CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

When Emmett returned to his room, Alyssa was still asleep.

He had just smoked a cigarette, and the smell of smoke lingered on his fingers.

He put his coat on the bed, looked at Alyssa, and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

When he came out, he saw Alyssa hugging the blanket and leaning against the bed. Her expression

was dazed. It was obvious that she had just woken up and was not in the mood.

“You are awake.”

Emmett walked to the bed and sat down.

Alyssa frowned. “Did you smoke?”

Emmett was stunned. He did not expect Alyssa’s nose to be so sensitive, but he still nodded. “Yes.”

He then added, “I only lit a cigarette and smoked a few times.”

Alyssa’s nose was even more sensitive than when she was not pregnant before.

“I used to think you don’t smoke.” Alyssa had never seen Emmett smoking before, so she thought

Emmett did not smoke.

Emmett smiled and didn’t say anything.

He really didn’t like smoking.

After all, smoking was harmful to one’s health. He cherished his life.

However, there were too many things happening recently. Occasionally, he could not help but want to

smoke a cigarette. However, most of the time, he only smoked when Alyssa was not around.

Emmett thought for a moment and suddenly said, “When you see Dylan in the future, stay away from

him.”

Although when he was not around, he had arranged for many bodyguards to follow Alyssa, but these

few days in the old residence, Alyssa could not avoid meeting Dylan.

Alyssa caught a glimse of Emmett’s coat on the side of the bed from the corner of her eye. She

remembered that when she was sleeping, Emmett’s coat was on the sofa.

It seemed that after she fell asleep, he went out.

Alyssa guessed and asked, “Have you met him again? What did you guys say?”

“We didn’t say anything.” Emmett looked cold. “He and I have nothing to say now.”

Alyssa held Emmett’s hand in a comforting manner and did not say anything.

…

There was nothing to do in the old residence. Alyssa basically stayed in the room except to eat.

However, after dinner, Winston asked her to go to his room to watch television with him for a while.

Alyssa thought Winston had something to say again, but in the end, he really just wanted her to watch

TV with him.

The programs that old people liked to watch were all crosstalk and drama. Alyssa felt a little bored, but

Winston was very happy to watch, so she could only accompany him.

However, Winston still worried about Alyssa’s body and asked her to watch TV with him for an hour. He

then urged her to go back to her room to rest.

Winston narrowed his eyes and looked at Alyssa for a few seconds. “Go back and rest first. Tell

Emmett to come over. I have something to tell him.”

Previously, Winston asked Alyssa to accompany him to watch television. Of course, Emmett wanted to

come along. It was just that Alyssa did not allow him to come over.

Winston was old and his thoughts were conservative. If Emmett acted like he cared too much about

her, it would not be good.

“Okay.” Alyssa stood up and was about to walk out.

“Alyssa.”

When she was about to walk to the door, she heard Winston calling her from behind.

Alyssa turned her head. “What’s wrong, Grandfather?”

Winston was a playful young master when he was young, but because his family arranged a marriage

for him, he got married very early.

It was said that Emmett’s grandmother was two years older than Winston. The two of them were quite

harmonious after their marriage. But Winston was not a person loyal to marriage.

He had a wife at home, but he had many lovers outside, as well as some illegitimate children.

However, his illegitimate children were all disappointing, and he did not take a liking to any of them, so

none of them had ever been brought to the Lawrence Family.

Alyssa had heard these things from Hazel.

Winston was a man of status. Even though he had so many women and children outside, no one had

ever come to the Lawrence family to cause trouble. This was enough to give Emmett’s grandmother

face.

Because he got married early, even though his oldest grandson, Dylan was already 28 years old, he

was only in his early seventies this year.

At this age, ordinary retired elders had already spent their years at home. If they did not suffer from

serious illness, they would still be very healthy.

In a wealthy family like the Lawrence family, Winston’s daily necessities were the best. He also had a

specialized nutritionist.

However, at this moment, Winston was sitting alone on the sofa, looking very worried. He lacked the

dignity of a parent. Instead, he looked a little tired and aged, which made people pity him.

At this moment, Alyssa clearly felt that Winston was not comfortable.

“It’s my fault for what happened in the past. I was old and muddle-headed. In the future, I will not

interfere in the matters between you and Emmett. The two of you must be well.”

Winston’s tone was a little hoarse, giving people the feeling that he was talking about his will.

Alyssa’s expression changed slightly. Her voice could not help but become a little higher. “Grandfather!”

She knew that Winston was talking about the matter of sending Amelia over. Alyssa did indeed have

some complaints about him in her heart because there was a grudge in her heart, but she did not care

too much about it.

Because Emmett was very concerned about her.

As long as Emmett had her in his heart, no matter what others thought or did, it did not matter to her.

However, Winston’s tone at this moment made her very uneasy.

“Alright, you should leave quickly. It’s almost 10 o’clock. Tell Emmett to come over quickly. I’m going to

sleep soon.” Winston waved his hand, looking impatient to hear her say more.

Alyssa looked at him worriedly. She pushed open the door and hurried back to her room.

Emmett was in his pajamas, leaning against the bed and playing games with his phone. His face was

still expressionless, as if the game was not fun.

From time to time, he would look at the door, indicating that he was not in the mood to play games.

Instead, he just wanted to kill time.

When he saw Alyssa push the door open and enter, he threw his phone to the side and got out of bed.

He walked towards Alyssa.

“Did he make things difficult for you?” As Emmett spoke, he looked at her expression.

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with her, he stopped looking at her.

Alyssa shook her head and passed on Winston’s words to Emmett. “Grandpa asked you to come over.

He said he had something to tell you. He told you to go over quickly. He will sleep later.”

Emmett heard her and thought for a moment before asking, “What else? What did he tell you?”

“Nothing. I was just watching TV with him.” Alyssa frowned. “But I think Grandpa is a little strange. His

tone is also a little off.”

She really felt that Winston was saying his last words, but she could not say it in front of Emmett.

After all, Winston was Emmett’s grandfather.

Alyssa sighed. “You will know when you go.”

Even she could tell that Winston’s tone was not right. Emmett was so smart that he could definitely tell.

He might be able to discover something.

Emmett saw Alyssa frown and sigh. His expression became serious.

“I’ll go first. You go to sleep first.” He told Alyssa and left.
