The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Emily felt like Michael was always looking down on her.novelbin

She rolled her eyes and snapped, "Shut up."

She expected Michael to fire back, maybe even get all dramatic and slam the table, but to her surprise, he actually shut up. Abigail watched them bicker and felt like the world had gone topsy-turvy.

Still, Abigail wasn't quite ready to let go of that "artist scumbag."

They'd been together for three days, the perfect whirlwind romance. She was head over heels, only to get dumped out of nowhere. To Abigail, it was worse than heartbreak.

The more she thought about it, the sadder she got, and soon enough, she was crying uncontrollably again.

Seeing this, Emily exchanged a helpless look with Michael and started consoling Abigail, one sentence at a time.

In the end, Michael had to leave Abigail's house alone.

Emily was really worried about Abigail, so she decided to stay and take care of her.

Michael asked, "You say she's hopeless, then what are you?"

In Michael's eyes, Emily had cried rivers over their issues.

Compared to her, Abigail's heartbreak was nothing.

Only the tragic heroines in love dramas could compare to her.

But Emily always felt like Michael was mocking her.

There was tension and conflict between them. They were more like a couple on the brink of divorce than friends who could joke around.

Emily was furious, "Michael, are you done? Isn't it enough that you make fun of me in front of Abigail and strangers?"

Michael frowned, feeling like Emily was being unreasonable. "Who's making fun of you? I was just joking!"

Emily replied coldly, "Do you see me laughing?"

Michael was at a loss for words. "You..."

Emily simply pushed Michael out of the house. "Thanks for getting rid of the scumbag today, but that's the only thing I'm thanking you for. We keep business and personal matters separate. Now that I've thanked you, I want you to leave immediately, Mr. Smith. I'm off duty."

With that, Emily slammed the door, leaving Michael no chance to retort.

Later, Emily cooked some soup and went upstairs to check on the still-depressed Abigail.

She found Abigail leaning against the window, tears in her eyes, looking despondently outside.

Seeing this, Emily sighed and brought the food to Abigail, saying, "Drink some, you must be thirsty after sleeping."

Emily was a great cook, especially when it came to soup.

Even though Abigail was sad, the delicious smell quickly caught her attention. She picked up the spoon and the bowl, saying, "Right now, only this can comfort my wounded soul." Seeing Abigail still able to joke, Emily felt much relieved.

She watched with satisfaction as Abigail finished a bowl of soup, feeling a sense of fulfillment, and asked, "Do you want another bowl?"

As she spoke, Emily reached for the bowl to get more soup.

But Abigail suddenly grabbed her hand, a slight smile appearing on her face. "Emily, don't be busy. Shouldn't you explain some things to me?"

What Emily admired most about Abigail was her cheerfulness.

Even a breakup couldn't keep Abigail down for long. Sure, she might cry her eyes out, but as soon as something new happened, she'd be all about the gossip.

Just like now, her eyes were sparkling as she put down the bowl and pulled Emily closer. "Come on, spill it. What's going on with you and Michael?" Emily shot back, "What do you mean, what's going on?"

Abigail rolled her eyes. "You know exactly what I mean. Don't play dumb with me. I'm not in the mood for tongue twisters!"

Meanwhile, downstairs at Abigail's place, Michael was smoking and replaying the argument with Emily in his head. Neither of them had backed down. Thinking back, it was kind of funny.

He used to think Emily was dull and boring, hard to get along with.

But at some point, Michael realized he liked Emily's spirit-sometimes fragile, sometimes strong, sometimes fragile again. Just like people said, women were made of water.

To Michael, Emily was like water too. Gentle yet strong. And more importantly, he found himself needing her more and more.

But thinking back, Michael felt his realization came too late.

Emily's heart was hard to win back, and they seemed destined to part ways.

He could only cherish the little time they had left, cherish his moments with Emily.

Thinking of this, Michael felt a pang in his chest. He exhaled the last puff of smoke, lowered the car window, flicked the cigarette butt, and then looked up at the third floor of Abigail's house with deep affection.

Emily said, "Is he still downstairs?"

At that moment, Emily was also looking downstairs.

She couldn't see him, but she could see it was Michael's car.

Michael hadn't left. While she was cooking a pot of soup, Michael was still downstairs.

This made Emily's heart flutter, the waves of emotion spreading further.

Abigail replied, "I told you so! Emily, don't doubt it. I may have poor judgment in men, but I'm very familiar with romance. I really think Michael has changed. You saw it with your own eyes, you can't deny it!" Abigail had indeed noticed something.

From Michael following Emily into the house, to his gaze always following Emily, to the once arrogant CEO now obediently shutting up at his wife's command... it was just like in those popular novels! Abigail couldn't help but get excited. When Emily sat down, she grabbed her hand again and started talking.

The breakup just now turned Abigail into a relationship expert.

Emily couldn't help but regret not taking Michael's car to the hospital to see her mother.

Abigail added, "Emily, Michael's attitude towards you has changed, which means his feelings for you have changed too. You always say he doesn't like you, but if he didn't like you, why would he listen to you?" "Also, I was originally unrelated to him, right? But he's a CEO of a listed company, yet he's willing to give up business time to help. What does that mean?"

What does that mean?

Emily showed a puzzled expression.

Abigail immediately followed with a look of exasperation, excitedly answering her own question. "It means you have a special place in his heart, he's willing to do these boring things for you! Emily, I'm very serious now, I strongly believe Michael has fallen for you!"
