It’s like an atomic bomb has fallen into your ears. Emma was so shocked that she could not speak properly, “Ar. . . Archie, why did you answer the phone? Isn’t this Yoseph’s phone? Are you with him?”
“Em- ma!” Archie gritted his teeth and called out her name. Then, he almost shouted at her. “You’d better explain why you are with Yoseph.”
Emma was so scared that she trembled again. Did Archie’s tone sound like he was angry?
Why was he angry? She had not even started to yell at him. He was a big liar.
“Archie, you haven’t even explained to me who you are with. Why do you want me to explain it to you? Besides. . . What is there for me to explain? I am going abroad to relax and travel. Do I need your approval?” Emma was in a bad mood at the moment. Archie did not ask anything. He did not say anything and just wanted her to give an explanation. She did not want it.
Archie was stunned. He stared at the wall in front of him. Obviously, he didn’t expect this woman to be here. How could this be?
“Alright, I’ll explain it to you now. Today is my grandfather’s birthday, I’m here to congratulate him. I lied to you last night, and I didn’t go on a business trip. It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have lied to you. . . I should have told you the truth. Actually, there’s nothing to hide. I’m just hiding it from you because I don’t want to disappoint you. I don’t want to hurt you, Emma. Where are you? I’ll get someone to pick you up.” After Archie explained, he naturally wanted to know where she was the most.
Emma’s stomach was full of resentment. Because of his honesty, half of it disappeared in an instant. However, she felt that this could not disrupt her original plan just because Archie explained it clearly.
“Archie, I’m having quite a good time now. Don’t come looking for me. I still want to see more. Go ahead and do your thing. I’ll play with you.” Emma still felt a little stifled in her heart. Although she didn’t know what she was angry about, she clearly knew that she shouldn’t have messed with Grandpa Grafton’s birthday gift. However, she felt sour and angry.
Perhaps it was because Archie and Luisa were together at this moment.
Archie’s heart was stifled by her words again. He frowned and said in a strong tone: “I don’t trust you to play alone outside. I have to bring you back. I can only be at ease when I guarantee your safety.”
“I’m not a three-year-old anymore. Don’t worry, even without you. Haven’t I lived well until now?” Emma was also very stubborn. That’s right, she came to X Country. But she just didn’t want to see Archie here.
Archie had nothing to say after being stabbed by her. It seemed that this little thing was stubborn with him today.
“Then you should play first. After you have played enough, call my phone. You are not allowed to call Yoseph anymore, understand?” Finally, Archie compromised. He felt that he had lost control of himself a long time ago. Towards this woman, he was no longer the person who controlled the whole situation.
Under such silent circumstances, she actually came to X Country with Yoseph to play.
This situation made Archie very angry. Of course, to be more precise, he was jealous and panicked.
In the past, he could use the word ‘wife’ to stop her from interacting with other men, but now. . . The word ex-wife, was it effective?
“Got it, I’m hanging up!” Emma lightly replied and hung up the phone.
The wonderful performance on the water just now had even attracted a wave of applause at this moment. Emma did not have the mood to shout anymore.
She sat on the chair blankly. The cheering from the surrounding crowd seemed to have nothing to do with her. She seemed to be out of place.
Archie knew that she had come to X Country?
Why didn’t Yoseph keep it a secret for her? This Yoseph was not loyal enough.
Her heart was in complete chaos.
However, she thought about it again. She shouldn’t have been affected just because Archie knew she was in X Country.
Since she was here to play, shouldn’t she play to her heart’s content?
“Zack, let’s go. Let’s go somewhere else to take a look!”
Zack silently followed behind her, not daring to be careless at all.
Archie held Yoseph’s phone and returned to his side, his face gloomy.
Yoseph pulled his phone back from his hand and the corner of his mouth curled up. “Jealous?”
“Yoseph, your means are not bad. You tricked her so easily.” Archie sneered.
“Cheating? Archie, Even if you are jealous of my ability, you shouldn’t destroy me like this. I didn’t lie to her. She was the one who obediently followed me here.” Yoseph said in a calm and conceited manner.
Archie didn’t want to argue with him, because there was no longer any meaning to it.
Besides, knowing that she was safe now had already made Archie heave a sigh of relief.
He quickly took out his phone and call Dexon, telling him that he had found Emma.
Dexon was also very anxious. He only calmed down when he heard that she was safe and sound.
Luisa stood beside Old Master Grafton. She was smiling, but her eyes were looking at Yoseph and Archie from time to time.
When she saw the smoke rising between them, she was sure that it was because of Emma that they were secretly competing with each other. Her mood instantly turned bad.
Now, everyone was circling around Emma? Too detestable.
When it was time for dinner, she had to find an opportunity to get along with Archie alone, and. . .
Thinking of the packet of powder that was hidden in her bag, Luisa’s lips curled up in a pleased manner.
Even if she slept with Archie, Grandpa Grafton would definitely be very happy.
Humph, Emma, I must get this man back, no matter what means I use.
Around eleven o’clock, another person came in.
“Mom, grandma, you guys are here!” Luisa went up to them with a happy face and immediately showed daughter’s tender look.
Madame Sandford frowned and looked at Luisa and sighed in her heart.
Minlan’s mood was also very complicated. Along the way, she had also quarreled with the old lady about who was going to marry into the Grafton Family.
However, in front of Old Master Grafton, Minlan didn’t dare to argue anymore. She immediately went forward and congratulated him with a smile.
Old Master Grafton saw Madame Sandford and immediately stood up from the wheelchair. “Sister-in-law, it is rare that you came all the way here. I did not welcome you from afar. Please do not blame me.”
Old Master Grafton had always called Madame Sandford sister-in-law because Madame Sandford’s husband was two years older than him and the old man from the Wolfleim Family. It was a respectful title.
“Brother Grafton, you are too polite. I have been bored in the country. I can take this opportunity to come out and relax and take a breath.” Madame Sandford replied with a faint smile.
“Grandfather, Grandmother, don’t be so polite. Sit down first. After such a long journey, you must be exhausted. I will go and get you a cup of water!” Luisa immediately said with a smile.
Old Master Garfton looked at Luisa and praised, “Sister-in-law taught a good child. Luisa and Archie are becoming more and more compatible.”
Minlan wanted to say something but was stopped by Madame Sandford’s sharp eyes.
Minlan could only lower her head and did not dare to say anything.
Madame Sandford faintly looked at Old Master Grafton’s satisfied smile and said, “Brother Grafton. I came to see you today for the sake of the younger generation. You have taken a fancy to my Luisa. I can only say that you have a good eye. Whether it is appearance or character, Luisa was taught from a young age. Of course, I have something more important to discuss with you now.”
“Mom. . . Now is not the time to talk. Why don’t we wait until the banquet is over and find a quiet place to talk?” Minlan’s heart was shocked. She was not afraid that the old lady would be unhappy and directly advised her.
The old lady looked at the bustling hall. There were many people coming and going and there were many guests. Furthermore, Old Master Grafton kept asking them to greet and could only listen to Minlan’s advice.
“What does sister-in-law want to tell me?” Old Master Grafton asked. After greeting someone, Old Master Grafton turned around and asked curiously.
The old lady immediately replied, “Forget it. You go ahead with your business first. I’ll tell you later.”
“Then please take care of yourself, Sister-in-law. I’ll let someone take care of you!” As soon as Old Master Grafton finished speaking, Ferdie, who was standing beside him, immediately greeted her with a smile. “Auntie, this way please.”
Archie sat in his seat. His mood was always a little stuffy, and his face was tense.
When he saw Madame Sandford and Minlan walking towards him, Archie’s spirits were lifted. He quickly stood up and walked towards the two of them.
“Auntie, grandma, you guys are here.” Archie’s face was full of smiles as he said.
The old lady liked Archie very much. When she saw him, she smiled. “Archie, why didn’t you bring Emma with you?”
“Mom. . .” Minlan, who was beside him, panicked when she heard her directly ask this question.
The old lady immediately glared at her daughter-in-law unhappily. “What? How long do you plan to hide this from me?”
“It’s not that I want to hide it from you. It’s Dexon. Before the election, he will not reveal it to the public for the time being.” Minlan immediately explained in a low voice.
“Outsiders? Archie was not an outsider. He is my grandson-in-law.” The old lady said with a smile. The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became.
At this moment, another tall figure appeared beside the two of them. It was Yoseph.
He also had a very amiable smile on his face. “Auntie, Grandma, long time no see. It’s rare to meet you here.”
Minlan was very polite to Yoseph. “That’s right. Yoseph, you rarely come to our Sandford Family as a guest.”
Madame Sandford’s pair of shrewd eyes looked at Archie, then at Yoseph, and then she sighed with emotion, “Sigh, it would be great if both of you could be my grandson-in-law.”
Archie and Yoseph’s expressions twitched unnaturally.
This old lady was really greedy.
“What are you talking about, grandma? We are your grandson-in-law. This marriage was arranged by you.” Yoseph immediately answered.
Archie’s expression was a little tense, although he could see that Grandma Sandford liked him very much and supported him dating Emma. But that was under the premise that she did not know that Yoseph liked Emma.
