At the dinner table of Grafton Family, Emma carefully ate the rice in her bowl, not daring to breathe loudly.
It was unknown whether it was because of guilt or Old Master’s calm and dignified expression. She kept feeling as if she was sitting on pins and needles, wishing she could hide upstairs.
However, as the granddaughter-in-law of Grafton Family, she didn’t dare to do such a rude thing. She could only accompany him while trembling in fear. She carefully answered Old Master’s question in a soft voice.
Archie looked at her pitiful look and found it funny and interesting. He wished he could hold her in his arms and protect her.
But his grandfather was still sitting beside him. No matter how brave he was, he wouldn’t dare to do such a ridiculous thing. Otherwise, his grandfather would label him as a frivolous person. He was afraid that the one suffering would be this innocent little fellow once again.
“Grandfather, I’ve tidied up a room for you in the Northern Courtyard. It’s quiet there, so go and stay there at night.” Archie said in a low voice.
“Yes, Uncle Suan has told me that you will come to the study later. I still have something to ask you.” After Old Master finished eating, he let his two servants support him to the study.
Archie reached out and touched Emma’s little head. He comforted her, “Relax. My grandfather is not an unreasonable old fool.”
His thoughts were seen through and Emma’s face turned red in embarrassment. She immediately felt ashamed of her own dark thoughts.
She acknowledged softly and went straight upstairs to her bedroom.
Archie walked straight to the study room. He pushed the door open and entered. Uncle Suan had already personally brought two cups of tea over.
Old Master sat on the sofa with a solemn expression. “I heard that your father came to find you for the Alfonso family’s matter not long ago?”
Archie was slightly startled. Although he didn’t know who his grandfather had heard about it from, he believed that he must have arranged some spies around him to keep an eye on him.
“Yes, I think all of this was Aunt Clara’s idea. Father came to find me out of helplessness.” In front of his grandfather, Archie was still pleading on behalf of his father.
“Humph, this vixen. I saw that she wasn’t serious back then. Your father was so perverted that he lost himself because of her. He listened to everything she said.” Old Master’s heart ached when he thought of his useless son.
Archie quickly went forward and patted his grandfather’s back. He helped his grandfather catch his breath and said softly, “She must have some means to keep my father’s heart tight. As long as she can’t get past me, it’s useless no matter how hard she tries.”
“Grandpa is old. I can’t help you much. In the future, you have to make your own decisions. Also… Protect yourself.” Old Master looked at his young grandson with incomparable heartache. The young man had lost his mother, and the grandmother who loved him had passed away. Only the grandfather and grandson were left to accompany each other day and night, but he had always been strict with him since he was young. He never allowed him to have his own space and thoughts, and in the name of helping him become a talent… He had treated him as a machine for work. Whenever he thought of the heavy responsibility that his grandson had to bear, Old Master felt ashamed in his heart.
Archie was slightly startled. A gloomy expression flashed across his handsome face. He said in a low voice. “I believe that they don’t have the guts to attack me.”
“Don’t be too confident, money can make people lose their minds. You have been suppressing your father and Clara for so many years. I am really afraid that one day… Your father will snatch the inheritance right from your hands for that woman.” Although Old Master was old, There were many hidden dangers that Archie did not care about. In his opinion, it was very likely that it would happen.
Archie’s eyebrows became as cold as ice. He stood up straight and sat down on the single sofa. He took a sip of tea. “Grandpa, don’t worry. I will send someone to keep an eye on them.”
“I will really worry. Are you tired of supporting the operations of the entire company by yourself?” Old Master asked with great concern.
Archie looked at his grandfather with a gentle gaze. He casually replied, “I’m fine. I’m used to it.”
“It’s my fault. It’s my fault for letting you bear all of these responsibilities prematurely.” Old Master blamed himself.
Archie saw this and immediately comforted him, “Grandfather relies and focuses on me. I only have gratitude and joy. I have never felt this burden and pressure.”
“Child, you have been smart and sensible since you were young. You know how to speak.” Old Master was instantly cheered up by his grandson.
Archie’s thin lips slightly raised, but his handsome face revealed a touch of deep thought as he said: “What does grandfather plan to discuss with Madame Sandford tomorrow?”
“I haven’t thought about it yet. If we can get the contract of our engagement back, That would be for the best.” Old Master sighed. Back then, he had an impulse to return the favor. He had made an engagement with the Sandford Family, and now that the child had grown up… Their relationship, however, could not get along with each other. In the past, they would have a wonderful conversation. But now, it was related to the shackles of the younger generation. It was really worrying.
Archie nodded his head deeply. He said “Grandfather, if we can’t reach an agreement, don’t hurt our relationship. I will talk to Dexon personally.”
“Yes, I know what I’m doing. It’s getting late. I will go back to my room to rest. It’s your wedding date soon. Don’t be too tired.” Old Master stood up and walked towards the courtyard of the Northern Courtyard with the help of his servant.
Archie sat alone in the empty study room with a heavy heart. However, it only took a moment for him to recover his indifferent expression.
He got up and walked towards the bedroom.
He pushed open the door and saw a beautiful figure in a snow-white bathrobe. Her long hair, which was like ink, was still wet. She held a dry towel and rubbed it hard.
Archie’s heart skipped a beat for no reason. He walked towards her, who was in a daze.
Emma thought that the grandfather and grandson would at least talk for a long time. She did not expect that the conversation would end in more than ten minutes.
“Let me do it!” The big hand reached over and directly snatched the towel from her hand. In the next moment, the man stood beside her and gently wiped her long hair.
Emma slightly trembled and felt the warmth between the man’s fingers pass through her hair. Her entire body tensed up.
Although she was already familiar with his aura, seeing him wearing a proper attire and wiping his long hair, this kind of extreme contrast was so sexy that it could cause one’s heart to sway.
“Why is it so stiff? Afraid that I’ll eat you?” Her unusual behavior fell into the deep eyes of the man. He slightly leaned over, and hot air sprayed on her tender and snow white neck, causing a numbing sensation.
Emma trembled slightly and her two small hands tightly clenched. Just as she was about to speak, she felt the man’s fingers pulling on her neck again. In the next moment, he pulled her wet long hair to the side and his thin lips pressed on her skin without any warning.
The heat of her thin lips was like a flash of electricity, quickly rushing into Emma’s heart and she felt a fear for no reason.
“I’ll do it myself!” Her small hand quickly snatched back the towel from his hand and wanted to escape.
In the next moment, the man’s two arms wrapped around her and she was locked in his arms, unable to move.
His thin lips even wilder planted a few red marks on her soft and tender skin and he laughed in a low voice.
His intention to tease her was clear.
“Archie, you are really detestable!” Emma scolded with a smile. She shrank the side of her neck that was kissed by him because it was too numb and itchy. It was unbearable.
“You can’t take it anymore?” Archie put his evil hand on her ear and continued to tease her.
“Don’t be so serious!” Although she was resisting, her small body was very honest. She leaned towards the man’s chest.
Archie couldn’t help but laugh. His laughter was as mellow as wine, and it had a kind of bewitching magic.
Both of his legs were suspended in the air. The man directly lifted her up and walked forward.
Emma’s two small hands moved forward. He hooked his neck and hugged her tightly, as if he was afraid that he would fall down.
“My hair hasn’t dried yet. Don’t mess around!” She scolded him playfully.
Archie held her and did not walk towards the big bed. Instead, he put her down on the single sofa at the side.
The man’s faint voice with a smile fell beside his ear. “Do you think I want you now?”
Emma’s brain made a loud bang. It turned out that he picked her up to blow her hair?
That was awkward!
“I didn’t think so!” She carefully retorted, but it was clearly not convincing.
Indeed, she had clearly been thinking about those indescribable scenes just now.
The man turned on the hairdryer and the warm wind blew on her long hair. The man’s fingers nimbly and slowly twirled her hair.
Emma’s entire body tensed up. Although the man’s actions seemed natural, her heart was stirred up by him.
The hair slipped away from between his fingers. The smooth texture also caused Archie’s stomach to burn.
In the past, he never knew that a woman’s long hair would be so soft. When he grabbed it between his fingers, it actually gave rise to many wonderful feelings.
From now on, he would definitely fall in love with this feeling, unable to extricate himself from it.
A few minutes later, her long hair had been blown dry and draped over her thin shoulders. The snow-white bathrobe seemed to have merged with her snow white skin. Her black long hair was even more black and shiny. The extreme contrast of the color made Emma so beautiful that people could not move their eyes away.
A charming red color had already seeped out of her clean little face. The more Archie looked, the more infatuated he became.
“Wait for me on the bed first!” Ever since he met this woman, Archie felt that his speaking skills had dropped. Every night, he would mention something about waiting for him on the bed.
Emma’s heart was slightly sweet. She hummed softly and climbed onto the big bed.
The man stood beside the sofa and reached out to unbutton the buttons on his shirt. The mysterious black shirt buttons were removed by him one by one, revealing a strong and aggressive male body. That smooth and tight muscles were filled with a healthy aura.
Emma’s beautiful eyes were slightly open and her gaze could not move away from his body.
Archie had a charming face. When his thin lips were pressed together, it would give people a cold feeling. But when his thin lips were raised, it gave people a bewitching and wild temperament.
The heavens pampered him too much, almost making him perfect.
The shirt fell to the ground. The man stretched out his hand to unbutton the belt and the pants fell to the ground. That perfect and healthy body without a trace of fat was simply breathtaking Emma’s eyes. Even though he had asked for it so many times, every time she saw it, her heart would beat wildly.
