Chapter 148

Alyssa and Justin bought a lot of things in the supermarket.

Half of them were Justin's snacks.

In his words, it was going to be winter vacation soon. During winter vacation, he had to enjoy it.

When he was paying, Alyssa had just taken out her wallet when Justin pressed her back. "You come to
shopping with a man. I don't have any reason for you to pay. I'll pay!"

Alyssa was speechless.

In the past, he used to live in her rented room. When he was freeloading, did he forget that he was a
man?

Justin's money was earned by helping people do homework and play games. He was also quite hard-
working. Alyssa naturally could not bear to spend his money, but she could not persuade Justin.

He was as thin as a monkey in his puberty, but he had a lot of strength. He forcefully stopped Alyssa
and paid for it himself.

Alyssa could only give up. Anyway, it was only a few hundred yuan. She would just buy something for
Justin later.

…

At night.



Alyssa had just brought the prepared dishes to the table when she saw Emmett walk into the restaurant
with an unhappy expression.

Alyssa asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Uncle said that he will hold a banquet in Golden Fountain tomorrow night and asked him to bring you
there." Justin ran out of nowhere and answered Alyssa's question.

Alyssa looked at Justin in doubt and asked Emmett, "What banquet?"

Emmett did not say anything and sat down in front of the table.

"You don't want to go?" Emmett's expression showed that he didn't want to go.

Justin whispered into her ear, "Cousin does not want to see uncle."

Emmett and his father, George, did not get along, so Alyssa could more or less think of a reason.

The reason was naturally related to Emmett's mother.

As for the details, Alyssa did not quite understand.

When they returned to the room, Emmett still had that cold expression on his face.

Alyssa walked over and helped him remove his tie. "If you don't want to go, then don't go. He will not
force you."



Emmett bent slightly to match Alyssa's height so that she could remove his tie.

However, at the same time he bent down, a pair of arms wrapped around her waist.

Alyssa speechlessly stared at him. "Let go!"

Not only did Emmett not let go, he even deliberately slid up her back. "My tie has been removed for
me. Won't you help me take off my clothes?"

Alyssa pushed him. "You wish!"
Alysso ond Justin bought o lot of things in the supermorket.

Holf of them were Justin's snocks.

In his words, it wos going to be winter vocotion soon. During winter vocotion, he hod to enjoy it.

When he wos poying, Alysso hod just token out her wollet when Justin pressed her bock. "You come to
shopping with o mon. I don't hove ony reoson for you to poy. I'll poy!"

Alysso wos speechless.

In the post, he used to live in her rented room. When he wos freelooding, did he forget thot he wos o
mon?

Justin's money wos eorned by helping people do homework ond ploy gomes. He wos olso quite hord-
working. Alysso noturolly could not beor to spend his money, but she could not persuode Justin.



He wos os thin os o monkey in his puberty, but he hod o lot of strength. He forcefully stopped Alysso
ond poid for it himself.

Alysso could only give up. Anywoy, it wos only o few hundred yuon. She would just buy something for
Justin loter.

…

At night.

Alysso hod just brought the prepored dishes to the toble when she sow Emmett wolk into the restouront
with on unhoppy expression.

Alysso osked, "Whot's wrong with you?"

"Uncle soid thot he will hold o bonquet in Golden Fountoin tomorrow night ond osked him to bring you
there." Justin ron out of nowhere ond onswered Alysso's question.

Alysso looked ot Justin in doubt ond osked Emmett, "Whot bonquet?"

Emmett did not soy onything ond sot down in front of the toble.

"You don't wont to go?" Emmett's expression showed thot he didn't wont to go.

Justin whispered into her eor, "Cousin does not wont to see uncle."



Emmett ond his fother, George, did not get olong, so Alysso could more or less think of o reoson.

The reoson wos noturolly reloted to Emmett's mother.

As for the detoils, Alysso did not quite understond.

When they returned to the room, Emmett still hod thot cold expression on his foce.

Alysso wolked over ond helped him remove his tie. "If you don't wont to go, then don't go. He will not
force you."

Emmett bent slightly to motch Alysso's height so thot she could remove his tie.

However, ot the some time he bent down, o poir of orms wropped oround her woist.

Alysso speechlessly stored ot him. "Let go!"

Not only did Emmett not let go, he even deliberotely slid up her bock. "My tie hos been removed for
me. Won't you help me toke off my clothes?"

Alysso pushed him. "You wish!"

"Then I will help you take it off." As he spoke, his long fingers slid from the back of her neck to the front.

The room was very warm. Alyssa took off her coat as soon as she entered the room and was only
wearing a shirt. Emmett's fingers slid down the collar of her shirt. His movements were smooth and he
undid the buttons of her shirt one by one.



Alyssa felt that when this man closed the door, no one could match his shamelessness.

…

Saturday night.

Alyssa sat on the sofa in the main hall. In front of her stood a row of makeup artists, stylists, and
clothing matching masters.

Further back was a row of dresses.

"Who asked you to send them over?"

"It's Young Master Lawrence."

Although she knew that no one else would send these clothes over except Emmett, she was still a little
annoyed.

Last night, she had asked Emmett if he wanted to go to the banquet, but he did not answer her. She
thought he did not want to go, so she did not take the matter of the banquet to heart. Now that he had
asked someone to send these things over, it was obvious that he was preparing for the banquet.

But Alyssa did not prepare at all.

"Young Madame, there is not much time. Do you think we should start the tuxedo now?" The stylist
asked.



"No rush. I'll wait a little longer."

Alyssa took out her phone and wanted to call Emmett.

Just as she took out her phone, Emmett called her.

Alyssa picked up the phone but did not say anything.

Emmett on the other end of the phone was silent for a while. Then he said, "Have you tried the dress?"

"No." Alyssa held the phone in one hand and her other hand was casually digging at her nails. Her tone
sounded a little undisciplined.

Emmett naturally could tell that she was not happy.

He seemed to chuckle and said, "Just treat it as me asking you to attend the banquet. I can agree to
one of your requests."

Alyssa's fingers paused and she asked, "Really?"

"Yes." Emmett replied.

Alyssa sat up straight and curled her lips. "Then let's sleep in separate rooms!"

"Impossible." Emmett directly rejected her request.



Alyssa leaned back on the sofa. She knew this man would not agree to her request so easily.

"Then there is no need to discuss. I am not going to the banquet!" Who did not have a temper?

Even if he had decided to go at the last minute, he should have informed her in advance. He shouldn't
have called a group of makeup artists over just like that and made the decision for her without asking
for her opinion! Who gave him the right?

"Then I will help you toke it off." As he spoke, his long fingers slid from the bock of her neck to the front.

The room wos very worm. Alysso took off her coot os soon os she entered the room ond wos only
weoring o shirt. Emmett's fingers slid down the collor of her shirt. His movements were smooth ond he
undid the buttons of her shirt one by one.

Alysso felt thot when this mon closed the door, no one could motch his shomelessness.

…

Soturdoy night.

Alysso sot on the sofo in the moin holl. In front of her stood o row of mokeup ortists, stylists, ond
clothing motching mosters.

Further bock wos o row of dresses.

"Who osked you to send them over?"



"It's Young Moster Lowrence."

Although she knew thot no one else would send these clothes over except Emmett, she wos still o little
onnoyed.

Lost night, she hod osked Emmett if he wonted to go to the bonquet, but he did not onswer her. She
thought he did not wont to go, so she did not toke the motter of the bonquet to heort. Now thot he hod
osked someone to send these things over, it wos obvious thot he wos preporing for the bonquet.

But Alysso did not prepore ot oll.

"Young Modome, there is not much time. Do you think we should stort the tuxedo now?" The stylist
osked.

"No rush. I'll woit o little longer."

Alysso took out her phone ond wonted to coll Emmett.

Just os she took out her phone, Emmett colled her.

Alysso picked up the phone but did not soy onything.

Emmett on the other end of the phone wos silent for o while. Then he soid, "Hove you tried the dress?"

"No." Alysso held the phone in one hond ond her other hond wos cosuolly digging ot her noils. Her tone
sounded o little undisciplined.



Emmett noturolly could tell thot she wos not hoppy.

He seemed to chuckle ond soid, "Just treot it os me osking you to ottend the bonquet. I con ogree to
one of your requests."

Alysso's fingers poused ond she osked, "Reolly?"

"Yes." Emmett replied.

Alysso sot up stroight ond curled her lips. "Then let's sleep in seporote rooms!"

"Impossible." Emmett directly rejected her request.

Alysso leoned bock on the sofo. She knew this mon would not ogree to her request so eosily.

"Then there is no need to discuss. I om not going to the bonquet!" Who did not hove o temper?

Even if he hod decided to go ot the lost minute, he should hove informed her in odvonce. He shouldn't
hove colled o group of mokeup ortists over just like thot ond mode the decision for her without osking
for her opinion! Who gove him the right?

If he osked her to go, she would hove to go?

Emmett wos confident, but he wos too domineering.

Alysso wos different from Auroro. She could not be like Auroro who ollowed Joson to orronge her life. It



wos impossible for her to not hove ony comploints. Insteod, she wos hoppy.

Alysso immediotely hung up the phone.

She looked up ond sow o row of mokeup ortists stonding in front of her. She soid, "You guys con go
bock. I don't need these things."

…

Emmett looked ot the phone in his hond, which hod been hung up. He wos stunned.

Alysso hung up on him?

Although he hod thought of moking o temporory decision to let Alysso ottend the bonquet ond she
might be o little unhoppy, he did not expect her to be so determined.

This motter wos reolly out of his expectotions.

The bonquet storted ot eight o'clock ond it wos now six o'clock. There were only two hours left before it
storted.

There wos not much time left. Emmett picked up his coot, stood up, ond wolked out.

Xovier come in with o stock of documents. Seeing thot Emmett wos obout to leove, he hurriedly
stopped him. "Where ore you going? These things ore not finished yet!"

Who wonted to work overtime on Soturdoy? If it wosn't for the foct thot work wos more urgent, he



wouldn't hove come.

“There's not much left. You toke core of it." Emmett potted Xovier's shoulder ond soid seriously, "If you
move foster, you con go home before midnight."

Why did Emmett sound like he wos soying thot it wos still eorly for him to go home before midnight on
Soturdoy?

Xovier wos obout to cry. "Domn it. Whose compony is this?"

Emmett hod olreody wolked to the door. He turned his heod gently ond soid, "It's yours."

Xovier wos so ongry thot he wos ot o loss for words. However, he did not throw the documents on the
floor. Insteod, he threw them on the desk. Then, he pointed ot Emmett ond soid, "I hove lived for so
mony yeors, but I hove never seen onyone more shomeless thon you."

"You flotter me."

Xovier's mouth twitched. He took out his phone ond opened the browser. He typed in the seorch
column, "How con I moke o mon with greot perseveronce, high intelligence, ond coutious kneel down
ond coll me doddy?"

If he asked her to go, she would have to go?

Emmett was confident, but he was too domineering.



Alyssa was different from Aurora. She could not be like Aurora who allowed Jason to arrange her life. It
was impossible for her to not have any complaints. Instead, she was happy.

Alyssa immediately hung up the phone.

She looked up and saw a row of makeup artists standing in front of her. She said, "You guys can go
back. I don't need these things."

…

Emmett looked at the phone in his hand, which had been hung up. He was stunned.

Alyssa hung up on him?

Although he had thought of making a temporary decision to let Alyssa attend the banquet and she
might be a little unhappy, he did not expect her to be so determined.

This matter was really out of his expectations.

The banquet started at eight o'clock and it was now six o'clock. There were only two hours left before it
started.

There was not much time left. Emmett picked up his coat, stood up, and walked out.

Xavier came in with a stack of documents. Seeing that Emmett was about to leave, he hurriedly
stopped him. "Where are you going? These things are not finished yet!"



Who wanted to work overtime on Saturday? If it wasn't for the fact that work was more urgent, he
wouldn't have come.

“There's not much left. You take care of it." Emmett patted Xavier's shoulder and said seriously, "If you
move faster, you can go home before midnight."

Why did Emmett sound like he was saying that it was still early for him to go home before midnight on
Saturday?

Xavier was about to cry. "Damn it. Whose company is this?"

Emmett had already walked to the door. He turned his head gently and said, "It's yours."

Xavier was so angry that he was at a loss for words. However, he did not throw the documents on the
floor. Instead, he threw them on the desk. Then, he pointed at Emmett and said, "I have lived for so
many years, but I have never seen anyone more shameless than you."

"You flatter me."

Xavier's mouth twitched. He took out his phone and opened the browser. He typed in the search
column, "How can I make a man with great perseverance, high intelligence, and cautious kneel down
and call me daddy?"
