The atmosphere in the guest room was silent. Emma was in Archie’s arms, feeling complicated.
Archie also did not want to force her to choose a side. He just gently accompanied her. However, when he saw the sadness between her eyebrows, he felt an unusual heartache for her.
She was once a carefree girl. Perhaps she had struggled for survival, but that kind of struggle only required a bit of effort to live, and she didn’t need to suffer any sadness or pain.
Now, he had dragged her into a complicated and dangerous world.
This world was cruel, reality, cold and heartless.
Her pure thoughts might not be able to blend into his world, but at this moment, she had no other choice. She could only sink into the darkness along with him.
“Emma. . . It’s time to go downstairs for dinner!” More than ten minutes had passed and Emma did not even change her posture as if she was stunned.
Archie’s words made her sad expression slightly restrain a little.
“Yes!” Emma nodded and sat up straight from his arms. She stood up and walked out.
Archie looked at her dazed look and sighed lightly. If possible, he really wanted to protect her innocence.
He didn’t want this colorful world to dye her purity black.
Emma walked down the stairs step by step.
“Emma!” Sitting on the sofa, Yenny, who was a little bored, stood up and greeted her with a smile.
Emma’s gaze landed on Yenny’s face. She really could not link this gentle smiling woman in front of her to that ruthless killer.
“Emma, what happened to you?” Yenny was also an experienced person. Emma’s dumbstruck look still attracted her attention and she asked out of concern.
Emma did not know what kind of mood she should have to face this woman.
This afternoon, she chatted with her so happily, without any pressure.
“I. . .”
“Yenny, I may not have properly introduced her to you. She is Dexon’s younger daughter.” The tall man who was walking down the stairs spoke faintly.
Yenny’s expression changed drastically when she heard Dexon’s name. She looked at Emma in disbelief and exclaimed, “Really? Emma, Dexon is your father?”
Emma nodded. “Yes, he is my father.”
“This. . . ” Yenny looked at Archie with a troubled expression.
Archie shook his head and quickened his pace. He and Emma stood on the same flight of stairs. His two big hands were on the railing, holding her in his embrace. He said to Yenny, “I have told her everything just now. She may not be in a good mood right now and cannot accept it for a moment.”
Yenny’s expression was also a little stiff. Then, she smiled awkwardly. “I understand, Emma. If you blame me for betraying your father, I will not have any objections. I only made my choice. If you want to blame me or hate me, I will accept it.”
Emma knew that Yenny was actually a very straightforward woman. From her actions one could tell.
Such a good-tempered woman was very likable and also very worthy of a deep friendship.
Emma also sighed with emotion today. Finally, there was a woman who was very compatible with her. She could continue to get along with her like a friend in the future.
But reality was so cruel. Before she could rejoice, she was ruthlessly slapped by reality.
Was it destined that she would not be able to make good friends? The words Tasya scolded her still rang in her ears.
She was a lonely person. Other people making friends with her would only pity her.
“Sister Yenny, I have no right to blame you. Maybe you made the right choice. I also do not wish for anyone to die.” After Emma calmed her emotions, she laughed mockingly and replied her.
Yenny looked at her expression. She nodded. “Emma, I know you are a very kind girl. It is a good thing that no one is hurt. To be honest, your father’s actions are unfair.”
“I know, my father was just too anxious to break in!” Emma finally had to admit that the mistakes her father made were very serious.
“Emma, we are really shaken. We might not be friends anymore.” Yenny smiled bitterly.
Emma was stunned and did not answer her.
At this moment, Archie was still standing behind her, looking like he was protecting her, but also seemed to be comforting her emotions.
“You two don’t need to be emotional. Emma, Yenny is definitely a friend worthy of your friendship. Of course, if you can’t make it through your heart, I won’t try to persuade you anymore.” Archie’s soft voice sounded beside her ear.
Emma suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed. She turned her head and the pink lip inadvertently brushed past the man’s sexy thin lips. She was completely stunned.
Yenny saw Archie teasing Emma like this. The combination of handsome men and beautiful women was really very pleasing to the eye and she could not help but feel a little envious.
At this time, Uncle Suan came in. He saw the two people standing at the staircase and looked like they were kissing. He coughed lightly and then reminded Yenny somewhat unhappily, “Young master and Miss Emma are lovey-dovey here. Can you avoid it?”
Yenny was stunned for a moment and then blushed a little. “I. . . I don’t mean to be a light bulb.”
Emma was also embarrassed at this moment and quickly pushed Archie away, “Can you not tease me?”
Archie’s smile was evil and charming. “I just want to help you relieve your nervousness.”
“I am not nervous anymore. Can you take a step back? I’m going down.” Emma became even more embarrassed.
Archie took a step back, and Emma quickly ran down the stairs from his arms.
“Slow down, don’t fall!” Archie saw her running away and his heart shrank. He immediately reminded her.
Emma did not care whether she fell or not now. She just wanted to keep a safe distance from him.
Yenny looked at the chase between the two young men and looked at Uncle Suan with a gentle gaze.
Uncle Suan was also looking at her in a daze at this moment. When he saw her look over, Uncle Suan was a little stunned. Then, he quickly put his face away.
Yenny was slightly disappointed. However, she quickly broke the silence. “Can we eat now? I didn’t eat at noon. I’m really hungry.”
“Young master, can we eat now?” Uncle Suan asked Archie politely.
Archie lazily walked down the stairs. He said lightly: “Yes! Bring it up.”
Because of the embarrassment just now, Emma ran out of the living room in one breath. She stood alone on the small path in the garden with her back against the lamp post. Her mood was in a mess again.
