Emily’s high profile made Emma somewhat depressed.
However, Emily’s beauty was also something that everyone could see with their own eyes.
“Jimmy is my friend. He has made a very deep friend since he was young. I will not feel any heartache when you are with him. As long as he feels it, I will not feel any pain. Hello, you two can be happy together. This is also the result that I am happy to see. . .”
“Emma, shut up. Who are you trying to disgust? Didn’t you want to say that Jimmy and I are a good match, but you are a good match for Archie? Aren’t you being too hypocritical by raising yourself up in the open and in the dark?” Emily immediately scolded and ridiculed Emma for having ulterior motives.
Emma was stunned. Emily was so sensitive. She just wanted to persuade her to properly manage her relationship with Jimmy but she thought that she was showing off her identity.
Since she did not like to hear these words, Emma also did not want to say anything. She carried the plate and planned to find some more delicious food.
Emily fiercely stared at her back view and her tone was sharp. “Emma, do you still want a face? Last time at the wedding, so many people admired your bed photo. Why do you still have the face to come out? Now? here?”
Emma’s back stiffened and her eyes became misty. Emily’s words were like two blades that mercilessly stabbed into her heart, making her feel extremely pained.
Putting down the plate, Emma panicked and ran into a side door. When she went out, she found that this was the back garden of the Wolfleim Family.
At this moment, all the servants were helping in the main hall. Therefore, this place was very quiet, and no one was walking around.
Emma was in a low mood. She reached out her hand and pulled a leaf. She violently twisted it, pulled it, threw it away, pulled another leaf, and continued to repeat.
When her mood slowly calmed down, she found that she had walked to the side of an artificial lake. There were still fish in the clear lake water.
Emma picked a stone chair and sat down. The sun above her head was shining down, making her dizzy.
Separated by a beautiful forest, she could still hear the melodious sound of a violin coming from the front hall.
“What are you thinking about?” Suddenly, in the silence, a clear male voice sounded.
Emma was shocked. She looked up and saw Yoseph in an iron-grey suit standing under the tree.
“Why are you here?” Emma suddenly asked him in a panic.
Yoseph walked over slowly and sneered. “Don’t you think your words are unnecessary? This is my home. Why can’t I be here?”
Emma instantly became speechless. Yes, it was her who was funny.
“Are you still thinking about how to divorce Archie? Have you thought of a way?” Yoseph sat down beside her. His gloomy eyes reflected the ripples of the lake water, making his eyes even more unfathomable.
Emma lowered her head and buried her face in her palm. She shook her head and said, “No, I’m still thinking!”
“Give me a reason why you must leave.” Yoseph’s voice became a little low. He turned his gaze over and focused on her body.
Emma was slightly stunned. She moved her hands away and her beautiful eyes met his eyes. Her heart trembled.
“If you can convince me, I will help you. I will help you unconditionally!”
Yoseph’s words made Emma’s entire body freeze. Her beautiful eyes widened and she found it hard to believe. “Why are you helping me?”
“Don’t you have something on me? Was this reason sufficient?”
“But you already said last time, no matter how big the matter is, you can suppress it. I believe you also have the ability.” Emma was also not that easy to deceive and lightly mocked.
Yoseph’s expression was embarrassed for a moment, but very quickly, it returned to normal, and he said coldly: “You must have heard the conversation between me and Archie just now. The token in Sandford Family’s hand can cause our two families to fall into a deadlock.”
Emma was stunned for a moment, then she lowered her head. “What? Yes, I heard it.”
Yoseph’s tone became more serious. “For the sake of the Grafton Family’s interests, I think Archie marrying a woman from the Sandford Family will be better for his and the Grafton Family’s future.”
This reason seemed to be very sufficient, and Emma couldn’t help but believe it.
“In the end, you aren’t helping me, but the Grafton Family?” Emma smiled bitterly.
Yoseph narrowed his eyes. “Is there a difference? Isn’t your goal to get a divorce? Now, can you tell me why you have to get a divorce?”
“I don’t know, and there’s no reason. I just. . . don’t want to accept my arranged life, even though I said so. You will definitely scold me for not knowing what’s good for me and not knowing what’s not good for me. Actually, this question. . . I have also repeatedly thought about the benefits of marrying Archie. I can’t count on one day and one night, but the disadvantages of getting a divorce with him. . . I’m afraid there is only one, and that is to be treated as a fool. I don’t care anymore, anyway. . .” Emma could not help but say loyally. At the end of her sentence, she didn’t know what to say. She hesitated and looked at the lake water blankly.
“What do you think?” Yoseph asked.
“You don’t need to care about what I plan to do. As long as it doesn’t involve the Quinsley Family and doesn’t make things difficult for my grandfather, Archie will take the initiative to divorce me. I will definitely agree to it.” Emma also wanted to find a reason to convince herself and Yoseph, but she sadly found that there was no reason.
“If you really divorce Archie, won’t you regret it?” Yoseph could not help but look at her in a different light. One should know that no woman had the courage to divorce Archie. He was such a perfect and excellent man. In terms of wealth and looks, even he would lose to him. Emma’s brain would not be flooded with water, right?
“I don’t want to think about the things that I won’t regret later.” Emma was a little embarrassed and angry. She clenched her small hands into fists. “If your life is suddenly changed and you continue to develop in a direction where you don’t have a sense of security, you will also be afraid. I don’t like to have no sense of security.”
“I thought you had gotten used to living a life without a sense of security. You were born in the Quinsley Family, and you still haven’t accepted your fate?” Yoseph laughed mockingly.
Emma felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her head. It was so cold that she shivered and stood up. “Yes, it is because I have lost a sense of security since I was young that I do not wish to live such a life in the future.”
“Then who do you think will give you a sense of security? Can you do it yourself?” Yoseph mercilessly provoked her.
Emma hooked her cheeks and her hair that was messed up by the wind. “I don’t know. If we get divorced, I will go overseas to find my mother. I haven’t seen her for more than 20 years. Maybe after I see her, I will go and find my father again.”
Yoseph looked at the loss and disappointment in her eyes. His heart unexpectedly hurt for no reason. Then, he coldly questioned, “Have you never thought about why your mother hasn’t seen you? Maybe. . . Your birth was not the result she wanted.”
Emma suddenly felt as if she was struck by lightning and froze into a statue. The sadness in her eyes was spreading until her eyes became sore. “Don’t speak nonsense. Perhaps my mother. . . She has formed a new family and does not wish to be disturbed by me. But I promise that I will not disturb her.”
“Emma, if. . . you divorce and fulfill your wish, or if no one wants it, come and find me!” Yoseph suddenly stood up and looked down at her. He turned around and spoke in a light voice that made it hard to tell if it was true or not.
