The man’s tall and noble figure had already disappeared, leaving only Emma who had yet to recover from her shock. Her beautiful eyes were wide open. Until the man in her line of sight had completely disappeared.
What did he mean by that sentence just now? If no one wants it, you can come back and find him. Could it be that he wanted a divorced woman?
Isn’t this a bit too ridiculous, treating her as a three-year-old child, she wouldn’t be so naive.
If she really divorced Archie. . .
While Emma was thinking about this in her heart, she could not help but look at the window on the left of the second floor. Her mood was inexplicably stifled.
Just now, she had felt that the people from the Sandford Family did not come with good intentions in the hall. She didn’t know if Archie would be able to deal with that upper-class woman and if that woman was even more powerful.
Emma was a little annoyed. She picked up a small stone from the ground, raised her arm, and threw it into the lake.
Ripples spread out one after another, just like the chaotic thoughts in her heart at this moment.
Just a few days ago, she was even determined to divorce Archie. But now, when it came to divorce, why did she not have that much interest?
Could it be that her willpower had been destroyed by his money and appearance?
Was she not so noble that she could escape his temptation?
Emma’s small face was a little pale. Her two small hands twisted together. Thinking back carefully, besides Archie forcing her to marry at the wedding, the way they got along later was not really that cold and tough.
“Emma, do you regret it? What are you thinking about?” She asked herself but was unable to get an answer.
Archie was indeed a very charming man. He had money, face, and figure. Most importantly, he would occasionally reason with her, trust her, and help her.
“It’s messy, it’s messy! Emma, wake up quickly. Don’t get lost. Why do you always have to count his merits?” Emma was extremely vexed. She felt that she was like a joke right now. Although she said that she wanted to get a divorce, she did not feel that way in her heart.
Just as Emma was having a battle in her mind, the atmosphere in a certain room on the second floor was very stiff and heavy.
Archie sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. He had the aura of a great young master, but his eyes were always cold and indifferent as he looked at the beautiful lady sitting opposite him.
His tone was strong, but also polite. He had fully preserved the good manners and etiquette of the Grafton Family.
Minlan also knew that Archie was a difficult person to deal with. Although he was young, he definitely had the cunning of an old fox.
The two beauties sitting beside Minlan were also filled with strong curiosity towards Archie. Their beautiful eyes were filled with electricity as they glanced at him from time to time.
“Archie, Auntie doesn’t want to make things difficult for you. It’s just that Auntie really hopes that Sandford Family and Grafton Family can be as close as family.” Minlan also had a smile on her face, but it wasn’t warm enough and contained resentment.
Archie was calm and composed, and his tone was also very calm. “Auntie, don’t beat around the bush. If you want our Grafton Family to invest and help uncle elect the next president, I can go back and discuss this matter with my father and grandfather.”
Minlan was shocked. Everyone said that Archie’s mind was deep and unpredictable, cold and sharp. She didn’t expect that she would be able to hide such a good idea. Her guess was right.
Minlan’s face could not hold it any longer. She reached out and picked up the teacup. She took a sip and nodded. “I don’t deny that I have such thoughts. For so many years, the Sandford Family has always been in politics. The country also has a precedent: Political families. Nowadays, society was developing at a rapid pace. Although this rule is ignored again and again, many political families. . . Business activities have started, but in the twenty-plus years that the Sandford Family has been around, After the departure of the two children, they were filled with grief. They didn’t seize the initiative and lost the best opportunity to develop. How could the few big companies be compared to the Grafton Family and Wolfleim Family? We want to have a marriage alliance. It is also pressing on our brows, Archie. You are smart, the Grafton Family is in your hands. In just a few years, it has developed into the economic center of our country. Auntie admires you.”
Archie smiled faintly and said, “Auntie really knows how to put on a high hat for me. I am not as mythical as you say. Of course. What you said is the truth. The economy is the support of all the forces today. I make money, you are an official. Marriage between officials and merchants is a long way to go. This is indeed a very tempting and anticipated result. . . However, there is one thing that you have never considered for me.”
Minlan’s expression changed slightly and she could not help but ask, “What is it? If you say it out, we can have a good talk.”
Archie stood up and walked to the French window with his hands behind his back. He stood up and stared at the window. His voice became cold. “My grandfather is in his sixties. He has been with my grandmother for more than half of his life. He has always been in love with his first love. When he heard that his first love had passed away, He almost couldn’t catch his breath and fell ill. He became a medicine jar. Back then, my father. . . He walked his old path. My mother was so innocent. . . She became a chess piece for the marriage alliance and kept her duty in check. She worked hard to hold the family, but she still couldn’t resist the provocation of her father’s sweetheart. In a fit of anger, she got into a drunk driving car accident. He left me, and now. . . Do you think I will walk the same path again?”
Minlan’s entire body was tense. Her face was pale and her expression was sorrowful.
“Archie, I don’t believe that you really love your wife, that’s why you married her,” Minlan asked him sharply.
Archie chuckled. All of a sudden, A beautiful figure walked into his eyes. She was wearing an ice-blue dress. Her long hair was pulled to the side, and she held a tree branch in her hand. As she walked, she patted the bushes beside her with some resentment. She was cute and also like an elf. He was pure and beautiful, like the sunlight that fell into his eyes. His tone couldn’t help but become firm: “Yes, I love her. I fell in love with her a long time ago.”
Minlan seemed to have been struck by a heavy blow. Her gaze became crafty. Ruthlessly fierce, she asked sarcastically, “Alright. Even if you truly love her, you can still promise that you will marry her. Does she love you as much as you do? Everyone knows that the Grafton Family is rich. You don’t have to worry about her liking your money and not your people. As far as I know, you don’t need to give too many orders to the Quinsley Family.”
Archie’s face turned slightly cold, and his tone became extremely indifferent. “Auntie, the Quinsley Family has raised my wife, so they should at least get more betrothal gifts.”
Minlan said in a mocking tone, “The betrothal gifts should be given. I’m just afraid that the Quinsley Family is a bottomless pit and will not be able to fill it up no matter how hard you fill it up.”
“Auntie doesn’t need to worry about this. Since we are a family and are prepared to share the hardships, I have done enough.” Archie said. He turned around and walked out of the door. “Sorry, I have something to do. Let’s talk another day.”
