Emma felt embarrassed when she heard that. She said in a low voice, “Thank you, Archie!”
The man looked down at her and saw her pale face gradually recover. He gently pinched her pink cheeks. “Don’t be sad anymore. Your health is more important.”
Emma was also afraid that Archie would feel that she was being too hypocritical. Her face was a little hot and she nodded in agreement. “Okay, I’m fine now.”
“Really?” Archie could not help laughing out loud. This woman’s ability to show off was getting better and better.
Emma’s thoughts were seen through by him, and her face turned red. “Because I know that even if I am sad, it is useless. I just returned to my life without a mother.”
“I also don’t have a mother!” Actually, Emma’s sadness aroused his memories. However, as a man, his self-control to suppress his emotions was stronger, so he did not appear to be very sad.
Emma was stunned. She raised her head and looked at him. She subconsciously reached out her small hand to hold his large palm, silently comforting him.
“Fortunately, I have you!” The grief on Archie’s face blinked. “It’s enough with you!”
Emma’s heart trembled. Archie looked at her with strong feelings. It was like a dense web of love that instantly trapped her inside. Even when she breathed, there seemed to be his aura.
“I will take good care of you!” In her heart, it was sweeter than eating the honey of a commoner. In the next second, Emma was like a comforting big boy and said something that even she herself wanted to laugh at.
Archie was stunned and then laughed out loud, “Before you take care of me, just take care of yourself first. Don’t make me worry anymore.”
Emma was suddenly embarrassed. She slowly laid back on the bed to rest. The sadness in her heart had disappeared a lot.
But when she thought about the matter of her mother’s passing, she still felt extremely uncomfortable.
Archie sat back on the sofa. There was a computer next to his hand. On the other side, there was a pile of documents. He looked very busy.
Emma’s eyes lit up. A serious man was the sexiest. Archie’s eyes were focused on the documents, and he looked very mature and calm.
This kind of temperament was not something that could be faked. Emma admired the sexy figure of the man, but at the same time, she secretly sighed. Why was Archie so busy every day? People at his age should be enjoying the joy and happiness brought by youth.
But when he opened his eyes, it was work. When he closed his eyes, he slept. He was so busy that he even squeezed out the time to rest.
Others only saw his dazzling halo, but no one could see the tiredness and self-discipline he had when faced with complicated work.
Archie had long noticed Emma peeking at him.
His gloomy eyes slightly swept over and discovered that she seemed to have forgotten what she was looking at. She did not even notice the gaze he was looking at.
“Cough. . . Am I handsome?” Archie did not know why she was in a daze. She was so entranced that he coughed lightly and asked with a faint smile.
Emma was stunned for a moment before she quickly calmed down. Her face was completely red and she quickly turned her face away. She whispered, “Archie, you are so busy every day. Don’t you feel tired?”
“Once you get used to it, you will not feel tired!” Archie paused the pen in his hand and laughed at himself.
Emma heard this and her heart hurt even more. She sat up again and looked at him with more concern. “You are so rich. Why don’t you find some people to help you with some work?”
“I have already found many people, but there are still some decisions that I have to make by myself.” Archie smiled and answered.
Emma was shocked. Grafton Family was now sealed off from the business empire, and the import and export business would always be the top. Every year, they would pay tens of billions of taxes, which was the largest group in H Country. Archie was pushed to the position of the richest man at a young age. His property value was ranked sixth in the world, and he was one of the few young entrepreneurs. Yoseph followed closely behind and was ranked eighth.
“You have already earned money that you would not be able to use up in a few lifetimes. Why are you still working so hard?” Emma was just a little girl after all. She did not care how much money Archie could earn. It was whether his body could bear such excessive consumption day after day.
Archie looked up and smiled lightly. “If I don’t put my life on the line. . . The position of young master of Grafton Family will be taken by someone else. Whatever I do, it will depend on the expression of others. I have to serve my boss without stopping. Compared to that kind of life where I work like a horse or a cow, I am more willing to tire myself out and be the one being served by others.”
Emma was stunned. It turned out that earning money was not his goal. It was the truth to step on other people’s heads and tyrannize others.
“Is this your ambition?” Emma asked puzzledly.
“Yes, a man’s ambition is higher than the sky and bigger than the earth. If possible, I believe that every man has dreamt of ruling the entire universe.” Archie smiled lightly to resolve her doubts.
Emma was amused by his playful answer. “You did it too?”
“I did it when I was young. Now I don’t want to have such unrealistic dreams!” Archie did not deny that he had been naive in the past.
Emma’s lips curled up. For some reason, she was very relaxed and calm at the moment. Although she could not keep up with Archie’s train of thought, it was not bad to chat with him like this.
“The dream I had in the past was to save some money, practice English well, and go overseas to find my mother.” Emma bitterly laughed at herself.
“Have you never been what kind of man you are going to marry in the future?” Archie’s eyes darkened. When he mentioned this, he couldn’t help but think of the man called Jimmy.
Emma was stunned. She blinked her beautiful eyes. “I did, but I’m sure I won’t marry an outstanding man like you.”
“Oh? Then the male lead in your dream, is it Jimmy?” Archie’s handsome face was instantly covered with a layer of depression. His voice also turned a few degrees colder.
Emma choked!
It’s over. Why did she bring up this topic of dreams? Now, he had really dug a hole for himself to jump into.
“No. . . It’s not like that. I was still young at that time. How could I have such a dream?” Emma’s expression was somewhat flustered. Alright. She had done it before. Who hadn’t? It didn’t matter who the groom was, but he was definitely a boy who had a good impression of her back then.
Archie suddenly had no mood to work anymore. He threw the documents to the side and stood up with his tall body. He walked towards her step by step. His voice was filled with jealousy. “You are not telling the truth, right?”
Emma was shocked and quickly retreated a few steps. “Archie, can you not be like this? I admit that I have done it before. But at that time, how would I know what a real wedding is? I only dream. I wore a wedding dress and walked on the red carpet. It was a beautiful and romantic feeling. Really.”
“The groom is Jimmy?” Archie felt that he was being stubborn, but he had no choice but to think about it.
Emma’s expression froze, then she nodded. “Yes! At that time, there were no other boys by my side that could make me fantasize.”
Archie’s finger suddenly slid to her chin on her cheek. He lifted her chin and kissed her without saying a word.
Emma was stunned. This overbearing man. . .
His thin lips kissed very heavily as if he was punishing her.
Emma’s breathing was already fast, but now that he kissed her, she started to pant even more.
The man seemed to feel that she could not bear the softness, and the wild kiss slowly became gentle. Finally, he let her go.
“Looks like holding another wedding is very necessary.” After the man let go of her, he straightened up. His eyes stared intently at her bright red face, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Emma was being kissed so hard that she could not breathe properly. Her mind was even more blank.
“Archie, I don’t believe that you did not have a dream of being with other girls when you were young.” Emma was not convinced. Because of a dream, she was punished. She angrily raised her head and stared at him.
Archie, however, raised the corner of his mouth and shamelessly said, “Of course I have. Boys who have experienced puberty will definitely have those dreams.”
“You. . . It’s too unfair. Why can you just dream? I can’t?” Emma gritted her teeth in anger.
“When you are on top of me one day, we will discuss whether it is fair or not.” Archie smiled very proudly, but he had to admit that it was very elegant and beautiful.
Emma was stunned for a moment. Then, she said with an evil tone, “Okay. Give me the money. I will go and change my sex. After I change my sex, I will put pressure on you. I will punish you and torture you.”
“Emma. . .” Archie’s handsome face instantly darkened. He turned his head and stared at her fiercely. “If you dare to disgust me again, try it!”
Emma was shocked by his gaze and covered her mouth. “Alright, I won’t say anymore. You can go to work.”
“Changed sex? Don’t even think about it. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist strangling you.” Archie was completely enraged. This kind of thing was simply beyond his scope of acceptance.
Emma was instantly amused by his appearance, causing her to giggle. So this man also had something to be afraid of. He was actually afraid that she would change her sex. This was really too fun.
“I was just trying to scare you. Who would want to play such a disgusting thing?” Emma also felt that her words were disgusting and quickly explained.
“Don’t speak nonsense again in the future. Be careful that I won’t let you off!” Archie fiercely flew over and gave her a cold look.
Emma was instantly frightened and wilted. “I won’t say anymore. I promise I won’t say anymore.”
Only then did Archie continue to sit on the sofa and work. Emma was scared by him and was also scared to death. She suddenly found that her stomach was a little hungry.
She looked up at the infusion bottle and saw that it was about to lose. It was over. She quickly pressed the light on the bedside lamp. Not long after, a nurse came over to help her remove the needle.
Emma could finally get off the bed and move around. So, she said, “I’m going downstairs to buy something to eat. What do you want to eat?”
Archie covered his pen cap and stood up. “There’s nothing to eat here. I’ll take you to dinner.”
Emma’s heart suddenly warmed. The quarrel with him also disappeared. She instinctively became gentle. “Really? That’s great. I am hungry.”
“I’m hungry too!” Archie said indifferently. Emma was shocked again. Did this man not eat lunch?
