CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 442

Alyssa returned to the kitchen and poked her head out to look at the father and daughter outside.

Seeing that Emmett still did not move, Angela pointed in the direction of the kitchen and urged him. "Daddy, quickly go."

Emmett's face was tense, as he stood up expressionlessly and walked towards the kitchen.

Alyssa turned around and walked to the counter, pretending to be busy.

Very quickly, Emmett walked in.

Alyssa pretended that she knew nothing and asked with a face full of doubt. "What's wrong with you?"

Emmett asked her with a dark face, "Where is the bowl?"

Alyssa pointed at the kitchen cabinet behind her.

The kitchen cabinet was right behind her. Emmett came over to open the cabinet. The kitchen was not very big and the space was narrow. Alyssa could touch him when she turned around.

She waited for Emmett to take the bowl and leave before following him out.

Angela watched Emmett take out the bowl and imitated Alyssa's usual encouragement style. She gave a thumbs up and said seriously, "Daddy, you’re great!"

Emmett had lived for half of his life and this was the first time he was praised by a little girl.

But he did not have any special feelings.

He pursed his lips and said indifferently: "Let's eat."

Fortunately, Angela had long gotten used to Emmett's cold attitude. Even if Emmett was different from before, it was difficult for Angela to discover.

Children ate less, so Angela was always the first one to finish the meal.

After she finished the meal, she ran to the side to play with toys.

Only Alyssa and Emmett were left sitting face to face at the dining table.

The atmosphere was rarely harmonious. Alyssa asked him. “Did you get any news about that hypnotist?"

"No." Emmett said without raising his head.

Alyssa's expression turned a little pale. She thought for a moment and said, "If even you can't find him, it can only mean that he is deliberately hiding from us."

Only then did Emmett look up at her.

Although he did not say anything, Alyssa could see from his eyes that he was motioning for her to go on.

"The hypnotist Kathleen found is the world's top hypnotist expert, so his value is definitely not low. Let’s assume that Kathleen gave him a very generous reward. However, he is currently hiding from us. It means that he may not be after money. After all, the reward you can give him is definitely more than what Kathleen can give him."

After Alyssa finished saying this, she looked up at Emmett's reaction.

Emmett put down his chopsticks and leaned back. His tone did not carry any emotion. "Continue."

"This means that the hypnotist may be trying to hypnotize you with some purpose. . ."

This time, Emmett interrupted Alyssa before she could finish her sentence. "Some purpose? For example?"

Alyssa thought for a moment and said, "Let’s make a simple guess. This hypnotic expert might have a grudge with you."

Emmett seemed to have heard something funny. A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. "Do you know how I deal with people who have grudges with me?"

Alyssa slightly clenched her fingers and said. "Do you think that if that hypnotic expert really has grudges with you, his method of revenge is not ruthless enough?"

To let a person forget his past, to forget his lover, children, and friends, wasn't this considered ruthless?

"My life doesn’t change because of this." Emmett's eyes were extremely cold.

The person who lost his memory was always ignorant, but the ones who suffered the most were those who had been forgotten.

"Let's eat." Alyssa did not continue this topic with him.

It was not a happy thing to continue talking about this topic.

Alyssa lowered her head and ate in silence.

Emmett could clearly feel Alyssa's mood dropping. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

As Alyssa lowered her head, Emmett could only see her long eyelashes. Her expression was indifferent and she was not very happy.

He did not say anything more. The two of them finished their meal in silence.

After the meal, Emmett wanted to go back.

Angela, who had been playing with toys, saw Emmett walking towards the door and ran towards him with her big eyes wide open.

"Daddy, where are you going?" As Angela said, she pointed outside the window. "It's getting dark."

Emmett looked down at her. "I’m going home."

Angela was too young and short. It was a little tiring for him to look at her like this. So he took half a

step back.

Angela grabbed the corner of his clothes and turned to look at Alyssa, "Mommy."

Alyssa's voice was the same as her expression was very faint. "Your Daddy is going back. Don't drag on him."

"No." Angela frowned. It was rare for her to lose her temper. "I don't want Daddy to leave me!"

Angela rarely lost her temper like this.

Sometimes, when a child lost his temper, it did not mean that she would not be obedient.

She would lose her temper because she had her own requests.

Although she is still very young, she is also an independent person.

She rarely separated from Emmett. However, she rarely met him during this period of time, so she really wanted to stay with Emmett.

She wanted to stay with her father. This was not an excessive request.

Alyssa pursed her lips and looked at Emmett. "Take her back for the night. If you don't have time later, you can ask Frank to send her over or I can go and pick her up myself."

After she finished speaking, she squatted down and said to Angela, "If you can't bear to part with your Daddy, then go back with Daddy and come back when you miss Mommy."

Angela frowned, "You come too."

"I won't go. As long as you miss me, I will come to find you." Alyssa touched her head, "Be obedient."

Angela pursed her lips. Clearly, she was not very happy.

She looked at Emmett and then looked at Alyssa. She lowered her head and did not speak.

Alyssa stood up and opened the door. "You can go. Ella's clothes and daily necessities are all in your villa. You have maids there. They will take care of Angela."

It was precisely because of this that she felt at ease and asked Emmett to bring Angela back.

Emmett did not know what he was thinking. He frowned and led Angela out.

Alyssa stood at the door and watched the two of them enter the elevator. Only then did she close the door and return to the room.

Emmett led Angela into the elevator.

He pressed the floor button and heard a small sobbing sound from beside him.

He turned his head to look and saw Angela reaching out her hand to wipe her tears.

Emmett frowned even more and said coldly, "What are you crying for?"

Hearing this, Angela looked up at him. However, upon seeing his cold expression, she burst into tears.

“Whuu….”

Her face was full of tears. Her nose and eyes were all red. She was still wiping away her tears.

Angela's cries echoed throughout the elevator.

A trace of irritation flashed through Emmett's eyes. He reached out and picked Angela up.

Perhaps it was because he had hugged Angela before, so when he hugged her, his movements were so skillful that it surprised him.

Emmett tried his best to make his voice gentle. "Don't cry."

Angela was crying so hard that she was twitching. She said intermittently, "Why didn't Mommy come. . . with us? You . . . don’t let her . . . come . . ."
