When Emma heard Luisa’s words, she immediately knew the reason why she came to find her. She played a romance card but revealed her third party’s arrogant face and scolded her for being a selfish person.
In the Quinsley Family, Emma was a wimp and a coward because she ate and wore the Quinsley Family’s money. She was willing to endure their bullying and did not want to be an ingrate whose conscience was eaten by dogs.
Now, what kind of identity did Luisa use to scold her? Was it Archie’s fiancée?
Sorry, this official wife, had not even spoken, when was it her turn to scold people?
A cold look instantly flashed across Emma’s elegant and beautiful face. Her tone was also very light. “I have already said that if you really think for Archie, Tell him your good intentions. If you can really use your kind heart to move him… Let him take the initiative to explain the marriage to me. I won’t keep pestering him.”
“Emma, is your heart made of steel? So heartless. If I could persuade Archie, why would I come to you?” Luisa looked at Emma’s young and innocent face. She thought that she was a pushover that was easy to pinch, so… That was why she wanted to make a move on her. But who would have thought that… Under this pure face, there was a heart that was soft and unyielding.
Emma blinked her eyes. “Are you sure you didn’t come to find me because you wanted to snatch my seat? Mrs. Grafton’s identity was indeed very attractive. You were not the first one to come and snatch my position, so you definitely would not be the last. However, I firmly believe in my own judgment. The man I choose will definitely not give up on me so easily.”
“I really don’t know where you got your confidence from. You are just a poor wretch living under someone else’s roof. Once you catch Archie, this big tree, you will never let go. But I still have to remind you that it’s still not too late to give up on your wedding. Don’t embarrass yourself when the time comes.” Luisa gritted her teeth coldly and her eyes were filled with hatred and resentment towards Emma.
Emma suppressed the impulse to go forward and ruthlessly slap her and calmly replied. “This is the first time I have realized that being a third party would also make people feel incomparably proud. It seems that this occupation is very suitable for you.”
“You…” Being scolded in public as a third party was the greatest slander to Luisa who was as proud as a peacock. She was so angry that her entire body was trembling. If she had a knife in her hand now, she would not hesitate to stab Emma.
“Who is the third party? Emma, you are the one who snatched my position. I am just asking you to return what originally belonged to me.” Luisa gnashed her teeth in hatred.
Fortunately, there were no customers in the coffee shop at the moment, and their seats were also rather remote. The two of them quarreled fiercely, and there were no onlookers.
Emma’s eyebrows twisted and she still said indifferently: “When I married Archie, I didn’t know that you existed. Furthermore, the person Archie married was me, so I can’t possibly be a third party.”
“Emma, just you wait. I will make you regret offending me today.” Luisa was not confident enough. After all, Emma was the real Mrs. Grafton. She was just a robber. If they continued to argue, it would only make things worse. So, she tactfully took her branded handbag. She angrily put on her sunglasses and threw it away. Then she left.
Emma sat in her seat and looked at her disappearing figure. Her tense body immediately softened.
It seemed that in order to play the role of Archie’s wife, she would have to face a very serious test.
When she was young, her grandmother told her about the argument between women. That kind of unwillingness on her face was very ugly. She also did not want to argue with others.
However, sometimes, being a weak person who could be bullied felt even worse.
She was destined to let down her grandmother’s teachings.
Emma returned to the office and felt inexplicably stifled and uncomfortable.
Although she refused to yield in front of Luisa, she was also very worried about the situation Archie was facing.
Archie had put in so much effort for the Grafton’s Empire. If he lost the right of succession because of her, she would feel very guilty and ashamed.
However, Archie didn’t seem to be very worried about this matter. Did he find a way to settle everything?
Emma looked out the window at the sunset and dusk. Her heart was empty. Why couldn’t the two of them just love each other but be bound by the secular world and family?
When it was time to get off work, Archie took the opportunity to pick her up and get off work.
Emma packed some private things and carried her bag to the elevator.
The wedding date was approaching and the joy in her heart was washed away by Luisa’s words.
Now was the time for her and Archie to be in a relationship. Two young people, two passionate hearts, getting close to each other and being attached to each other, it was such a delightful thing.
It would be perfect if there were less obstacles.
At the entrance of the hall, there was a domineering car. The smooth black car reflected the light of the crystal lamp in the hall. It was indescribably noble, just like its owner, powerful and dazzling.
Emma walked to the side of the car door. The door opened from the inside, revealing a peerlessly handsome male face. His gloomy eyes looked at her with heat. “Get in the car!”
Emma suddenly saw Archie’s charming face and her heart jumped for no reason. No matter how many times she looked at it, this face had the charm of bewitchment.
It was Archie who was wearing a black shirt today. His collar was open, and he looked lazy and noble. Black was the synonym of mystery. It made his facial features even more profound. The smile on his face reached directly to the bottom of Emma’s heart. She could not be moved by him.
She bent down and sat down. In the next moment, the man’s long arm reached over and very naturally, he pushed her into his embrace.
The hug that was filled with a masculine aura made Emma’s heart beat faster inexplicably. She slightly raised her eyes to look at him but saw his sexy thin lips kissing over.
Emma’s entire body tensed up. Before she could even say anything, the soft and tender lip was snatched away by him.
The firm and gentle lips sucked on her lip for a while before letting her go.
“Why do you look like you have a lot on your mind? Who bullied you?” Archie’s eyes were cold and sharp. He was even more attentive to the expression on her small face.
Emma shook her head. “No, I might be too tired from work.”
“Since you feel tired, then don’t work. You can rest assured staying at home.” Archie smiled and looked like he doted on her.
Emma was shocked and immediately shook her head. “That won’t do. Although I am a little tired, I like this job. It is very fulfilling.”
“Just now, I deliberately took a look. When you walked out of the elevator, all the men in the hall looked at you.” Archie was very jealous. Even if there were men looking at her, he still felt that it was not cool.
Emma was amused by his words and laughed. She gently pushed his chest. “You are so boring.”
“Hurry up and go back. My grandfather will come over tonight.” Archie put away the boring topic and said with a solemn expression.
“Your grandfather?” Emma’s heart skipped a beat and her heart was filled with uneasiness.
Archie could tell that she was nervous and worried. He gently rubbed her slender shoulder. “Don’t worry. I will take care of everything.”
Emma secretly sighed. “I am afraid that I will make your grandfather greatly disappointed.”
“How can that be? You are so beautiful. My grandfather will definitely praise my good taste.” Archie smiled and comforted her.
Emma, however, did not think it was a big deal and curled her lips. “If I am considered pretty, then isn’t Luisa a Heaven Immortal? Your grandfather had already determined that she was his granddaughter-in-law. I was really afraid that he would find it hard to accept me.”
Archie’s handsome face instantly darkened. “Don’t mention Luisa to me. Other than her face being able to see, her personality is not likeable.”
Emma was stunned. Archie actually rejected Luisa so much. It seemed that if Luisa wanted to be Grafton young mistress, she would not be able to pass the first round.
Inexplicably, her depressed mood started to rise.
The car sped towards the villa of Grafton Family!
As the night fell, the car steadily stopped at the entrance of the hall.
Emma deliberately looked in the direction of the living room. Indeed, she saw Uncle Suan making tea for an old man with silver hair.
Was that Archie’s grandfather?
Although he was old, his aura was still fierce and intimidating.
“Let’s go, get out of the car!” Archie looked at her hiding in the car window like a child, peeking at his grandfather. The corner of his mouth raised inexplicably.
Emma forced herself to follow him out of the car and walked into the living room.
“Grandpa, when did you come?” Archie held Emma’s hand with one hand and asked with a smile on his face.
Only then did Old Master raise his head. His eyes stopped on his grandson for a second, and then he looked over at Emma.
A very young girl. She was dressed in a simple and elegant manner, and her looks were not bad either. She was very beautiful.
“Emma, quickly call grandpa!” Archie gently shook her small hand and reminded her.
Emma quickly and generously shouted, “Grandpa, hello!”
“En!.” Old Master gave a deep ‘En’. It could be considered that he acknowledged her. After that, his gaze landed on Emma and asked, “Is the child’s condition alright?”
Emma’s entire body stiffened and her face froze. It was Archie who replied with a smile, “Doctor Carl personally did the examination. The child’s condition is all good.”
Emma’s small face turned slightly pale. She really did not know where Archie got his confidence from. He could actually tell a lie without missing a beat.
Sigh, this man actually lied to his own grandfather for her sake. What reason did she have to back off?
“That’s good. I’m very relieved about Doctor Carl’s medical skills.” Old Master obviously did not doubt anything.
Archie asked Uncle Suan, “Uncle Suan, is dinner ready?”
Uncle Suan nodded and replied, “It is ready. We can eat at any time.”
Archie relaxed Emma’s little hand and walked to Old Master’s side and said, “Grandpa, let’s talk while we eat. You haven’t returned to the country for a long time. I will personally take you out for a walk tomorrow.”
“No need. I have made an appointment with the old lady of Sandford Family. I will let Luisa bring us out together.” Old Master politely refused.
Archie’s face stiffened. He said with some dissatisfaction: “Grandfather, if you really like Luisa that much, just acknowledge her as your godgranddaughter.”
Old Master glanced at him. “What? Afraid that your grandfather will change his mind at the last minute?”
Archie quickly smiled and said, “I don’t think so. Grandfather is a man of his words. How could he change his mind?”
“Alright. Tomorrow, I will ask the old lady of Sandford Family to talk about your marriage.” How could Old Master not know about his grandson’s worries?
