Emma naturally understood what the provocation in Luisa’s eyes was and she sneered.
Just as she was about to walk towards the living room, suddenly, a figure quickly followed behind her. It was Yoseph.
Emma was already one foot into the living room when Yoseph suddenly appeared beside her. This misunderstanding was huge, so there was no need to say anything.
Minlan saw the two of them return together and could not hide the joy on her face. She quickly walked over and said, “Young Master Yoseph, Emma, Young Master Archie is here. Come in and have a cup of tea first.”
Emma was stunned for a second. Her beautiful eyes quickly looked towards Archie because what she feared the most was that he would misunderstand.
When she hurriedly looked towards Archie, Archie did not look at her. Instead, he looked at the table indifferently.
Emma’s heart skipped a beat. It’s over, this jealous king is going to misunderstand her again.
She looked at Yoseph who was beside her with some resentment. Otherwise, he really would not let her go at all.
Luisa immediately laughed as well. “Why don’t you guys enjoy the flowers? Why don’t you spend more time alone?”
Archie’s deep gaze then swept across Emma’s small face.
Enjoy the flowers?
To be alone?
This little thing that needed to be taught a lesson. Was this the way to welcome him?
Emma did not want to say anything else and directly sat beside her grandmother. She asked with a sweet smile. “Grandma, I’ll peel a pear for you to eat. Do you want it?”
Luisa saw that she was actually so straightforward and came to curry favor with her grandma, so she immediately said, “Grandma’s teeth are not good, so she can’t eat hard things. You don’t have to work.”
“I want to eat! I wonder if Miss Emma can help me?” Suddenly, Archie’s gaze indifferently swept over and said.
Luisa’s expression suddenly became somewhat ugly.
Minlan’s expression also froze for a second, but she quickly reacted. “Luisa, hurry up and cut one for Young Master Archie.”
“I. . . Okay, Archie, I will cut it for you!” Luisa immediately said with a smile on her face.
Archie looked at Luisa’s flattering smile and immediately said with a fake smile, “Okay, then it will be troublesome.”
Emma held the fruit knife tightly in her small hand.
Did Archie start to interact with Luisa?
Madame Sandford saw Emma’s unnatural expression and quickly pushed her, “Emma, come upstairs with grandma. Grandma has something to give you.”
“Oh!” Emma was grateful for grandma’s timely help. Otherwise, the atmosphere would be very awkward.
Emma supported her grandmother and went upstairs. But in the living room, the scene of Luisa gently peeling the pear still made Emma feel an inexplicable pain.
She wanted to loudly announce to everyone that the man was mine and no one should snatch him away.
But she could not be overbearing.
Emma followed her grandmother into her room and Madame Sandford walked straight to her cabinet and opened a drawer.
“This is a gift from your grandfather when your grandmother was young. He said that it was a dragon and phoenix jade pendant passed down from their ancestors. I gave that phoenix jade pendant to Luisa and there is only this dragon left. Take it well.” After Madame Sandford finished speaking, she placed the jade pendant in Emma’s hands.
“Grandma, this thing is so precious and I cannot accept it. You should keep it for yourself. If you miss grandpa, you can take it out to take a look.” Emma immediately refused. She really couldn’t take it.
“Take it. Don’t be polite with grandma. Grandma can’t bring such a good thing into a coffin. In the past, I was planning to give it to your mother but my temper has always been bad with her. I didn’t give it to her.” Madame Sandford said very honestly.
Emma looked at her grandma with touched eyes and her eyes were slightly red. “Thank you, grandma. Then I will take it. I will take good care of it.”
“Well, Grandma still has one more thing to ask you. What’s with the lamp?” Madame Sandford looked at her very astutely and asked.
“Lamp? Didn’t I say just now? He gave it to me when I divorced Archie!” Emma replied softly.
“Nonsense! Do you think grandma is so gullible? Half a month ago, this lamp was still in the auction venue in the United States. When you divorced Archie, this lamp was not in the Grafton Family at all.” Madame Sandford directly used her strength to prove her lie.
Emma trembled slightly. It seemed that her grandmother really paid attention to this lamp. Even its origin was so clear.
“Tell me the truth. Are you still dating Archie?” The old lady asked directly.
Emma smiled helplessly. “Grandma, you don’t have to care about the matter between me and him, okay?”
“No, you are my granddaughter. Of course, I have to care about it. This Archie is too mean. He actually dares to pester you behind his grandfather’s back. I will go downstairs and kick him out.” The old lady’s temper had always been explosive. In addition to the anger she had suffered in front of Old Master Grafton, she was now certain that it was Archie who was pestering Emma and not letting go. That was why she was angry.
Emma was so scared that her face turned pale. She immediately pulled her grandmother’s arm. “Grandma, don’t go.”
“This brat has eaten the guts of a leopard. He dares to hook up with my granddaughter and still wants to be irresponsible.” The more Madame Sandford thought about it, the angrier she became.
“No, no, grandma. Actually, a slap can’t make a sound. Actually, I still love him.” Emma quickly explained.
Madame Sandford suddenly stopped and turned around to glare at her, “Emma, can you have some backbone? Look at that kid from the Wolfleim Family. He is also not bad.”
“Grandma, I admit that I have no backbone, but I love him. There’s nothing I can do about it.” Emma said bitterly.
Madame Sandford sighed heavily. “Then what do you think we should do now? It’s not like you didn’t notice the feelings your sister had for Archie. It’s not like you didn’t realize that your parents wanted them to be together.”
“Archie won’t agree!” Emma said very firmly.
“What crime did I commit in my previous life to make you suffer like this?” Madame Sandford instantly started to cry.
Emma saw that her heart was aching and quickly coaxed her in a low voice, “Grandmother, don’t cry anymore. Let nature take its course. If I really have no fate with Archie, I will leave.”
“I feel uncomfortable. It’s not whether you will leave him or not. It is that you clearly love him, but you cannot be with him.”
Emma also wanted to cry, but she was not willing to cry. She could only use a tissue to wipe her grandmother’s tears. “Grandma, let’s go down.”
Only then did the two of them come down from upstairs.
At this moment, Luisa, who had never touched a knife before, was cutting the pear with great difficulty. In order to make the pear look good, she was cutting very seriously.
At this moment, Archie’s phone rang.
Archie glanced at it indifferently and took it out to answer.
“How is it? Did you lock him up in jail? Okay, I’ll come and interrogate him after dinner. This time, I have to pry open his mouth.”
“Ah!” Luisa, who was peeling pears, was actually listening to Archie on the phone.
She thought it would be a work-related phone call, but when she heard what Archie said, her mind was in chaos. The knife in her hand slanted and pierced into her finger. It hurt so much that she cried out in pain.
Minlan and Dexon were talking about political matters with the three generations of Wolfleim Family.
When she suddenly heard her daughter’s painful cry, she quickly turned her head around.
“Luisa, why are you so careless? You can even cut a pear to make blood.” Minlan immediately went forward to take away the pear and fruit knife in her hand out of concern. She turned her head and shouted to the maid, “Quickly go and bring the medicine box over.”
Luisa’s face was somewhat pale. She did not care about the pain and turned her head to look at Archie.
Archie frowned and looked ashamed, “Auntie Minlan, I’m really sorry to let your beloved daughter get hurt.”
Minlan did not blame Archie. She was the one who had cut the pear.
“Young Master Archie, I’m sorry. I will ask the maid to cut off one for you later. Luisa has been spoiled by us. She has never done such meticulous things since she was young.”
“It’s fine. I’ll just drink tea!” Archie was not in the mood to eat pears. He just happened to see Emma want to peel pears and Madame Sandford could not eat it. That was why he deliberately said he wanted to eat pears.
Archie answering the phone was actually a strategy. He deliberately said it in a ruthless manner. He did not expect Luisa to be in a mess and cut his finger. It seemed that this matter had something to do with her.
The maid brought the medicine box over and Minlan urgently helped Luisa to stop the bleeding.
At this moment, Emma who was supporting her grandmother also walked down the stairs and saw the few drops of blood on the floor. Madame Sandford frowned, “What is going on? It was a good day, how could there be blood? How inauspicious.”
“Mom, I’m sorry. Luisa didn’t do it on purpose. Her fingers were also injured.” Minlan quickly apologized for her daughter.
Madame Sandford walked over and asked caringly, “Luisa, are you alright?”
“Grandma, I. . . I’m fine. I’ll go back to my room to wash first!” After Luisa finished speaking, she hurriedly ran upstairs.
Her heart was racing, and her fear was also spreading in her heart.
Did they catch him?
Could it be that Heizi, who had escaped abroad, had been caught and brought back?
How was this possible? Luisa thought anxiously as she took out her phone and dialed a number.
“Help me investigate immediately. Recently, there are some prisoners that are being escorted back to the country for interrogation. Be quick!” As the daughter of the vice president, Luisa had a lot of connections.
After a while, the other party called her back, “Today, there are indeed a few criminals being escorted back to the country for interrogation. I wonder which one you want to ask?”
“A punk called Heizi!”
The other party asked, “Heizi? I don’t have any information on this person, Miss Luisa. Are you mistaken?”
“No? Don’t you have the list of all the criminals you brought back? Help me take a closer look.”
“I really don’t have any, I’m sure!”
Luisa held the phone stiffly and her heart was in a panic. There was no record?
Didn’t they take the normal way to send him back to the country? It seemed that she had to find her father. She would rather be beaten to death by her father than be sent to jail.
Although Luisa thought this, she was still very afraid in her heart.
