

After thinking about for a while, he took out his phone and prepared give a call to Hazel to tell her that he had seen Alyssa.

However, he did not know what was going on with Alyssa. If he called Hazel, she could only be as anxious as him.

It was better to wait until he figured out what was going on with Alyssa.

When Alyssa and Sampson finished their meal, Xavier and other people at the table next to them was still eating.

When they arrived at the parking lot, the two of them got into the car. Sampson said, "My phone seems to have fallen in the restaurant. I'll go get it. Wait for me in the car."

"Okay." Alyssa did not doubt him at all. She said, "You go, I'll wait for you."

Sampson got out of the car and turned a corner before he reached at the back door of the restaurant.

Xavier was lighting a cigarette when he saw Sampson walk over. He asked, "Do you smoke?"

"Thank you." Sampson took the cigarette that Xavier handed him.

Xavier blew a smoke ring and asked directly with a serious face, "Who are you? How did you find Alyssa? Where did you hide her for the past three years?"

Hearing this, Sampson handed Xavier his business card. "Sampson West."

Xavier took it and looked at it. He looked at the words "psychological treatment clinic" briefly and then stuffed the business card into his pants pocket.

"You haven't answered my question." Xavier had no interest in what Sampson was doing. He only wanted to know about Alyssa’s things.

For Emmett and Hazel, he had the responsibility and obligation to know about Alyssa.

"I did not hide her. She was seriously injured in the accident back then. After undergoing dozens of major and minor surgeries, she had been in a coma for three years. She just woke up recently, but she forgot a lot of things. I hope that you so-called 'friends from the past' do not disturb her. Her body has not recovered yet. "

Sampson's expression was serious. There was no doubt in his tone.

After what happened that year, Emmett had almost recovered by the time he returned to the country.

Therefore, Xavier did not expect Alyssa to be so badly injured. She had been unconscious for three years before she woke up.

"Alyssa grew up in this City. She doesn't have many friends. When did she know you?" Sampson was very tight-lipped and did not let out any inside thing. So Xavier could only ask from the side.

"This has nothing to do with you. I saved her, so I am responsible for her health. You can go and see

her, but please don't disturb her and don't affect her health. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Sampson was very polite, but his tone was very tough.

His meaning was very clear. Alyssa was saved by him. He would not stop Xavier and the others from coming into contact with Alyssa, but he did not allow them to tell Alyssa about her past.

This person was simply making trouble for no reason!

However. . .

Xavier thought of Emmett's current situation and scratched his hair in annoyance. He lifted his foot and kicked the wall.

In the next moment, he was in so much pain that jumped around with one foot while hugging his feet.

When Sampson returned to the car, Alyssa had already begun to sleep with her eyes half closed.

When she heard the door close, Alyssa opened her eyes.

When Sampson saw her open her eyes, he asked her, "Are you very tired?"

"I'm fine." Alyssa looked at the phone that he threw to the side and asked, "Why did you go for so long?"

Sampson's expression was the same as usual. "I went to the bathroom while I was on the way."

Alyssa nodded and looked like she wanted to say something but could not able to say.

"If you have something to say, say it." Sampson smiled when he saw her look like she was about to give up.

Alyssa did not hesitate after hearing Sampson's words. She asked, "That Mr. Halls just now. . . do I really know him?"

"Maybe. What do you think?" Sampson asked her as he started the car.

"Don't you know him?" Alyssa was a little surprised. She thought that Sampson would know Xavier.

Sampson smiled and said, "I don't know him. I'm not sure if you know him or not. As you think, we were not close in the past."

Alyssa had been thinking that her relationship with Sampson might not be as close as an ordinary "unmarried couple," but she did not expect Sampson to have noticed what she was thinking.

She said somewhat uncomfortably, "You. . . How did you know. . .?"

"Because I was watching you with all my heart. That's why I know what you're thinking." Sampson pointed at his chest as he spoke.

Although he was talking to her, he did not look at her.

Alyssa turned her head and could only see the side of his face.

At this time, Sampson suddenly turned his head to look at her. "If you feel touched, you can tell me directly."

Alyssa heard him and could not help but laugh. "I am very touched."

Sampson curled his lips and laughed silently.

After Sampson went back, no matter how he thought, he did not feel good.

He drove to the Lawrence Group to look for Emmett

Emmett was a workaholic. He would stay in the company regardless of whether it was a work day or a weekend. When someone wanted to look for him, he would definitely stop Emmett at the entrance of the Lawrence Group.

When it was close to eight o'clock in the evening, Xavier finally saw Emmett walk out of the Lawrence Group’s main entrance.

"Emmett!"

Xavier called out and ran towards him.

When Emmett saw Xavier, he frowned. He was impatient. "Why are you here again? Why are you looking for me? Or do you want me to invest in you? I have told you that I'm not interested in the Nine Clouds Media."

Xavier was rendered speechless.

Three years ago, after Emmett woke up, he was the same as Alyssa today. He had forgotten about everyone and everything, including Alyssa.

Not to mention, he was the nominal Director Halls who had been oppressed by Young Master Lawrence for a long time.

"How many times have I said it? You are the boss behind the Nine Clouds Media!" Xavier could not remember how many times he had explained this to Emmett in the past three years.
