Chapter 73 Romance Dinner

Book:Dearest Wife Published:2024-5-1

Of course, Emma couldn’t explain the reason for her blushing face. She would have been mocked to death by Archie.
“Is it really that uncomfortable to come out to eat with me?” Archie crooked out the meaning of her blushing face. Because along the way, he had been secretly observing her expression. He only felt that she was absent-minded, which made Archie very unhappy.
Emma panicked and quickly explained, “I am not uncomfortable at all. Maybe your air conditioner is too big. I’m a little hot.”
Archie sneered. He turned off the air conditioner, but his handsome face was still tense.
The sudden awkward atmosphere made Emma secretly anxious. Thinking about the matter of her grandfather asking for help later, Emma secretly complained.
But the man’s thin lips slightly pursed, showing his anger at this moment. She did not want to provoke him anymore.
She could only follow suit and fall silent.

Sandford Family!
Dexon and his wife Minlan were about to have dinner when the old lady of Sandford Family was called out from the temple hall by a servant. The old lady was seventy years old, but she was in good spirits. She walked into the dining hall with her walking stick and Minlan quickly stood up. She said with a smile, “Mom, I specially made a pot of seafood soup for you today. I will give you a bowl. You can taste it first.”
“No need!” Madame Sandford’s face sank. Towards this daughter-in-law, Minlan, she was full of resentment.
Putting aside the fact that she had been married into Sandford Family for more than 20 years, she could not even give birth to a son. This was equivalent to severing the roots of Sandford Family. This was unfilial.
However, what made Madame Sandford even more resentful was that this daughter-in-law had two daughters. One was missing, and the other was stolen. This was simply a sin. The old lady was so angry that she directly returned to the Buddhist Sect and started chanting scriptures every day.
Minlan looked at Dexon with grievance. Dexon reached out and patted her shoulder to comfort her.
“Mom, you didn’t eat anything at noon. You should eat more. Minlan also has good intentions.” Dexon came forward to comfort his mother.
The old lady sat at the head of the table and started to wipe her tears. She wiped her tears as she cried. “What kind of sin did our Sandford Family commit? Our descendants have withered to such an extent. How can I have the face to meet your father and our ancestors in the underground? I’m living a life of my own now, but I don’t have the face to meet them.”
Dexon’s mood also became unpleasant. He sighed and said. “Mother, you’ve repeated these words for a few years. Don’t say too much. Your health is more important.”
“Dexon, when will you be able to find my granddaughter? Give me a definite answer. If one day I close my eyes and don’t wake up, how much of a shock will I have to face?” The old lady cried more and more sadly.
“Mom, how can you curse yourself? How unlucky it will be.” Dexon looked at his mother who was so sad, and his face was also very sad.
The old lady, on the other hand, found it hard to contain her sadness, and said sadly: “I heard that the young man from the Grafton Family married a girl from another family. How can this be? Dexon, you have to quickly get Luisa back. She is the true wife of the Grafton Family. Do you understand?”
“I understand, Mom. If you don’t tell me, I will be looking for her too. It is just that Luisa is stubborn. If she sincerely wants to hide from us, how can we find her?” Dexon thought of his only daughter and his face turned green with anger.
Minlan lowered her head by the side and did not dare to make a sound. Although she had also received a lot of blame from the old lady, she believed that there would be a day when her wife would become an old woman. After the old lady left, who in the Sandford Family would dare to give her face?
What if her husband became the next president? As the First Lady, she could only trample on others.
“I’ll make you useless!” The old lady’s crutch hit Dexon’s leg and she gritted her teeth. “I told you to give birth to a grandson. Where did you go? I kept a chicken that didn’t lay eggs every day. . .”
Minlan’s face turned pale on the spot. She raised her head and glared at the old lady with resentment.
Dexon was also shocked. He didn’t know what had happened to the old lady today that she had such a big temper.
“Mom, don’t say so much. It’s not easy for Minlan to control a family. If you really want a grandson so badly, doesn’t Second Brother have a son? The roots of Sandford Family will never be broken. You can rest assured.” Dexon advised her kindly.
“Your brother is your brother’s, I’m talking about you!” The old lady’s face was full of disappointment. Many years ago, she had secretly let her son go out and find a life child. However, she did not know what kind of devil had befallen her son. He only stayed with Minlan, this woman, to live. The bigger this official was, the less scheming he would be. He did not want to drive this old hag crazy.
Just as in the kitchen was in an uproar, a maid suddenly shouted, “Miss. . . Is it really you?”
“Oh my God, old lady, Miss is back.” Another maid exclaimed.
The farce in the kitchen stopped. The old lady trembled slightly and stood up with her son’s support. She looked at the door with tears in her eyes.
Luisa walked in with a smile on her face. When she saw her family, she shrugged and said lightly. “Grandma, Mom, Dad. I’m back!”
The old lady violently pinched her son’s arm. Dexon was unprepared and cried out in pain.
“So I’m not dreaming. It’s really my Luisa who came back.” The old lady threw away her crutch and ran in front of Luisa with quick steps. She opened her arms and hugged her granddaughter tightly. “Luisa, you unfilial granddaughter who was struck by lightning. You almost angered grandma to death. How dare you come back?”
Minlan was also very surprised and did not recover for a long time.
“Pa!” At this moment, Dexon walked over a few steps. He slapped his beloved daughter’s face. “Do you know how much you hurt our hearts by doing this?”
Luisa did not expect that her father, who loved her since she was young, would actually hit her. She was stunned on the spot.
The old lady also instantly recovered her senses and pushed Dexon away. “Why did you hit her? It was not easy for her to come back. If you let her run away again, see if I don’t beat you to death.”
“Mom, you spoiled her since she was young. That’s why she didn’t have any elders in her eyes and acted willfully.” Although Dexon was happy, it was more of a heartache.
“It’s just this one daughter. If I don’t spoil her, who else can I spoil? If you have the ability, bring my granddaughter back as well. I will forgive you for not giving birth to my grandson.” The old lady was panting as she cursed.
Dexon’s expression froze, as if he had been slapped. He said with a pale face, “It has only been more than twenty years. I don’t know if that child is still in this world. If she is still alive, I will continue to look for her. I must find her.”
Minlan covered her mouth and cried out involuntarily. When she thought of the grievances and pain she had suffered while carrying her younger daughter, she felt her heart tearing up.
That winter, the weather was very cold. She did not know if she was carrying a boy or a girl. She was afraid that she would be blamed by the old lady. She secretly went to a remote town to have a child, where the hygiene was bad. The day she gave birth, she almost bled. The doctor performed bleeding control on her. The child was placed in the ward next door. Who knew that when she woke up, When she was told that the child was missing, she felt as if she had fallen into an icehouse. She fainted on the spot.
Later on, when she woke up, she was also in a trance. Sometimes it was good, and sometimes it was bad. There were a few times when she almost wanted to die, but she was saved again.
Time had the effect of calming the pain, but the pain that was buried in her heart could never be erased.
Dexon walked over and hugged her trembling shoulders to comfort her. “Don’t cry. It’s my fault. I didn’t take good care of you and your daughter.”
Back then, Dexon was just a small mayor who was transferred to work elsewhere. The Sandford Family was ruled by an old lady. Minlan did not have a good family background, but she had a strong personality and did not want to be blamed. That was why she secretly went to another place to have children.
Luisa covered her face that had been slapped. Seeing the deep sorrow on her parents’ faces, she felt a little lost.
Since she was a child, although she was the beloved daughter of Sandford Family and had not suffered any harm, there was a kind of injury that made her suffer an invisible blow.
That lost younger sister had always been the heart of her parents. No matter how she performed, no matter how hard she worked and even now now she became an outstanding woman. She could never be more important than that reckless sister. That was why she had to leave this home. She wanted to let everyone in the house know why she left the house alone. Losing her was more painful than losing that little sister that she had lost since she was young.
“Dad, Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been willful. I shouldn’t have sneaked out.” Luisa’s tears fell and she admitted her mistake.
When the old lady saw her cry, she quickly consoled her, “Don’t cry, don’t cry. Luisa, it will be fine when you come back. Grandma can rest assured.”
Minlan walked over and also said in discomfort, “In the future, don’t leave without saying anything. We are really worried about you.”
“I won’t. I will always be by your side and won’t go anywhere.” Luisa reached out and wrapped her arms around her mother’s neck and said firmly.
Because of this departure, she missed her marriage with Archie. This was the biggest loss. How much could she lose?

The beautiful car reflected the bustling traffic lights. Archie had long made up his mind to bring her to eat western food, and even reserved seats, fine wine, and fresh flowers.
He parked the car at the foot of a high-end western restaurant. Archie pushed the door open and got out of the car. Emma also quickly followed him down.
Her two small hands nervously gripped her handbag. Her beautiful eyes flickered. Seeing the man’s elegant figure walking towards the second floor, she followed closely.
Archie suddenly stopped on the stairs. Emma knocked into his back without any warning. Her nose hurt slightly as she looked up at him in surprise. “Why did you stop?”
He did not give her any warning. It was too much.
“I forgot to ask you, what flower do you like the most?” Archie looked down at her from above. His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was indifferent.
Emma was shocked. She blinked her beautiful eyes hard and finally let out a dry laugh. “I am a vulgar person. I like roses.”
“What color is it?” Archie pursed his lips. Archie pursed his lips. It was indeed vulgar, but vulgar was cute. It suited her very well.
“Every color is very beautiful.” Emma replied in a daze.
Archie turned around and continued to walk upstairs. Emma’s heart started to beat wildly again.
Why did he suddenly ask her this kind of question? Could it be that. . . He was prepared to give her flowers?
