Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal
Emily's phone rang. Olivia asked, "Is it Mr. Satan?" Emily shook her head. "It's Meggie." ... Emily had been abroad for a while and hadn't visited the Norman family in a long time. Bella waited at the door, smiling. "Did you have a good time abroad? Meggie has been missing you." Emily smiled softly. "Is she feeling better?" "Much better!" Bella said happily. "She looks much healthier and even has the strength to copy the Bible. She said she's praying for your baby. By the way, why didn't Vincent come with you? Meggie called him. She wanted him to bring you home for dinner." Emily hadn't received any call from Mr. Satan. She took her phone out of her bag to check. The signal was full, and the battery was sufficient. She could receive calls and texts anytime. But... there were no records at all. He really hadn't contacted her. Emily's smile was a bit forced. "He must have been too busy with work and forgot it." Bella supported her as they walked inside, disapproving. "You're pregnant now, and this is an important time. His work can't compare to you." Emily just smiled faintly and didn't respond. In the living room, Meggie was already dressed in a black dress with dark red accents, looking very elegant. Bella chuckled. "You changed again?" "Of course, Emily is coming to see me. I have to dress nicely. Emily, come sit next to me." Meggie patted the spot beside her and reached out to Emily. Emily sat down.Meggie asked a few questions about her time in Europe, and Emily answered politely. But Meggie quickly noticed Vincent's absence. "Is Vincent parking the car? Or did his father call him away?" Bella replied, "He hasn't arrived yet." Meggie was surprised. "He didn't come? How did Emily get here?" "Emily took a taxi." Meggie instantly got angry. "Bella, call Vincent." "Yes." Bella fetched her phone, dialed Mr. Satan's number, and put it on speaker. The phone rang for a long time before it was answered. There was some noise on his end, with the sound of gunfire, making Meggie frown. "Vincent!" "...Grandma?" "Where are you? I hear gunfire. You're not in Syria, are you? I remember your company doesn't have a branch in Syria." Meggie's tone was displeased. Mr. Satan noticed her tone and paused. "Grandma, I might not make it back today." "Why?" "I have something to deal with." "What is it?" Meggie patted Emily's hand reassuringly, signaling she would stand up for her, and sternly said into the phone, "Tell me clearly where you are. My blood pressure can't handle this." "I'm at the movie theater." The movie theater? A workaholic, not at work, but at a movie theater. Meggie was angry. "Emily is here with me, and you're at the movie theater alone? Come back immediately! Emily is carrying your child..." Before she could finish, a young woman's voice came through the phone, "Who's that?"The voice was like a splash of cold water in hot oil, leaving everyone stunned. He was at the movie theater, and there was a young woman with him? This news hit Emily like a bolt of lightning. Had the woman he loved before come back? Meggie was furious. "Who is that woman? Explain yourself!" Mr. Satan seemed unwilling to discuss it further. "Grandma, I'll explain when I get back. I have something to do now. I have to go." Before Meggie could respond, the call was cut off. "This brat, what's wrong with him today? He's like a different person." Meggie frowned in frustration. Bella, worried about her blood pressure, quickly brought out some medication. Meggie called again, but the phone only rang once before being cut off. When she tried again, it was turned off. The air was thick with silence. Mr. Satan's behavior today was so unusual, even Meggie was taken aback. "Emily, don't be angry. I've known Vincent since he was little. I know what kind of person he is. Since he brought you home and introduced you to me, it means he's serious about marrying you. The woman on the phone could be a business partner." Meggie's voice trailed off. Even she knew her words lacked conviction. He was so powerful, influential enough to stir things up in New York City. Who else could make him go to the movies? "Emily..." "Grandma, what did Bella cook today? I'm a bit hungry. Since he's not coming back, let's eat." Meggie sighed repeatedly. "You're too kind. Emily, don't worry. When Vincent returns, I'll ask him clearly and make him apologize to you!" No one had a good appetite during that meal. For some reason, Emily, who had never had much morning sickness, was particularly nauseous today. She ran to the bathroom five or six times, vomiting bile. Bella was especially worried. "Emily, do you need to go to the hospital?"Emily waved her hand. "No, Bella. Take good care of Meggie. I'll go home and rest." Bella walked her to the door. "Emily, let's wait here. I called a driver to take you home." Emily nodded. But instead of the driver, they saw Bryden about to drive out. He immediately spotted Emily and stopped the car. "Emily's here? Where's my brother? Did he go to get the car?"
