Emily forced a smile. "He's busy. It's just me today." Bryden's mouth dropped open in surprise. "No way? He cares about you so much, how could he not come with you, especially since you're pregnant..." This was a question she didn't know how to answer. She didn't even know why things had suddenly turned out this way. When she left for Germany, their relationship was still very good. They had agreed to reveal everything within a week and then get married; he even said he would help her reclaim everything... Could it be because of what she said in the car that day, which angered Mr. Satan? Was he upset that she had figured out his true identity without his consent? Or was it because she questioned his motives for approaching her? Emily suddenly felt a pang of regret. She had been too foolish. Why did she have to rush to clarify everything? Mr. Satan was such a proud person. It must have hurt him to be doubted by his own woman. Emily laughed at herself and said, "I probably made him angry." Bryden shook his head. "No way. All these years, although my brother acts very decisively, he rarely loses his temper, especially with those close to him. Emily, is there some misunderstanding between you two?" A misunderstanding? Her mind was in turmoil. Bella, standing nearby, was getting anxious. "Why isn't the driver here yet? We've been waiting for almost ten minutes. The wind is so strong today; what if Emily catches a cold? She's pregnant now; she mustn't get sick..." Bryden's expression turned peculiar. "The driver was probably called away by my mom." Emily sneered inwardly. Mandy disliked her. She knew Emily needed a car, so she had the driver leave early. The driver was just an employee; he wouldn't dare offend Mandy. Bryden said, "I was about to go out. Let me drive you home. Anyway, in a few days, we'll be family. You'll be my sister-in-law." Bryden had a good nature, quite unlike his mother, more like Alex. Bella nodded. "Bryden is a good driver. You should ride with him. You should also get to know your husband's brother better." Bella emphasized "husband's brother" heavily, as if to stress a point. Bryden's eyes dimmed briefly but quickly returned to normal. He walked over and opened the passenger door. "Hop in. I'm a decent driver." Emily smiled in thanks and opened the back door herself. "I'll sit in the back, thanks." Bryden awkwardly closed the passenger door. "I thought the passenger seat would be safer and give you a better view... The back is fine, too. More space. Bella, you should go back and stay with Grandma. I'll make sure Emily gets home safely." Bella was still worried. "Emily, please call when you get home, so Meggie won't worry." Emily nodded. "Sure, I'll remember." "Drive slowly, Bryden." Bryden had already settled in the driver's seat and started the car. "Don't worry, Bella. I'm not a kid." The car moved slowly through a long green belt and onto the road. Bryden glanced at Emily in the rearview mirror. She looked unwell today, her face pale, eyes showing exhaustion, brows furrowed, and her gaze at the window seemed troubled. "Is the pregnancy making you uncomfortable?" Emily lowered her gaze. "A bit." Bryden slowed down a bit more. "I'll drive even slower. If you still feel unwell, let me know." "Thank you." When they reached an intersection, Bryden instinctively turned left, but Emily stopped him in time. "Sorry, could you take me to Starry Apartments instead?" Bryden nodded and turned in the other direction. "Did my brother buy you a place at Starry Apartments? It's a nice place, not as grand as a villa, but the location and security are excellent." "...No, my friend lives there. I'm living with her."Bryden made an acknowledging sound and didn't speak further. After a few minutes, he pointed ahead. "You haven't been to my brother's company, have you? There it is, the tallest building." The building was a bit far, and Emily, sitting in the back, couldn't see it well. Bryden regretted. "You should have sat in the passenger seat. You could see it better." Emily said, "The passenger seat should be for your future girlfriend or wife." Bryden chuckled. "I've seen this word online too. But we're family; it doesn't matter. Besides, I don't have a girlfriend now." Emily forced a smile. "You will have one soon." Bryden touched his nose, falling silent. As the car moved forward, Emily finally caught a glimpse of the building from the back seat. The building was indeed tall, and from her angle, she couldn't see the top. It was oval-shaped, covered in sky-blue glass, looking like a giant sapphire standing upright. In the sunlight, it shimmered beautifully. "This building is in the new district, right?" "Yes, it's the center of the new district, a major CBD. No one believed in its potential at first, thinking it was too remote. My brother saw its potential immediately and invested in building there. Look, in just a few years, it's the most prosperous area in New York. My brother has great vision," he glanced at Emily, his voice softer, "He chose you too." Emily didn't know what to say to that. She just looked at the building, feeling a mix of emotions.
