CEO's Substitute Bride

"About the police station?" Alyssa continued to struggle with the bones in the bowl and said without looking up, "Someone wanted to harm Hazel and took her clothes. They wanted to take pictures of her naked."

"You know I am not asking about this." Emmett coldly interrupted her. There was coldness in the surroundings. He was angry.

Alyssa suddenly lost interest in eating. She wiped her hands and stood up. "I'm full."

Why didn't he ask her last night when he went out after slamming the door?

Now he came to question her?

Emmett obviously didn't intend to let her go so easily.

He stood up and took a step forward. In two or three steps, he caught up to Alyssa.

Emmett pulled her wrist and pulled her into his arms. He held her chin with his other hand and said in a deep voice, "Alyssa, look at me."

Alyssa honestly and seriously stared at his face for a few seconds. Then she nodded and said, "You are still as handsome as yesterday."

Her perfunctory tone made Emmett uncontrollably increase the strength in his hand.

Alyssa frowned and said with a smile that was not a smile, "It hurts. You not only hurt me and made me sprawl my ankle. Now you want to break my wrist and dislocate my chin?"

Emmett paused. His expression was frighteningly dark.

Alyssa was forced to raise her chin, but she did not seem flustered at all. Instead, she was arrogant like a queen and did not show any weakness as she looked at him.

However, his eyes were as dark as the night sky and seemed to be able to suck people. She could not hold on any longer.

Finally, it was she who turned her eyes away first.

"Since you're blaming me, don't pretend to be indifferent. It's very ugly." Emmett let go of her chin and covered her hair. He gently stroked her hair.

His expression was still cold and gloomy, but his actions were strangely gentle.

Emmett's control over everything made people unable to guess. It made Alyssa feel irritated.

In front of Emmett, it was very difficult for her to successfully conceal her feelings.

"I didn't pretend. I just thought it through." Alyssa still turned her head to the side and said, "Rosalie is your old friend. I feel sorry for you when such an accident happened. When you see me look like her, it is normal for you to have a good impression of me."

"If it was me, when I met someone who looks similar to Hazel outside, I would also take a few more glances. This is such a simple principle, I understand."

Yes, it was such a simple principle.

Emmett was good to her because she looked like Rosalie. It was human nature.

She really understood, but why was she still sad?

"Very good."

Emmett let go of her and took half a step back. He looked down at her with a smile that was not a smile. There was no joy or anger on his handsome face.

Alyssa felt that no one could guess his current mood from his expression because he did not want others to know.

Just like how he could investigate her thoroughly but she did not know anything about him. He controlled others but never revealed his true self in front of others.

It was originally an unfair game but she was too naive.

This time, the confrontation between the two seemed to have become a boundary point.

In the following period of time, both of them appeared cold and distant.

The two of them slept separately, got up early and went to work at their respective companies, and returned to dinner together. Occasionally, they would say a few words. They were no different from the kind of married couple who looked like they were separated by marriage.

However, it was Justin suffered. In this depressing atmosphere, he could foresee that his winter vacation would be very painful, so he decided to look for his brother, Dylan.

Alyssa thought of the last time Dylan said that he would treat her and Emmett to dinner. She did not know if Dylan had called Emmett or not. Emmett had not told her about it, so it should be gone.

Or perhaps Emmett rejected it?

Justin chose Saturday. Dylan had the time to pick him up personally.

"Brother."

Justin ran towards Dylan the moment he saw him.

Alyssa helped Justin organize some daily necessities and went downstairs. She saw Dylan was already standing in the hall.

It had been more than a week since the last banquet. Alyssa thought it would be awkward to see Dylan again, but she did not feel awkward at all.

Dylan smiled gently at her. “Alyssa."

His smile always had the charm of a spring breeze.

"I took something else for Chen." Dylan was a man after all. He was not as attentive as she was.

Dylan accepted the things in her hands and said, "Thank you very much."

"It's just a small matter." Alyssa turned to look at Justin. "Be good. Remember to do your homework during the winter vacation. When you want to come back, call your cousin and ask him to pick you up."

It was already the end of the year. Every company was very busy, and Nine Clouds Media was no exception.

During this period of time, Emmett often left his house early and came back late. Now, he had to work overtime at the company even during the weekends.

Justin was a ghost elf. He carried his things and went out first, leaving Dylan and Alyssa in the hall.
