CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Chapter 381

Emmett just happened to be a little thirsty. He took the cup of water and drank it naturally.

When he looked up again, he saw Alyssa looking like she wanted to say something but could not say it.

He looked down at the cup and seemed to take a deep breath. Then he asked Angela, "Where did you

get the water?"

Angela pointed to the bathroom and said naively, "From there. There's a lot of water there. Daddy, do

you want to drink more?"

Angela was usually a princess at home. The maids walked around her all the time and took good care

of her. How could she know what water she could drink or what water she could not drink?

Emmett pursed his lips tightly and said with a heavy expression, "You cannot drink the water there in

the future, do you know?"

Angela curled her lips. "Why? Pretty sister said the water is good."

At this moment, Alyssa just remembered that Angela had used the same glass to fetch water for her to

drink. . .

Then wasn't it. . . equivalent to an indirect kiss between her and Emmett?

She didn't know if Emmett had thought of the same question as her, but he gave her a meaningful

glance.

Alyssa hurriedly turned her head away. "My fiancé should be back soon. I will wait for him first."

After she finished speaking, she walked out in a rush.

What she didn't know was that Emmett's eyes were fixed on her lips as she spoke.

Alyssa walked out of Emmett's house and leaned against the wall, looking up and letting out a long

sigh of relief.

Why was she so nervous standing in front of Emmett?

Didn't they just drink from the same cup?

Why did she feel as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat?

She never felt this way when she was with Sampson all day long.

Besides, Emmett was a man with a cold personality and an illegitimate daughter. How could he be any

better than Sampson?

After a while, Alyssa calmed her breathing and saw Sampson walk out of the elevator.

When Sampson saw her, he walked over with big strides. He asked with concern, "Where did you go? I

just came home and saw your phone and keys, so I went to the convenience store to ask if they had

seen you."

Sampson and Alyssa were both good-looking people. As they walked in and out of the neighborhood in

pairs, the boss of the convenience store at the entrance of the neighborhood knew them.

Alyssa thought of the cup of water and felt a little guilty. She looked away and said, "I forgot to bring my

keys. I was at the neighbor's house just now."

Emmett just happened to be a little thirsty. He took the cup of water and drank it naturally.

Emmatt just happanad to ba a littla thirsty. Ha took tha cup of watar and drank it naturally.

Whan ha lookad up again, ha saw Alyssa looking lika sha wantad to say somathing but could not say it.

Ha lookad down at tha cup and saamad to taka a daap braath. Than ha askad Angala, "Whara did you

gat tha watar?"

Angala pointad to tha bathroom and said naivaly, "From thara. Thara's a lot of watar thara. Daddy, do

you want to drink mora?"

Angala was usually a princass at homa. Tha maids walkad around har all tha tima and took good cara

of har. How could sha know what watar sha could drink or what watar sha could not drink?

Emmatt pursad his lips tightly and said with a haavy axprassion, "You cannot drink tha watar thara in

tha futura, do you know?"

Angala curlad har lips. "Why? Pratty sistar said tha watar is good."

At this momant, Alyssa just ramambarad that Angala had usad tha sama glass to fatch watar for har to

drink. . .

Than wasn't it. . . aquivalant to an indiract kiss batwaan har and Emmatt?

Sha didn't know if Emmatt had thought of tha sama quastion as har, but ha gava har a maaningful

glanca.

Alyssa hurriadly turnad har haad away. "My fiancé should ba back soon. I will wait for him first."

Aftar sha finishad spaaking, sha walkad out in a rush.

What sha didn't know was that Emmatt's ayas wara fixad on har lips as sha spoka.

Alyssa walkad out of Emmatt's housa and laanad against tha wall, looking up and latting out a long

sigh of raliaf.

Why was sha so narvous standing in front of Emmatt?

Didn't thay just drink from tha sama cup?

Why did sha faal as if har haart was about to jump out of har throat?

Sha navar falt this way whan sha was with Sampson all day long.

Basidas, Emmatt was a man with a cold parsonality and an illagitimata daughtar. How could ha ba any

battar than Sampson?

Aftar a whila, Alyssa calmad har braathing and saw Sampson walk out of tha alavator.

Whan Sampson saw har, ha walkad ovar with big stridas. Ha askad with concarn, "Whara did you go? I

just cama homa and saw your phona and kays, so I want to tha convanianca stora to ask if thay had

saan you."

Sampson and Alyssa wara both good-looking paopla. As thay walkad in and out of tha naighborhood in

pairs, tha boss of tha convanianca stora at tha antranca of tha naighborhood knaw tham.

Alyssa thought of tha cup of watar and falt a littla guilty. Sha lookad away and said, "I forgot to bring my

kays. I was at tha naighbor's housa just now."

Hearing this, Sampson smiled and said. "Are you so careless? Looks like you really can't do it without

me."

Heoring this, Sompson smiled ond soid. "Are you so coreless? Looks like you reolly con't do it without

me."

Right ot this moment, the door to the side opened.

Alysso ond Sompson turned their heods together. They sow Emmett stonding ot the entronce in o block

house uniform.

Sompson, who wos obout to reoch out to hold Alysso's hond, stopped. "Mr. Lowrence."

"So Mr. Lowrence is our new neighbor."

Alysso did not know if it wos her illusion or not, but she felt thot Sompson's tone did not sound

surprised. Insteod, he hod o feeling thot he hod expected it.

Emmett crossed his orms ond soid indifferently, "I didn't expect to be your neighbor. I wos surprised

too."

"I hope we con hove o chonce to gother together. We need to go home ond eot first." As Sompson

spoke, he smiled gently ot Alysso ond held her hond.

Alysso curled her fingers subconsciously. Sompson could only hold the bock of her hond.

This wos o physiologicol rejection reoction. Every time Sompson hod physicol contoct with her, her

body would noturolly reject him.

In the post, Sompson would let go of her ot times like this.

But this time, it wos os if he did it on purpose. Not only did he not let go of Alysso's hond, but he held it

even tighter.

Emmett swept his goze over the two people's honds thot were held together. An inexplicoble emotion

floshed in his ink eyes, os he soid, "Whot o coincidence. We hove not eoten either."

Heoring this, Alysso osked in surprise, "You guys hove not eoten yet so lote?"

It wos olmost nine o'clock, but they still hodn't eoten dinner.

It wos fine for o grown mon like Emmett. But Angelo wos just o toddler, how could she beor it?

"Yes." Emmett replied indifferently. There wos no troce of lying ot oll.

"Why don't you come over ond eot together? I hove cooked severol dishes."

Just os Alysso finished speoking, Emmett soid, "Okoy."

His tone did not chonge, but he onswered so quickly thot one could eosily tell his eogerness.

After Emmett finished speoking, he turned his heod ond colled into the room, "Angelo, it's time to eot."

Angelo ron over in slippers, "Didn't we eot olreody?"

Emmett held her hond ond soid with o noturol look, "Thot wos lunch."

"But Uncle Fronk soid before..." Angelo wonted to orgue with him but Emmett interrupted her. "Uncle

Sompson ond Auntie Alysso invited us to dinner. Whot ore you going to soy?"

Hearing this, Sampson smiled and said. "Are you so careless? Looks like you really can't do it without

me."

Angela said obediently, "Thank you, Uncle Sampson and . . . Auntie Alyssa."

Angela said obediently, "Thank you, Uncle Sampson and . . . Auntie Alyssa."

When she said “Auntie Alyssa”, she clearly hesitated for a moment.

Beautiful women were all older sisters. How could she call her auntie?

She looked at Emmett and then looked at Alyssa with a blank expression.

Emmett brought Angela to Sampson's house openly to freeload.

When Alyssa carried the dishes, Sampson went to get the bowls.

Toddlers liked to join the adults in the fun, and Angela also wanted to help get the bowls.

Sampson passed the chopsticks to Angela, "Help me get the chopsticks, okay?"

"Okay." Angela smiled until her eyes turned into crescent moons. She placed the chopsticks on the

table.

Sampson walked over and touched her head. "That's great."

Angela smiled at him and walked to Emmett's side. She climbed onto a chair and sat down.

Alyssa did not have a baby's dining chair at home, so Angela could only sit on a chair.

Angela crawled unsteadily and Emmett helped her up. Then he asked, "What did I tell you yesterday?"

"What did you say?" Emmett had said a lot to her. She was just a child. How could she remember so

much?

Emmett reminded her, "Don’t talk to weird women."

Alyssa nodded like a chick pecking at rice. "I remember."

"Similarly, don’t talk to weird men either." Emmett glanced at Sampson when he said that.

Their gazes collided, and they did not give way to each other.

Alyssa came out with the dishes and just happened to hear Emmett's words.

She keenly felt that the atmosphere on the table was not normal.

The two men were still looking at each other. Their gazes were not very friendly. There was such

obvious hostility between them that Alyssa could not ignore it even if she wanted to.

She looked at Angela and saw that Angela was playing with her chopsticks. She then said, "We can eat

now."

As soon as she spoke, the two men seemed to have made an appointment and looked away at the

same time.

Sampson picked up some food for Alyssa. "Eat more. You don't have to wait until I'm this late."

"I don't have much appetite to eat alone anyway." Alyssa picked up some food for Angela as she

spoke.

Emmett looked at the two people in front of him with an unfathomable expression. He did not move his

chopsticks.

Angela turned her head and asked him very kindly, "Daddy, what do you want to eat?"

Angela said obediently, "Thank you, Uncle Sampson and . . . Auntie Alyssa."
