Archie squinted his eyes. He could feel her tender fingers landing on his shoulder. The electric current that was brought up was running wildly in his body.
“Why aren’t you pressing it? Didn’t you eat your fill just now?” Archie mocked lightly, suppressing the flames that suddenly burst out from his body.
Emma could only use her strength to massage him. After pinching him a few times, she realized that her small hands could not pinch the strong muscles on his shoulder at all. She could only change it to hammering. Perhaps it was also because of the resentment just now, she gritted her teeth and ruthlessly hammered down.
At first, Archie felt very comfortable. After ten minutes, he could not bear it anymore.
“Enough, don’t you feel tired!” Archie’s shoulder was sore. The woman did not plan to stop. She frowned and scolded him.
Emma’s two small fists were red, and her arms were also sore and painful. But if he did not stop, she stubbornly did not stop.
“Sir, are you satisfied? Is there anything else you need me to massage?” Emma deliberately used a joking tone to ask him.
But when she said it, she regretted it.
The man slightly turned his eyes to look at her. His thin lips lifted up in an evil manner: “It seems like you can’t wait to serve me.”
Emma held her breath and immediately stood up with a red face. “I am a little thirsty. I need to go out to drink water. You can take your time to wash your body.”
When she was about to walk past the bathtub, her wrist was grabbed by a large palm. In the next moment, the man used a lot of force and she fell down.
The hot water soaked her body, and her clothes and hair were all wet.
“Oh, what are you doing?” Emma, who was unprepared, opened her mouth wide in surprise and drank a big mouthful of water. Her entire body was not good and she quickly coughed out.
Emma’s mind was filled with a loud bang. She quickly got up from his body.
Seeing her panicked and helpless look, the man laughed out loud in a good mood.
However, he calculated the time. It might not be convenient for her today, so he stopped teasing her.
Emma was completely drenched. She ran out of the living room in a sorry state, but it was a little cold. She quickly ran to the bedroom to change into a clean sleeping gown.
“Damn it!” Emma thought of being teased by him and felt indignant in her heart.
Would she be able to live safely tonight?
Her small face was full of worry.

The bedroom on the second floor of Sandford Family was decorated like a princess’s room. It was romantic and beautiful. The fresh flowers on the table that were changed every day were tender at this moment.
Luisa took a bath and changed into a blue silk nightgown. She stood by the window in a frustrated mood and looked at the scenery in the distance.
“Archie, how can you let me down? I, Luisa, will never make a joke. I must win this battle. You can choose not to love me, but you must be mine.”
Her heart was filled with anger. Since she had returned, she must marry into the Grafton Family. Otherwise, everyone would look at her pitifully, as if she had been abandoned by Archie.
“Daughter, are you asleep?” Minlan’s voice came from outside the door.
“Not yet! Come in.” Luisa turned around and sat on the sofa. The fierce expression on her face disappeared and became gentle.
Minlan looked at her daughter’s beautiful and moving figure and felt her nose turn sour.
“Mom, it is so late, why are you not asleep yet?” Luisa asked with concern.
Minlan sighed, “I’m used to it. Ever since you left, I haven’t slept well.”
“I’m sorry, Mom. It’s all my fault that I made you worry.” Luisa blamed herself and hugged her mother tightly.
Minlan also reached out and hugged her daughter. She was really afraid that she would suddenly lose this daughter and her eyes turned sour.
“It’s good that you are back. Don’t leave us in the future. Mom cannot bear to lose you again.” Minlan said with a heartache.
“I won’t. I won’t leave again. I know I was wrong.” Luisa felt extremely guilty and promised.
Minlan quickly let go of her daughter and reached out her hand to lovingly hold her exquisite face as she proudly praised, “My daughter is really beautiful. All men will go crazy for you.”
Luisa faintly sighed, “Mom, it was not the right time for me to come back. Archie is already married. Do you know about this?”
When she mentioned Archie’s rude words to her that day, Minlan’s face instantly darkened, “How could I not know? I have already looked for him. I told him to divorce that woman as soon as possible, but you didn’t come back at that time. I was speechless by him. It’s different now. You’re back. You’re a child chosen by the Grafton and the Sandford Family. You have to keep your promise.”
“Mom, I’ve actually already met Archie.” Luisa looked a little disappointed and sad.
Minlan immediately asked anxiously, “Have you seen him? Did he mention the divorce?”
Luisa said with some resentment. “I did. I told him to quickly divorce and marry me, but he didn’t agree.”
“Is Archie crazy? Does he know how serious the consequences would be if he doesn’t marry you? How dare he. . .”
“Mom, Archie has his pride. Actually, I don’t really want to force him. This is the worst plan.” Luisa interrupted her mother’s words. Her beautiful eyes were filled with shrewdness. “He rejected me. Actually, it was because of the engagement between me and him since we were young. His personality was originally rebellious. Forcing him to do something he was unwilling to do would only cause him to raise an even sharper thorn. At that time, no one would be able to get close to him. I don’t want to see such an outcome. If I really reach the last step and force him. . . It will only cause the Sandford Family and Grafton Family to suffer defeat and injuries. At that time. . . Who would benefit from it? The next presidential election would be next year. This opportunity was very important to Dad. At this time, he must not offend Archie. We must let father be the president first. At that time, Archie will not dare to ignore my existence anymore.”
Minlan knew that her daughter had her own thoughts since she was young. She was a very smart girl and this was also the thing she was most proud of.
“Daughter, then do you have a plan?” Minlan smiled in relief.
Luisa nodded. “Yes, I have decided. I want to take it one step at a time and slowly hook Archie up. I won’t force him anymore.”
“Wouldn’t this be too unfair to you? You are the bright Mrs. Grafton.” When Minlan thought of this, she was very angry.
“Mom, there are some things that can’t be rushed. I think the most important thing right now is to let that woman get out of Archie’s world on her own.” Luisa’s eyes became fierce, and her tone became extremely cold and ruthless.
“It’s easy to say. It wasn’t easy for her to marry into the Grafton Family. I’m afraid that she won’t be able to leave easily.” Minlan sneered.
“If she doesn’t know what’s good for her and refuses to give me a seat, then. . . In the end. . . Isn’t she going to be kicked away by Archie? I believe no man will accept that his woman is ambiguous with another man. Archie is so proud. I can’t tolerate it anymore.” Luisa already had a hundred ways to deal with Emma in her mind.
Minlan very much agreed with her daughter’s astute decision and smiled proudly, “Actually, Mother is already making things difficult for Emma. Quinsley Family has a batch of imported goods. I found some connections and make it stuck at customs. Emma was afraid that she would have to trouble Archie to resolve this matter. Archie know that the Quinsley Family was pestering him for help every day. Will he be annoyed by Emma?”
“Mom, it seems like you are even more anxious than me.” Luisa laughed very happily.
“As long as my daughter can obtain happiness and take back what originally belonged to you, Mom will be happy to do anything.” Minlan patted her shoulder in a pampering manner and said.
Luisa leaned on her mother’s shoulder and suddenly pretended to be careless as she asked, “Mother, are you and father still looking for younger sister? Is there any news?”
Minlan’s expression immediately became sorrowful and her eyes also turned red as she shook her head, “Not yet. Back then there was no surveillance and there was really no way to find that thief.”
“Mom, don’t worry. I believe that sister is definitely still alive. One day, we will be able to find her.” Luisa comforted her mother gently.
“It will depend on her life. If she is still alive, even if she cannot return to our side, I hope that she will live well and healthy.” Minlan was definitely a qualified mother. Her blessing and love for her daughter were even more abundant.

In the hotel, Archie finished bathing and came out. He was only wearing a loose towel from head to toe, like the sexy figure of a Greek male god. It almost made Emma’s eyes widen.
The fragrance after the bath combined with the natural hormones of men and had a kind of bewitching charm.
Archie glanced at her indifferently, opened the wine cabinet, and took out a bottle of red wine. He poured a cup.
“Aren’t you going to take a shower? What are you spacing out for?” Archie shook the red wine with a faint voice.
Emma seemed to have been electrocuted. She quickly stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
Actually, she was worried that Archie would not let her go tonight.
“That, you should drink less in the bar. Drinking is harmful to your body.” When she entered the bathroom, Emma turned her head around and deliberately said a sentence of concern to him.
“Just say what you want to say.” Archie was also very smart. Her little thoughts could not be hidden from him.
Emma was embarrassed and could only say softly, “Don’t get drunk. Tonight, I won’t do that with you.”
Archie was really amused by her words. He put the cup down. “Do you think there is only one way to do that?”
Emma’s small face heated up and she immediately ran into the bathroom in a panic. Her back was pressed against the wall of the door and she took two deep breaths.
What did Archie mean by that? Could it be that he really did not plan to let her go tonight?
