Emma immediately gave up on the idea of rushing forward. Yoseph seemed to have a very important job to do. It seemed that today was not a suitable day.
She was a little discouraged. She waited for more than an hour before waiting for him to appear and gave up just like that. It was really a pity. This meant that she had to come back tomorrow.
Tasya… Tasya, I’m going all out for you.
Emma carried her small backpack and was about to leave. Just as she walked to the entrance of the hall, her small head suddenly bumped into someone.
Emma was shocked and quickly apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose. Are you alright?”
“Emma?” A surprised male voice came from the top of her head. It was obviously very surprised.
Emma lifted her head in surprise and saw Yoseph, who should have left, holding the phone with one hand. He looked like he was talking to someone. When he called her name, he hung up the phone in the next second.
“You haven’t left yet?” Emma suddenly felt very embarrassed. She deliberately stayed for a few minutes before coming out. She was afraid that she would bump into Yoseph and disturb his work. It would not be good.
“Looking for me?” Yoseph’s eyes lit up a little. He did not expect Emma to come specially to find him.
Emma nodded. Since it was such a coincidence that they bumped into each other again, she should hurry up and send the gift out first.
“Yes, I have something to discuss with you.” Emma took off her backpack and reached into it. As she took it, she said, “I have something to give to you.”
Yoseph’s handsome face was covered with a layer of joy. When he saw Emma’s small hand take out an exquisite gift box, he was slightly shocked.
“Take it well. It is for you. It is from my friend. . .”
“President Yoseph, the meeting will start in fifteen minutes. It’s too late.” The assistant hurried over to remind Yoseph.
Yoseph took the gift box from Emma in his hand. His voice was low and soft. “I will take the gift first. I will contact you later.”
Emma did not expect to be cut off by the assistant who walked over before she could finish her sentence. When she saw Yoseph turn around and get into the car, she froze. In the next moment, she wanted to chase after him and explain. Unfortunately, the black car left very quickly.
Emma was dumbfounded. She stood rooted to the ground and gasped for breath. “Why don’t you let me finish my words?”
Yoseph’s expression and tone just now definitely meant that Emma was the one who gave him the gift. No, she had to explain it clearly. Otherwise, this would be a huge misunderstanding.
Emma turned around and ran to the front desk. She smiled and asked the beauty at the front desk for Yoseph’s contact details.
“Miss, you are so funny. How do we know President Yoseph’s contact details?”
“That’s right. If you want to chase after President Yoseph, you don’t need to be so direct.”
“I think she just gave something to President Yoseph. One look and I can tell that she is infatuated with him.”
Emma was somewhat embarrassed by their strange gazes. She could only give up and walk out of the Wolfleim Family hall.
Yes, she was too ridiculous. How could Yoseph’s private phone be easily known?
Emma returned to the commercial street worriedly. After contacting the driver, she prepared to return to the Grafton Family.
She had just gotten in the car not long ago. When her grandfather called, Emma’s heart skipped a beat.
Her grandfather was looking for her. Could it be that there was something that needed to trouble Archie again?
“Grandfather, you are looking for me?” Emma perked up and answered the phone.
“Emma, do you have time to return to Quinsley Family? I took some good tea leaves. Help me send some to Young Master Grafton.” Gustav said in a deep voice.
“Grandpa, do you have something to ask of him again?” How could Emma not know her grandfather? Since he had said this, he must have something to ask of him again.
“It’s still you who understands your grandfather. It’s like this. Grandpa’s shipment has been blocked by customs, and Grandpa has been away for a long time. It’s useless.” Gustav sounded a little depressed, but he was more angry. “Customs cards are tight now. Grandpa urgently needs that batch of goods to be put on the production line. This kind of small matter was just a matter of a few words to Archie. Ask him to help.”
“Grandpa, I’ll have to trouble him to help me every few days. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate?” Emma was also very troubled.
“What do you mean by inappropriate? You are his wife. If you say so, how could he not help you?” Gustav did not like her pessimistic attitude.
Emma sighed. “Grandpa, you have overestimated my position in Grafton Family. Archie and I do not have a good relationship.”
“What did grandpa tell you? I asked you to cater to him and use a more sophisticated approach. You should be more considerate and care about him. How can you not have a good relationship with him? I think you have a stubborn temper. Since young, you have always been the same. You don’t know how to be flexible. You are now young mistress of the Wealthy Class. You will have to face many things in the future. If you do not study and improve, you will not know how to deal with interpersonal relationships. You will still be the one suffering.” Gustav had never liked her straight line of thought since she was young. In this aspect, she really could not compare to Emily.
After Emma received a scolding, her expression was somewhat pale. She did not dare to say any more words of rejection and could only nod her head and agree first. “Then I will go back and try. If Archie does not help, grandpa will think of another way.”
“You ask him to help first. He will definitely help.” Gustav had placed all his hopes on her.
After hanging up the phone, Emma’s mood fell. She did not know when this trap of Quinsley Family would end. She also did not know how much patience Archie had left to endure her and Quinsley Family’s repeated requests.
When she thought of these unreasonable requests, Emma’s heart couldn’t help but tremble. Perhaps when Archie no longer wanted to help her and the Quinsley Family, it would be the time when their marriage disbanded.
It was really strange. A few days ago, they were still insisting on divorce. Why now. . . The thought of divorce was getting fainter and hard?
Was it because of Archie’s help when she was sick last night?
Emma’s heart was in a mess. She still let the driver make a turn and go to the Quinlsey Family. Gustav handed the good tea leaves that he had prepared to her and told her, “Emma, please beg Young Master Grafton. He will definitely not be heartless.”
“I know, grandpa. I will try my best.” Emma replied softly. She took the tea leaves and sat in the car.
When they returned to the Grafton Family, It was already past two o’clock in the afternoon. Uncle Suan anxiously asked her, “Young mistress, have you had lunch?”
Emma shook her head in embarrassment, “Not yet. I went back to Quinsley Family to get some things.”
“Then I will prepare something to eat for you!” Uncle Suan quickly gave instructions. Soon, lunch that was steaming hot was brought to the table.
Emma was eating delicious food. Her beautiful eyes subconsciously looked at the spacious and exquisite dining hall that was like a palace. In the past, she had always thought that the life of a wealthy family was not only glamorous on the outside but also indifferent to favors. However, ever since she met the serious and responsible Uncle Suan, she realized that although the house was empty, it was also filled with warmth.
After lunch, Emma sat on the balcony chair on the second floor and basked in the sun. The sun was warm and cozy, making people feel very comfortable.
The phone on the side suddenly rang. Emma was startled and reached out to take a look. It was Archie.
She did not dare to delay and quickly answered.
“Did you take your medicine on time?” The man asked her indifferently.
“I ate it!” Emma answered softly.
“If you feel any discomfort, ask Uncle Suan to find you a doctor,” Archie was afraid that she would be sick, so he did not say anything. He could only remind her.
Emma nodded. “I feel much better. I will get better after eating a few more meals of medicine.”
“Your body is too weak. You need to take good care of yourself. You should cooperate with the food Uncle Suan prepared for you. Don’t be picky, understand?” Archie lazily leaned on his office chair, but he was like a naggy old mother. He cared about her very little and the style was really not harmonious.
“I know. I also hope that I can be healthier.” Emma did not dare to refuse. It was such a good thing, and she was grateful.
“We will go out for dinner tonight. You prepare a bit and I will come back to pick you up.” This was the main point of Archie’s call. He wanted to ask her out for dinner.
Emma was stunned for a moment. “Okay!”
After hanging up the phone, Emma stared at the phone in a trance. She did not know if it was her misconception, but she did not dislike being with Archie like this.
Doesn’t it feel like two lovers are in love?
Emma trembled for no reason. She bent her fingers and knocked on her head twice. “Emma, what are you thinking? Are you dating Archie? Are you crazy?”
She had promised not to fall in love with him. She knew that she was a pet given to him by the Quinsley Family. She knew that this marriage was a joke, but she fell into a hopeless situation. He must die a horrible death in the web of love he woven.
She slept for a while in the afternoon. The alarm clock that she had set rang. Emma propped herself up and sat up. She began to wash up and put on her clothes.
When she was neatly dressed and waiting in the living room, a strong car lamp in the distance passed through the darkness and steadily stopped outside the hall.
The window rolled down, revealing Archie’s handsome face.
“Get in the car!” He said faintly.
Emma bit her lips and walked over lightly to sit in his passenger seat.
The car rushed into the night like an arrow leaving the bow.
A very pleasant English song was played in the car. The man’s deep and lingering voice bewitched people’s eardrums and they could not help but want to indulge in it.
Emma’s heart became even more uneasy. The things that she had been thinking about this afternoon seemed to have been hooked up by this charming song, making her small face involuntarily heat up.
Archie focused on the road in front of him. He did not notice that the girl sitting beside him had already blushed.
“What do you want to eat?” The car dashed out of the manor’s main road and entered the traffic. Archie then asked her faintly.
“Anything is fine.” Emma answered absent-mindedly.
At this time, she really did not have the mood to think about delicious food. Her mind was in a mess and her heart was beating crazily.
Her illness must have not recovered, and it had become even more serious, causing her to start having delusions.
At a traffic light intersection, Archie turned to look at the quiet little woman beside him. With the help of the car lights that were shot over from the opposite side, his expression changed slightly. “Why is your face so red? Still having a fever?”
“Uh. . .” Emma trembled and immediately shook her head. “No, I don’t have a fever.”
Archie reached out and touched her forehead to test the temperature. “If you are not hot, why are you blushing?”
“. . .” Is there a rule that says you can’t blush? Emma was completely speechless.
