Chapter 286

Emmett's words shocked Alyssa so much that she couldn’t speak for a long time.

After a while, Alyssa asked him with a puzzled look, "But you said before that you didn’t take my child
away, didn’t you?”

That day when she first questioned Emmett, he immediately denied it.

Alyssa had also wavered and had suspected if she had guessed wrongly.

However, if it wasn't for Emmett, she really could not think of anyone else who would take her child
away from her.

She had some doubts in her heart, but she did not expect Emmett to admit it so directly. He even
threatened her with this.

Emmett still had the same expressionless face, and there was a biting cold look between his brows. "Of
course it's me. Who else would take her away other than me?"

Alyssa pursed her lips tightly and squeezed out some words from between her teeth. "Emmett, you
bastard!"

"So now you better listen to me obediently." As Emmett said, he reached out to touch Alyssa's face.

Alyssa turned her head to avoid his hand and her eyes were filled with disgust.

Emmett's actions of using the child as a hostage still played a role on Alyssa.



In the following month, Alyssa did not cry or make any fuss. She peacefully rested and took good care
of herself.

Other than that, she did not say a word to Emmett.

Although Emmett was angry at Alyssa's coldness, he had never really lost his temper with her.

Even Alyssa admired Emmett for his endurance and patience.

Early in the morning, when they were having breakfast, Emmett suddenly said, "We will return to
Holston City by tomorrow night's plane."

Alyssa heard him and finally spoke to him for the first time in this month, "When we go back, will I be
able to see my child?"

Emmett did not say yes or no but just glanced at her. "You have not even returned yet, but do you want
to strike a bargain with me?”

Alyssa angrily called his name, "Emmett Lawrence!"

Emmett lowered his eyes and slowly cut the eggs on his plate. His voice did not contain any emotion.
"You do not have the right to negotiate with me."

Alyssa clenched her fists and stared at Emmett. She could not say a word.

The next night, Alyssa and Emmett boarded the plane back to Holston City.



The plane arrived at Holston City International Airport on the morning of the third day.

Neither of them informing anyone that they were returning, but they still saw Xavier and Hazel at the
airport.

Hazel had been a little busy for the past half year so she was tired, but she looked very energetic.

"Alyssa, welcome back." Hazel walked over excitedly and gave Alyssa a tight hug.

Alyssa reached out to hug her and patted her back.

After Hazel let go of her, she carefully looked at Alyssa from head to foot and said with a frown, "Why
do you look so thin?"

She remembered when she and Alyssa had a video call, before Alyssa had the baby, her spirit and
complexion were not bad.

When she gave birth, Emmett had sent people to take care of her. How could she become thinner as
they took care of her?

Alyssa forced a smile and asked, "Is that so?"

Hazel also noticed that Alyssa's expression was not quite right. Alyssa was a new parent but there was
not the slightest joy of being a mother between her brows.

She thought back to recently when she called Alyssa and said that she wanted to turn on the video to



watch the baby, but Alyssa covertly and perfunctorily refused her request.

"What happened? Where is the baby?" Hazel looked around as she spoke.

Emmett and Alyssa were followed by a group of bodyguards, but there was no sign of the child.

No one answered Hazel's question.

Because no one could answer.

Emmett slightly frowned and reached out to pull Alyssa's hand as he walked out of the airport.

Alyssa resisted a little and wanted to break free, but Emmett's hand was too strong. The more she
struggled, the tighter he squeezed her hand. His strength was so great that it seemed like he would
almost break the bones of her hand.

She was not let go until she was thrown into the car by Emmett.

Once she got into the car, Alyssa said coldly, "Emmett, why don't you tell Hazel that you took the child
away? Do you also know that you are guilty?"

Emmett was not affected by her at all. His expression was indifferent, without any sadness or joy.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the two of them were sitting close to each other, Alyssa would have
suspected that Emmett might not have heard what she said.

No matter what she said, Emmett did not react at all.



It was as if he didn’t have ears and couldn’t listen to her at all.

In the end, she was tired of talking. Then the car was quieted down.

The car was driven into a high residential area in Holston City.

Most of the people who could afford to live here were either rich or noble.

Alyssa only wanted to see her child now, so she could only accept Emmett's arrangement.

Emmett took her to his apartment without saying a word.

There was not much furniture in the apartment. Apart from sofa and TV, there was not even a dining
table. The room was not popular at all.

"Sit." Emmett pushed Alyssa onto the sofa and turned around to pour a glass of water for her.

Alyssa took the water and took a sip. She then asked, "When are you going to let me see my child?”

Emmett stared at her for a long time before he said, "If I don't let you see the child for the rest of your
life, will you talk to me like this forever?"

"Yes." Without any hesitation, Alyssa gave an affirmative answer.

Emmett's face instantly became gloomy.



In Alyssa's heart, was the child more important than him?

Emmett sneered. "Then don't even think about seeing her anymore."

Although Emmett was kind sometimes, he was a ruthless and indifferent person most of the time.
Alyssa did not doubt the truth of his words at all.

"Emmett, don't be like this. Shall we have a good talk?"

Alyssa was really afraid. Even her voice became hoarse. "I am back now. I will not run away anymore.
But my child is still too young. She is only a month old and she should grow up by her mother's side.
You let me see her and let me take care of her, okay?"

As she finished speaking, her voice began to chok and her eyes turned red.

Alyssa's heart was extremely uncomfortable.

As long as she thought of her daughter who was only a month old and that her whereabouts were still
unknown, her heart would feel very uncomfortable.

Would the ones that took her baby away take good care of her daughter like a biological mother?

Would her daughter be disliked and neglected by others because she loved to cry too much and then
abused?

People said that women who became mothers would become strong.



However, the stronger she was, the more fragile she was.

Alyssa could not help feeling sad whenever she thought of about her child.

Her daughter was still so young…

She only had seen her baby once…

Alyssa saw that Emmett did not speak and reached out to hold his hand. Her face was full of pleading,
"Please let me take care of her…"

Her red eyes were full of tears. It was as if tears would spill out of her eyes in the next moment.

Emmett only took one look of her and then turned his head to look somewhere else.

His throat moved with difficulty, but he forcefully swallowed back the words that were about to come out
of his mouth.

He even had a bit of hope that he could think of such a despicable method to force Alyssa to come
back.

At least when she was so sad, he could return the child to her and make her happy.

But now, he could only watch her sadness helplessly.
