The bedroom door was pushed open, and Archie didn’t turn on the light. He held Emma in his arms and walked straight to the bed.
Her movements were very gentle. Once she touched the bed, Emma narrowed her eyes and took the initiative to let go of the hand around his neck.
Archie was stunned. He heard a small voice thanking him, “Thank you!”
Immediately after, Emma, who was extremely tired, turned over and hugged the blanket, continuing to sleep.
Archie’s handsome face stiffened. This woman actually pretended to sleep all the way? It was such a waste for him to carry her, little liar.
However, to be able to let her sleep quietly in his arms, this could be considered a huge improvement.
Thinking about it this way, the resentment in his heart that he had been toyed with by her could be considered a huge improvement. Inexplicably, it dissipated. He turned around and walked towards the bathroom.
Emma heard the door closed and finally sat up with a bitter face. On the way back from being carried by Archie just now, she was actually half asleep and half awake. Unable to withstand the heavy sleepiness, she no longer had any backbone and continued to sleep on him.
Anyway, he was her husband, so it would not be too much if she did use him. It should not be too much to let her hug and sleep for a while.
Ten minutes later, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. Archie pulled out a towel and wrapped it around his body before walking out.
He turned on a few lamps. The light in the bedroom was a little dim. He turned around and poured a glass of wine at the small bar. He turned around and saw Emma sitting on the bed. He frowned.
“I’m going to take a shower.” Emma quickly got off the bed and took her personal hygiene items and walked into the bathroom.
Archie stopped her. “Wait a minute!”
“What are you doing?” Emma put the hygiene products on her back and looked at him strangely with her beautiful eyes.
“Come with me to the Wolfleim house tomorrow afternoon. Grandpa Yoseph is celebrating his 70th birthday!” Archie said plainly.
Emma’s beautiful eyes widened. Going to Yoseph’s house?
Thinking about how he coldly refused to help her in the clubhouse today, Emma shook her head in shame. “I won’t go. Anyway, I don’t really like crowded places.”
“You don’t like lively places and still go to the clubhouse to socialize?”
“That’s work. The nature is different.” Emma retorted powerlessly.
Archie, however, elegantly took a sip of wine. He had a tall and perfect figure, with only a towel around his waist.
He was threatening to force his way towards her. Emma was so scared that she swallowed her saliva and said nervously: “What are you doing?”
“The people from the Sandford Family will come tomorrow.” Archie did not want to do anything to her. He just looked down at her.
“The Sandford Family has nothing to do with me.” Emma said with a pout.
“We have just gotten married and it is now the honeymoon period. If you don’t show up, I’m afraid I will lose my face. Not only do I want you to attend the party, I also want you to show off your affection and make the people of the Sandford Family give up.” Archie’s tone gradually became cold, and she couldn’t refuse his order.
“Can I… Not go?” When she thought about how she had a mission with him, and how she will act as if she was in love with Archie, her legs went soft.
“Your grandfather will probably go too. Don’t you want to attend? Can it be justified on account of face?” It was as if Archie always had a way to hit her weak spot.
“Alright, I’ll go. I’ll go. Can I take a shower now?” Emma gritted her teeth. Why did she not have the right to refuse? Yes, she was a chess piece and a pet. She should not even be able to say anything.
After taking a shower, Emma laid back on the bed. She tossed and turned and felt a slight pain in her stomach. She didn’t know what was going on. During the menstruation period, her stomach would occasionally hurt. It seemed to be very normal.
She rubbed her hands and applied the heat on her belly. Unfortunately, the heat quickly subsided.
Just as she wanted to rub her hot hands again, a scalding hot large palm covered her very naturally and completely wrapped around her originally slender abdomen.
Emma’s entire body tensed up as she looked at Archie who was turning over with disbelief. The two of them were very close to each other and their breaths were intertwined.
“I don’t want. . .”
“Don’t move, sleep!” Archie cut off her words in a low voice. Then, he closed his long and narrow eyes.
Emma’s expression was a little conflict, but the hidden pain in her stomach seemed to have disappeared. She did not know if it was because of the temperature of his hot palm, or because he hugged her at such a close distance, it distracted her thoughts.
But no matter what, the credit was all on him. Emma was very speechless.
The next morning, Emma opened her eyes. She slept well last night and wanted to get off the bed but when she saw a pair of dark eyes, she was shocked.
Archie actually did not leave. Not only that, he was still sitting on the bed, as if he was watching her sleep.
“You. . . When did you wake up?” Emma was about to go crazy. Why did this man always do things that made people collapse?
“An hour ago!” Archie answered faintly, pretending not to know what she was going crazy about.
“Then why are you sitting here? You like watching people sleep, don’t you?” Emma’s beautiful eyes were spitting fire. Her sleeping posture must be very indecent.
Archie cast a bored glance at her. “You think too much. I just like to deal with some things in bed.”
Only then did Emma realize that there was an iPad on his bedside table.
She did not know whether what he said was true or not, so she quickly got off the bed and went into the bathroom.
Archie crossed his arms over his chest and stared at the fleeing figure meaningfully. Actually, why was he still lying on the bed and not leaving? He also wanted to know the reason.
However, the faint sunlight that shone through the window just now was like gold that sprinkled on the bedsheets. It contrasted with her snow-like skin and also seemed to embellish the color of peach blossoms. Archie takes a look. He could not move his eyes away, so he directly took the iPad and sat on the bed. He looked at the documents and at her at the same time.
Emma finished washing up and came out. When she heard her phone ringing, she quickly walked over and found that it was Daisy.
She was stunned for a moment before picking it up. As she answered the call, she walked towards the balcony outside the door.
“Emma, you hid it deep enough. I didn’t even realize that you were actually Mrs. Grafton. It was my fault to go over. You are magnanimous, don’t take it to heart. I really realized my mistake.” Daisy had called her early in the morning to admit her mistake. Her tone was intimate and flirtatious, making people unable to get angry even if they wanted to.
However, Emma really did not have a good impression of her, and her tone was also extremely cold. “Director Dai is too polite. You are only doing what a superior must do.”
“Emma!” Daisy called out sweetly, “You are so gentle and magnanimous. You will definitely not be calculative with me. Right?”
Emma knew that Daisy was afraid of Archie and that was why she admitted defeat in front of her. Hence, she also felt a little evil in her heart.
“As long as you change the unfair contract of your company, I will pretend that nothing happened.” A newcomer who hadn’t even had a probationary period yet still had to pay a penalty for breach of contract, this was simply too unreasonable.
