Emma sat on the sofa with her pillow in her arms. Her mind was filled with thoughts of what had just happened. The atmosphere downstairs was tense.
Archie’s father was furious at first glance. He did not know how Archie would explain in order to get his understanding and forgiveness.
It was really sad when he thought about how he had never seen the elders of the Grafton Family after marrying into the Grafton Family.
She was lost in her thoughts. The bedroom door was pushed open from the outside. The tall figure of a man stood at the door. His gloomy eyes were glued to her body.
Emma was shocked and quickly stood up. She hugged the pillow tighter in her arms.
“Is your father very angry?” She could not help but ask him.
She didn’t know what was going on. She just wanted to know what had happened downstairs.
“Yes!” Archie replied plainly, and Emma trembled again.
“Then how did you explain it to your father?” Emma continued to ask him guiltily. Her heart was in turmoil and it was unknown what she was thinking.
“My father did not listen to my explanation at all. He only asked us to divorce as soon as possible.” Archie said as his pair of cold and sharp eyes locked onto her small face. He did not want to let go of any subtle expression on her face.
“Ah. . .” Emma lifted her small face, her face full of astonishment.
Archie’s gaze swept across her face. Very well, hearing the word divorce, she no longer had that kind of excitement.
“Didn’t you always want to divorce me? If my father pressures me, perhaps I will make you feel at ease.” Archie pretended to be cold and sneered. His tall body slowly approached her. “Answer me. Do you really want to divorce me?”
Emma’s heart was completely in chaos. It was as if she had been thrown into a rock. Ripples appeared around her, and she could no longer calm down.
“Yes, I won’t deny it. If you can divorce me, I will be very happy.” Emma lowered her head in panic. She used her long hair to cover her expression and spoke in a low voice.
“If you divorce me, you will be able to sleep with your first love. You should be happy.” Archie’s face turned dark for some reason. His tone was full of sarcasm and jealousy.
Emma could not help but take two steps back. She looked at his cold and handsome face in panic. She bit her lower lip and shook her head. “No, even if we divorce, I will not look for Jimmy. We are not lovers to begin with. It will be even more impossible in the future.”
“Are you afraid that he will dislike you for being second-hand goods? Or are you feeling inferior? Do you feel that you are not worthy of him?” Archie suddenly stretched out his large palm and grabbed her wrist, pulling her towards him.
Emma was hit by his words, and her body was even more violently thrown into his arms, causing some additional pain.
“No, I’m not as unbearable as you say. Why must I find another man after I divorce? Can’t I live alone? It’s not like I can’t live without men.” Emma somewhat stubbornly retorted his words.
Archie was stunned. Her words were also not unreasonable.
It was because he was too narrow-minded. He was so jealous that he almost lost his mind. He only thought about her and other men.
“Alright, even if you don’t provoke other men, with your innocent face, I don’t believe that no man will take the initiative to seduce you.” Archie could always say something to make Emma unhappy.
Emma felt that he was baffled. She shook his hand away and took a step back. “Have you said enough? When are we going to settle the formalities?”
Archie only made a joke with her. He did not expect her to take it seriously. His handsome face immediately turned green again.
“Are you really that impatient to leave me?” Archie was angry and very embarrassed.
Emma was shocked. He was the one who brought up the divorce. Why did he change his mind now? And he blamed her instead?
“Didn’t you say that your father wanted us to divorce as soon as possible? Are you playing with me?” Emma felt that trust between people was so difficult. Divorce was such a serious matter, but Archie actually joked with her?
Archie mocked. “That’s right, I lied to you for fun. I like to see your disappointed expression.”
“Are you crazy? No one would be as boring as you!” Emma was so angry that her face turned red.
“Yes, I am just bored.” Archie accepted the scolding frankly. After that, he whispered into her ear and gritted his teeth. “You want to divorce me? In your next life, you will follow me obediently in this life and forget about the word divorce.”
Emma was stunned. She didn’t expect Archie to say such terrifying words.
“I can choose not to divorce, but I don’t believe you can really bear with me for the rest of your life. My temper is not that good. If you provoke me, I will bite you too.” Emma shouted angrily.
“Bite me? Oh, I forgot that you have another mouth. Didn’t you like to bite me? A very comfortable type.” Archie suddenly became extremely evil and dirty.
Emma felt a chill run down her spine. Oh my god, she could no longer happily chat with this man.
Archie saw that his teasing makes her face turned red and she did not say anything. He could only restrain his playful attitude. He said faintly. “Don’t worry. I will handle this matter. It won’t involve you.”
Emma was stunned and turned around to glare at him. “It has nothing to do with me to begin with. It was you who forced me to marry you.”
Archie sighed and touched her little head helplessly. “Alright, don’t be angry. Can’t even a yellow joke be made between husband and wife? Let’s go downstairs and eat. We’ll sleep early tonight. Don’t we still have to go to the Quinsley Family to eat tomorrow?”
Emma kept her anger without any backbone and actually turned around and walked downstairs.
Heavens, what happened to her? Why did she no longer have that feeling of hatred and injustice?
Could it be because Archie mentioned the matter of going to the Quinsley Family tomorrow? So she compromised?
Archie followed behind her and went down the stairs together. His eyes fell on her thin and weak body.
If he didn’t follow her back to the Quinsley Family tomorrow, she might be bullied and ostracized in the Quinsley Family.
He was the only one who could bully this woman. If anyone said anything wrong to her, he was sure that person would look worse than death.
During dinner, Emma only took a few bites before putting down her chopsticks.
Archie frowned and said, “Have another bowl of rice. You are too thin. For the sake of our next generation, you better treat your body to the best condition.”
Emma tensed up. Did this guy want to tell her about the child again?
“I can’t eat it anymore. My stomach hurts!” Emma made up a reason and did not want to be forced to eat.
Archie narrowed his eyes and immediately said to Uncle Suan, “Young mistress’s stomach hurts. Call a doctor at home to take a look at her.”
Uncle Suan naturally replied. Emma saw that her lie was about to be exposed and quickly shouted, “Alright, I will eat another bowl. Don’t trouble the doctor.”
