CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 459

Aurora saw the seriousness in Alyssa's eyes and said embarrassedly, "It's good that you don't hold any grudges. Where have you been these few years? Are you okay?"

Alyssa felt that there was nothing to talk about between the two of them but Aurora clearly did not think so and looked like she wanted to have a long talk with Alyssa.

After Alyssa heard Aurora’s words, she carefully sized Aurora up.

Although Aurora did not dote on her since she was young, she unexpectedly inherited Aurora's looks.

Aurora was a beauty. At least three years ago, she was also a well-maintained middle-aged beautiful woman.

However, the Aurora in front of her was much older compared to the Aurora three years ago. The fishtail lines at the corner of her eyes had already started to show. Her back was slightly bent and her body was not as good as before.

Alyssa quietly sized Aurora up and said lightly, "I am very good. What about you?"

Hearing these words, Aurora thought that Alyssa still cared about her.

Aurora was overjoyed. A smile appeared on her face and then she shook her head. "As long as you live well, I am fine too."

As long as she lived well?

It meant that she was not doing well.

From Aurora's clothes and her mental state, one could tell what kind of life she was in right now.

These three years, Aurora was definitely not as comfortable as before.

Alyssa roughly understood what Aurora was thinking.

Whenever Aurora did not live well and had difficulties, she would think of looking for Alyssa.

"I want to buy things and do not have time to reminisce with Madam Moore." After Alyssa finished speaking, she did not give Aurora the chance to speak and turned around to pick something.

However, Aurora did not leave. Instead, she did not go far or close to her.

When Alyssa occasionally turned her head, Aurora would reveal a timid smile to her.

This was very different from Aurora a few years ago.

Alyssa's heart had a trace of change.

But very quickly, this trace of emotion in her heart returned to calmness.

Because she thought of Skylar.

Skylar hated her so much and Aurora always loved Skylar very much.

She gave Aurora so many chances but Aurora chose to give up on her every time.

Therefore, Alyssa suspected that Aurora was instigated by Skylar to deliberately approach her.

After all, Aurora had helped Skylar harm Alyssa many times in the past and Aurora could do this kind of thing very skillfully.

The more she thought about it, the colder Alyssa's heart became.

She quickly picked the things she needed and paid the bill before leaving the supermarket.

When Alyssa went to the underground parking lot, she saw Aurora again.

"Alyssa." Aurora stood beside her car and called her name.

Alyssa looked at her expressionlessly, "Did Skylar send you here?"

Aurora was stunned for a moment and quickly denied, "No, it has nothing to do with Skylar. It was only when I saw the news that I knew you had returned to Holston City. I also came out to buy things today and did not expect to meet you here."

Alyssa was disappointed with Aurora too many times so she did not really believe her words.

Alyssa reached out her hand to support herself against the car door and said, "Regardless of whether Skylar sent you over or not, you just need to be clear about one thing. That is, we are no longer related and I have nothing to do with the Moore family."

After she finished speaking, she opened the car door and wanted to sit inside.

At this moment, Aurora suddenly stopped her and said in disbelief, "Alyssa, why are you so cruel? If I tell you that Skylar has been torturing me for the past three years, would you not blame yourself at all?"

Alyssa was stunned for a moment.

She did not think that Skylar would transfer her hatred to Aurora.

After all, her relationship with Aurora was not good at all. This was something Skylar also knew.

Her relationship with Aurora was not good. Even if Skylar tortured Aurora, it would not affect Alyssa. Skylar should also understand this principle.

The only explanation was that Skylar was really agitated by Dylan's death. As long as it was someone related to Alyssa, she wanted revenge.

"Why should I blame myself?" Alyssa laughed mockingly. "That is your daughter who you have loved since she was a child. She treats you in this way. Won’t you regret for what you have done to me?”

She deliberately emphasized the word "daughter.”

Aurora's expression changed slightly. "Alyssa, you were not like this in the past. When you were young, you understood me very well. Why am I so good to Skylar, it's not like you don't know. Furthermore. . ."

"Alright." Alyssa interrupted her.

At this time, Aurora still called out "Skylar" so lovingly. It could be seen that she still had some feelings for Skylar.

She was sick of hearing Aurora's reasons and excuses over and over again.

"You asked me if I would blame myself the moment you opened you mouth. But have you looked for me in the past three years? Have you ever tried to know where had I been, or what happened to me? You simply have never treated me as your daughter. Why do you think I would blame myself? I can’t even wait to laugh! Madam Moore, you don't understand me at all."

Alyssa said and shook off Aurora's hand. She got into the car and quickly drove away.

Aurora stood where she was and watched Alyssa disappear. A trace of unwillingness appeared in her eyes.

When Alyssa came out to buy things, her mood could not be said to be very good, but it was not that bad.

After meeting Aurora, her mood completely fell.

She could not be so carefree because Aurora still had a certain influence on her.

When Emmett came over for dinner tonight, he noticed Alyssa's expression was not quite right.

He casually put his suit jacket on the hanger at the door and walked towards the dining table.

Alyssa saw him come in and looked behind him. When she confirmed that he was alone, Alyssa asked him in confusion, "Where is Ella?"

Emmett sat down in front of the dining table. His gaze swept around the dining table and he lightly replied, "At home."

Alyssa thought of Aurora she met today and did not say anything else.

Angela living with Emmett was much better than living with her.

She did not ask any more questions and went into the kitchen to bring out the soup.

When she brought out the soup, she found that Emmett had already stood up and walked into the kitchen.

Alyssa asked him, "What do you want to do?"

Emmett replied with two words, "Get the bowl."

Alyssa's mouth was slightly open in surprise.

Did she hear it wrong? Emmett said he wanted to go in and get the bowl?

The last time he was here, Emmett went to get the bowl himself to follow Angela's wishes. So what this time?

Alyssa carried the soup to the table in a daze. Emmett had already taken out two sets of chopsticks

and bowls

He was a tall man with long arms. He placed one set of chopsticks in front of him before placing the other set in front of Alyssa.

He placed the bowl properly and raised his eyebrows to look at Alyssa. "Aren't you going to say thank you?"

Alyssa said mechanically, "Thank you."

"Yes." Emmett replied calmly and sat down to eat.

Alyssa felt something was wrong.

After a while, she finally realized that Emmett's actions just now were similar to how she usually coaxed Angela.
