Yoseph was lying in his bedroom, feeling depressed.
What happened today had caused him to suffer a huge shock. It didn’t matter whether Archie had risked his life or not to block the knife for Emma. Also, Emma’s anxiety and worry for him, such sincere feelings, were simply moving.
He could not help but ask himself if it was him at that time, would he also have the courage to block that blade?
The answer was yes.
If I was also covered in blood and lying in the operating theater to save myself, Emma would only be grateful and touched to me.
Would she have that kind of worry and uneasiness that came from the bottom of her heart?
Only those who loved each other could stimulate that kind of heart-breaking expression.
His heart was aching, stuffy, and uncomfortable, and it stifled his heart.
Yoseph clenched his fists tightly and smashed them hard on the bed. He wanted to vent the pain in his heart that he could not beg for.
Maybe he should really calm down and not go crazy without caring about anything else.
The highest realm of love is to let go.
It’s time for him to slowly cultivate that realm now. Not like a wild beast that has lost its mind and can’t even control its own desires, the consequences would truly be unimaginable.
Love is also a person’s proud love, not a humble begging.
The door to the room was suddenly pushed open. The person who came in was Old Master Wolfleim.
“Grandpa!” Yoseph quickly tidied his expression and sat up from the bed.
Old Master Wolfleim did not have a good rest these two days because he was worried about his grandson’s personal feelings.
“Yoseph, I have decided to go to Sandford Family for you and ask for this marriage. No matter what, grandpa doesn’t want to see you lose your soul. As a man, you should fight, whether it is love or career. . .”
“Grandpa, don’t go!” Yoseph interrupted his grandpa’s words and laughed at himself. “I have decided to give up on her.”
“Give up?” Old Master Wolfleim could not believe it. He asked curiously, “Why did you give up again? When did you figure it out?”
“Just now, since I was destined to be unrelated to her, I should accept the arrangement of fate. Yes, I accept my fate. Archie is my brother. If they can be happy, I have value in giving up.” Yoseph looked at his grandfather. The corner of his mouth was slightly raised, but his smile was bitter.
Old Master Wolfleim stretched out his hand and gently patted his shoulder. “I am most relieved that you can figure this out. If you really don’t want this girl, I won’t have a headache.”
“Grandpa, don’t worry about me. Go and rest.” Yoseph felt guilty when he saw that his grandpa had not been in good spirits for the past two days.
Of course, Old Master Wolfleim could sleep in peace. Before he left, he stood at the door and said, “Do you need grandpa to introduce you to a few partners?”
“Grandpa, I don’t hate marrying!” Yoseph shook his head speechlessly.
“Stinking brat, what are you pretending to be a proper person for!” Old Master Wolfleim smiled happily and closed the door.
Yoseph himself also laughed twice. “That’s right, Yoseph. From now on, you better pretend to be a proper person.”
Archie, you have to give her happiness. If she gets hurt, I’m afraid I won’t be so merciful as to give up again.
Emma stood beside Archie and fell asleep.
When the sky was slightly bright, James came in and woke her up.
“What time is it?” Emma asked in confusion.
“It’s almost six o’clock!”
“Then I have to leave quickly. I can’t let the people of Grafton Family see me.” Emma was about to stand up as she spoke.
Suddenly, her wrist was gently grabbed by a large palm.
Emma looked over in shock and only then did she realize that Archie had unknowingly woken up. His serene eyes looked at her reluctantly.
“Don’t you want to stay?” Archie asked her a little tiredly. Obviously, he hadn’t rested well either.
“Your grandfather will come. I cannot meet him!” Emma shook her head. Even though she did not want to leave, she had to leave.
Archie sighed and let go of his big hand. “Sorry, my grandfather’s health is not good. I can’t let him suffer any more stimulation during this period of time.”
His eyes were full of guilt and it made Emma’s heart hurt. How could she be so insensible?
“It’s fine. The old man’s health is more important. It’s not like we can’t meet again. I will leave first.” Emma steeled her heart and took the thermos she brought before turning around and leaving.
“You go and see her!” Archie told James.
James nodded and followed him out.
Emma returned home and slept on the bed for a while. When she looked at the time, it was already past nine o’clock.
She decided to go to work. Anyway, staying at home would let her imagination run wild.
Seeing Emma appear in the company’s lobby, everyone looked over in surprise.
Emma secretly sucked in a deep breath. Why were they all looking at her like that?
Was it because of the matter of her being kidnapped yesterday that made them feel that she was not pleasing to the eye?
Just as she was thinking, Emma had already taken the elevator to the Design Department.
Suddenly, she discovered that there were six bodyguards in black standing at the entrance of the Design Department.
How could there be bodyguards here? Did some big shot come?
Emma stepped into the office and Kevin hurried over. “Emma, Old Master Grafton is waiting for you in the office!”
Old Master Grafton had just retired for three years, so everyone still had a good impression of him.
When Emma heard this, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her whole body became stiff and cold.
Old Master Grafton finally came to talk to her alone.
Her footsteps were a little weak. She took a deep breath and decided to go in and face him.
She pushed open the door. She saw Old Master Grafton sitting on a chair with a solemn expression. When he saw her, he said in a serious tone, “Miss Emma, sit down and talk.”
Emma’s heart skipped a beat. It was over. Old Master Grafton did not come with good intentions.
Emma sat down on the chair beside him. When she saw Old Master Grafton making a cup of hot tea next to her, she smiled bitterly. She did not even have the chance to be attentive.
“I will tell you the purpose of my visit. I object to you meeting Archie again. As for your marriage, don’t think about it anymore. I will not agree to it even if I die.” Every word of Old Master Grafton was filled with dignity, and no one dared to ignore it.
Emma’s heart sank to the bottom, but she no longer felt panic and fear.
Since she could not be any luckier, then she would accept this cruel reality.
“You have your persistence, and I also have my persistence. I will not change the fact that I love Archie!” Emma did not contradict him with her strong attitude. She just calmly answered his words.
Old Master Grafton snorted angrily. “You even dare to lie about the child. This proves that there is a problem with your character. My Grafton Family only has one heir. If he marries the wrong woman and destroys three generations of my family, my attitude will never change. I can’t let a woman like you, who is full of lies, give birth to Archie’s child.”
Although Emma was mentally prepared, she was still hit hard.
Being labeled as a swindler was really uncomfortable.
“Grandpa Grafton, you are a very respectable elder. I can understand that you love your grandson. But do you think love can be avoided?” Emma was actually a little angry. She felt that she was not the only unreasonable person.
After all, Old Master Grafton was a businessman who had been through battles for a long time. He definitely would not get angry just because of Emma’s words.
“I’ll give you 50 million. Please leave my grandson.” Old Master Grafton did not want to reason with her anymore. Because things that money could solve did not need to be talked about anymore.
Emma’s heart suddenly shrank, and coldness spread from her fingertips to her entire body.
“I don’t need your money, and I can’t leave his side either.” Emma suppressed the sadness and anger in her heart and calmly replied.
“I didn’t expect that you would be so ambitious at such a young age. Fifty million is a money that you will never be able to earn in your lifetime. It seems like you still think it’s too little. That’s right, our Grafton Family is indeed very rich. But the most valuable one is still my grandson. I heard that you got divorced last time. You didn’t take a single cent. It seems like. . . I underestimated you.” Old Master Grafton’s eyes were sharp, carrying a sense of dignity and ridicule.
Emma laughed lightly, “To me, the more the better, but there is only one person I like.”
“Emma, I have already said good things to you. Next, I will tell you. If you are still stubborn, you might not even be able to keep your life.” Old Master Grafton’s attitude was his usual business style.
Emma trembled in fear and looked at the dignified old man in front of her in disbelief.
“If I die, your grandson will be sad.” Facing such a cruel threat, Emma’s heart was filled with despair.
“What a man values is always his career, not a woman. Don’t overestimate your own weight.” Old Master Grafton answered confidently.
Emma smiled sadly. “Maybe, but not everyone can abandon their true love. I believe that even if I die, Archie will remember me for the rest of my life.”
“Little girl, you are very brave and courageous. Not everyone can face the terrifying topic of death. But I am not joking with you. Luisa is the only granddaughter-in-law in my eyes. I will never acknowledge you.” Old Master Grafton could not help but look at Emma in a different light.
Emma was hit hard and her face turned pale.
“If you really love Archie, you should know what to do to make him better. Yes, I admit that he has fallen in love with you. He even gave up his life for you. This kind of love. . . It makes me, this old man, very worried that he would rather marry a woman he loves for the rest of his life. . . I don’t want him to get hurt again for you, I can’t afford to bet. . . Do you understand?” Old Master Grafton wasn’t completely confident. On the contrary, He came to find Emma because of uneasiness.
Emma’s heart once again broke into pieces. It turned out that deep love for each other was a sin.
Old Master Grafton stood up and said. “I hope you can think clearly. Love a person. Do you want to hurt him or let him live a good life?”
The door was opened and Old Master Grafton left.
Emma held back her tears as they fell one by one.
