Not far away, Emily clenched the glass in her hand tightly, as if she was going to crush it. She gritted her teeth and her eyes were filled with hatred.
Just now, she was mocking Emma for being ignored and abandoned by Archie. Now that she turned around, she was slapped in the face by their love. How could she not be angry and resentful?
Furthermore, Archie had almost become her husband. Now, countless of guests looked at her with ridicule and mocking in their eyes.
Emily was extremely ashamed. Her face was red and hot. She only wished that she could dig a hole and disappear immediately.
And all of this was because of Emma. If it was not for her, she would not be in such a sorry state today. She would become Grafton young mistress and receive the envy of everyone.
But the reality was so cruel. The exchange of identities had revealed the difference in status. No matter how unbearable Emma’s past was, as long as she stood by Archie’s side, no one would dare to point fingers at her and say anything. Not only that, but everyone was also fighting to go over and toast her.
Sure enough, a few beautiful women came over to propose a toast to Emma. Emma could not refuse and reached out to take a glass of wine. Just as she was about to drink, a large hand very domineeringly snatched the glass from her hand. Then, a man’s low and pampered voice sounded, “My wife is in pregnancy. She can’t drink, please forgive her.”
Emma looked at her frozen hand in midair. Her hand was empty and beside her ear was Archie’s sentence about pregnancy. Her small face turned completely red.
When Gustav heard this, he immediately beamed and quickly scolded her, “Emma, you were too careless. You are going to be pregnant, how can you still drink? Hurry up and drink fruit juice.”
“Grandpa, this is not the case. We. . .”
“We’re working hard! We’re just waiting for the flowers to bloom and bear fruit.” Archie cut off what she wanted to explain and said something that was even more difficult to describe. It made Emma so ashamed that she wanted to smash her head to death.
The people beside him were all happy, which made Archie’s handsome face smile even more charmingly. However, Emma, who was in his arms, could only helplessly sigh.
This damn man, when would he consider her feelings? How many times would she have to say it? She did not want to give birth, she did not want to. . .
Not far away, Yoseph’s eyes were so dark that there wasn’t a trace of light in them. He raised his head and drank some wine, but his cold eyes were looking at the group of people.
The complacency on Archie’s face, in contrast to the disappointment on Emma’s face, did not escape Yoseph’s eyes.
All the guests had arrived. The elevator door at the side opened, and Jasson pushed Old Master Wolfleim’s wheelchair and walked out of the elevator.
When he saw the old birthday star appear, Everyone quickly went over to greet him.
After the guests had dispersed, Archie hugged Emma and walked in front of Old Master Wolfleim.
“Grandpa, happy birthday!” Archie smiled and congratulated him.
Although Old Master Wolfleim was old, his eyes were still full of vigor. He looked at Archie and smiled. “Archie, This must be your new wife.”
This was the first time Emma heard such a funny thing. Husband and wife?
Archie immediately smiled shyly and answered, “Grandfather’s judgment is the most accurate. That’s right. She is my newly wedded wife. Emma, quickly greets Grandfather.”
Emma naturally did not dare to neglect and quickly called him grandpa sweetly.
Yoseph did not know when he was standing by the side. When he heard Emma sweetly call him grandpa and that made him so happy, his face became gloomy again.
Old Master Wolfleim kept nodding his head. “Good, very good. Only when you have a family can you start a better career. Yoseph, you should learn from Archie. You should also be at the age of marriage.”
Yoseph’s eyes seemed to sweep across Emma’s face. His expression was indifferent. “Grandfather, today is your birthday. We should talk about something more pleasant.”
“Quickly find someone to marry. Only then will I be happy.” Old Master Wolfleim’s tone became serious.
Jasson understood his son’s temper the most. He quickly lowered his head and smiled as he dismissed the scene. “Dad, Yoseph already has a girlfriend. Don’t worry about it.”
“Oh, really? Who is it?” Archie was the most curious. There was even a hint of a smile on his face.
Just as Jasson was about to speak, he looked up and saw Minlan walking over with her three nieces.
“Brother Yoseph!” A beautiful figure ran over with joy and held Yoseph’s arm naturally.
Old Master Wolfleim saw this and immediately smiled. “Yoseph, hurry up. Don’t miss your good youth.”
Yoseph didn’t hate Monica at first, but when he heard his grandfather’s words, he immediately got an electric shock and pulled his hand away from Monica’s arm.
“Grandfather, I’ll push you over!” Yoseph quickly reached out his hand and snatched the job of his father.
Minlan also went forward to congratulate him. She looked at Emma with a bitter look and sneered in her heart. She would make the Quinsley Family become a bottomless pit. At that time, Archie would definitely be annoyed by the Quinsley Family.
The atmosphere of the following banquet was centered around Old Master Wolfleim’s birthday. Jasson and Yoseph gave their speeches respectively.
As the banquet approached its end, Emma realized that with Archie by her side, she could not even hear a single word of gossip.
This man was like a natural barrier, blocking too much of her eyes and mockery. She could clearly feel his protection, but Kexin still felt uneasy.
It was already past 1 PM when they left the Wolfleim family. Emma was wearing high heels at such a close distance, and her legs were sore. She leaned on the chair and did not want to move.
Archie sat beside her and had just finished making a phone call.
“If your grandfather did not mention it, when are you going to tell me about the banquet tomorrow?” Archie asked her indifferently.
Emma immediately sat up straight. Her beautiful eyes flashed and her tone was somewhat helpless. “I plan to tell you about it tonight. Actually, you can refuse.”
“If you want me to go, I will go!” Archie’s expression was also a little tired. His gaze passed through the window and stared at the waterwheel outside the window. The hustle and bustle were separated, and there was even an indescribable feeling of drowsiness.
Emma was inexplicably touched by his words and her thoughts became even more chaotic. She hooked her long hair by her ear and said, “You don’t need to be so good to me! I’m not used to it.”
“If I don’t go, your grandfather won’t blame you?” Archie said with a mocking tone.
Emma frowned slightly. “Yes, he would definitely blame me, but that is my business.”
“No, it is not your problem. From now on, it will be my problem. Husband and wife are a community, whether in terms of benefits. Or some other chores we should all face together.” In Archie’s tone, There was an irresistible force, this force. . . It struck directly at the heart, causing Emma to be stunned. The gaze that fell on his face could not be retracted for a long time.
Husband and wife? Communal? The strange words were like stones thrown into the lake, rippling in Emma’s heart.
