Emma was a little confused. Archie’s words had shattered her many years of understanding.
Was she really too naive? Or was it because reality was cruel and heartless to begin with? Was it because she stubbornly believed that the world was beautiful, that people should be optimistic, and that they should look forward to it?
In the past, when she was in the Quinsley Family, she was like a turtle hiding in its shell. Whenever she encountered trouble, she would hide. She would not fight openly with those people because she thought that she had avoided them. Then everything would be fine.
But today, too many things had happened. She didn’t even have the chance to dodge. She could only face them head-on.
“Archie, can you promise me that if one day my father really does something unforgivable, please spare his life no matter what. Don’t kill him.” Emma closed her eyes in pain. Tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes.
She looked like she was about to cry, like a fragile doll. Her mind was about to collapse.
Archie’s thin lips gently landed on her forehead. He kissed her for a long time. When her thin lips left, she heard his voice, “Alright, I promise you, I won’t kill your father.”
“Thank you, Archie. I know that my request is too unfair to you, because he was the one who killed you first. Do you hate me?” Emma opened her eyes. Her tears were misty, making one’s heart ache just by looking at them.
Archie knew the contradictions in her heart. One was the man she loved, and the other was the father she had just acknowledged. No matter which side was injured, it would be a fatal blow to her.
Under Emma’s seemingly strong appearance, there was actually a soft heart. It was not just her. If it was anyone else who chose their position, they would be in a dilemma.
“Silly, why would I blame you?” Archie laughed lightly, then blamed himself, “It’s all my fault. It was because of me that you were in such a difficult position. If you choose Yoseph. . . At this moment. . . You wouldn’t have cared so much.”
Emma slightly froze. Her pretty eyes were somewhat eager to look at his handsome face. “Archie, I have never thought of choosing Yoseph. Even if he is really my fiancé, I will not choose to be with him. You must believe me.”
“Don’t worry, I have never doubted you. Of course I believe you, but. . . Today’s situation was caused by me. . . If I hadn’t snatched you over at the wedding, you wouldn’t have met me. . . And so many things wouldn’t have happened.” Archie felt extremely ashamed and regretful. He felt that he had pushed her into a storm. If anything were to happen to her, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this. I only know that I love you and you love me. That’s enough!” Emma did not like to see his sad look, which made her heart ache even more.
“Say it again!” Archie’s forehead was pressed against her forehead. His voice was low, hoarse, and domineering.
“What did you say?” Emma blinked her eyes in surprise.
“You just said you love me. Did I hear you wrong?” Archie couldn’t help but laugh, as if he had caught something on her.
Emma was stunned, and her face instantly became fiery. She bit her lower lip. “Did I say it? Then you might have misheard me.”
“Little scoundrel, you still dare to be stubborn. Is it that difficult to admit that you love me?” Archie only felt that Emma was like a little fox. She was very clever and could make his heart itch.
Emma said with a troubled expression, “Alright, I admit that I love you. I love you very much. Are you satisfied?”
“You have to say this more in the future. This way, my mood will be very good.” Archie dotingly nodded her little nose. “Remember!”
Emma hurriedly dodged his fingers and touched her nose. She was a little angry. “Why do you want me to say it alone? You are not even willing to tell me.”
“I have said it. If you want to hear it, after dinner, I will tell you in bed a hundred times!” Archie whispered into her ear.
“You are not serious!” Emma felt goosebumps all over her body. She quickly pushed him away.
At the same time, Uncle Suan led the maid to bring Emma dinner.
Emma quickly ran away from Archie and sat at the table to have dinner.
Archie looked at her lazily. “I’m going upstairs to take a shower. You should eat more. Only when you are full will you have strength!”
Emma immediately misunderstood his words. This man. . . Can’t he calm down a little?
Uncle Suan and the maids and aunties were still standing there.
Therefore, Emma pretended not to hear and quietly ate her dinner.
The incident of the Grafton Family being shot was temporarily suppressed by Archie. This was also a political strategy, the people in Benny’s party. There were not many people who were afraid of death. If they heard that someone had hired foreign mercenaries to enter the border and had a gun kill, It would make many people tremble in fear. At that time. . . The situation would definitely go out of control, which would be very unfavorable to Benny’s side.
However, Archie didn’t want to suffer such a loss.
Therefore, he had to fight back.
The target of his counterattack was Yoseph.
Although he didn’t find any evidence to prove that this matter was instigated by Yoseph.
But he had to give him a warning. If he dared to shoot at his home so brazenly again, he would not hesitate to let the bullet penetrate his body.
Standing under the shower, water rushed down from the top of his head. Archie raised his head. The water outlined his handsome face and sexy body. His aggressive and explosive body was as graceful and slender as a cheetah.
He shook the water droplets on his face and suddenly remembered Yunita’s reminder.
Would Emma tell Dexon about their conversation?
Archie’s heart skipped a beat for no reason. He put his finger on his short hair and used his strength to push it a few times.
Actually, he believed that woman would never betray him.
In the past, he believed her, and now he believed her.
However, Yunita’s words made him very uncomfortable.
He would never allow anyone or anything, even if it was just a sentence without meaning to it, to sow discord between him and Emma.
Therefore, if anyone dared to question his woman in the future, he would definitely stab them back mercilessly.
Not to mention doubt, even if it was this nature, he would not be able to accept it.
He also would not accept it. He would not personally push away the woman he loved and finally push her into Yoseph’s arms.
Archie reached out his hand and twisted it. He closed the water, pulled out a towel, and wrapped it around his waist.
Pushing open the bathroom door, Archie ignored the dripping water from his head and face. He directly poured out a cigarette and lowered his head to light it.
He needed the cigarette to numb his nerves. He also needed to use the smell of Nicholas to make his brain clearer.
Emma finished her food and went upstairs. She saw Archie sitting on the sofa in the bedroom. The window behind him was wide open and cold wind blew in. He was only wearing a towel.
“Archie, it’s so cold. Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?” Emma was anxious. She walked over a few steps and closed the window.
Archie looked at her from the side. Her small face, which was full of concern, There was a trace of complaint.
“I’ll go to the study to smoke!” Archie opened the window because he didn’t want the smoke to remain in the bedroom.
She came in and Archie put out the cigarette butt. He stood up and was about to go to the study.
“Stop smoking!” Emma hugged him. “Smoking is not good for the body.”
Archie lowered his head and looked at the two soft hands on his abdomen. His body was slightly tense. “I am not in a good mood!”
“I know. What do I have to do to make you feel better? I want to help you!” Emma said gently.
Borrowing cigarettes to drink to relieve his worries was really not a good idea.
Archie’s large palm gently pressed her two small hands down. In the next moment, his towel fell down.
Emma’s beautiful eyes suddenly widened. Before she could react, her petite body was directly lifted horizontally by the man.
“Are you really willing to help me?” The bottom of Archie’s dark and deep eyes was unable to emit any light.
Emma seemed to know what kind of help he wanted. Her face was red, but she did not shrink and looked into his dark eyes. “En!”
Archie’s thin lips immediately covered!
Emma took the initiative to wrap her arms around his firm neck and gave herself warmly.
Finally, Emma discovered that although Archie said that he was in a bad mood, it did not affect his physical strength at all.
When her waist was limp and weak as she laid on the bed, she could not help but want to regret it.
“Are you tired? Did I hurt you?” Archie did not know why he had gone mad just now. When he thought about how she might be suppressed by Yoseph like this, he wished he could crush her and merge her into his body.
Emma was so tired that she did not even want to move. As for whether it hurt or not, she had long become numb to it, alright?
“No, let me sleep for a while!” Emma’s soft and tender voice came in a low voice.
Archie’s thin lips kissed her white shoulder, which had some red marks. “Go to sleep!”
Emma was really tired. So, she fell asleep.
She didn’t even have time to have a nightmare.
Archie was also tired. His physical strength was almost exhausted. He felt that he was really crazy sometimes.
He held her soft little body into his arms and hugged her to warm up and sleep.
The next morning, Emma opened her eyes in a trance. The window was already bright.
She rubbed her sore waist and got up.
It started to snow outside the window again. The silent snow fell in the garden behind, and there was an indescribable desolate beauty.
The cold outside the window, through the glass window, could not penetrate the warmth of the bedroom.
Emma tightened her white sleeping gown.
This winter seemed to be even colder than usual.
The phone on the bed suddenly rang and Emma’s nerves tensed up.
She turned her head and saw that it was grandma.
After thinking for two seconds, she finally answered.
Grandma’s concerned voice came over, “Emma, where are you?”
“Grandma, I’m home!” Emma replied softly.
“Are you alright, child?” Grandma still asked her with concern.
“I’m fine!” Emma shook her head.
“Your sister did something stupid. Don’t hate her. She has also been punished.”
Emma was slightly stunned. Then, she replied, “As long as she is responsible for her crimes, I can’t blame her.”
