CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 289

Alyssa pursed her lips and took a deep breath, "Let's separate for the time being."

Emmett narrowed his eyes slightly. There was danger in his eyes. "What do you mean?"

Compared to Emmett, Alyssa seemed much calmer. "We are not a legal husband and wife now. There is no need for us to live together. We will talk when we find the child."

During this period of time, she had been exhausted.

Emmett had spent a month but didn’t find any news of the child.

What else could she do besides endless waiting and torturing here?

She did not have the energy to deal with the matter between her and Emmett until the child was found.

Emmett was very stubborn. "We can become legal husband and wife at any time."

However, Alyssa also did not compromise on this matter. "Either you let me go, or you are just like before, looking at me with the bodyguards on the third floor."

She was a mother who could not even protect her own child.

Every time something happened, she would be in a completely passive state.

She didn't want to be like this anymore.

Her words seemed to have angered Emmett.

His expression became unusually gloomy in an instant. And Alyssa's heart sank slightly.

Would Emmett really let her go?

However, at this moment, Emmett said, "Okay."

Alyssa was a little surprised. She did not think that Emmett would really agree.

But very quickly, his last sentence made Alyssa's heart sink again.

Emmett added, "But I have a condition."

"What condition?" Alyssa looked at him warily. She had a bad feeling about this matter.

A smile flashed across Emmett's eyes. He opened his thin lips and said word by word, "Let's go and get the marriage certificates."

Alyssa widened her eyes. "What?"

She almost suspected that she had misheard him.

Was it because she did not understand enough, or was there something wrong with his ability to understand?

Alyssa did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Say it again."

Of course Emmett did not say it again. Instead, he said, "If we are not married, how can we register our baby’s residence?"

Alyssa was stunned.

She had never thought that she would use this reason to get a marriage certificate with Emmett.

On the day the two of them got their marriage certificate, they went to register the child.

There was a family of three in the household register.

Owner of the household: Emmett Lawrence.

Wife: Alyssa Moore.

Their daughter: Angela Lawrence.

When Emmett saw that she was staring at the household register absent mindedly, he said, "The child's name is something I thought of long ago. I thought two names a boy’s name and a girl’s name. It must be suitable for our daughter.”

Alyssa reached out her hand and gently touched the word "Angela.”

The daughter she had only met once was called Angela.

As if she had thought of something, she suddenly raised her head to look at Emmett.

She realized that Emmett was just like her, staring at the two words "Angela Lawrence" on the household register.

Alyssa said, "When she was born, she was very beautiful, just like you."

She had seen Angela before, even though she only had one glance at her.

However, Emmett had rushed all the way but did not see her at all.

Emmett was cold, but not cold-blooded.

When the child disappeared, he should also feel uncomfortable.

Emmett heard her and raised his head to look up at her. After a long while, he nodded slightly and said. "Yes."

Alyssa moved out on the same day.

The house she rented was a little far from Emmett's high-end residential area.

However, it was clean and the environment was good.

In the evening, she and Hazel met to have a dinner together.

Alyssa thought about it and felt that Hazel would know about this sooner or later, so she told her.

"The child is missing?" After Hazel heard her words, her reaction was as intense as Alyssa imagined, "Fuck, are these people crazy? They are worse than beasts. Why did they steal such a small child? Do they have any humanity?"

Alyssa lowered her head and did not speak.

The incident with Emmett's mother and what happened to Winston later were enough to prove that they had no humanity.

Hazel was so angry that she almost cried. Alyssa reached out and poured a cup of water for her. "I believe that she is blessed by the heavens. We will find her."

Although Hazel was not comforted, she knew that Alyssa's heart must be more uncomfortable than hers.

After all, Alyssa was one who carried the child for ten months in her womb and gave birth to her. She didn’t even get the chance to hold her child in her arms. Alyssa must be very helpless and sad when this happened.

Hazel drank all the water in the cup and asked, "What do you plan to do now?"

"I am temporarily separated from Emmett. I will continue to find my daughter and my life will also be continued." She wanted to find the child more than anyone else, but in reality, even Emmett could not do anything about it.

She was not a flower in a greenhouse. She had tasted bitterness and hardship and suffered a lot, since she was young, so nothing could defeat her.

Hazel did not know what to say for a moment, so she changed the topic. "En, did the script you signed with Amelia start filming?"

"It is still in the final preparation period. It should be starting soon." Alyssa herself was not very clear because after she revised the script for the last time, she did not contact Amelia.

Hazel reminded her, "Then you can contact her. When the time comes, you can go to the scene to take a look. Maybe you need to give them some guidance or something."

Alyssa nodded warmly.

She really needed something to do now.

But what surprised Alyssa was that before she contacted Amelia, Amelia had already taken the initiative to look for her.

The next day, she received a call from Amelia.

Amelia did not hold back at all when she spoke. "I heard you went back to Holston City. And you didn't look for me when you came back. Did you pretend you didn't know me when you got the money?"

Alyssa had the rare thought of joking with her, "Since you know, why did you call me?"

Amelia was so angry that she laughed. "Alyssa, you are very arrogant."

Alyssa restrained her smile and said seriously, "I dare not. How about I will treat you to coffee tomorrow?"

"Okay." Amelia agreed very quickly.

The two of them arranged to meet at a remote cafe.

It was not easy to find a place. When Amelia arrived, she said unhappily, "You found such a damn place. I searched for half an hour and kept circling around the place!"

"At most, I'll buy you another cup of coffee." Alyssa said and called the waiter over.

Amelia really ordered two cups of coffee.

Alyssa was a bit speechless. Sometimes this big miss was really a bit childish.

Amelia added sugar into the coffee as she said, "You came back just in time. The day after tomorrow, the filming of the Lost City will begin. At that time, you should also go to the opening ceremony."

Alyssa nodded, "Yes."

It was her first script to be officially filmed, so of course she would go.

Amelia saw that her answer was so direct, so she was a little surprised. "You used to be a hot topic. When the time comes, you might be attacked by the media. You have to be mentally prepared."

Alyssa said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Isn't that just right? I can create a topic for Lost City and preheat it in advance. Maybe this movie will be popular before it is aired."

"No!" Amelia glared at her, "It is gold that will shine sooner or later. Who cares about using this method to create a topic?"
