CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 293

After Alyssa finished speaking, the room fell into a dead silence.

The two of them stood facing each other. Their eyes met and neither of them was willing to take a step back.

After a while, Emmett sighed slightly. There was a rare trace of tiredness in his tone. "They have some misgivings about me. I cannot let you risk yourself."

All these years, he had no clue about his mother's case. Even if there came some clues, he couldn’t trace them anymore.

He had also thought that perhaps he was overthinking things.

Perhaps the kidnapping case of him and his mother was just an accident.

However, what happened to Winston changed his mind.

Before Winston got into trouble, he looked for Emmett and said that he would tell Emmett everything he wanted to know after the New Year passed peacefully.

However, Winston did not manage to live through the New Year peacefully.

On the morning of the first day of the New Year, he fell down the stairs. When he woke up, he had already lost his mind.

After that, Alyssa was framed as the murderer of Winston.

All of this was a warning from some people in the Lawrence family.

Some people in the Lawrence family did not want Emmett to know the truth behind his mother's case. They kept threatening him with the people around him.

Alyssa shook her head and said, "Even if I don't risk my life, can I stay out of it?"

After she finished, she added another sentence. "You know better than me what happened to Grandfather. Even if I don't do anything, they will still not let me go. I just don't understand why they are putting in so much effort to deal with you."

Alyssa had also sorted out these things over the past few days.

After the accident of Winston, she once suspected George and Frances.


On New Year's Eve, she had seen George and Frances sneaking into a room. Then Winston fell down the stairs, and she was framed as the murder.

All these things seemed to be well-planned.

She never knew why they did it, nor did she know what Emmett was hiding from her. It was only when Angela disappeared that Alyssa suddenly understood something.

While threatening Emmett, they also wanted to hold him back.

They wanted Emmett to be obedient.

After Alyssa finished speaking, she kept looking up at Emmett.

She thought that it would be good if Emmett told her the truth.

Emmett just changed the topic. "I'm hungry."

"Go and eat if you're hungry." After Alyssa finished speaking, she turned to the side, indicating that he could go.

Emmett did not leave. Instead, he sat down on the big sofa and said, "I don't know how to cook."

Alyssa was not soft-hearted at all. "Then go to the restaurant to eat."

The expression on Emmett’s face was the same as usual. His tone was both serious and shameless. "The food in the restaurant is not good."

Alyssa walked up to him and narrowed her eyes. "You have made up your mind to stay with me, haven’t you?"

Emmett leaned back and said calmly, "We have received our marriage certificates."

If she hadn’t wanted to make Angela a registered resident, she would not have rushed to get a marriage certificate with Emmett.

She just felt that if Angela's name was written on the household register, there would be a trace of reliance.

Even if they had only met once, she wanted Angela to know that her parents loved her.

In the end, Alyssa could not make up her mind to drive Emmett away. She glared at Emmett and said, "Wait here."

Then, she turned around and went to the kitchen.

After sending Alyssa into the kitchen, Emmett started to size up the house Alyssa rented.

It was made up of a simple bedroom and a living room. It was not big, but it was very clean. The furniture was not much. It looked a little more deserted than his apartment, but it was filled with Alyssa's aura.

Emmett squinted his eyes. He leaned on the sofa and fell asleep without realizing it.

When Alyssa finished cooking, she found that Emmett was already asleep.

She hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to push Emmett. "It's time to eat."

Emmett opened his eyes. He had just woken up and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, which proved that he was not very awake at the moment.

Alyssa saw him open his eyes and was about to withdraw his hand when she did not expect Emmett to suddenly reach out and grab her.

Not only that, after he grabbed her, he pulled her into his arms directly.

Alyssa was standing. Being pulled by him like this, her center of gravity became unstable and she fell directly into his embrace.

The man's chest was strong and hard. The moment her body and his chest touched, it hurt a little.
