The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Sophia had a knack for bouncing back, especially when Emily was around. She'd never let herself be defeated.

Clinging to Dean's arm, she introduced herself with a fake sense of closeness.

"Do you think we just know each other? You heard her, right? Emily Brown! We even share the same last name! Just like you and your brother, both named Lancaster! Now you get it, we are..."

Same last name?

As Sophia spoke slowly, Archibald glanced at Emily, noticing her displeased expression and cold silence. He suddenly understood and cut Sophia off before she could continue.

"Dean, come home tonight."

Hearing this, Dean felt a headache coming on.

He hadn't finished listening to Sophia and started complaining irritably. "Why do you always want me to go home? There's no one there, no parents. Besides, you're having dinner with a married woman, and you keep telling me to go home. Who's going to cook for me?"

Archibald, worried that Dean's foolish words might hurt Emily, quickly stepped forward and grabbed Dean.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Emily is my business partner, my friend! She's a single mom... never mind, come with me!"

Before leaving, Archibald made sure Dean apologized to Emily properly.

Dean muttered a "sorry," and Emily, out of politeness, replied, "It's okay."

But in reality, she had no intention of forgiving these reckless people.

Even if Archibald explained everything to Dean today, what difference would it make?

Emily could see that Dean and Sophia had an unusual relationship.

After today, those two would still be together.

Sophia would undoubtedly use her excellent language skills to frame and slander Emily, painting her as a despicable woman.noveldrama

Watching Dean being taken away, Sophia, left with no support, had no choice but to stand aside obediently.

Even then, she didn't forget to shoot Emily two hostile glances.

Once upon a time, they were like this, each standing beside a man, fighting tooth and nail.

"Emily, you're really something. As soon as you left Michael, you found another rich guy! Are you in a hurry to find a bedmate or a father for the child in your belly?

"I guess it's both. You can't stand loneliness and can't live a poor life. I really underestimated your fighting spirit. Do you have time to teach me?"

Sophia stepped forward, trying to create an invisible pressure on Emily. "Teach me how you seduce men... even with a child. Is this the best prenatal education for your child?

If it's a boy, he can use your tricks to seduce rich women. If it's a girl..."

Emily had always been patient.

But she couldn't tolerate Sophia insulting her child.

Seeing Sophia's endless stream of filth, Emily swung her arm and slapped her.

Sophia glared at her with a cold, vengeful look, seemingly ready to retaliate.

Emily immediately responded, unafraid. "Go ahead, hit me. Show everyone how you beat a pregnant woman, shamelessly! If you dare hit me, I'll lie down and play dead. I'll make sure to settle the old scores with you. Let's see how Dean and Michael view you then!"

Mentioning Dean was one thing, but bringing up Michael made Sophia look at Emily's belly.

Yes, the child in her belly was most likely Michael's, though she didn't want to admit it.

But Sophia couldn't understand why Emily, who never spent time with Michael, could easily get pregnant with his child!

While she, who spent every night with Michael for three years, had no such luck!

Damn it!

Emily continued, "Your words are filthy. And they should be kept to yourself.

"I don't care how you hooked up with Dean, but I'm sure Dean would love to know about your past... even if he doesn't, his brother would, right?

"If they knew, could you still stay by his side? Sophia, when will you see yourself clearly? Because of your past with Michael, you're already disgraced in Emerald City. I could easily dig up something to make you leave Emerald City, even the country!" Sophia never imagined that Emily would be so formidable when they met again. Emily was no longer the woman who could be easily bullied without a temper. Sophia was in disbelief, seething with anger. She wanted to slap Emily but couldn't. Enduring the burning pain on her cheek, she had to maintain a sincere smile in front of Dean and Archibald.

"Archibald, we're leaving."

Archibald returned after talking to Dean, who looked listless and indifferent towards Sophia.

Before leaving, Dean respectfully said goodbye to Emily.

Sophia watched, feeling even more infuriated.

Watching Sophia and Dean's departing figures, Emily couldn't let go of her feelings.

Despite her strong words and seemingly higher status today, only Emily knew the truth.

Over the years, she had suffered countless losses to Sophia. Every time she saw Sophia, she was reminded of her painful past, feeling sorry for herself, her mother, and her unborn child.

They all had to endure this silently with her.

Archibald, skilled at reading people, noticed Emily's discomfort and suggested they leave the restaurant.

Emily agreed readily.

Back in the car, the atmosphere grew tense.

Emily, by nature, wouldn't ask Archibald what he said to Dean, but fortunately,

Archibald was a man who spoke his mind. He trusted Emily and wouldn't hide anything from her.

"Emily, are you okay?" Archibald suddenly asked.

Emily calmed down and replied as if nothing had happened, "I'm fine, why?"

Archibald smiled.

Emily was never one to lie. Her emotions were always written on her face.
