The lights in the garden was dim. Emma’s figure leaning against the pillar looked a little sad.
She did not understand why her world would be overshadowed by such a thing.
She felt layers of dark clouds pressing down on her head. She could not see the sunlight anymore.
She suddenly missed the pure and carefree days of the past. Although the Quinsley Family didn’t treat her well, she felt free to walk on the streets by herself. She wouldn’t feel as painful as she felt right now.
Unfortunately, she wouldn’t be able to go back.
Archie stood on a white jade pillar not far behind her. His tall body leaned against the pillar, leisurely and lazy.
The cigarette between his fingers was lit with a puff.
He took a deep breath of the cigarette and spat it out. The green and white smoke became dizzy in his eyes. He narrowed the corners of his eyes, making that pair of deep and sunken eyes even more unfathomable and mysterious.
He looked at that petite and pitiful figure. At this moment, in his eyes, in his heart, in his world, there was only her shadow.
This was the depth of love to the bone. Even her sadness, he wanted to accompany her to bear it.
Emma slightly tilted her head. Although she did not look behind her, she knew that Archie was standing there.
The faint smell of cigarettes drifted in the wind. Emma sighed slightly.
Her mood was too messy. It was so messy that even she could not figure out what was going on.
She also could not ask Archie for help. This kind of emotion needed to be properly digested by herself.
“How long do you plan to stand here?”
A few minutes later, a man asked in a low voice from behind.
“Go and eat. Don’t worry about me. I just want to be alone for a while.” Emma’s voice was also soft.
There was no more male voice coming from behind. Emma tensed her heart and felt a sense of loss for some reason.
When did Archie become so obedient?
She told him not to worry about her, and he really did not care?
Women were really contradictory creatures.
Words were not the longest thing they were good at, but often, they would deceive themselves and push themselves to an even more melancholic state.
Emma was a little stifled as she straightened her small body even more.
Actually, at this moment, it was winter weather, and the word cold was only one word.
When Emma went downstairs just now, she only wore a light blue waist-length sweater. At this moment, she felt that she was trembling a little.
But just now, she had clearly said that she wanted to stay alone for a while. If she went in now, wouldn’t she be made fun of by Archie?
Emma maintained a little bit of her self-esteem and continued to freeze.
Just when she felt that she was about to go numb from the cold, a warm coat wrapped around her entire body.
Emma looked back in surprise and met the man’s gentle and caring gaze.
“Your body is weak to begin with and you still dare to be frozen here.” His words of reproach still fell.
Emma only felt her nose turn sour and did not want to say anything and directly threw herself into the man’s wide embrace.
She tightly passed through his suit jacket and hugged his strong waist. She kept rubbing her face into his embrace.
It was as if this was the only way to vent the sadness in his heart.
Archie knew that she must be in a very bad mood right now. He reached out his hand and held her head, pressing her head closer to his chest.
Emma held her breath and tightly pressed against his chest, until. . . She was suffocating.
Only then did she gently push him. “Let’s go in and eat dinner.”
Archie reached out and gently put his arm around her waist. “When I’m done with my work this time, I’ll take you out to relax. Where do you want to go to play?”
“I don’t want to go anywhere!” Emma answered in a low voice.
A place with him was the place she was most willing to stay. Even most of the time, she felt lonely.
“You can think about it slowly. When you’ve thought about it, remember to tell me. No matter where you go, I’ll stay with you.” Archie said unhurriedly with a smile.
“Alright, then I will think about it.” Emma also raised the corner of her mouth.
When she and Archie walked into the kitchen, they did not see Uncle Suan and Yenny.
Emma could not help but wait and asked in surprise, “Where are Uncle Suan and Sister Yenny?”
“They are eating elsewhere.” Archie answered in a low voice.
“Why don’t they eat with us?” Emma suddenly felt like she had done something very bad.
She should not blame the responsibility on Sister Yenny. Sister Yenny stopped the development of the situation and she did not do anything wrong.
“Maybe it was because she wanted to take care of your feelings.” Archie casually replied.
Emma’s whole body froze.
“Archie, I’ve thought it through. I think Sister Yenny did not do anything wrong. I was too emotional. I’ll go and find her to explain! Where is she?” Emma decided to abandon those annoying thoughts and wanted to make a big deal out of Yenny.
Archie grabbed her wrist instead. “You don’t have to be a light bulb. I don’t think you’re going over now for her own good.”
Emma fell into Archie’s arms when Archie pulled her. She looked embarrassed. “I didn’t want to disturb them. I just wanted to explain something to Sister Yenny.”
“You can say it tomorrow. Now, eat with me! I’m hungry!” Archie said lightly.
Emma quickly stood up from his arms and sat down beside him.
She took a bowl and gave Archie a bowl of soup. “Then you should eat quickly.”
“Is your uncle really alright? I just saw the news and saw that he was being interviewed in the ward. His mental state seems to be quite good.” Emma also asked him while eating.
“Yes, my uncle only suffered some superficial injuries at the location of his heart. But it doesn’t matter. Thanks for Yenny, for showing mercy.” When Archie mentioned this, he was still full of gratitude.
“Yes, my father indeed lost the attitude of a competitor. He should take responsibility.” Emma secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She did not dare to imagine that if Benny died at this moment, would she and Archie still have the chance to calmly sit here and eat dinner?
Speaking of the bottom line, Yenny had helped them. She would find a chance to thank her tomorrow.
“I don’t plan to blow up your father’s recording.” Archie suddenly said.
Emma looked at him in surprise. “Why? My father did not agree to your request.”
“Just take this as a weakness in my hands. Of course, the most important thing is that if I want to marry his daughter, I should give him some face.” Archie looked at her with a burning gaze in his eyes.
Emma’s expression froze, and her small face immediately turned red again.
In that case, whether she begged Archie or not, Archie already had a plan.
Then those melancholy feelings that she had experienced today had been born in vain.
