Madame Sandford had expected Old Master Grafton to be a man of principle. Therefore, she had only asked tentatively just now.
“Brother, what do you think of my Emma?” Madame Sandford began to promote.
“Nothing much. Previously, she lied about pregnancy and lied to me. I don’t have a good impression of her.” Old Master Grafton still could not calm down. One should know how much expectation he had at that time. He had already sent people to buy the children’s clothes and all kinds of toys.
When one was old, one’s mind would also become purer. Old Master Grafton’s health wasn’t good, so he couldn’t wait to hug his grandson.
Hence, Emma lied to him that she was pregnant, and that was equivalent to being sentenced to death.
Madame Sandford choked and laughed dryly twice. “Brother Grafton, I think there must be some misunderstanding in this. My Emma is so innocent, she would not lie about it. Maybe it was your grandson’s idea.”
“Sister-in-law, according to what you mean, it can’t be that you want Archie to remarry with your granddaughter, right? Then what about the Wolfleim Family?” Old Master Grafton let out a loud humph. He finally understood what was going on. However, such an action seemed unfair to the Wolfleim Family.
“Just tell them what to do. I don’t believe that the Wolfleim Family will let their only heir marry a second wife. They are so proud and conceited. Actually, I am worried that our second daughter will marry into their family. She must suffer grievances and be bullied. That is why I hope that she can remarry your son. After all. . . ”
“Sister-in-law, I understand what you mean, but I still insist that Luisa is more suitable to be my granddaughter-in-law. Luisa is also your granddaughter. Furthermore, she loves Archie so much.” Old Master Grafton’s tone was serious, as if he didn’t want to discuss it.
Madame Sandford immediately became angry. “Hey, Old Master Grafton, Luisa likes your Archie, but the person Archie likes is always Emma. You should be clear about this. Separate a pair of lovers. This kind of thing will be punished by the heavens. People always say that it’s better to tear down ten temples than to break up a marriage. Why are you so stubborn?”
Old Master Grafton frowned. “Sister-in-law, do you know that my grandson almost lost his life because of Emma? Can you understand the protection of a dying person’s bloodline? If that kind of thing happens again one day, do you want me to turn black with white hair?”
Madame Sandford saw that Old Master Grafton actually did not care about face at all. There was a flash of anger on her wrinkled face, “If anything happens to my Emma because of this, I will hate you till the bottom of my heart in my next life.”
This was the first time Old Master Grafton realized that when a woman was old, she could also be so unreasonable and willful.
“Sister-in-law. . .”
“Don’t, don’t call me that. I can’t accept it.” Madame Sandford was still angry.
“The agreement was made by you. No one has the right to go back on their words. I am only fulfilling the content of the agreement. It is not too much.” Old Master Grafton was also stubborn.
Madame Sandford knew that it was useless to argue with him. She could only exhale, “Alright, you can treasure your grandson. But let me tell you, if your grandson dares to hurt my granddaughter, I will not be finished with him.”
Old Master Grafton sighed earnestly, “I will discipline my own grandson well. I hope sister-in-law can marry Luisa to him.”
“You have already said that you will fulfill the terms of the agreement. Do I have any other choice? What I mean is. . . The agreement is dead, and the person is alive. Emma and your grandson fell in love when they did not know about it. Why should we forcefully separate them? The person is alive. Isn’t happiness the most important thing?” Madame Sandford said righteously.
Old Master Grafton was not moved at all. “What sister-in-law said makes sense, but. . . I only have one grandson. I really don’t want him to think that love is more important than his life. I can’t afford to bet. I can’t even afford to bet once.”
“Fine. I won’t say good things twice. If I know that your kid is pestering my Emma and not letting go, see if I don’t break his third leg!” Madame Sandford used to be a strong woman, but now, she was still strong.
Old Master Grafton’s face was a little stiff, but he didn’t dare to say anything in the end. He understood the principle of a good man not fighting with a woman.
Madame Sandford stood up and went back to her room to rest.
Old Master Grafton sat alone in the study and did not feel sleepy at all.
He looked at an old photo on the table. There was a beautiful woman sitting on the sofa with a smile on her face. She had an outstanding temperament.
“Do you understand what I’m doing?” This was a photo of the old lady from the Grafton Family.
Just as Old Master Grafton was in extreme grief, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
“Who’s outside?”
“Grandfather, it’s me!” Luisa’s sobbing voice came in.
Old Master Grafton immediately said, “It’s Luisa. Come in.”
Luisa walked in with her fluffy hair tied up. At this moment, it was a little messy. There were tears on her face and her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had been wronged.
Old Master Grafton was shocked when he saw her like this and said with concern. “Luisa, what is wrong with you? Who made you like this?”
Luisa was dragged into a guest room by James’s bodyguards and locked for an hour. She cried until her throat became hoarse.
“Grandfather, Archie, he. . . He booked a room with another woman in the hotel. . . Uh, I went to look for him. He even asked the bodyguards to drag me away and lock me up.” Luisa suffered all kinds of grievances and finally decided to report it.
“What? This bastard!” After Old Master Grafton heard this, he instantly became furious.
Luisa cried even more sadly and her tears fell down big. “Grandfather, am I really that bad? I can’t enter Archie’s eyes.”
“It’s none of your business! Are you sure he’s with another woman?” Old Master Grafton still cared a lot about Luisa, this granddaughter-in-law.
Luisa nodded her head vigorously. “Of course. I am sure that when I went to look for him, his clothes. . . Were not neat.”
“I know. I will call him back now. Go back to your room and wash your face first! Don’t cry!” After Old Master Grafton persuaded Luisa to leave, he picked up his phone and dialed Archie’s number.
Archie was still sitting on the sofa in the hotel. When he heard his phone ring, he glanced over.
It was his grandfather!
Luisa really went back to report? This damn woman really thought too highly of herself.
“Hey, grandpa!”
“Where are you? Which woman are you fooling around with? Do you know how much Luisa suffered? Come back immediately!” Old Master Grafton’s tone was very angry.
“Okay, I will go back immediately! Grandpa, don’t be angry!” As Archie spoke, he got up and walked towards the door.
Old Master Grafton still wanted to say something, but Archie had already hung up.
On the way back to the sanitation villa, Archie had already received news that the hotel’s monitoring record had been removed.
This way, even if his grandfather wanted to investigate, he would not be able to pursue Emma.
When Archie returned to the villa, he was told by a servant. “Young Master, the old master wants you to go to the study room as soon as you come back.”
“Got it!” Archie was ready to be scolded. He did not expect Luisa to gain the trust of his grandfather.
He had really underestimated her ability.
Archie pushed open the door of the study and saw his grandfather sitting in a wheelchair. He was leaning against the window and looking out the window.
“Grandpa, I’m back! It’s so late, why haven’t you rested yet?” Archie asked gently.
“What woman are you with tonight?” Old Master Grafton asked directly.
Archie’s mind turned. If he admitted that he had another woman, would his grandfather divert his attention to Emma?
“She’s just a girl I knew before.” This should not be considered lying to his grandfather. He knew Emma as well.
“When did you become so cynical? Are you going to learn from your father? A woman’s beauty is a disaster. If you continue to be so absurd, sooner or later you will fall into the hands of a woman.” Old Master Grafton scolded him heavily.
“Grandfather is right. I will pay attention next time.” Archie immediately changed his expression, knowing that he had made a mistake.
“I heard that you will still look for Emma recently. Wake up. Just now Madame Sandford told me about Emma’s identity. You are even more unsuitable for her, understand?”
Archie was shocked. Madame Sandford actually said Emma’s identity?
“If Madame Sandford did not take the initiative to tell me, how long are you going to hide it from me?” Old Master Grafton forcefully patted the armrest and stared at him sternly. “Stay away from Emma. Don’t make a joke out of her.”
“Grandpa, I have been busy with work recently. I don’t want to talk about relationships.” Archie used his career as an excuse and wanted to shut his grandpa’s mouth first.
Old Master Grafton looked at this shrewd and evil grandson and knew he was running away.
“Alright. Grandfather won’t force you to marry Luisa now, but you should treat her better. Don’t bully her so easily.” Old Master Grafton frowned and tried to persuade him.
“Got it!” Archie didn’t dare to contradict his grandfather. He was afraid that his body wouldn’t be able to take it, so he agreed to everything for the time being.
“Go and find Luisa now and apologize to her. This is an order from your grandfather!” Old Master Grafton said. His tone was serious.
Archie looked at his grandfather’s dignified expression and could only nod his head. “Alright, I’ll go look for her now.”
After Archie walked out of his grandfather’s study, his handsome face recovered a layer of frost. He walked with heavy steps to the guest room where Luisa lived.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
After the door opened, Luisa was only wearing a pair of transparent pajamas. Her long hair was half wet and draped over her shoulders.
“Archie? Did grandpa ask you to come and find me?” Luisa pretended to be sexy and combed her hair. Her tone carried a proud smile.
Archie’s cold gaze swept across her body and walked in.
Luisa did not expect Archie to actually enter her room. Just as she was about to be happy, she heard Archie’s cold blow on her. “Even if you take off all your clothes and stand in front of me, I have no interest in you. Don’t waste your time trying to seduce me.”
Luisa was just about to reach out and pull down her clothes a little more when she heard his hurtful words. Her movements froze.
“Since you don’t like me, why are you still here?” As Luisa spoke, she walked to the small wine cabinet beside her and poured two glasses of wine with her back facing Archie. She also took the opportunity to pour the powder into one of the glasses.
“It’s my fault today, Archie. I will apologize to you.” Luisa carried a glass of wine to Archie and said sincerely.
