CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Alyssa did not react for a moment.

Emmett’s aunt?

She was puzzled for a moment and then suddenly remembered that Emmett’s aunt was Dylan’s

biological mother.

Although she had never seen Emmett’s aunt, Emmett had never mentioned his aunt directly. But from

the relationship between Emmett and Dylan, Alyssa could tell that Emmett had a good relationship with

his aunt.

Although Emmett had only said those words calmly, Alyssa could still hear the depression in his tone.

Even if his relationship with Dylan was broken and he did not know how to behave when he saw his

aunt, it was impossible for him to have such emotional ups and downs.

Alyssa raised her head and looked into his eyes. She softly asked him, “Is there a problem with her

coming back?”

Alyssa did not know what Sawyer said to Emmett last time.

Emmett stared at her for two seconds. He reached out to brush the bangs on her forehead. His

expression and tone had returned to normal. His tone was indifferent. “No problem. We might have to

go back to the old residence tomorrow.”

Although Alyssa had said that she would help him, these matters were too heavy. He did not want her

to be troubled by these matters.

When he was with her, he still hoped that she would be more relaxed and happy.

Alyssa did not know anything about the kidnapping case back then. The more time passed, the more

reluctant Emmett was to expose too much of the kidnapping case to her.

Alyssa was already prepared to go back to the old residence. She simply nodded. “Okay.”

This surprised Emmett.

However, the next morning, when he saw Alyssa take out the luggage that she had packed earlier, he

knew that she had been preparing to return to Lawrence family since a long time ago.

Emmett could not help but laugh. He put her luggage back. “We don’t need to bring any luggage. We

are just going back for a meal.”

“It’s almost the new year. You should go home for the new year this year, right?” Alyssa looked at the

suitcase and wanted to bring it back.

Emmett quickly held her hand. “I haven’t gone back to the old residence to celebrate the New Year for

so many years. It doesn’t matter if I don’t go back this year.”

Alyssa opened her mouth and wanted to say something but was interrupted by Emmett. “Alright, let’s

go. Don’t think about such boring things.”

Going home to celebrate the new year was boring.

…

The two of them went back to the old residence together.

There was still a group of maids and bodyguards at the door to welcome them back, but the scale was

a little smaller than when they first came back.

Alyssa had already seen this scene once, so she naturally did not feel much this time.

Perhaps it was because the number of servants and bodyguards in the house had increased recently,

so she was already used to this kind of life.

Thinking about this, she felt that Emmett was really generous to her.

Others said that the grudges and disputes of the Wealthy Class were very complicated, but at least

until now, she had not experienced it much.

The main reason was that Emmett’s temper had become much better recently, so he indulged her

unconditionally.

“Young Master, Young Madame, welcome back.”

Along the way, there were maids and bodyguards who respectfully called them.

When they arrived at the main hall, Alyssa did not even look at the people inside when she heard a

woman’s excited voice.

“Emmett.”

Alyssa looked over and saw a middle-aged woman in a dark red coat walking towards them.

She did not put on much makeup and did not wear any extra jewelry. She looked very elegant.

She walked towards Emmett and reached out to grab his arm.

Alyssa understood in her heart that this woman must be Emmett’s aunt, Frances.

“Aunt.” Emmett called out expressionlessly, but he still held Alyssa and took half a step back, avoiding

Frances’s hand.

Frances’s face showed a hint of surprise.

Her hand was still slightly raised, just like that, frozen in the air.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.

Alyssa turned her head to look at Emmett. Emmett did not look at her, but the hand that was holding

her shoulder increased its strength as if comforting her. He was hinting for her to be at ease.

“We haven’t seen each other for almost a year or two.” Frances’s expression had already returned to

normal. She looked at Emmett with a relaxed expression. “I heard that Justin secretly ran back to look

for you. He has caused you trouble.”

Emmett nodded indifferently. “Yes.”

“…”

Emmett actually nodded?

“Hey, Emmett! You actually said I was troublesome. I didn’t give you any trouble!”

Justin’s voice suddenly came from behind them.

Alyssa heard him and turned her head in surprise. She saw Justin walking towards them in a blue

down jacket.

“Justin!” She hadn’t seen Justin for a while and missed him.

Justin grinned and ran towards her. “Alyssa!”

“You seem to have grown taller again.” Alyssa stretched out her hand and pointed at their heads. She

felt that Justin was taller than before.

“Really? I also think I am taller, but my brother…” Justin suddenly stopped talking. His tone became a

little forced. “They all said I didn’t grow taller.”

Alyssa naturally heard the word “my brother” from his words.

It seemed Justin already knew what happened between Dylan and Emmett.

Alyssa smiled and patted his head lightly.

Justin scratched his head as if he was a little embarrassed. He asked with concern, “I heard you are

pregnant?”

He looked at Alyssa and said, “But it doesn’t look like it.”

“Silly. He is still young now. He will only grow up after two months.” Alyssa could not help but knock his

head again.

“This is Alyssa, right?”

Frances’s voice cut in. Alyssa and Justin turned back to look at her.

Only then did Alyssa realize that when she was talking to Justin just now, Emmett and Frances seemed

to not say anything.

Because she had just spoken to Justin, she stood a little far away from Emmett. Emmett pulled her to

his side and briefly introduced her, “This is my wife, Alyssa.”

Then he looked at Frances and said to Alyssa, “This is my aunt.”

Since Emmett introduced Frances, Alyssa obediently greeted her, “Hello Aunt, I am Alyssa.”

“You are so beautiful.” Frances smiled, giving people a very gentle feeling.

After she finished, she added, “You are even prettier than in the photos.”

Alyssa was surprised, “What photos?”

“I took your photos and sent them to my mother.” Justin walked to Frances’s side and put his arm

around Frances’s shoulder, “I told you long ago that Alyssa is prettier than the picture.”

Alyssa pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled.

George walked in at some point. “Don’t all stand here. Go in and sit.”

Alyssa was a bit hesitant. Emmett and George did not have a good relationship. Should she greet

George?

However, Emmett didn’t give her time to think. He hugged her and walked inside. “Come in and sit.”

As soon as Alyssa sat down, Justin came to her side and asked her questions curiously.

No one mentioned Dylan.

At this moment, Dylan and Eliza walked in together.
