CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 293

After Alyssa finished speaking, the room fell into a dead silence.

The two of them stood facing each other. Their eyes met and neither of them was willing to take a step back.

After a while, Emmett sighed slightly. There was a rare trace of tiredness in his tone. "They have some misgivings about me. I cannot let you risk yourself."

All these years, he had no clue about his mother's case. Even if there came some clues, he couldn’t trace them anymore.

He had also thought that perhaps he was overthinking things.

Perhaps the kidnapping case of him and his mother was just an accident.

However, what happened to Winston changed his mind.

Before Winston got into trouble, he looked for Emmett and said that he would tell Emmett everything he wanted to know after the New Year passed peacefully.

However, Winston did not manage to live through the New Year peacefully.

On the morning of the first day of the New Year, he fell down the stairs. When he woke up, he had already lost his mind.

After that, Alyssa was framed as the murderer of Winston.

All of this was a warning from some people in the Lawrence family.

Some people in the Lawrence family did not want Emmett to know the truth behind his mother's case. They kept threatening him with the people around him.

Alyssa shook her head and said, "Even if I don't risk my life, can I stay out of it?"

After she finished, she added another sentence. "You know better than me what happened to Grandfather. Even if I don't do anything, they will still not let me go. I just don't understand why they are putting in so much effort to deal with you."

Alyssa had also sorted out these things over the past few days.

After the accident of Winston, she once suspected George and Frances.

On New Year's Eve, she had seen George and Frances sneaking into a room. Then Winston fell down the stairs, and she was framed as the murder.

All these things seemed to be well-planned.

She never knew why they did it, nor did she know what Emmett was hiding from her. It was only when Angela disappeared that Alyssa suddenly understood something.

While threatening Emmett, they also wanted to hold him back.

They wanted Emmett to be obedient.

After Alyssa finished speaking, she kept looking up at Emmett. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She thought that it would be good if Emmett told her the truth.

Emmett just changed the topic. "I'm hungry."

"Go and eat if you're hungry." After Alyssa finished speaking, she turned to the side, indicating that he could go.

Emmett did not leave. Instead, he sat down on the big sofa and said, "I don't know how to cook."

Alyssa was not soft-hearted at all. "Then go to the restaurant to eat."

The expression on Emmett’s face was the same as usual. His tone was both serious and shameless. "The food in the restaurant is not good."

Alyssa walked up to him and narrowed her eyes. "You have made up your mind to stay with me, haven’t you?"

Emmett leaned back and said calmly, "We have received our marriage certificates."

If she hadn’t wanted to make Angela a registered resident, she would not have rushed to get a marriage certificate with Emmett.

She just felt that if Angela's name was written on the household register, there would be a trace of reliance.

Even if they had only met once, she wanted Angela to know that her parents loved her.

In the end, Alyssa could not make up her mind to drive Emmett away. She glared at Emmett and said, "Wait here."

Then, she turned around and went to the kitchen.

After sending Alyssa into the kitchen, Emmett started to size up the house Alyssa rented.

It was made up of a simple bedroom and a living room. It was not big, but it was very clean. The furniture was not much. It looked a little more deserted than his apartment, but it was filled with Alyssa's aura.

Emmett squinted his eyes. He leaned on the sofa and fell asleep without realizing it.

When Alyssa finished cooking, she found that Emmett was already asleep.

She hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to push Emmett. "It's time to eat."

Emmett opened his eyes. He had just woken up and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, which proved that he was not very awake at the moment.

Alyssa saw him open his eyes and was about to withdraw his hand when she did not expect Emmett to suddenly reach out and grab her.

Not only that, after he grabbed her, he pulled her into his arms directly.

Alyssa was standing. Being pulled by him like this, her center of gravity became unstable and she fell directly into his embrace.

The man's chest was strong and hard. The moment her body and his chest touched, it hurt a little.

Alyssa's face was covered with a layer of anger and she shouted. "Emmett!"

Emmett did not seem to hear her. His other arm quickly wrapped around Alyssa's waist and held her tightly in his arms.

Emmett buried his head in Alyssa's neck and took a deep breath. His voice was a little hoarse. "When I was alone in the apartment, every time I fell asleep I would dream about you. Every time I thought I held you in my arms, it was just a pile of air. When I woke up, there was not even a trace of your breath in the air. How could you be so cruel and burn the villa clean?"

If the villa was still there, he would at least be able to find a trace of a familiar aura in the villa.

Alyssa did not expect him to suddenly say this and her entire body froze.

Alyssa struggled for a bit and found that she could not move at all.

She felt that Emmett might be a powerful person.

Thinking about the burning of the villa, she felt angry.

"Am I cruel? If I were cruel, I wouldn't have helped you take out that pen. If I had known earlier, I would have burned that pen along with the villa!"

"But you didn't." Emmett's tone suddenly changed. "You can’t bear to part with it."

Alyssa was stunned. She did not want to continue this topic with him. "Let me go! Otherwise, you will not be able to set a foot in my house again in the future."

Her threat seemed to have some effect.

Emmett's arms around her waist loosened. Alyssa wanted to take the opportunity to get up, but unexpectedly Emmett pressed down on her head and kissed her.

Alyssa had been gone for a long time.

When she was in Sydney a month ago and Angela was missing. Alyssa had always been in a bad mood. Other than thinking of ways to get someone to take care of her and make her happy, he did not have any other romantic thoughts.

Emmett's kiss was the same as his, evil and overbearing.

He used so much strength, as if he wanted to swallow Alyssa, and aggressively wanted to occupy her everything.

Men had unique talent in this aspect. Alyssa's hands were held by one of his hands. His other hand was holding the back of her neck. He firmly controlled her and did not allow her to escape.

By the time Alyssa regained some consciousness, her position had already changed with Emmett. Her entire body was thrown onto the sofa in an untidy manner.
