Emma looked like she had seen a ghost. Her whole body was stiff and cold. When she saw Archie coming out of the room, his gloomy and handsome face looked like it was going to swallow her alive.
“Sofia, you go out first. I have something to say to your sister-in-law.” Archie’s face was cold and his voice was also covered with frost. It made people feel that something bad was about to happen.
Sofia continued to cover her mouth and laugh continuously, but she was still very tactful as she walked towards the door. As she walked, she said to Emma, “I’m really sorry, Sister-in-law. I didn’t mean to cause a misunderstanding between the two of you. You didn’t give me time to explain just now. I want to help you, but I’m afraid I can’t do anything about it. You better pray for your own good.”
“Hey, don’t go. . .” Emma reached out her hand and wanted to pull the girl called Sofia back. She really grabbed onto her lapels, but she didn’t dare to grab too hard. She could only watch helplessly as she left. Then, the door was tightly shut.
That heavy sound of the door being closed also seemed to be in Emma’s heart. She could not help but be shocked.
Behind her, the man’s gloomy eyes stared at her. Then, his voice became a few degrees colder. “Emma, you have grown up. Are you following me again?”
This word again seemed to remind Emma how serious the crime she committed this time was.
Emma was miserable beyond words. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn around. Facing the man’s angry face, she softly explained, “Archie, don’t be angry first. Listen to me, I did not follow you. . .”
“You didn’t follow me. Why did you come here? That angry look of yours just now was clearly a misunderstanding of the relationship between me and Sofia.” Archie wasn’t stupid. How could he not think of this?
Emma’s small face was embarrassed and blushed. She squeezed her hands together and mustered her courage to say, “Alright. I admit that I did follow you up here. But I didn’t follow you to the hotel. I was eating downstairs with my friend. I just happened to see you in the room next door, and. . . I saw a woman pour wine on your pants. When you came out, I thought. . . You must have come to this room to change your clothes.”
“Is that a reason? Why didn’t you call me when you saw me? You secretly followed me up?” A fire was burning in Archie’s heart right now. He thought about how she had righteously called him a liar just now. He felt that this woman needed to be punished properly. Otherwise, she would never learn to be obedient in order to get along well with him.
Emma’s eyebrows twitched. She had already explained it so clearly. Why did this man still look like he wanted to eat people?
“Sorry, I know it’s wrong to follow you. But I. . .” Emma wanted to say something but forgot her words because the man was already approaching her step by step.
“Archie, don’t you still want to go down to eat? Coincidentally, I also want to go down to eat. My friend called me. Maybe the dishes are already on the table. I will go first!” Emma’s small mouth quickly said. She had already turned around and was about to open the door.
However, the man’s movements were a step faster than hers. When she unscrewed the door handle, the man used a large palm to support the door wall and closed the door.
“You angered me, and you still want to eat?” The corner of Archie’s mouth curled up. It was extremely dangerous.
Emma secretly complained in her heart. This was really a misunderstanding. How could she know that girl was his cousin?
Clearly, they had hugged just now.
“Archie, what do you have to say? Can we talk about it when we go home? I’m hungry now. I want to go down and eat something. Please let me off this time.” Emma was like a pitiful kitten as she curled up in his arms. She looked up and begged him to let her go.
Archie looked down at her from above. When he saw the sparkle in her clear eyes, his heart shook.
“Do you know that your begging look makes people want to bully you?” A man’s deep and hoarse voice sounded beside his ear. It was extremely dangerous, and it made people’s heart skip a beat for no reason.
Emma’s entire body stiffened. What kind of mentality was this man? Begging him, and it looks like as she even begged for his fire of desire.
“Archie, calm down a bit. Didn’t you drink just now? Just nice, I drank too. We can’t act recklessly now. If we’re not careful, I might get pregnant this time. That’s definitely not good for the child.” Emma did not want to do that with him at this time. What if this man kept asking for it? How could she have the face to see Tasya?
“You dare to drink?” Archie was completely annoyed when he heard that.
Emma opened her small mouth and was speechless. She also lied to him that she had drunk before and wanted to stop him from acting recklessly, but at this moment, she annoyed him again.
“I drank a few mouthfuls!” Emma muttered softly but in the next second, Emma’s small mouth was fiercely blocked by his thin lips.
Her delicate body was tightly pressed against the wall of the door. His slender and cold fingers pinched her chin, not allowing her to escape at all. Her thin lips were even more like punishment as they wantonly plundered from her small mouth.
“No. . . Don’t do this!” Emma’s two small hands were clenched into fists, but she was powerless to push him away. In the end, she could only grab his shirt collar and try her best to balance the tip of her toes to cater to his angry kiss. Otherwise, her neck would be raised until it was sore.
The man’s kiss was overbearing and violent like a storm, landing between her lips and teeth. At the neck, at the end, he bit down. . .
“Don’t, don’t come. Archie, I’m really hungry. Look, I’m so hungry that I can’t stand straight.” Emma said pitifully as her body went limp.
The man grabbed the large palm and pulled her into his arms. “If you can’t stand stably, then lie down.”
“No, no.” Emma took advantage of Archie’s carelessness to open the door and escape.
Archie chased after her and stood at the door. He looked at the playful figure who did not even look back. His thin lips curled up playfully.
Emma, if you can escape now, let’s see how you will escape tonight.
In one breath, she escaped to the entrance of the restaurant on the third floor. Emma was still in shock. She patted her chest and returned to the table.
Tasya was already eating and looking at her strangely. What is going on? You didn’t even pick up the phone. Did you forget your good friend just because you were intimate with your husband?”
Being mentioned by Tasya like this, Emma could not help but blush, but she did not admit defeat. “No, let’s hurry up and eat. I am starving to death.”
Only then did the two of them enter the state of dining but Emma’s heart was beating wildly. Her pair of beautiful eyes involuntarily looked towards the private room at the side.
Tasya saw that she kept looking back and said faintly, “Do you need to change seats with me? Don’t wander around anymore.”
Emma was embarrassed and decided not to look anymore. She seriously ate.
Not long after, Archie also returned to the room. The two of them separated by the window and occasionally looked at each other.
Emma did not know if it was because of the ambiguous relationship just now, but she always felt that the man’s eyes were burning with passion when he looked at her.
This heat wave had been burning deep in her heart. Thinking about what would happen when she went back later, her heart actually became numb.
After dinner, just as she was about to leave, Emma received a call from the man.
“Wait for me at the door. I will come down immediately!” The concise and domineering tone, which could not be refused, forced Emma to prioritize her relationship with her friend.
Tasya sat in her driver’s car and left first. Emma, on the other hand, waited at the door.
A few minutes later, Archie came down. He wore an iron grey suit and his temperament was noble and cold, giving people a feeling that it was not easy to get close to him.
However, this was only his protective color to outsiders. In Emma’s eyes, he was like a burning flame, wild and fiery.
It was a little cold outside the door. Seeing her wearing thin clothes standing at the door, Archie subconsciously quickened his pace.
“Let’s go!” A gray coat covered her slender body and enveloped his temperature. Emma’s heart felt like it had melted honey. It was sweet.
When they reached the parking lot, Archie opened the car door and she went in.
“That girl gave the tie to Yoseph?” Archie sat in the car and asked her indifferently.
Emma nodded. “Yes, did you notice that she was very beautiful?”
Archie smiled mockingly. “Do you want me to find that she is beautiful?”
Emma choked!
Did she want to?
“Next time, don’t ask such an idiotic question.” Archie reached out his hand and pinched her small face. The strength was not light nor heavy, but it was like a feather brushing past her heart, and it started to itch again.
“Archie, if. . . If you see a girl who is prettier than me, will you really not be moved?” Emma asked him in a low voice. Although this question was also very stupid, she just wanted to hear him answer it personally.
Archie frowned and turned his head to stare deeply at her. “How big do you think a person’s heart is to be able to accommodate so many people?”
Emma was stunned.
“What about you? Will you be interested in another man?” When Archie asked this question, his tone was obviously a little nervous.
Emma shook her head vigorously. “Of course not!”
“Are you interested in me now?” Archie asked again, but he stopped Emma.
Seeing that she was silent and did not answer, the man leaned over and forced her to lean against the back of the chair. His tone was full of danger. “Answer me, are you tempted?”
Emma’s breathing was heavy. Her two small hands instinctively pinched the seat and her voice could not be any lower. “You know the answer but why you ask.”
After Archie heard this, the corner of his mouth rose. Then, the force that was pressing on her body disappeared. The man started the car and drove in the direction of Grafton Family.
Along the way, Emma carefully used the corner of her eye to peek at the man beside her. She suddenly felt that she should not have told him what she was thinking too early.
Admitting that she had fallen in love required great courage. It also meant that her self-esteem would be tightly grasped in the palm of this man. As long as he was slightly heartless, it would break.
