CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 465

Alyssa received Emmett's reply and hung up the phone without asking any more questions.

Emmett stared at the phone that had been hung up. He looked at it for a long time before putting it down thoughtfully.

When Emmett got off work, he first went back to the villa and brought Angela to Alyssa's place.

When the father and daughter arrived, the dinner was not ready yet.

Alyssa was making a stew.

The stew was filled with fungus and emitted a strong fragrance.

As soon as Angela entered the room, she smelled the fragrance. Her small face lit face and immediately ran to the kitchen. "It smells so good!"

Her voice was soft and childish. It was a little loud but it did not sound exaggerated.

Alyssa heard her voice and walked out of the kitchen in surprise.

"Ella?" She did not expect Emmett to bring Angela along.

"Mommy!" Angela ran over and hugged Alyssa's legs. "Mommy, I miss you so much!"

Alyssa's heart softened when she heard that. She hugged Angela in her arms and said, "I also miss my Ella."

Angela smacked her lips and opened her round eyes. She looked into the kitchen and said, "What smells so good?"

Alyssa could not help laughing and carried her to the kitchen. As she walked, she said, "It is made by Mommy. It will be even more fragrant later."

There was a small stool prepared in the kitchen. It was specially prepared for Angela. Sometimes if she wanted to wash a small bowl and small plate or something, she used it to support her feet.

The moment Alyssa put her on the ground, she ran over with her short legs and carried the small stool over. She placed it in front of the gas stove and was about to stand up.

The small stool was a little close to the gas stove. Alyssa carried Angela and moved the stool a little outside before letting Angela stand up again.

She lifted the lid of the pot and let Angela smell it.

"Is it fragrant?"

"Yes, it's so fragrant!" Angela stared at the pot eagerly. Her small hands could not help but raise as if they were about to reach into the pot in the next second.

Alyssa hurriedly put the pot lid back and carried Angela down again.

At this time, she finally realized and asked Angela, "Where is Empett?"

"Empett. . ." Angela probably thought it was fun for Alyssa to call Empett like she did. She said it and laughed out loud.

Alyssa touched her head and walked out.

She was so focused on coaxing Angela just now that she almost forgot that there was still Emmett.

She went out of the kitchen and saw Emmett sitting on the sofa. He leaned slightly and reached out his hand to pick up a cup from the tea table in front of the sofa. He held the kettle and poured himself some water.

Alyssa had the habit of putting a kettle and a cup on the coffee table.

Emmett poured himself some water and took a sip before putting it back. He frowned slightly and looked cold.

It was normal for normal people to pour themselves a cup of water.

However, this normal thing added a trace of smoke and fire aura to Emmett, making him even more down-to-earth.

"Empett!"

Angela ran out from behind Alyssa and ran towards Emmett.

She curiously took a cup from the tray on the tea table and handed it to Emmett. She blinked and said,

"I want water too."

Emmett looked at her. He pursed his lips and went to get the kettle without any expression.

Angela picked up the cup unsteadily. Emmett reached out to help her. "Get the cup straight."

"Okay." Angela corrected the way she held the cup, but it was still a little crooked.

Emmett had already gradually accepted Angela and also accepted her immaturity in daily life, so he did not correct her anymore.

He poured half a cup of water for Angela and put the kettle back, "Drink it."

He said it was half a cup but it was only a quarter of a glass.

Angela pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "It's too little. It's just a little bit."

Emmett did not even blink his eyes. He only said one word lightly, "Drink."

Angela was instantly intimidated. She carefully held the cup to her mouth.

When she drank, she did not forget to sneak a glance at Emmett.

When she sneaked a glance at Emmett, Emmett was also looking at her. She immediately shook and hurriedly drank all the water in the cup.

After she finished drinking, she even raised the cup to Emmett with a face full of pride. "Daddy, I

finished drinking."

"Alright, I'll reward you with another cup of water." Emmett said and went to get the kettle. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Angela stared at him, turned around and ran away. "I don't want water."

Emmett saw the child run away and retracted his hand. He turned his head to look at her mother who had been looking at him for who knew how long.

Alyssa saw Emmett looking at her and smiled at him. "Wait, the meal will ready in a short while."

Emmett sneered.

When he came in, Alyssa only had Angela in her eyes. How could she look directly at him?

Alyssa actually did not quite understand what was going on with Emmett's sudden sneer.

But Angela was also here today. She still had to prepare the meal first.

While eating, Angela went to the kitchen to get her bowl.

What surprised Alyssa was that after Angela went to get her bowl in front of her, Emmett also went in to get the bowl.

Today, the great Young Master Lawrence was at her place. He not only poured himself water but also took the bowl himself.

As soon as this thought reached her mind, Alyssa felt a little guilty.

She had completely put the Emmett who used to help her wash the dishes to the side.

During the meal, other than Angela chattering non-stop, Emmett and Alyssa did not speak much.

It was just that when they finished their meal, it suddenly started to rain.

The rain was still a little heavy. It splashed on the glass window, making a very loud sound.

Angela leaned against the window and touched the water through the glass. She turned to Emmett and said, "It's raining."

Emmett did not say anything.

Angela raised her voice and said, "Empett, it's raining!"

Emmett's tone was less cold and more helpless. "I heard you."

Why did children always have so much to say?

Angela got Emmett's response and ran to the kitchen in satisfaction.

Emmett looked at her bouncing figure and raised his eyebrows.

This child's mind was really strange. She was so happy about such a small thing.

Alyssa cleaned up the kitchen and came out. She saw Emmett standing by the window looking at the rain.

She looked at the pouring rain outside the window and subconsciously said, "It's raining heavily. It's late. You guys can stay here for a night."

She did not speak in a negotiable tone, but in a very natural tone of concern.

Emmett turned to look at her and Alyssa also realized that her words made people misunderstand. She bit her lips and said, "I have a lot of rooms here. Otherwise, I can sleep with Angela and the master bedroom is for you to sleep in."

Emmett retracted his gaze and said coldly, "No need."
