She felt guilty for the love Archie owed her. Archie did his best to enchant her on the bed. Emma simply could not bear it anymore.
How could this man’s physical strength be so good to such an extent? Even if it was under the banner of having a child, he could not squeeze her passion like this.
The next morning, she was so tired that she didn’t have a dream the whole night. However, this kind of sleep was much better than the insomnia she had a few days ago. At least, she had a period of deep sleep.
In the morning, Emma wanted to get off the bed to make breakfast as usual, but when she opened her eyes, she was surprised.
The bed beside her was already empty. Where was Archie?
Emma casually picked up the pajamas on the carpet and put them on. She walked out of the bedroom. When she reached the corridor of the living room, she smelled a burnt smell, like the tempting smell of beef and black pepper.
She was even more stunned and walked straight to the kitchen.
“Archie, what are you doing?” Her beautiful eyes suddenly widened. She saw that the man was wearing a gray robe and was lazily standing in the kitchen frying steak. Two white jade plates had already been placed on the countertop of the glass kitchen. He was putting the steak on the plate.
“Fry two more eggs, wait!” Archie did not notice Emma’s face at all. After throwing an electric smile at her, he took the heartstar omelet and placed it on the fire. He pinched the two eggs with his fingers and knocked them open, sending them into the omelet.
Emma looked at his slightly clumsy movements and the corner of her mouth inexplicably rose.
This man actually woke up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for her. It made her feel flattered.
She thought that a noble young master like Archie, who lived a comfortable life, would only reach out to put on clothes and open his mouth to eat. She did not expect that there would be a day when he would cook for her.
A husband was like this. What else could she ask for?
“When did you make this steak? Why didn’t I know?” Emma walked over and looked at the two pieces of delicious steak and asked curiously.
“When I decided to live here with you, Uncle Suan asked someone to send me a lot of ingredients. Open the fridge and look. It was stuffed full as if he was afraid that the two of us would be hungry.” Archie scrambled to flip the fried egg over and continued to fry it. He sprinkled some seasoning powder on it, and the fragrance immediately spread in all directions.
Emma opened the fridge in surprise. There was a whole fridge full of food. There was a fresh steak on it and it was covered with special seasoning. She only needed to fry it in the pan.
“Uncle Suan asked me to take the key. He comes over every afternoon to exchange for ingredients. Don’t worry about not having anything to eat in the future.” Archie poured the egg on the plate, picked up two plates, and walked to the kitchen. “Come here and pay for my cooking. How about it?”
Emma stood in front of the fridge in a daze, her eyes inexplicably red.
Archie put down the plate and turned his head to look at her. He saw that her eyes were red and he was slightly stunned.
“What’s wrong? I will make you breakfast and you will be moved to tears?” Archie walked over with a smile. He reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist and asked gently.
Emma suddenly felt that she was too embarrassed and quickly used the back of her hand to wipe her eyes. “Archie, you are so good to me. I really don’t know how to thank you guys.”
“Wait, what do you guys mean?” Archie caught the point in her words and raised his eyebrows. “Shouldn’t you only thank me?”
Emma made up for his teasing and laughed. “Yes, I really have to thank you. Thank you for doing all this for me. You made me stop suffering from hunger and coldness and made me not lonely anymore.”
“Don’t be emotional. I’m most afraid that you’ll shed tears. It’s more important that you come and eat.” Archie touched her little head, held her little hand, and dragged her towards the dining table.
Emma laughed very happily. “Are you really afraid that I will cry?”
“Yes!” Archie answered very naturally. “Once you cry, I will be out of my mind. I just wonder if I have offended you again, and how I should coax you to be happy.”
Emma was about to be overcome by his love words. Her whole body was overflowing with happiness.
“Then I will try my best not to cry in the future. This way, you don’t need to worry about me anymore.” Emma took the knife and fork from him and cut the steak while smiling.
The steak was smoked and tender by him. It tasted surprisingly good when it was bitten in his mouth.
“Is it delicious?” Archie stared at her small mouth and asked.
Emma suddenly stood up and ran to the rubbish bin in the kitchen to throw up.
Archie’s whole body stiffened. Could it be that his cooking was so bad?
She actually threw up.
“That. . . I suddenly remembered that I haven’t washed up yet. You should eat first. The taste is not bad.”
Emma’s small face turned red and she quickly ran into the bedroom to wash up.
Archie’s handsome face stiffened slightly and then he smiled.
Emma was brushing her teeth as she stared at herself in the mirror.
Her pink cheeks looked like they had been nourished by love. She looked like she was in a blissful mood.
Such a life, she would really wake up laughing even in her dreams. Sigh, she really should cherish it properly.
Perhaps someday, all of this would only become beautiful memories again.
Grandpa Grafton hated her for lying. It was really not easy for her and Archie to break through the layers of obstacles.
When she thought of this, her eyes turned red again. She hurriedly brushed her teeth and casually took a cup of warm water to wash her face.
Uncle Suan very carefully packed all of her makeup products and brought them to her. She suddenly felt that Uncle Suan was also an extremely warm person.
She washed up and went back to the table. Archie was a little dissatisfied and said: “Hurry up and eat. It won’t taste good when it’s cold.”
Emma immediately started to eat. Although the steak was a little cold, her heart was warm. As she ate, she could not control the smile on her lips.
Archie had already finished eating. Suddenly, he heard the phone ringing in the bedroom. He frowned and walked in to answer.
Emma’s beautiful eyes stared in the direction of the bedroom suspiciously. Who would call Archie so early?
Although she was very curious, Emma did not want to eavesdrop on his phone. She could only chew slowly and finish the steak first, as well as the Heart Star Eggs that he fried for her.
“Grandpa, what’s the matter so early in the morning?” Archie stood on the balcony of the bedroom and answered the phone.
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the kitchen outside his bedroom. His voice was very low.
“Where are you?” Old Master asked in a very stern voice.
Archie frowned and said, “I’m going to the company.”
“Are you with Emma? Did you tell her clearly that you want to cut off all contact with her?” Old Master asked.
“Didn’t I send you the divorce certificate? Grandpa, can you give me some time?” Archie said with a pleading tone.
“Alright, I don’t care about you for now. You have to deal with it as soon as possible. Also, I heard that Luisa has a piano performance today. Go and support her. Also, give her a bouquet of flowers as a token of appreciation.” Old Master demanded very strictly.
“I have a few important meetings today, and I can’t get myself out of it. I’ll ask my assistant to send her flowers.” Archie was clearly trying to shirk the responsibility.
“No, even if you show yourself, you have to do it yourself.” Old Master would not allow him to cause any more trouble.
Archie was extremely helpless, but when he thought about his grandfather’s health, he could only endure this irritation and replied: “Alright, then I’ll go over and take a look.”
“If you have time at noon, treat her to a meal. I still admire Luisa very much. She is definitely a good helper in your career and life. She will not drag you down. She is suitable to be the daughter-in-law of Grafton Family.” Old Master looked at the person. Sometimes, he would also be prejudiced. Whenever he thought of his grandson supporting the entire Grafton Empire by himself, he would think about it. If his wife could help him share some of his work, it would be very difficult. He was also glad.
“Grandpa, is there anything else?” Archie looked at the dark and misty sky in front of him. It looked like it was going to rain heavily in a while.
“No, you can go to work first.” Old Master hung up the phone after saying that.
Archie tightened his phone and turned around. He saw Emma standing at the door of the bedroom.
Emma looked as if she had been caught. She turned around with a guilty look and said, “Clean up the bowls and chopsticks.”
Archie hurried over and grabbed her arm. “Don’t move. Let the maids clean up. Hurry up and get dressed. I’ll send you to work.”
Emma did not insist and obediently went to change into a set of clothes. Archie also took his own suit from the closet and changed into it.
After exiting the door and walking into the elevator, the atmosphere inexplicably became silent.
“My grandfather called me,” Archie said softly.
When Old Master Grafton was mentioned, Emma tensed up and said in a low voice: “Oh, is there anything important that he wants to talk to you about?”
“There is nothing important, just a casual chat,” Archie replied faintly. Seeing that her expression was a little downcast, he reached out and pulled her into his embrace. His thin lips were tightly pursed, and then he spoke with difficulty. “My grandfather forced me to date Luisa.”
Emma’s entire body trembled and looked up at him in disbelief. “What do you mean?”
“Of course, I don’t want to see her, but my grandfather is keeping an eye on her. He wants me to go and support Luisa’s piano performance today.” Archie really didn’t want to hide it from her. So, he told her directly.
Emma’s heart fell.
Why was it like this?
Every night, the man she leaned against would actually go and support another woman’s meeting.
“Emma, I know you will mind. So, I originally wanted to hide it from you, but I was afraid that it would cause a bigger misunderstanding.” Archie looked at her dejected face and sighed helplessly.
“As long as you don’t fall for her, I don’t mind.” In the world of love, there would never be a third person. Emma also wanted to be selfish.
“In my heart, there is only you!” Archie said softly.
