Yoseph saw her pale little face. Yoseph’s eyes darkened slightly, and his voice was filled with mockery. “Am I that scary? Seeing me is like seeing a ghost. It’s not like I’m going to eat you.”
“I clearly remember Tasya receiving your text message. Why aren’t you with her?” Emma stared at him suspiciously and asked.
“If you want to hear my answer, you have to let me in first!” Yoseph spoke politely, but the large palm had already forcefully pushed open the door and the tall figure squeezed in.
Emma panicked and wanted to push him out. It was already too late, so she could only stare blankly. She saw the man sitting elegantly on the sofa with his long legs crossed. His gaze fixed on her: “That good friend of yours is really easy to make an appointment. I send a message to her so I can push her away from you, Emma. Now you know how special you are to me, right?”
Emma’s small hands tightly gripped the wedding dress on her body and said with a puzzled face, “What do you mean by that? I don’t understand.”
“Other women only need me to hook my fingers to deliver themselves to my door. But you want me to invite you three to four before meeting you. I have always chosen my taste. And you happen to be my favorite type. Indeed. . . Women who are too active don’t have a sense of conquest. This is what gives me the pleasure of pursuing you.” Yoseph’s eyebrows carried a hint of a smile at the corners of his eyes. There was no limit to his evil aura.
Emma almost laughed out of anger at his words. She snorted coldly, “Don’t think too highly of yourself. Get out of here quickly. I am not in the mood to argue with you right now.”
“Emma, use your brain to think carefully. After what happened today, do you think you can still enter the Grafton Family?” Yoseph asked angrily.
“This is my business. You don’t have to worry about it.” Emma, on the other hand, had a cold face and showed no mercy to him.
“That’s right. This has nothing to do with me, but you will soon be single again. I can pursue you without any consideration.” Yoseph’s voice was filled with unwillingness and passion.
Emma really had a whole new level of respect for his arrogance. “Yoseph, I don’t think it’s worth it for a rich young master like you to humiliate yourself like this. What you deserve is a fair and rich beauty like Luisa. Why do you always like to pester me, a married woman?”
“It’s my own business who I like. I just don’t want to lose you too badly.” Yoseph looked at her with a deeply moved expression. “If you are chased out by Grafton Family, you will definitely become the laughing stock of everyone. No one else can save you from this dire situation except me.”
“Then I have to thank you for not abandoning me?” Emma felt that Yoseph’s way of thinking was really too strange. Was this something a normal person would think about?
“Emma, I’m serious.” A few traces of injury flashed across Yoseph’s handsome face.
He was really disappointed that he was laughed at by this woman.
Emma saw his distressed expression and sighed, “I know you are trying to help me get through this crisis with good intentions, but I really don’t need your help. Even if Archie and I are forced to separate, the person I like is still him.”
“You are so sure that he will like you?” Yoseph immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation. Couldn’t this woman look him in the eye?
Emma mocked herself, “It’s not easy to fall in love with someone. If you want me to forget him, I’m afraid you will need a lifetime. Regardless of whether Archie likes me or not, at least I like him.”
Yoseph’s eyes were filled with anger as he stared at her. “Then I would like to see how embarrassing you will be.”
The man walked past her with a face full of anger. Emma’s heart felt like it had been hit by something.
Awkward?
Was she not embarrassed enough now?
After Yoseph opened the door, he violently flung it at Emma, causing her to stiffen.
Less than ten minutes after Yoseph left, someone knocked on the door again.
Emma’s heart skipped a beat. She turned around and stared at the door. She thought that Yoseph had returned and that she had no more strength to entangle with him.
“Emma, open the door. It’s me!” A familiar low voice made Emma almost crazy as she rushed over and opened the door.
Outside the door, Archie looked at her anxiously.
“Archie?” She looked up and murmured his name.
In the next moment, the man gently held her face and kissed her trembling lip.
“I’m sorry. . .” The man’s thin lips overflowed with words of apology. With every word he said, his kiss became even fiercer.
It almost took away all of her breath. Other than tears that kept flowing down, Emma was so sad that she could not even speak.
Her two little hands instinctively wrapped around his neck, wanting to send herself in front of him even more.
“Archie, don’t leave me!” She said while crying.
“Yes, I won’t!” Only then did the man let go of her gently as if he had kissed enough. When he saw her crying face, he used his finger to gently wipe the tears at the corners of her eyes. “Sorry, I really shouldn’t have left you alone.”
Emma cried and shook her head. “No, your grandfather’s health is more important. How is he? Nothing happened, right?”
Archie hugged her and sat down on the sofa. Emma leaned against his shoulder like a little bird and her little hand was held in his palm. His thumb caressed the back of her hand and he answered in a deep voice, “Grandfather was just in shock due to overexcitement. He has woken up now, but he cannot be stimulated anymore.”
Emma’s heart inexplicably tightened. Grandpa had actually fainted from anger. It could be seen how much of a blow the matter of lying to him had dealt to him.
“Archie, what should we do? Is your grandfather going to let us divorce?” Emma suddenly panicked and became anxious.
Archie looked at her frightened look and directly hugged her in his arms. His lips pressed against her forehead and his voice was low and hoarse, “Emma, why do you have to bear this responsibility?”
Emma closed her eyes and felt his thin lips on her forehead. That heat almost melted her heart.
“I don’t know. At that time, my mind was blank. Your grandfather suddenly questioned me. He must have known something. I thought, rather than arguing powerlessly. . . If I just admitted it, perhaps he would be less angry. It’s just that I didn’t expect your grandfather to be so furious.” Emma said the worries in her heart. Her small face became paler and paler.
“You don’t understand my grandfather’s temper. If There was someone who went against him, he will become very cold and ruthless. My father was the best example back then. He directly revoked his right to inherit the throne. This time. . .” Archie and strong body trembled slightly. He didn’t know what to say next.
Emma had heard about his father from Archie before. When she heard this, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Could it be. . .
“Your grandfather really wants us to divorce. Right?” She had already expected this outcome, but she didn’t expect it to turn out to be true.
Archie hugged her tightly. He nodded slightly. “My grandfather wants us to divorce, but I don’t want to!”
“Archie, your grandfather can’t be provoked anymore. We. . . Should first consider the old man’s health, shouldn’t we?” Although she was reluctant to part with him, the one who stood in the way of their relationship was his grandfather, who was his closest relative. Emma’s courage to persist immediately dissipated.
“En!” Archie replied softly. His deep reply was filled with sobs.
Emma’s beautiful eyes slightly raised and stared blankly at the man’s slightly reddened eyes. Thousands of emotions surged up in her heart.
She really did not expect that one day, she would actually see Archie cry.
Archie also seemed to feel ashamed that he would cry. He slightly turned his handsome face away, not letting her see it.
Emma, however, stretched out her two small hands, not letting him dodge.
“Archie, let’s divorce. At least let your grandfather vent his anger. But don’t worry, whether or not there is that marriage certificate, it doesn’t matter. You are the only one I love.” Emma could tell that Archie did not want to make this decision, so she had to say it first.
Archie lowered his head and smiled. His smile was bitter. “Do you really have the heart to divorce me?”
“Of course not. I still want to live a happy life with you.” Emma sighed slightly. Fortunately, the reason for the divorce was only because of the obstruction of the elders and not because of the interference of a third party. That was why Emma felt that if they did not divorce, this relationship would not change nor would it decrease.
“Marriage can be divorced, but you cannot change your heart, understand?” Archie’s gaze was deeply fixated on her small face. His tone was overbearing and serious.
“Why are you still worried about me? I should be the one who is worried about you. You are so outstanding. I’m afraid there are many women who want to pounce on you.” Emma was amused by his words. In an instant, the huge rock that was pressing down on her heart disappeared.
The arranged divorce was actually not that uncomfortable.
“Someone who can pounce on me. You have always been the only one. Didn’t I give you my first and first kiss?” The corner of Archie’s mouth raised slightly, and he also smiled.
Emma immediately pushed his face away when she heard him. “You still have the nerve to bring up this matter. I have been especially kind to you since I did not settle accounts with you.”
“I swear on my life that it was really my first kiss.” Archie was really afraid that she wouldn’t believe him, so he said with certainty.
Emma said shyly, “Alright, don’t say how wronged you are. Who wants your first time? I don’t care.”
“What did you say? Say it again?” Looking at her stubborn face, Archie instantly felt a stifled feeling in his chest.
She actually dared to ignore it?
Emma saw that his face had turned green from anger and her mood immediately became better. She took the initiative to kiss his thin lips. “I lied to you. I really want it. You have to give it to me for the 100th and 10, 000th time. Otherwise, I won’t give it to you either.”
“How dare you!” Archie looked at her proud little face, and his thin lips pressed down on it, punishing her.
