Book:Dearest Wife Published:2024-5-1

After the gunfight, the villa and manor of Grafton Family became even more heavily guarded.
After Benny found out about this matter, he even sent over a hundred special forces to protect Grafton Family’s safety.
Emma took a bath upstairs to calm herself down, but when she thought about the near-death situation just now, she still felt a little panicked.
She put on a warm coat and went downstairs. When she walked to the staircase, she heard an unfamiliar and elegant female voice talking.
“Cousin, my dad sent me to talk to you about the gunfight just now. It’s so late, so it’s not convenient for him to come.”
Emma heard the soft female voice and seemed to be very close to Archie. When she heard her call Archie cousin, she became even more curious.
She guessed that this girl should be Benny’s daughter. Thus, she took two quick steps towards the stairs.
She saw a girl wearing a white coat sitting politely on the sofa. She had short shoulder-length hair and looked very pretty and beautiful.
Archie was about to reply to her when he suddenly saw a petite figure at the staircase. He immediately stood up and walked straight towards Emma.
The girl sitting on the sofa also turned her head around. Her pair of bright eyes sized Emma up and down.
After that, she stood up and said with a generous smile on her face. “You must be Miss Emma. Nice to meet you!”
Emma saw that she was so polite and took the initiative to greet and also quickly smiled. “I just, I didn’t know you were. . . ”
“This is my uncle’s daughter, her name is Yunita.” Archie introduced her in a low voice.
Emma immediately smiled and nodded. “Hello, nice to meet you.”
Yunita’s beautiful eyes turned slightly, as if she deliberately corrected him. “Benny is actually my adoptive father. I was adopted by him when I was two years old.”
Emma was stunned and then said, “So that’s how it is.”
Archie reached out his hand to hold Emma’s slender waist and brought her to the sofa.
Yunita’s eyes inadvertently looked at the overbearing big hand that was hugging Emma’s waist and a trace of disappointment flashed across her face.
“Yuni, sit down. Does my uncle have anything to say to you?” Archie seemed to have a layer of warmth towards her family.
Yunita sat down. Her snow white slender legs were very ladylike. It could be seen that she had developed etiquette since she was young.
“Yes, my father asked me to remind you that Dexon is like a mad dog right now, he likes to bite people. . . ”
“Wait a minute!” Archie interrupted Yunita and frowned. “My uncle really likened Dexon to a mad dog?”
Yunita was stunned.
Emma, who was sitting next to Archie, had a change of color on her small face. Her small hands subconsciously grabbed her coat.
Yunita had an innocent expression and forcefully blinked, “Cousin, did I say something wrong? Actually, what my father meant was that Dexon had a little bit of desperation right now. He might do anything to hurt us.”
Archie’s handsome face was somewhat solemn as he pointed out. “Yuni, I may not have introduced Dexon to you. Dexon is Emma’s father. Please don’t say it so badly in terms of address.”
Yunita only had a look of sudden enlightenment then quickly apologized to Emma, “Miss Emma, I am really sorry. I. . . I actually did not know that Dexon was your father. You wouldn’t blame me, right? I also didn’t mean to say it.”
What could Emma blame her for? People had already said that words were not meant to be said. If she was still angry because of this, it could only prove that she did not have enough grace.
However, listening to others call her father a mad dog in front of her, even if she had a problem with Dexon, he was still her father after all. Therefore, she felt really uncomfortable.
“It’s fine. It’s not too late for you to know now.” Emma’s beautiful eyes looked towards Yunita and also had a smile, but that smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
Yunita found that Emma was still angry because she said the wrong thing but she actually did not really want to apologize.
Dexon had always been a formidable opponent of the Henfox Family. It would not be an exaggeration to scold him.
Emma’s beautiful eyes flickered twice, and finally, she retracted her gaze.
She did not know if it was her misconception, but she felt that this Yunita was smiling on the surface, but it gave people a very sinister feeling.
Furthermore, a woman’s intuition was always very accurate. She felt that when Yunita looked at Archie, her smile contained admiration and a trace of ambiguous emotion.
Of course, perhaps it was because she thought too much.
Too sensitive. She thought that everyone would fall in love with Archie, but this was the nature of women because they were afraid that their men would be targeted by other women.
Archie’s current thoughts were in the gunfight just now. Naturally, he did not notice that the two women had already fought in the dark.
“Do you think that Dexon found someone to do this?” When Archie said this, he looked down at Emma who was in his arms.
Emma could not help but tremble when she heard this.
If her father found someone to kill Archie, then what should she do?
Should she run over and accuse her father of being too ruthless?
Yunita’s expression became serious and her tone was certain, “Other than Dexon, I’m afraid no one else would dare to hire foreign mercenaries to kill you so brazenly.”
“I heard that mercenaries are very expensive. Dexon probably doesn’t have that much money. Go and trade with foreign terrorists.” Archie had actually thought of another person. His face turned cold and his tone was cold.
Yunita nodded. “If it wasn’t Dexon, then it must be the people of Wolfleim Family. They have formed an alliance.”
Every word Emma heard made her restless and anxious.
Why did it become like this? Why did such a terrifying thing happen?
The large palm around her waist tightened its grip slightly, and her entire body was leaning into Archie’s embrace.
Yunita even saw this small action in her eyes and her expression instantly froze.
“Archie, I want to ask Uncle Suan to make me something to eat. I’m a little hungry.” Emma simply refused to listen. In any case, listening would only make her anxious and uneasy.
“Go. Tell Uncle Suan what you want to eat.” After experiencing that dangerous thing just now, Emma did not even eat dinner.
It was normal for her to be hungry now.
“En!” Emma lowered her head and went to the restaurant to find Uncle Suan to make food.
Yunita’s sharp eyes swept over Emma and she found that Emma was not as bright and eye-catching as she had imagined. At least. . . She was not that kind of beautiful woman that men could not move their eyes away from.
But she knew that Archie was reluctant to part with her. He kept pestering her for a long time.
Even though the two of them were divorced, they still lived together. Yunita sneered in her heart.
Was it because this woman was very experienced in some aspects? Could that be the reason why Archie’s heart was tied?
Yunita suddenly looked down on Emma. She felt that she was not worthy of Archie at all. Furthermore, she was Dexon’s daughter, the daughter of the enemy.
“Cousin, allow me to say something that I shouldn’t have said. Since Miss Emma is Dexon’s daughter, why don’t you let her hear our conversation? Aren’t you afraid that she will leak our conversation?” Yunita had the aura of a strong woman, so she dared to speak and do what she said.
Archie’s expression was slightly unhappy, and he directly retorted. “Emma will definitely not be a person who talks too much. Regarding anything related to me, I am willing to share it with her. Regarding this, please rest assured.”
Yunita did not expect that her kind advice would cause Archie to be unhappy. She quickly explained, “Cousin, I am actually just a little worried. Since you have already said that she is fine, then of course I am also relieved.”
“I will investigate this matter clearly. When there is a result, I will tell uncle.”
“Okay. Father is really worried about you. Cousin, you must take care of yourself. If you are injured, I will feel very sorry for you.” Yunita said with a warm expression.
Archie nodded. “Don’t worry. From now on, I will be more careful.”
“En, it’s getting late. I’ll go back first. What’s the matter? I’ll come over and tell you. It’s not convenient for Dad to walk around now. Maybe I’ll come to see Cousin often in the future. I hope Cousin won’t find me annoying.” Yunita said in a somewhat coquettish manner.
“No, I won’t. You are our future female politician. Now that you have started to interact with politics, it is a good training for you. I believe there will be a good space for communication between us.” Archie’s thin lips slightly raised as he replied in a light tone.
“Yes, with cousin’s encouragement, I have more confidence to face the future situation. Then I will take my leave first!”
Yunita stood up and walked out of the hall of Grafton Family. She took a car and left.
Archie clenched his fists tightly, and slowly loosened them.
His eyes became cold as he gritted his teeth and said: “Yoseph, you can’t tolerate me anymore?”
Archie snorted coldly. He stood up and walked towards the dining hall.
Emma stood alone in the dining room, as if she had a lot on her mind.
“Why are you standing there? Sit down and wait!” Archie walked to her side and held her small hand. He gently took her to a chair next to him and sat her down.
“Archie, do you think my father will kill you?” Emma’s mind was in a mess. She really hoped that it was not him.
Archie’s eyes locked onto her sad little face and said in a deep voice, “Archie, do you think it will be my father who wants to kill you? Even if it wasn’t him, it still had something to do with him.”
“Why did it have to be like this? Can’t we just negotiate peacefully? If we fight and kill like this, how can we still have peace and stability in the world? They work hard to become the President because they want to bring peace to the people, right? But now that things have turned out like this, it’s too hard to bear.” Emma really could not accept such a broken world.
“Emma, don’t be so naive. Not everyone has a kind heart like yours. What they seek is supreme power. And bringing peace to the people is just their slogan. Human nature is always greedy.” Archie held her soft little face and stared at her clear sparkling eyes. One sentence at a time, he poured the cruelty of reality into her little head.
