Emma stared blankly at the couple on the television. They were acting as a couple, which made people feel fascinated.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Emma jumped up from the sofa and quickly rushed to the door.
She had experienced two dangerous incidents before, so she had learned to be alert.
She opened the cat’s eye on the door and looked outside. She saw Archie’s handsome face.
She felt relieved and quickly tidied her messy long hair. Then, she pretended to walk over and open the door.
“You’re here?” Her voice was soft.
Archie stood in front of her door with one hand in the pocket of his suit. He looked down at her.
Emma blinked her beautiful eyes. Why hasn’t this man stepped in yet?
Could it be that he disliked her house being too small? Couldn’t tolerate his noble status?
When she thought of this, Emma suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Her small face turned red. “That. . . If you don’t plan to come in.”
The man took a long step and stepped in.
Emma was standing in the middle of the door when he suddenly barged in. The distance between the two of them was almost zero.
He stuck close to her with an evil aura.
Emma was shocked by his sudden ambiguous action and gasped for breath. She instinctively took a step back.
A large palm suddenly appeared on her waist and grabbed onto her small waist that she could not hold tight to. Not only did it not make her retreat an inch, but it also lifted her small waist, making her even closer to his embrace.
“Archie. . .” Emma did not dare to breathe loudly. Being disturbed by this man’s overbearing and domineering actions, her heart was in chaos. She could only mutter his name.
“You knew Yoseph liked you?” The man leaned slightly and his thin lips pressed against her ear. He exhaled hot air. The sound was neither light nor heavy, but it contained a hint of danger.
Emma’s entire body tensed up and her beautiful eyes widened because of the shock.
Archie was angry, she could feel it. And that kind of hostility made her feel uneasy.
“Archie, why do you ask?” Emma did not know where he heard this news from, but since he asked, it meant that Archie cared.
Who was it? The only person who knew about her relationship with Yoseph was Tasya.
Could Tasya have told him?
If that was really the case, Then her friendship with her had really come to an end.
“What? You won’t even allow me to ask? You’re playing with other men. Where do you put me?”
Archie’s tone was like ice, and his anger was burning even more.
Emma shook her head and explained to herself, “No, I have never played with him. I really did not.”
“If you did not respond to him, why would he like you?” Archie’s heart ached. He was also extremely vexed.
The more Emma heard, the more suspenseful she became. She frowned, “Where did you hear about this matter from?”
“I had a meeting with Yoseph today. After the meeting, we talked about you. He said he liked you and wanted to compete with me fairly.” Archie’s eyes were locked on her small face as he spoke indifferently.
Emma was shocked and her small face quickly turned pale. She bit her lips and said, “I really did not expect him to say such things to you directly.”
“If he did not tell me personally, when do you plan to tell me about this matter?” Archie still felt that this woman was dishonest and hid such an important thing from him. He was really unhappy.
Emma turned her eyes away and did not dare to look at him. She only sighed and said, “Archie, I definitely did not want to hide it from you. Yoseph is your friend. I really do not want to break the relationship between you two. That’s right. Yoseph has confessed to me before, but I have never responded to him. You must believe me.”
Archie locked her sad little face tightly. Then, he let go of the large palm on her waist and walked towards her small sofa. He sat down tiredly. “Of course I believe you. If you really had something to do with him, he wouldn’t have said he wanted to compete with me today. I’m afraid my head would have turned green a long time ago.”
When Emma heard him say that, the corner of her mouth couldn’t help but raise, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you wear a green hat.”
“If you dare, then try it!” Archie’s cold eyes swept towards her.
Emma pouted and said, “This sentence, can I also say it to you?”
Archie lazily raised his eyes to look at her and then nodded. “Of course. Don’t worry. I won’t let you suffer.”
Emma heard this and the corner of her mouth curved. “You said it yourself. If I see you flirting with other women one day, I don’t want you anymore!”
“You dare to reject me?” Archie sat up straight and looked at her smiling on the wall. He hooked his finger and said, “Come here!”
Emma walked in front of him in a few steps and asked with a smile, “What is it?”
“I am hungry!” Archie’s voice was low and pleasant, full of magnetic force.
“Oh, I was just about to cook. Since you are already here. . . I will start cooking now. . . ” Emma clearly misunderstood the meaning of his words.
In the next second, her wrist was tightly gripped by the man and she directly laid on the man’s chest.
“Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? When a man is hungry, it does not refer to his stomach but here!” Archie grabbed one of her small hands and brought it down.
Emma’s beautiful eyes instantly became big.
“Did you feel it? I haven’t had it for so many days. I am so hungry that I feel uncomfortable.” Archie’s voice was hoarse and difficult to describe.
Emma’s small face had already turned red. She immediately wanted to push him away. “Don’t tell me that you came to find me just for this?”
Archie’s handsome face froze and his voice was still low and hoarse. “I came to find you, of course, because I want to see you.”
“Is that so?” Emma was no longer the wife role that he could take whenever he wanted. She deliberately pushed him away and slowly walked to the kitchen. “I’m hungry too. But I’m hungry!”
For the first time, Archie felt like he had been rejected. His handsome eyes were covered with a faint layer of sadness.
He put down the noble Big young master and took the initiative to follow Emma to the small kitchen.
He gently hugged her slender waist from behind and placed his sexy chin on her shoulder. “Emma, you can’t bear to. . . ”
Emma had goosebumps all over her body. F*CK, this man actually withdrew his coquettish behavior.
Furthermore. . . Why did she feel weak all over when she heard his deep voice?
“Go away, Archie. I am not your wife anymore. And I’m not your lover either. And I’m not your girlfriend anymore.” Emma steeled her heart and still had a face of rejection.
When Archie heard that the three of them were not, a faint layer of sadness appeared on his handsome face.
“It’s my fault. If you hate me, I will also accept it. But I really miss you. I miss you every minute and every second.”
“I really didn’t expect Young Master Archie to be so mushy when talking about love.” Emma turned around and looked at him with disdain.
Archie’s expression froze again. This woman actually turned a blind eye to his sadness and instantly broke his heart into pieces.
“Alright, if you don’t forgive me, I’ll leave now. I won’t disturb your quiet life anymore.” Archie also wanted to say something harsh.
Emma’s smile deepened. She turned the fire on and put it in the pot.
“Okay. If you want to leave, I won’t see you off.”
“Emma. . .” How could Archie bear to leave? But staying here, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Emma poured the washed vegetables into the pot and started to stir-fry them.
“What is it? Didn’t you say you wanted to leave? Why haven’t you left yet?” Emma winked at him with a smile that could make people die of anger.
“There has never been a woman who dares to play tricks on me!” Archie secretly gritted his teeth and said.
Emma curled her lips disapprovingly. “Is that so? Then you can also not buy my account.”
Archie looked at this little woman’s smug look with her tail wagging, and for some reason, his heart softened.
“Woman, you have successfully aroused my interest. So, I have decided to stay and develop further with you.” Archie immediately shamelessly continued to stick to her back. The large palm gently rubbed her lower abdomen. “Since you are hungry, let’s eat first.”
Emma was amused by his domineering tone and could only stop teasing him.
“Archie, has your grandfather gone back?”
“Yes, he went back yesterday!” Archie stood at the side and handed the plate to her.
“Do we have to be so secretive when we meet in the future?”
Archie froze. “My grandfather sent a few people to monitor my every move.”
Emma secretly let out a breath. “I know!”
“I’m not weak. I just don’t want grandfather to have an excuse to hurt you. My grandfather’s actions are more ruthless than mine. I’m afraid. . . ”
Emma immediately interrupted him. “I’m not angry. Really, as long as I can get along with you, no matter what kind of method, no matter how patient I have to wait, I can endure it.”
“Emma, do you hate me?” Archie grabbed her small hand, his tone full of self-blame and self-mockery.
“If a person can’t even keep his filial piety, how can I dare to entrust the rest of my life to him? Archie, your grandfather is your elder, you should respect him.” Emma smiled gently, as if she completely understood him.
The haze in Archie’s heart dissipated a little. He murmured, “How fortunate of me to be able to make you be so tolerant of me.”
Emma looked at him blankly. Then, she walked over and held his hand. “Come and take a seat. Have you had dinner?”
“It took me more than two hours to get rid of my grandfather’s people. Where would I have time for dinner?” Archie said with a pitiful look.
Emma laughed and gave him a bowl of rib corn soup. “Drink it.”
Archie took the bowl and chopsticks and drank a mouthful of soup. He felt the sweetness of the soup reaches his heart.
“You bought this house? Why did you buy such a small house?” Archie ate as he calmed down and looked at the small apartment.
“I can live alone!” Emma did not mind that the apartment was too small.
Archie frowned and wanted to say something, but Emma said before him, “Don’t say anything about giving me a house. I really think it’s good to live here!”
“Alright, as long as you are happy, it is up to you!” Archie decided not to avoid her preferences anymore.
