Chapter 4
CEO's Substitute Bride
The black car stopped in front of Mooreâs Villa.
Alyssa was about to unfasten the seat belt when Emmett suddenly leaned over. Before she could even
react, his slender and beautiful fingers, he pressed lightly on the dark buckle of the seat belt. The seat
belt was immediately released with a slight snap.
His face was handsome and compelling and was getting closer to her. As they faced each other,
Alyssaâs mind was settled and was as still as water. She couldnât help but blush when she looked at his
face and there was a trace of confusion in her glassy eyes.
This manâs face was pretty enough to attract any woman he wanted. Whether old or young, she was
hundred percent sure that theyâd all fall victim to this manâs charm.
However, as soon as Alyssa remembered what he had done yesterday, her look returned to normal.
He was nothing but a rich and nasty young kid who coveted his sister-in-law, like a spoiled child who
wanted what he couldnât get.
She lifted her head and adjusted her glasses. Her face showed little emotion and she said, âIâm getting
off.â
Interesting.
Emmett narrowed his eyes and there was a look of anger in his deep black eyes.
Alyssa was keenly aware of this change and tried to get out of the car. As she was about to open the
car door and get off, an arm caught her hand and grabbed her.
He was strong, with his long arms across her. Looking from the outside, it almost seemed like he was
holding her in an embrace.
Through her glasses, he looked straight at her eyes which were as clear as water, and said
deliberately, âI took you home, donât I deserve a âthank youâ?â
Alyssa lowered her head, flinching a little and whispered, âThank you.â
If the people of Moore family see her like this, they would usually leave her alone. She hoped âJustinâ
would feel the same and just back off.
After all, she was supposed to engaged to Emmett, not his cousin. She still needed to give her
husband some face, willing or not! Justin could just go and screw himself! Didnât he know normal
etiquette?
Emmett looked at her slightly closed pink lips and his face got darker. He said softly, âIt seems your
appreciation is insincere. I guess I have to take that âthanksâ myself.â
Although her face was uneven and spotty, there was something about her lips that pulled him in.
With the thought, he leaned over and kissed her lips.
As he was kissing her, he thought, sheâs my legitimate wife. Why should I hide my desire to kiss her?
Alyssa could not even comprehend what was happening. One minute ago, she was close to bite his
head off, and now, she could feel an icy surface slamming against her lips.
She stared at the enlarged face in front of her eyes, reaching out to push him away, only to find that her
hands had been clasped tightly.
Emmett was very satisfied with her reaction. He reached out a hand and took off her glasses to reveal
her clear and bright eyes.
Her having no glasses was far more pleasing to the eyes.
Her face turned red from anger, and she could feel her hands clenching to her sides. She still hadnât
given up in struggling against him.
This man was too presumptuous to dare treat her this way at the door of her familiesâ house! Didnât he
have any shame? Didnât he feel sorry for his cousin at least?
When the kiss ended, he left her lips but still wanted more.
âThat was great, I should try that again once thereâs a chance.â He thought.
After coming back to his sense, he said in a commanding voice, âDonât wear glasses anymore.
Otherwise, I will kiss you every time I see you.â
He deliberately lowered the volume of his voice to make his point. His eyes were checking over her
entire body unscrupulously.
He was like some kind of ferocious beast marking his territory and sizing up his prey.
âWhat theâ¦â Before Alyssa could call him out on this, a female voice broke the silence in the car.
âAlyssa?â
Alyssa heard the words and turned her head to look out of the half-open car window. She gasped.
Auroraâs eyes widened in shock, half surprised and half angry, âWhat are you doing here?â
Alyssa clasped her hands tightly, a flash of anxiety flashed in her eyes.
Of all the people who couldâve seen her, it was her mother!
On the first day of her marriage, a strange man hitting on her, in front of her house⦠it was hard to
defend.
Despite all that was happening, Aurora also had to maintain her dignity. She looked around and saw
Alyssa, and said, âCome here.â
Knowing that she had no other choice, Alyssa stepped out of the car. Although her face appeared
impassive, her lips remained swollen as a reminder of their last activity. Her cheeks remained flushed
red as well.
As soon as she got out of the car, Aurora wasted no more time and pulled her into the villa.
Unexpectedly, Emmett leaned his head out of the car window, and sinfully rubbed his lips with his
fingers, saying casually, âMy sister-in-law, I will wait for you to come back.â
