CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 225

Aurora heard this and looked at the person in the car with a surprised expression.

The lights were a little dim and she could not see that person's face clearly for a moment.

The next moment, the door was opened from the inside. The person in the car got out and walked to Aurora. "Auntie, it's me, Henry."

"Henry?"

Aurora roughly looked at him and felt that this man was very familiar.

She looked at him carefully and found that he looked very familiar. Isn't this man Henry Grant who was previously engaged to Skylar?

Henry had also been to the Moore family a few times and Aurora had an impression of him. He was a handsome young man. Otherwise, he would not have gotten Skylar's favor.

After so many things had happened, Skylar and Henry did not interact much. Instead, she had taken a fancy to an actor.

"Why is auntie still here at night?"

Aurora was embarrassed by Henry's question. She hesitated for a moment and was naturally embarrassed to say what was going on.

Even if she did not say it, Henry could guess something.

"My house is not far from here. Auntie, if you don't mind, you can come to my house tonight." After Henry finished speaking, he saw Aurora's troubled expression and said very thoughtfully, "It's my house."

Aurora going to Henry's house like this was definitely not suitable.

When she heard him say it was his house, Aurora's face revealed a smile. "How is this appropriate?"

"Nothing is inappropriate." Henry said and politely opened the door for her.

Aurora smiled and got into the car.

Along the way, the two of them chatted.

Unknowingly, Henry started to talk about Alyssa.

He asked unintentionally, "I haven't seen Alyssa for a long time. Is she okay recently?"

"You know Alyssa too?" After a short moment of surprise, Aurora remembered that she had complained to Skylar before, saying that Alyssa wanted to steal her boyfriend.

Skylar's boyfriend at that time was Henry.

Alyssa had liked Henry before?

"Yes, I am her senior. We have known each other for a long time." There was a trace of nostalgia in his tone, as if he had a good relationship with Alyssa.

Aurora could not help but ask, "Is it because of Skylar or because Alyssa, you want to take me in?"

"Of course it is because of Alyssa." Henry added, "Alyssa is a good girl."

At this time, they had arrived at the residential area where Henry lived.

Henry parked the car and opened the door for Aurora. "This is the place."

After he finished speaking, he opened the trunk. "Please wait for me. I need to get something."

Henry took the things and led the way.

Aurora followed behind him. She looked at his back and thought, "It would be great if he was her son- in-law.

Such a polite and refined young man, he was many times better than Emmett.

When she thought of Emmett, she shivered and followed him inside.

…

The next day.

When Alyssa entered the dining room, she saw Amelia carrying breakfast to the dining table.

It was not that she deliberately wanted to see Amelia, but that Amelia was too conspicuous.

Although Amelia wanted to snatch Emmett from her, she had to admit that Amelia was not bad looking. Coupled with her temperament and specially put on makeup, even if it was just an ordinary maid uniform worn on her, it could still make her stand out.

After yesterday's incident, Amelia calmed her heart and planned to take it slowly step by step.

Seeing Alyssa come in, she slightly nodded, "Young Madame." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Emmett was already sitting in front of the table.

She got up a little late recently. Emmett wanted to go to the company, so he woke up very early, but usually it was after he finished his meal and was ready to go to the company that Alyssa woke up.

Sometimes when she went downstairs, Emmett was already gone.

As soon as she sat down, she heard Emmett say, "The court is open today. I might come back later."

Emmett was talking about Skylar's case.

The indictment was intentional assault, but Alyssa was not injured.

However, the lawyer was Arthur. Skylar's sentence was already set.

Alyssa thought about it and said, "I will go too."

She wanted to listen in but could not say what she was thinking. She just wanted to see if Skylar had any regrets.

Emmett frowned. "I will go alone."

Alyssa's expression changed when she heard that. She put down the spoon in her hand and narrowed her eyes to look at Emmett.

She thought that this request was not too much. Why did Emmett not let her go?

Moreover, Amelia was still here. Wasn't he not going to give her face?

The reason why she kept Amelia was because she wanted to see how sincere Emmett was to her.

She believed in Emmett, but occasionally she felt uneasy.

No matter how she looked at it, she was not good enough for Emmett.

All her confidence was because of Emmett's sincerity.

Emmett's brows knitted even tighter. "It's cold. It's not convenient for your body."

Alyssa did not back down. "I can wear more. The doctor said I'm healthy."

She was still a little upset about Emmett not letting her go out. The two of them did not mention it again, but it did not mean that the matter had passed just like that.

Emmett looked up and stared at her for a few seconds. "I will come back to pick you up."

Alyssa thought of what had happened earlier and felt a little stifled. She lowered her head and continued to eat. However, the words that came out of her mouth urged him to leave. "Alright, you can go to work."

Emmett pursed his lips and went out with a cold face.

Amelia only looked at Alyssa with ridicule after Emmett went out.

In her opinion, Alyssa was too arrogant and dared to go against Emmett.

Alyssa felt that someone was looking at her. She raised her head and looked at Amelia. She hooked her lips and said faintly, "I know what you are thinking."

Amelia's expression changed at first and then returned to normal. "Is that so?"

She did not believe that Alyssa knew what she was thinking.

"Emmett is an excellent man. Everyone knows this. That's why all of you are attracted to him. It is not hard to understand, but…"

Alyssa paused slightly and her expression became more serious. "Everyone is an individual and not someone's accessory. You have thoughts and ways of doing things. When you are with a man who is better looking than you, do you have to lower your attitude?"

Amelia's expression changed slightly and she pursed her lips and did not say anything.

Alyssa felt that it was a little funny. "Perhaps you did not fall in love with Emmett too much. You just feel that Young Madame Lawrence's identity is very glorious. You are not the only woman who thinks Young Madame Lawrence's identity is good. Since so many have this idea, where did you get the confidence that Emmett will fall in love with you?"

Amelia was seen through by Alyssa and her tone was somewhat anxious. "Alyssa, shut up! You speak so righteously and you are still the same!"

Alyssa curled her lips, "Of course I am different from you guys. After all, I am Mrs. Lawrence now."

Seeing Amelia so angry that her face turned red, Alyssa felt that it was quite fun.
