The atmosphere in the ward instantly froze. James held the shirt in his hand, looked left and right, and looked up and down. Although it was also a high and pure handmade shirt, it was very obvious that the size was wrong.
Archie’s eyes were really sharp. He actually easily found out that this was not his shirt.
Archie’s expression was already livid and ugly. He pulled the shirt away. When he saw that the size was not right, he threw it on the ground with one hand.
“Did you really find this shirt in my bedroom?” Archie’s eyes turned fiercely and stared at James.
James trembled and nodded immediately. “Yes, I did find it on the bed.”
“Damn it, how is this possible? Did a man come into my house?” Archie was about to die from anger.
James also boldly thought of it. “Young master, do you think there will be a thief who wants to go in and steal something? I left in a hurry just now, so I didn’t check properly.”
“Where did this shirt come from? Won’t you know if you check the surveillance cameras at the door? Investigate it immediately!” Archie’s voice was gloomy.
James quickly took out his laptop. He remembered that the monitoring system was connected to his laptop.
Archie stared at the shirt. He started to panic.
“I found it, young master. This shirt was worn by Miss Emma.” James’s voice trembled a few times. He really did not want to tell the cruel truth about the injured young master.
“Is it really her?” Archie’s handsome face instantly turned pale. He could not help but clench his large palm. “Why is she wearing a man’s shirt? Who is this damn man?”
“Young master, don’t get too excited. You can call Miss Emma and ask her about this.” James was really afraid that young master would pull out the needle to look for Emma now, so he could only use the method of calling to ask.
“Give me your phone!” Of course Archie wanted to ask. Besides, he had to ask clearly.
James quickly handed the phone over. Archie pressed the button very quickly, and his heart was already in a mess.
At this moment, Emma was sitting in the office, holding a cup of red dates and ginger tea. She was drinking slowly. It was raining today, and she was afraid of catching a cold, so she quickly tried to fix it.
Her phone suddenly rang!
She looked to the side and saw a familiar name appear on the screen.
Her heart panicked, and the hand holding the teacup nearly knocked the cup out.
“Archie, call me?” Emma quickly put the cup down and picked up her phone, but she was flustered.
Old Master Grafton’s words were like a huge rock, pressing down on her chest.
It made her feel uncomfortable and confused.
Should she continue to entangle herself with Archie?
Was it really time for them to calm down? If she hardened her heart and neglected Archie, wouldn’t Archie break up with her just like that?
Emma’s heart was bleeding when she thought of killing this love with her own hands.
But to make Archie choose to love her, but to hurt his own grandfather, it was also very cruel.
Emma took a deep breath and did not answer the phone. She let the phone continue ringing.
But Archie seemed to know that she wanted to retreat and kept calling her over and over again.
The originally melodious music was now being played repeatedly and it was grating to the ears.
Emma reached out her hand and covered her ears. She was begging in her heart.
Archie, stop calling!
Maybe it was her pleading that got the confirmation, or maybe Archie really gave up and the phone became quiet.
Emma stared blankly, and her eyes were filled with sourness.
No matter what. . .
She still had to bravely take the first step.
Fight, fight, love did not make the two of them better. Instead, it made their lives even more messy.
Emma suddenly wanted to return to the time when she had nothing in the past. At that time, she was carefree. At that time, she and Tasya, this good friend, could laugh and scold.
When she was dragged into this love affair between the rich and powerful, her life seemed to be messed up by a stick.
Her calm lake of heart was surging with waves.
She thought that with her passion, she could fearlessly love.
However, the cruelty of reality beat her back to her original form time and time again.
Love also required conditions. A moment of passion could never beat the ruthlessness of reality.
“Archie. Let us calm down. It’s not that I don’t love you. I will only love you more.” Emma muttered to the phone, just like what Yoseph had said. After going crazy, people would grow up.
It was her 21st birthday next month. She had to add a number to her age. She really needed to grow up.
In the ward, there was a violent crash. It was the sound of a cell phone shell smashing against a wall.
“Why didn’t she pick up my phone? Wasn’t she fine yesterday? What exactly is this woman doing?” Archie was on the verge of breaking down. He had made dozens of phone calls in a row. Even if she was deaf, she should have heard her phone ringing.
“Maybe Miss Emma is busy and did not see your call.”
“Don’t give her an excuse!” Archie was full of anger as he scolded James.
James was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. In his heart, he also had some complaints. What was wrong with Mis Emma?
Did she not know that young master was injured and could not be provoked? Why did she not even answer young master’s phone?
“Go and find her. No matter what, you have to bring her to me. . . Forget it, I’ll go myself!”
Sure enough, Archie pulled out the needle from the back of his hand and was about to get off the bed to put on clothes.
“Young master, don’t mess around. Your hand is bleeding. I’ll go and find her. You wait here. I will bring her to you.” James was shocked. He quickly pressed the bell and called the doctor over. Then, he quickly left the hospital.
The first place James thought of was Civada. At this time, Miss Emma might be working.
As expected, he found Emma who was working on the blueprint in the Design Department’s office.
Emma saw James and was both surprised and expected.
“Miss Emma, young master called you more than ten times. Why didn’t you answer?” James ran over and was still panting as he questioned her.
Emma lowered her head and continued to draw on the paper with the pen. She said faintly. “James, I’m working. If you have anything to say, can you wait until I get off work?”
“What’s wrong with you? Miss Emma, do you know how anxious young master is? He wants to see you now. Quickly come with me.” James saw that she was still in the mood to work and was completely impressed by her.
Emma pretended to be indifferent and looked at James. “Go back and tell him that my grandma is also sick. I might need to take care of my grandma after work, so I won’t go to his place.”
“Miss Emma, why did you suddenly become so cold and heartless? What did young master do wrong? He blocked the knife for you. How could you not care about him?” James was on the verge of breaking down. In fact, he was very angry.
Emma suppressed the rolling emotions in her heart and said with an expressionless face, “I know I hurt him. I am very sorry for him, but my grandma is really sick. . . ”
“Young master just pulled out the needle and wanted to come to you. I know your grandma is sick. You are very worried. Where is young master? Don’t you care about him?” James really wanted to take the rope and tie Emma up.
Emma’s heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife. It hurt so much that it was twitching.
However, she really hoped that there would be another turning point in the situation. She could not allow herself to continue loving him like this.
“Tell Archie that I will go over to see him later. Tell him not to be so impulsive. After all, his body is his own.” Emma’s tone still could not hide her sadness.
“When I go back and get young master a change of clothes today, there is a man’s shirt. I do not know how Miss Emma should explain it.” James directly asked the key question and stared at Emma.
Emma panicked. A man’s shirt?
Could it be the shirt Yoseph lent her?
“Yes. I borrowed that shirt from a friend. I was drenched today and he lent it to me to wear. Please return that shirt to me. I still need to return it to him.” Emma admitted it very generously. She did not even think about what kind of impact it would cause to Archie if she wore a man’s shirt.
“Miss Emma, you are really open-minded. You are actually wearing another man’s shirt. When you return to your and young master’s home, do you take young master seriously?” James was about to go crazy from anger. He felt that it was not worth it for young master.
Emma took a deep breath and smiled calmly. “James, I just borrowed someone’s clothes to wear. Is it against the law? This should be a very normal thing. It’s just that your thoughts are too complicated.”
James really felt that there was no need to continue communicating with her, so he turned around and left.
Emma’s tensed heartstrings were completely broken. Her entire body was limp and weak as she leaned on the chair.
She really did not expect that she actually had the talent to act.
Just now, she was clearly nervous to death, but why was she still so calm and at ease on the surface?
She did it, didn’t she?
Archie must have been driven mad by her.
She didn’t dare to imagine what the consequences would be. Emma had already decided to calm this relationship down.
If it was too crazy and passionate, it would burn each other and the result would be even more terrifying.
James angrily returned to the hospital. He pushed open the door and entered, but saw Ferdie sitting on the sofa, so he could only swallow his anger.
Archie’s eyes swept across James’s face. He suddenly said to Ferdie, “Dad, I have some business to discuss with James. Can you. . . ”
Ferdie nodded. “You guys talk! I’m going out to smoke a cigarette!”
Because he had given up on the right of succession, Ferdie was able to calmly accept everything.
James saw Ferdie leave and immediately said with some anger. “Young master, Miss Emma’s reaction is really infuriating. I asked her to come and see you, but she is not enthusiastic at all. She coldly said to let you take care of yourself.”
Archie’s handsome face, which was frozen in ice, was instantly filled with gloominess. “Did she really say that?”
“Yes. I asked about the shirt. She said she borrow it from a friend. She also said she wanted me to give the shirt to her. She wanted to return it.” James answered truthfully.
“Return it? Throw this shirt away!” Archie’s tone was cold, and his handsome face was filled with anger.
What was wrong with this woman?
