Emma could not help but tremble. She put down her hand that was covering her face and looked at Yoseph. “Yoseph, are you serious?”
“I have always been serious. Can’t you see?” Yoseph’s handsome face was full of injuries. When had he not been serious?
Emma was amused by his injured expression and laughed. “Yoseph, you are such a good person. It is a pity that I did not meet you earlier. Maybe I met you before Archie, so we are naturally together. Regardless of whether I want to return to Sandford Family or not, you are still my fiancé in name.”
“I also want to get to know you sooner, but the heavens didn’t arrange it for me, so I am destined to be in love with you wrongly.” Yoseph’s eyes were fixed on her pale face. As he spoke, he was laughing at himself for being as stubborn as a fool.
Emma wanted to say something but felt the body of the plane shaking. Finally, the plane started to glide on the runway.
“Ah. . . ” Emma was so scared that she tightly grabbed the seatbelt in front of her chest.
“Don’t be afraid. This is a very normal shaking!” Yoseph saw that she was so scared that she tightly gripped the seatbelt. Her beautiful eyes were still tightly closed, so he immediately comforted her.
“This. . . This is my first time. . . Taking a plane!” When Emma said this, her small face had already turned a little red.
God, what a shame. This is my first time taking a plane and I am actually so afraid. Yoseph will definitely laugh at me.
Yoseph’s handsome face was also filled with surprise, but he didn’t say anything. Because no matter what he said, Emma might have heard it as mocking words.
Didn’t women love to let their imagination run wild and create something out of nothing?
“Relax. When the plane takes off, there will be nothing to be afraid of.” Yoseph could only use a gentle tone to try his best to comfort her.
Emma’s face was bitter. She could only take two deep breaths to calm herself down.
It was so embarrassing.
Finally, the plane slid across the runway and rose into the air. After reaching a certain height, all the trembling stopped and everything returned to normal.
Emma finally caught her breath but her ears felt somewhat deaf. She swallowed her saliva and could hear again.
What a strange feeling.
“You have grown so big, have you never gone out to play before?” Yoseph asked casually.
Emma naturally understood what he meant, so she could only answer truthfully, “I went out to play. I either took the subway or the train. Actually, since I was born, I rarely went out. I always played around the capital.”
Yoseph frowned. Logically speaking, Emma’s living standards should not be too bad since she lived in the Quinsley Family. Why hadn’t she even taken a plane before?
It seemed like the Quisnley Family must have mistreated her.
Yoseph couldn’t help but want to feel sorry for her when he thought of the unsatisfactory life she had when she was young.
Emma’s face was still a little hot. She lowered her head, held a cup of water, and drank a few more mouthfuls of water.
Yoseph lazily leaned on the single sofa and suddenly said, “What I said just now, do you want to think about it?”
“What is it?” Emma’s eyes were a little surprised.
“I will bring you to the birthday banquet. I have already found out. Old Master Grafton’s sanatorium was only half an hour’s drive away from the city, so. . . The birthday feast is held in a seven-star hotel in the city, and I’m staying in this hotel. If you want to sneak into the banquet hall, I can help you. . . Also, I won’t let Old Master Grafton find you.” Yoseph still hoped that she could accompany him.
When Emma heard these words, her nerves tensed up. She instinctively shook her head. “No, I won’t go and cause trouble. I’ll find another hotel to stay in.”
“The hotels beside are basically all five-star hotels. You are alone in a foreign country and it will be a problem for you to communicate. Are you sure you want to go out and stay alone?” Yoseph was concerned about her.
Emma’s small face immediately jumped down. That’s right, Yoseph pointed out an important point, which was the problem of communication.
“My English is not bad. I can still communicate normally.” Emma said confidently. The main reason she learned English was because she wanted to go to Country Y to see her mother.
Unfortunately, after working hard for so many years, she got the news that her mother had passed away. It really made her heart ache.
“You don’t look safe. I don’t trust you to go to another hotel alone.” Yoseph’s tone was somewhat resentful.
Emma looked at him gratefully. “Thank you for caring about me, but I really don’t want to stay in the hotel where Old Master Grafton’s birthday banquet is held. Besides, you said it was a seven-star hotel. It must be very expensive. I can’t afford such an expensive hotel.”
“You still need to spend money to travel with me?” Yoseph’s brows instantly knitted together. He felt as if he was slandering him.
Emma said with a serious face, “Yoseph, I can’t spend your money. You already let me take the plane for free, how can I still dare to make you pay?”
“Why do you have to be so calculative with me? Hmm?” Yoseph’s tone was filled with dissatisfaction.
“It’s not a fuss. This is my personal principle. I don’t like to spend other people’s money carelessly.” Emma forced a smile and explained.
Yoseph suffered a small blow again, but this method was very much Emma’s!
She had to make everything clear. Wasn’t this her personality?
He should respect her principles. Besides, she was Archie’s woman now, and she wouldn’t lack money to spend.
“If that’s the case, then alright! If there’s anything, call me at any time.” Yoseph said straightforwardly.
“This phone of mine. . . Can it be used in X Country?”
“No. So, when I get to X Country, I’ll give you a new phone!” Yoseph said and clapped his hands.
Wira instantly walked in. “Young master, what orders do you have?”
“Where’s the phone I asked you to prepare?” Yoseph asked lazily.
“Wait a minute!” Wira turned around and went out. He quickly returned with a white and delicate phone in his hand.
Yoseph took the phone and looked at it. He handed it to Emma. “This phone will be lent to you temporarily.”
“This. . . Then thank you so much!” Emma hesitated. She thought about it and realized that the phone had to be tasted. Since Yoseph said he would lend it to her, she did not hold back.
Yoseph saw her take the phone away and a faint smile appeared in his deep eyes.
The sky outside the window was getting brighter and brighter. After the plane passed through the clouds, they could see a more comforting sky.
Emma was on the plane for the first time and naturally had all kinds of novelty. She laid in front of the window like a child and her eyes were bright. She looked at the clouds outside the window and was lost in thought.
Yoseph sat by the side and looked at her with a gloomy gaze. There was a faint sense of satisfaction in his heart.
At this moment, another huge private plane stopped in the X Nation International Airport. It was eight o’clock in the morning.
A high-end car drove out of the cabin.
The elevator of the plane slid down and a tall and elegant figure elegantly stepped down.
On the young and handsome face, there was a hint of weariness. Once Archie sat in the car, he immediately turned on his phone.
He made a call.
“Uncle Suan, make a breakfast and send it to Emma!”
After Archie finished instructing Uncle Suan, he hung up the phone and leaned back in his seat. He was no longer sleepy.
The phone flipped between his slender fingers, but his thoughts became deeper.
Thinking of the lost beautiful face yesterday, Archie’s heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife.
If possible, he was really willing to take her anywhere in the world. He only wanted to calm her tightly knitted brows.
However, he didn’t dare to bring her to X Country to attend his grandfather’s birthday banquet. His grandfather couldn’t be provoked anymore, and he didn’t dare to make his grandfather collapse again.
Archie deeply sighed. Facing her pair of clear and sincere big eyes, he still lied. God knew how much guilt and shame he felt.
However, he didn’t dare let her know the truth of the matter. He was afraid that she would let her imagination run wild and that she would be even more disappointed.
He really hoped that little thing could understand his difficulties. When he returned this time, he had to pamper her even more.
The phone suddenly rang again. Archie looked at his hand and answered. “What did you do? How did it go?”
“Young master, 20 million has been transferred to Miss Emma’s personal bank account!”
“Yes, I know!” Not long after Archie hung up the phone, another call came in.
Archie relaxed his brows and continued to answer.
“The roses were shipped back early in the morning. I will send them to Miss Emma now.”
“Remember to put the cards I wrote on it!” Archie reminded her lightly.
In fact, Archie had done a lot of comforting and compensating work for the lie this time. Of course, these were all given to that little thing as a surprise.
When the car drove into Master Grafton’s villa, Archie’s phone rang again.
It was Uncle Suan.
Archie frowned and answered, “What is it, Uncle Suan?”
“Young master, I knocked on the door for a long time. Miss Emma just didn’t open the door. Did something happen to her?”
“Break the door and see what’s going on. Immediately!” Archie’s handsome face instantly sank. His tone was extremely anxious.
Following Archie’s command, Uncle Suan immediately kicked open Emma’s door. The door was not very solid.
When the door fell, Uncle Suan hurriedly walked in to check the situation. When he found that there was no Emma in the room, his tone became even more anxious. “Young master, Miss Emma is not home.”
Archie’s whole body instantly tensed up. His face darkened and his tone could not hide his panic. “Hurry up and find her. No matter what, we must find her.”
“Yes, young master!” Uncle Suan responded quickly.
Archie hurriedly hung up the phone and pulled out Emma’s phone.
However, what prompted him was that the other party had turned off the phone. Archie’s handsome face instantly became stiff to the extreme.
“Emma, did something happen to you?”
Just as Archie was in a chaotic and anxious mood, Luisa suddenly pushed Old Master Grafton’s wheelchair and walked over from the small path in the garden.
A layer of frost immediately formed in Archie’s eyes.
