Yoseph only sneered but did not give Helena a definite answer. Who he liked had nothing to do with her.
No matter what purpose she asked him, he would not get along with Helena like real siblings.
Seeing the tall figure of the man hiding in the elevator door, Helena stomped her feet angrily. “Yoseph, come back here. Answer me quickly. If you don’t say a word, you will die.”
The last word die echoed in the empty corridor. Helena was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly turned around and went back to her room.

Emma first went to take a shower and lay on the bed but her brain did not have a trace of sleepiness.
She kept thinking about the wedding at the end of the month. She knew that Archie was not joking with her to make her happy. That man’s serious expression meant that the wedding would really be held as scheduled.
That was also good. Anyway, she would not be so virtuous and generous as to not bother about this matter. On the contrary, she was very calculative.
Marriage is the most beautiful thing for a woman. She must also take this form.
However, if the wedding at the end of the month truly belonged to her, then she had to get her mother to come and give her blessings, as well as her father. No matter how much of a bastard that father was, she still wanted to know who he was and what he was doing.
All of this had become the anxiety in Emma’s heart. She really could not understand why her parents did not come to find her after twenty years.
Archie took a shower and walked out. He saw her two hands combine into a palm, burying his little face in it. He was slightly shocked.
He took a few steps forward and pulled her small hand off her face. His pair of cold and sharp eyes stared at her wounded and lost face. His voice was heavy. “What’s wrong? Your complexion is not too good.”
Emma’s helpless eyes looked into his unfathomable eyes. For some reason, her desolate heart seemed to be illuminated by the sunlight. She did not care about her reservations and grabbed Archie’s palm. Her tone was pleading, “Archie, you promised to take me to find my mother. Right?”
Archie was stunned. His eyes became gentler and he nodded. “Yes, I have promised. When do you want to go?”
“As soon as possible, it’s best if I can see her before our wedding, I think. . .”
“You want to invite her to our wedding?” Archie answered her hesitation with a smile on his handsome face.
His fingers also very gently tidied her messy long hair on her cheeks. He still spoke in a gentle tone, “Don’t worry. If this is your wish, I will definitely satisfy you.”
“Thank you!” Emma softly bit her lip and expressed her gratitude from the bottom of her heart.
“Silly, you want to thank me? It is as if there is a separation between us.” Archie couldn’t help but laugh and hit her head with his finger as a punishment.
“What I said is true. I wanted to go overseas to find her alone in the past. I worked hard to practice English, hoping that one day I would be able to ask her confidently. Why did she leave me behind? I’m already twenty years old now. But I never had the chance. My grandfather didn’t want me to look for her. He said that he wouldn’t allow me to disturb my mother’s peace, and every time I heard. . . Every time I hear it, my heart aches, my birth. . . It’s like a cancer has been planted in my parents’ hearts. I don’t even have the right to see them.” Emma’s emotions were in turmoil. Her eyes instantly became wet. She tried her best to calm herself down. However, the pain of being suppressed for too long was pulled out and her heart still hurt.
Archie focused on her teary eyes. He suddenly pushed her into his embrace and hugged her tightly. “Don’t worry. You don’t need to bear all of this by yourself anymore. I will accompany you.”
“Archie, thank you. Thank you for loving me!” Emma sobbed. Her whole body trembled slightly. She was like a child who had finally gotten his warmth. She cried impudently, but her heart was calm.
Archie’s chin was pressed against her head. He did not answer her, but his thin lips kissed her hair tightly again and again. This kind of kiss was more obvious than any words. It showed that he was in love with her at this moment.
Just like that, Emma was tightly hugged by him. The sadness that she had accumulated for a long time was completely vented out. When she stopped crying, she found that her tears and snot had already been wiped on the man’s snow-white robe. Her whole body froze and she could not even raise her head.
“Sorry, I dirtied your robe.” Emma was extremely embarrassed. She let go of the two small hands that were holding onto his robe and lowered her head. Her crying appearance must have been very ugly.
“It’s fine. I will change to another one! Have you cried enough? Go to the bathroom and wash up!” Archie laughed lightly. Then, he elegantly turned around and went to the closet to find a new robe.
Emma then slowly raised her head. Her eyes were so swollen that it could not be seen. Her small face was also covered with tears and snot. When Archie entered the locker room, she quickly jumped off the bed and ran to the bathroom to tidy herself up.
Although she was mentally prepared, she was still scared by herself in the mirror. Her eyes were red and swollen and her hair was stuck to her face with tears and snot. It was an indescribable joke.
Hopefully, Archie did not see this scene. Why was she crying?
Her tears were too low. She had to pay attention to her bets. She could not lose her image like this.
When Emma finished tidying herself up, the man was already lying on the bed. When he saw her come out, he propped himself up slightly and looked at her with a burning gaze.
Emma instinctively raised her hand to cover her red and swollen eyes. With light steps, she moved to the bedside and laid down. Her back was also facing him.
“I’m going to sleep!” She tried to speak as calmly as possible, but when she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was hoarse.
A firm and warm embrace suddenly came from behind her. The man did not pull the body she was carrying over and just stuck close to her back. The large palm wrapped around her and grabbed a cool little hand of hers. He clenched it tightly and slept together.
Emma slept very soundly. She did not even have a dream and the sky was already bright.
A low male voice faintly sounded beside her ear. “Emma, wake up. We have to set off!”
“What?” She answered in a daze, but was unable to wake up from her sleepiness.
“Aren’t you going to find your mother? Go now.” The man whispered into her ear.
Emma completely woke up when she heard the word ‘mother’. Her beautiful eyes were wide open. “What did you say? Take me to my mother now? Did I hear that correctly?”
“No, hurry up and get dressed and come downstairs!” Archie was already dressed in formal clothes and leather shoes. He looked extremely pricey.
Emma’s mind was still blank and did not react. Happiness came so suddenly that she could not accept it for a moment.
After a few seconds of pondering, she quickly got off the bed and washed up as fast as she could. After putting on her clothes, she tidied up a small travel bag and then quickly went downstairs.
The man sat at the dining table and ate breakfast. When he saw her carrying a bag downstairs, his thin lips couldn’t help but raise, smiling indescribably beautifully.
Emma went downstairs and saw him. She saw the corners of his smiling mouth and was completely stunned. He looked at her like a lovestruck person and couldn’t turn his eyes away.
“What are you still standing there for? Aren’t you hungry?” Archie looked at her and reminded her lightly.
Only then did Emma feel a chill. She actually stared at him like an idiot just now.
Putting down the travel bag, she sat down opposite him and started to eat breakfast.
The breakfast that Uncle Suan prepared for her had always been very meticulous. Moreover, it took a lot of time to make a bowl of rich oatmeal porridge and a bowl of rich chicken soup. But now, every breakfast was placed in front of her and it was always meticulously made. This made Emma feel extremely ashamed. Every time she did not dare to leave anything behind, she drank it all up.
The man casually handed over a tissue. “Wipe it. There is still milk at the corner of your mouth!”
Archie seemed to be casually saying this, but in fact, his body had already become abnormally hot.
It was because he had seen her drinking milk with a cup in her hand just now. The pink lip had collided with the smooth milk. For a normal adult man, this kind of visual impact was very great.
Furthermore, Archie had always been weak in self-control when facing this cute and pretty girl. If he wasn’t in a hurry, he might have let his lust burn. He would have carried this little thing upstairs and asked for it before going out.
Emma only thought that the man gave her a tissue because he was considerate. She quickly reached out to take it and wiped the corner of her mouth clean.
“What is inside?” Archie passed by the luggage she put aside and asked faintly.
“Change of clothes and shoes!” Emma blinked her big black eyes and replied.
“There is no need to wear them!” After Archie finished speaking, he walked towards the door, leaving Emma in a daze.
Uncle Suan smiled and helped to explain, “Young mistress, when young master goes out, he basically does not bring anything.”
Emma was a little embarrassed. How could she know that a big young master like him did not need to bring anything when he went out?
Emma could only ask Uncle Suan to send the travel bag back upstairs. After that, she quickly followed the man out of the hall.
James was already sitting in the car waiting for them. When he saw Emma, he very politely greeted her with a smile, “Young mistress, morning!”
“Good morning!” Emma raised the corner of her mouth and smiled.
She opened the car door and sat in. She found that Archie had some more information in his hands. It seemed that James had sent it over early in the morning.
“Young master, are you going to the airport?” James confirmed it again.
“Yes,” Archie nodded.
“Wait a minute! There is something that I might have forgotten to tell you!” Emma suddenly thought of something very important that she had yet to say and immediately opened her mouth to speak.
“What is it?” Archie raised his eyebrows and looked over.
“I. . . I don’t know my mother’s address.” Emma had a bitter expression.
“Call your grandfather and let me tell him!” Archie’s next sentence solved Emma’s urgent need.
She had asked her grandfather many times, but her grandfather had not told her. Was it useful for Archie to ask from her grandfather?
