Minlan had been lying in the glass window for a long time and had aroused the suspicion of the assistant. However, seeing that she was dressed like a rich person, she could only politely ask her: “Madam, are you here to look for someone?”
The office was relatively quiet and the words of the assistant miss attracted the attention of many people. Emma also turned her head to look.
Others did not know Minlan but she was very familiar with her. Her beautiful little face instantly became alert.
Did Minlan really hate her that much? She actually found the place where she worked.
Facing so many pairs of eyes watching, Minlan felt a little awkward. She lightly coughed and covered it up. “I am here to look for someone, I am looking for…”
“You are looking for me?” A cold and pleasant female voice sounded.
Minlan looked to the side and saw Emma glaring at her with a face full of resentment.
“Yes, I came to find you!” Facing her pair of jet-black eyes, Minlan’s heart instantly softened and her tone was no longer as sharp as before.
Emma sneered. She said faintly, “If you have anything to say, come to my office and say it.”
Minlan was startled and then replied yes and followed Emma into her independent office.
Emma closed the door tightly and sat down on her office chair indifferently. She raised her head and mocked. “Mrs. Sandford, you are really chasing me relentlessly. You actually came to my workplace. Tell me, what else do you want to say to me?”
“Thoughts…. Emma, I am actually just passing by. I am not here to find trouble with you.” Minlan was unable to explain herself but her eyes could not help but want to see Emma’s face. She did not know if it was because of her mental derangement. She only felt that she looked very much like when she was young.
Emma was slightly stunned. She found it funny. “Is that so? Can you pass by my office door even if you’re passing by?”
“I’m looking for Yoseph. I didn’t know you were working here.” Minlan tried her best to explain.
“Yoseph’s office is on the top floor. You can ask the front desk.”
Since she was not here to find trouble with her, Emma did not want to say anything to her.
Minlan nodded. “Then I will go and look for him. You can work.”
Emma stared at Minlan’s face and the more she looked, the weirder she looked. In the past when Minlan saw her, she always looked like she wanted to strangle herself to death.
Why did the way she looked at her today no longer had a sharp look in her eyes but instead had an indescribable strangeness?
Minlan turned around and left with some sadness. When she opened the door, Emma suddenly said, “Mrs. Sandford, go back and tell your daughter that I will not let Archie go.”
Minlan’s hand that was holding the door handle suddenly froze and turned around to look at Emma’s determined face.
Her heart was in fear!
Wrong, everything was wrong!
Her little daughter was engaged to the Wolfleim Family.
Her heart was in chaos. Minlan’s face was pale as she quickly left.
What kind of fate was this? Why did the heavens want to mess with her two daughters like this?
Emma played with the pencil in her hand and stood at the door looking strangely at Minlan’s leaving figure as her brows tightened.
What was this Minlan playing again? Why did her attitude towards her suddenly become so good today?
Minlan stood in front of the elevator in a daze. Her heart was extremely chaotic. When the elevator door opened, she casually pressed the elevator on the top floor.
After the elevator opened on the top floor, she walked out.
“Madam, do you have an appointment?” An assistant smiled and asked her.
“No, but tell President Yoseph that Mrs. Sandford is looking for him.”
The assistant saw that she was very imposing, like the wife of a wealthy family. She did not dare to be neglectful and quickly went to report.
When he heard that she had come, Yoseph personally went out to welcome her. “Auntie, why did you come to find me?”
Minlan’s face was somewhat pale as she whispered, “Young Master Yoseph, I came to find you to ask about some things.”
Yoseph invited her in and asked his assistant to make her a cup of lemon tea.
“Auntie, if you have something to say, please say it!” Yoseph also brought his coffee and wanted to drink it.
Minlan stared at the flower tea on the table and suddenly said, “Young Master Yoseph, I found my little daughter. The engagement that I made previously still counts.”
“Cough!” Yoseph had just taken a sip of coffee and choked because of this sentence. His handsome face turned a little red, and he instantly looked at Minlan. “What did you say?”
Minlan looked straight at him and asked word by word, “If my younger daughter is still alive, your engagement will be valid. Right?”
Yoseph had not yet recovered from his choking, but this time, he heard it clearly.
“Auntie, you found your little daughter?” Yoseph’s handsome face suddenly changed, his face was pale.
He had found the lost little daughter of Sandford Family?
How was this possible?
Minlan nodded and said with certainty: “Yes, I am sure that she is my little daughter. Although there has not been any further verification, I believe in my intuition.”
Yoseph’s face was ashen. Obviously, he could not accept such a cruel reality.
If he were to marry an unfamiliar woman now, he would go crazy if he did not even know whether she was round or flat.
“Auntie, the engagement between our Wolfleim Family and the Sandford Family has never been mentioned. Why are you suddenly asking me this? I can’t make the decision, I have to go back and ask my grandfather.” Yoseph really wanted to reject it, but because Minlan was a senior, he could only say it in a tactful manner.
Minlan reached out and took two sips of lemon water and sighed. “That’s true. Marriage matters, you can’t make the decision. You go and ask your grandfather, and let him give me an answer as soon as possible.”
“Okay. Does Auntie have anything else? If there’s nothing else, I have a meeting in five minutes…”
Minlan sensibly stood up. “I have nothing else to do. You go ahead!”
Watching Minlan leave, Yoseph punched the table angrily. “Damn woman. Why did she appear at this time? How dare she block my path of happiness? Watch how I torture you to death.”
It was really very frustrating. Yoseph had always thought that he was luckier than Archie, and that he didn’t need to fulfill that ridiculous engagement.
Only now did he realize that he was actually much worse off than Archie.
He had not even dated once. It was not easy for him to fall in love with a woman, and she was even the wife of a brother.
As the saying goes, a brother’s wife cannot be bullied, but he played with fire time and time again, wanting to bully that woman.
But now, she suddenly told him that she had found the little daughter of the Sandford Family that he had been engaged to since he was young. It was like a bolt from the blue. Yoseph wouldn’t accept such an absurd arrangement even if he died.
He had to go back and beg his grandfather until his grandfather refused.
After Emma got off work, she stopped the car and went home on time.
She did not dare to trouble driver, who had sent her to in the Grafton Family.
She passed by a supermarket and went in to buy some vegetables. She planned to go home and cook a delicious meal.
For a person’s dinner, even if one used their heart to cook, it would still taste like chewing wax and would not be in the mood.
After a few bites, Emma cleaned up the table and washed the bowls. She laid alone on the balcony and looked at the night sky of the city. When would the person she remembered appear?
In just a few days of separation, she began to think of him at this time.
In the past, Archie would always come back on time in the Grafton Family. He always liked to hug her in his room.
Memories flashed past her heart. The pain made her shiver.
If she had never had such a blissful and sweet time, she would not have felt so lost at this moment.
However, memories were like a prison that locked her happiness.
The night was already deep. Emma thought that she still had work to do tomorrow, so she could only take a shower and throw herself on the bed.
Unconsciously, she also fell asleep in a daze.
Suddenly, she felt as if there was something heavy pressing down on her, pressing down so hard that she almost could not breathe.
She thought that she was dreaming, but very quickly, something warm was swimming around her cheeks.
“Ah… Help!” She woke up and instinctively stretched out her hand to push the person on her body away. Then, she let out a miserable scream.
“It’s me!” A familiar deep male voice fell beside her ear.
Emma was just about to reach out and touch the switch on the wall lamp when she suddenly heard this sound. Her entire body trembled violently.
“Archie… Is that you? Is it really you? I’m not dreaming, am I?” In the darkness, Emma’s tone was anxious and full of surprise.
Emma was stunned and could not react for a long time. Until the man’s thin lips moved downwards.
Her whole body trembled. Her two small hands hugged the man’s head and her cheeks rubbed against his soft black hair. “Archie, I miss you too! I’ve been waiting for you to come back!”
“Sorry, I’m late!” The man heard her wronged voice like a child and smiled as he apologized.
“It’s not late… It’s not late. It’s just, why didn’t you wake me up? Do you know how scared I was just now? I thought it was some lecher…”
When Archie heard her terrified voice, he couldn’t help but laugh. His deep voice sounded charming in the silent night.
“Pa!” His slender arm reached to the side to touch the switch and pressed it.
The wall lamp above her head lit up and the halo sprinkled down. Emma finally saw the man’s devilish and handsome face clearly and her heart immediately overflowed with happiness.
“Have you ever seen a lecher that looks as handsome as me?” Archie looked at her frightened little face and asked in amusement.
Emma looked at his handsome face with infatuation. Her fingers had already touched it, and it was warm.
“Archie, why did you come to find me so late at night?” Emma asked him in a low voice as she touched him.
“I just got off the plane and came to find you!” Archie answered in a low voice. His thin lips were still rubbing against her chest.
His breath made Emma’s body tremble. “Why didn’t you come back during the day?”
“I want to see you… I can’t wait!” Archie suddenly pushed her down and sucked her lips. “Do you know? I can’t wait a second.”
Emma heard his deep voice that sounded like wine and her soul trembled slightly. She did not have the slightest bit of resistance and her small mouth took the initiative to wrap around him.
