CEO's Substitute Bride
Chapter 17
Alyssa was surprised. It took her a long time to resister what was happening. She looked at the bodyguard for some minutes, wondering if she was dreaming.
So did Emmett finally want to see her?
A part of her was happy because she was finally going to see her husband. But the part of her felt an indescribable uneasiness.
It was rumored that Emmett was extremely fickle and cold. If she met him, could she be able to control him? Or could she be able to live a normal life with him?
Lots of questions were wondering in her head, as she knocked on the door of the study.
She stepped into the study and before she could observe the situation inside, she heard a voice of a man.
“Frank, who is it?”
The voice was very hoarse just like a desert which had gone years without water. It was quite terrifying.
As the voice fade, a suited man standing beside the table stared at her and said, “Master, it’s Madame, your wife.”
It was only then Alyssa observed the situation inside the room. The room was black and white, low key but luxurious. There was nothing too special in but one couldn’t avoid its charm.
And on the chair behind the big desk, a strong man was sitting with his back to her.
She could see the man’s head protruding from the chair and his arms resting on the armrest. But no matter how much she tried, she could not take a glance on the man’s face.
But she could see, it was a large man.
It was Emmett Lawrence!
Frank looked at her quietly, “Young Madam.”
“You are Frank?” She just heard Emmett call him with this name.
He simply nodded, without any words.
It seemed he wasn’t talkative.
There was a dead silence in the room. She couldn’t see Emmett but she could feel that cold aura emitting from his body. It was enough to make her scared. She couldn’t help but lower her head.
At this time, Emmett finally spoke.
At this time, Emmett finally spoke.
“Have you seen George?”
Alyssa was stunned for a moment and then realized that he was talking to her.
Although she had already guessed that Emmett and George didn’t have a good relationship. Yet she still didn’t expect that Emmett called his father directly by him name. Shouldn’t he at least respect their relationship?
It seemed like she had underestimated Emmett’s anger and resentment.
“Yes.” Alyssa did not know why Emmett asked this question, but she could feel that he had no intention of showing her his real face.
“What did he say?”
“We chatted casually and talked about you…” Alyssa paused and said carefully, “He cares about you very much.”
Although she felt that George has his own intentions to ask her out for dinner, but she could vaguely say that he cared about Emmett very much.
She was a little envious that he could have a father who loved him unlike her father who didn’t even want to look at her face.
After hearing her words, Emmett just sneered. “I heard from Justin that you two got along well?”
As soon as Alyssa heard the word ‘Justin’, she froze and her entire body stiffened. The last thing she wanted in this world was to make Emmett think Justin and she was related. She quickly shook her head and said, “We just met at the villa.”
But Emmett with his back to her couldn’t see her shaking her head, so Alyssa added, “We’re not familiar with each other.”
Alyssa didn’t know why she deliberately hid the fact that “Justin” spent one night in her rental house because of his injury. Although nothing had happened, she couldn’t explain it to Emmett. So it was better not to say it.
