CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 244

Alyssa opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Emmett let go of her and said in a rare gentle voice, "You should take an afternoon nap."

After she got pregnant, Alyssa had the habit of taking an afternoon nap. She did not sleep very long but habitually needed to take a nap.

Her mind was a little confused, so she nodded. "Yes."

She laid on the bed and closed her eyes, thinking that she would not be able to sleep, but in a short while she fell asleep.

Seeing Alyssa fall asleep, Emmett tucked the corner of the blanket for her and got up to go out.

Emmett carefully closed the door and walked all the way to a date tree in the yard.

That was the tree his mother planted when he was very young. He did not remember exactly how old he was at that time.

It was late winter. The date tree was bare without a single leaf. There was not even a single leaf under the tree because there were maids cleaning the yard every day.

Footsteps came from behind him.

Then came Dylan's voice. "People say that we are very close to each other, but they only see the surface.”

The two of them are about the same height and size. Standing facing each other, they actually feel like they are evenly matched.

Dylan smiled, and his tone was as gentle as usual. "For the sake of Alyssa, you wanted to terminate the contract with me. You even did not hesitate to smear my reputation online. What closeness did we have, huh?”

Emmett did not even blink. He was not moved at all. "For the sake of Skylar, you can even step on your dignity. You are nothing more than this."

You are nothing more than that.

This sentence fiercely impacted Dylan's eardrums.

His expression instantly became very ferocious. "Why do you look down on me?"

Emmett still had the same expressionless face. "I do look down on you. If you really want to deal with me, come straight at me. Don't attack a woman, especially a pregnant woman."

Skylar drove to Alyssa because she was instigated by Dylan.

It was because of this incident that he completely angered Emmett.

"Also, I don't need to smear your name at all. Who do you think you are after you left the Nine Clouds Media? You are just Dylan. Who knows how those people will deal with you?"

There was no disdain in Emmett's tone, but Dylan could feel his disdain.

Dylan clenched his fists and suppressed his anger. "Uncle told me to go to the Lawrence Group!"

Emmett replied lightly, "Up to you."

After he finished speaking, he looked down at the time.

Alyssa usually took an afternoon nap from forty minutes to an hour. If he smoked a cigarette now and went back, she would almost wake up.

Emmett took out the cigarette case and lit a cigarette as if there was no one else around.

Seeing Emmett completely ignored him, Dylan did not want to embarrass himself here. He gave Emmett a deep look and then turned to leave.

Emmett had become quiet since he was a teenager because of his mother. It was hard for others to get close to him. Later on, because of Justin, Dylan gradually got closer to Emmett.

Later, it was Emmett who started a film company. He joined the Nine Clouds and their relationship became closer.

Ten years ago, Dylan was only eighteen years old.

Even though he had been a good boy since he was young, at that age, most of them were rebellious.

That was why he had entered the entertainment industry behind his family's backs.

In the beginning, he did not have much hope, nor did he have any ulterior motives. He did not love that industry. At that time, he did not think that Emmett could bring glory to Nine Clouds Media.

But there were many things in life that could not be predicted.

It was just like how he did not want to enter the entertainment circle in the beginning, but he had stayed in this industry for ten years.

And after ten years, the Nine Clouds Media became the leader of the entertainment industry.

Ten years had also made his relationship with Emmett become solid.

If…

There were no ifs in this world...

At this time, Dylan had already walked to the door of his room.

He pushed the door open and locked the door behind him. He walked straight to the safe and took out the key to open it.

Inside were two DNA test reports.

He curled his lips, and the curve of his lips was very cold.

He took out the two DNA test reports and walked into the bathroom. He lit the two DNA test reports with a lighter in front of the sink.

He looked at the two DNA test reports that could throw him into the hell burned to ashes. He expressionlessly turned on the tap and let the water wash away the black ash.

Life was really boring.

For example, he had lived seriously for 28 years. In the end, it was just a joke.

…

Emmett only took two sips of his cigarette before extinguishing it.

He looked in the direction where Dylan had disappeared, then turned around and walked back.

He inadvertently saw a figure swaying beside a bush of evergreen plants.
