CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 329

Hearing this, Dylan asked, "Do you have his phone number?"

Alyssa paused and said, "Yes."

She did not contact Justin much since she came back to Holston City. Occasionally, Justin would send her a WeChat message. But the two of them would simply greet each other.

After she knew what had happened to Richard, she was worried about Justin. But she could not go and meet with Justin directly.

After all, she was not ”Emmett's wife” now. How could she possibly know that Richard had died in a car accident?

If she had taken the initiative to approach Justin people from the Lawrence Family would definitely suspect her.

But now that Dylan had taken the initiative to come to find her, he had given her a good reason to look for Justin.

Dylan nodded slightly. His tone was filled with gratitude. "Sorry to trouble you."

"If I knew Justin had such a big problem, I wouldn't need you to tell me. I would look for him myself." Alyssa’s tone was cold and distant.

Dylan seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed slightly, but in the end, he just smiled faintly.

Dylan didn’t stay any longer and left after thanking Alyssa. Seeing Dylan’s car left the community, Alyssa called Emmett.

Emmett was about to have a meeting when he found Alyssa calling him. He got up and went out with his phone.

Emmett walked outside the meeting room and asked her in a low voice. "What's wrong?"

"Dylan came to see me just now."

"Why did he come to find you?" Emmett frowned slightly and his tone became cold. Clearly, he was also on guard against Dylan just like Alyssa.

"He told me about your uncle’s accident and asked me to have some time to chat with Chen." Alyssa told EMMETT what Dylan said to her.

Emmett was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "Are you willing?"

"Of course I am." Alyssa paused and said, "Actually, I think Justin likes you very much. If you have time, you can go and comfort him."

Although she and Justin had known each other for a while and had a certainly good relationship, she felt that at the bottom of Justin’s heart, Emmett would still be most special.

Emmett's tone became a little more indifferent as he said. "I don't have time. You can go and look for

him. I'm going to have a meeting soon, so I’m going to hang up.”

“Alright.”

Alyssa hung up the phone. She held the phone and was lost in thought. Emmett couldn't be blaming himself, could he?

At that time, Richard went to Emmett's appointment. It was on the road at the entrance of the coffee shop where they had agreed to go that the accident suddenly happened. Richard died on the spot.

It sounded a little unbelievable, but it was the truth.

Judging from Emmett's attitude, it could be seen that Emmett did not believe that the car accident was really an accident.

Forget it. She could not figure it out anyway, so she would not think about it for now.

That night, Alyssa sent Justin a WeChat message.

"Nick, what are you doing?"

After a few minutes, Justin replied, "I'm doing my homework."

Alyssa looked at the calendar and realized that it was September in a few days. Justin and the others were about to start school soon. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Is there still a lot that you haven't done yet? Do you have time to have breakfast with me tomorrow?"

"Yes."

Alyssa looked at Justin's "yes" and felt a little helpless.

This child usually used to chat with her on WeChat like a chatterbox. He had been talking non-stop, and now he was about to become as thrifty as Emmett. He would not speak a needless word.

Then, Alyssa sent when and where they were going to meet to Justin.

The next day, Alyssa arrived at the restaurant she had booked in advance.

She had come to this restaurant with Justin before. And Justin liked the food here very much.

Justin was very punctual. Alyssa had just arrived when he arrived.

Justin did not look well. His face was pale and bloodless. Almost half of his eyes were covered by his natural curly hair. He looked like a gloomy young man.

He carried a bag on his back and wore a white short-sleeved shirt and gray knee-high pants. He looked very skinny.

Standing at the door, he looked around and saw Alyssa sitting by the window.

"Alyssa." Justin greeted her and sat opposite to Alyssa.

He took off his backpack and put it aside. He looked up at Alyssa.

But because his curly hair was too long, Alyssa could not see his eyes clearly. She only felt that he was listless now, like a depressed puppy with its head drooping. He looked pitiful and painful at the same time.

Alyssa had not seen him for a while.

She smiled at Justin and asked, "You are very punctual, but you really need a haircut.”

"I've been busy with my homework for the past two days. I'm going to cut it a few days. Maybe the day before the school starts." Justin touched his hair and said in embarrassment.

Looking at him like this, Alyssa made an offer tentatively, "Why don’t we go to the barber’s shop later together?”

Justin was still willing to listen Alyssa's words and nodded obediently, "Yes."

"Come on, let’s order first. I am hungry." Alyssa pushed the menu in front of him, as she spoke.

Justin ordered two dishes and Alyssa ordered the rest.

However, Justin did not eat much. In the past, his appetite was so big, but now he did not eat more than half of Alyssa’s.

Alyssa saw it and felt painful in her heart.

Alyssa picked some food for him and asked him, "Do you want to eat more?"

"I don't want to eat anymore." Justin just shook his head.

"Okay, then we won't eat anymore. Let's go and find a barber shop to cut your hair." Alyssa called a waiter and paid the bill. She then planned to bring Justin to get a haircut.

As soon as the two of them left the restaurant, they were stopped by a group of bodyguards.

The bodyguards’ eyes fell on Justin. One of them went forward and called out to Justin, "Mr. Justin."

Alyssa turned to look at Justin.

Justin frowned and said in a rare cold tone, "Why are you following me? It's not like I'm going to die! I'll go back by myself later."

There was no expression on his face when he said that. His cold aura was somewhat similar to that of Emmett’s.

When Alyssa heard him say this, she could not help but turn her head to look at him.

She naturally knew that these people were probably sent by Lawrence family to protect Justin.

The bodyguards did not say anything in reply.

Justin turned to look at Alyssa and said. "Alyssa, let's go."

The two of them walked forward and the bodyguards in front of them stepped aside.

Alyssa was a little surprised that these bodyguards would make way for them, but when she raised her head and looked forward, she saw Frances walking towards them.

Frances was in a hurry. She only had Justin in her eyes and did not pay attention to Alyssa at all.

"Justin, how can you go out alone? You don't know how worried Mom is about you." Frances walked over and looked at him carefully, as if she wanted to see if he was hurt.

"My legs and arms are healthy and my brain is normal. I am already 15 years old. In some countries, I can already be considered an adult. Why can't I go out alone?"

Eva Alyssa could tell that Justin's tone was very aggressive, let alone Frances, who was his biological mother.

Frances's originally pale face instantly turned even paler. "I am just worried about you."

"I'm fine. I don't need you to worry. You can go back now." Justin turned to look at Alyssa after he finished speaking.
