The man’s strong body was like an unshakable wall pressing down on her, and she couldn’t even move.
Somewhat annoyed, Emma’s eyes angrily stared straight into his deep and cold eyes, “Archie, can you let me go first? I can explain everything to you clearly.”
Emma was not used to being so close to him. His hot breath, his masculine hormones, all of them stirred her heart and made her unable to think.
Archie looked at her stubborn and aggrieved black eyes and felt even angrier. What did she feel wrong about?
The frost on his face did not retreat, but his strong body loosened his grip a little. Perhaps it was because she was currently in the menstruation period and her stomach would really hurt.
Damn it, she had already carried him on her back to flirt with her first love, why would he care if her stomach hurt?
Archie even wanted to look down on himself.
The pressure on her body was lifted. Emma powerlessly propped up her body and leaned against the back of the sofa. Her eyes turned red.
“Didn’t you want to explain clearly? Why didn’t you make a sound?” Archie was waiting for her to take the initiative to speak when he saw her red eyes remain silent. She reminded her in an unfriendly tone.
Emma took a breath and said with a hint of sobbing, “I also met him on the day of the interview. He was always overseas before. When he went to work the next day, I found that he was already my superior. I really did not betray you.”
Archie stared at her pitiful and aggrieved look and his expression was cold. He said lightly. “Alright, I believe you!”
“Uh. . .” Emma found it hard to believe that he would actually believe her.
She thought that a conceited, aloof, and arrogant man like him would deny everything.
“And then? Did he take the initiative to look for you, or did you take the initiative to look for him?” Archie was more concerned about what would happen after they met.
Emma was stunned for two seconds and lowered her head. “He was very angry that I married you. I explained it to him, but he still refused to forgive me.”
“It sounds like you are very disappointed.” Archie mocked.
Emma’s feelings were complicated and messy, but she had to refute for herself when she was mocked by Archie. “I am not disappointed. I am just. . . Sorry to him. He has been waiting for me.”
“What about you? You have also been waiting for him?” Archie’s expression became even uglier.
It could not be denied that Archie’s words had hit Emma’s weakness. She did not deny it either. “If you did not shamelessly use me to take revenge on the Quinsley Family, I would have waited for him to return.”
Archie locked onto her angry face and narrowed his eyes. “Now that it has come to this. You are already my wife. I hope you can draw a line between you and your predecessor. It doesn’t matter whether he took the initiative to pester you or you don’t forget about him. From this moment on, you will cut off everything. If I find out that you are looking for him behind my back and playing with him, I’ll make you regret it beyond your reach.”
Emma did not dare to question Archie’s warning and could only speak with resentment with teary eyes. “Don’t worry. I will keep a distance from him.”
“Don’t just talk about it. What I want to see is actual action. From tomorrow onwards, you’re not allowed to go to work again. You will stay at home to do your Mrs. Grafton. If you are really bored, I will give you a job. I promise you that I will let you do whatever you want. Your talent will not be wasted.” Archie was overbearing and didn’t have any friends, but what he said was true. He still took care of her self-esteem and emotions.
Emma’s beautiful eyes widened. She thought that she had been caught by Archie today. There was only one way left for her.
However, she did not expect that Archie only taught her a few lessons and warned her. He even said that he would give her a job and that he would not bury her talent. What was this man playing at?
Emma could not guess what Archie was thinking and could only think for a while before answering, “I can not stop work in Miuccia International, and I will not be stuck at home and dissociate with this society.”
Archie stared at her for a few seconds and said indifferently, “As long as you agree to give birth, I can give you freedom.”
Emma felt her scalp tighten. Her whole body turned cold. Her beautiful eyes stared at him with some resentment. “Archie, can you not mention about the child? How many times do I have to tell you before you can listen to me? I can’t have a child now. I’m not mentally prepared.”
“If you don’t give birth, our marriage will be in danger, understand?” Archie suddenly approached her again. A low heat breath sprayed on her ears. That heat seemed to want to merge into her heart. Emma could not stop her heart from trembling.
“What do you mean?” Emma suppressed the small excitement in her heart and pretended to ask curiously.
“If we divorce, the Quinsley Family will not be able to get a single order. Do you want to watch your grandfather’s hard work collapse?” Archie’s lips curved up. He was mean and evil at the same time. He wanted to deal with this little girl. He had many ways to deal with her.
Sure enough, Emma’s face changed. It was a little pale, and her beautiful eyes were filled with panic and helplessness. It made Archie speak even more hoarsely. “If you divorce me, how will your grandfather explain it? You will become a little orphan. No family will take you in anymore, except me!”
His words, one word at a time, were like nailed into her heart. Emma only felt her entire body go cold, so cold that she wanted to hug herself.
“Don’t say anymore, I beg you!” She really could not bear such a blow. Within Emma’s beautiful eyes, there was fog as she sadly begged him.
Archie saw that she was frightened, so he could only keep his cold tone. He said lightly. “Even if I don’t say it, you know the pros and cons of it. Frankly speaking, we are a business marriage, and you are the chess piece placed by the Quinsley Family by my side.”
“Can you let me catch my breath and have another child? How long have we been married? Don’t force me like this!” Tears fell from the corners of her eyes. Emma begged him and her voice broke.
Archie saw it. His heart inexplicably tightened. His slender fingers reached over and wiped away the tears on her face. “Why are you crying? I’m here, aren’t I?”
His seemingly gentle words did not make Emma feel any comfort. He was clearly a demon who acted like a hooligan. It was him, but now he was pretending to be a good person. She did not care.
“The people of Sandford Family are forcing me to marry a woman from their family. Why should I be manipulated?” Archie suddenly spoke in a cold voice, as if he was explaining his difficulties.
Emma stopped crying and looked at him in surprise. Archie continued to sneer, “When I was five years old, I was told that I was going to marry a daughter of Sandford Family when I grew up. How innocent am I? Why can’t I marry a woman I like? Do I need to marry a woman from Sandford Family?”
Emma was slightly stunned. Archie suddenly mentioned the Sandford Family. Was he not going to hide it from her?
“You. . . You have an engagement since a child?” Emma followed his words and asked.
She was smart enough to pretend that she did not know about this.
Archie nodded indifferently. “Yes, I have been engaged since I was young, but that is a matter between my father and the Sandford Family’s parents. It has nothing to do with me.”
Emma suddenly remembered that he had picked up the phone last night. Could it be his parents? They said that the Sandford Family was forcing him to divorce her.
