After work in the afternoon, Archie returned to the company. Even though he was busy, it did not affect his calm and handsome appearance at all.
The well-trimmed suit did not have a single wrinkle on it, making him look like an emperor, noble and unreachable.
“How much have you finished looking through the documents I gave you?” The moment Archie stepped into the office, he walked towards her with heavy steps. His voice was gentle.
Emma laughed dryly. “There is only one book left!”
“Oh, the efficiency is not bad!” Archie raised his eyebrows slightly, and even the bottom of his eyes revealed a smile.
The sun outside the window shone through the floor-to-ceiling window. Those golden fragments of light also seemed to be sucked into the bottom of his eyes. The luster rippled.
Emma’s mouth also subconsciously raised. “Otherwise, how many things do you think I should see now?”
Archie saw her looking back at him provocatively. He stretched out his finger and it was as smooth as her finger. “I only hope that you can read it seriously. There is no time limit for you.”
Emma knew that no matter what this man did, he would always respect her. Her heart felt warm.
An indescribable sense of security.
“Archie, my grandma called me at noon and asked me to go back to Sandford Family for dinner. I agreed! You. . . Do you want to come with me?” Emma asked him in a low voice.
Actually, she hoped that Archie would not go.
After all, not long ago, he had a life-and-death battle with his father.
Archie was slightly stunned. Then, he said faintly. “I won’t be going. I’ll pay a visit after we get married.”
Emma secretly heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright then. I have to return to Sandford Family. My grandmother might want to see me.”
“En. It was not easy for the Sandford Family to find you. Naturally, I hope you can go back and take a look often.” Archie understood this feeling very well.
“Give me a car key. I will go by myself.” Emma asked in a low voice again.
“Wait for me for a while. I will send you to the entrance of the Sandford Family.” Archie did not want her to go out alone.
Although the wind and waves had calmed down, he still needed to be careful of the criminals. He could not let his guard down.
Emma could only wait for Archie to send her off.
When they reached the entrance of the Sandford Family, Emma got off the car and said goodbye to Archie. She then carried the fruit basket that she had bought and headed home.
In the living room, she saw the dark and gloomy face of Dexon. Her heart could not help but raise a little.
Although she didn’t want to face Dexon face to face, she still couldn’t avoid him.
“Dad. . .” she called out softly when she walked in.
Dexon saw her from afar and his mood suddenly became bad.
“Why do you still have the face to return to this house? Didn’t you betray me?” Dexon’s tone was obviously filled with reproach and dissatisfaction towards her.
Emma froze on the spot.
Minlan came down from the stairs and saw Emma. Her mood was also complicated for a moment.
“Emma, you are here. Quickly come and sit on the sofa!” As a mother, Minlan naturally did not have Dexon’s ruthless heart. It was even more so for this little daughter who owed him.
“Mom, where’s grandma?” After Emma handed the fruit basket to a servant at the side, she asked.
“Your grandma is upstairs. She has caught a cold recently. You can go up and take a look at her.” Minlan said softly.
Emma acknowledged and turned around to run upstairs.
When she thought that her grandmother was actually sick, her heart felt like it was being roasted on a fire, anxious and uneasy.
When she came to her grandmother’s bedroom door, Emma smelled a very heavy medicinal smell.
She knitted her brows and pushed open the door. She saw her grandmother lying on the bed and did not know if she was asleep or not.
She lowered her footsteps and gently walked to her side to sit down.
The room was a little dark. There were no lights on, only the light from outside the window could be seen.
In this thick shadow, Madame Sandford seemed to have aged a few more years. The wrinkles on her face became deeper and her face also turned pale.
“Grandma!” She looked at her heartache and softly called out.
The old woman, who was sleeping with her eyes closed, seemed to have sensed something and slowly opened her eyes. When she saw that beautiful little face, she could not help but laugh.
“Emma, you are here!” Madame Sandford immediately forced herself to sit up, “Grandma is a little tired and was originally waiting for you to come. She accidentally fell asleep.”
“Grandma, your complexion is not very good. Have you been sick recently?” Emma softly asked in concern.
“I’m fine. I just caught a cold. I’ll be fine after taking some medicine.” Madame Sandford forced a smile to comfort her.
Emma only felt slightly relieved when she heard that she was fine.
Madame Sandford looked at her relaxed brows but her heart was incomparably heavy. Perhaps everyone had a premonition about the end of their lives. Madame Sandford always felt that she did not have a few days left to live.
“Emma, grandma wants to see your sister tomorrow. Can you accompany grandma?” The old lady asked in a sad voice.
Emma was stunned. Go and see Luisa?
“As long as grandma wants to go, I will go with you!” Emma could not care that much anymore. She felt that she had to spend more time with grandma.
“Okay, then tomorrow morning, we will go and see her!” The smile on Madame Sandford’s face deepened.
Emma sighed in her heart. It had been some time since Luisa was caught. She did not know that she was this arrogant and domineering young lady. How was life in the prison? Was she still able to walk with her tail between her legs?
The dinner was very quiet and Dexon was obviously unhappy. But because of Madame Sandford, he did not say anything to Emma.
After dinner, Emma called Archie. James drove over to pick her up.
When they returned to the Manor House of Grafton Family, Archie folded his long legs and sat in the living room, as if he was waiting for her.
When she saw the tall and noble figure, Emma’s heart was filled with an indescribable sense of security.
Archie shifted his gaze away from his mind and raised his head to look at the car that had just stopped outside the door.
Emma pushed the door open and walked straight to his side to sit down.
“Dexon did not make things difficult for you, right?” This was something that Archie had been worried about all along.
Emma shook her head. “No, my grandmother is there. He wouldn’t dare to say anything to me.”
“I think he must have some resentment towards you.” Archie sneered.
Emma nodded in agreement. “Although he did not scold me, I can feel that he is very disappointed in me.”
“Then do you regret it?” Archie’s eyes were fixed on her face as he asked in a low voice.
Emma’s lips curled up and she shook her head. “I will not regret it.”
“Yes, let’s go. Let’s go upstairs!” Archie patted her little head.
“Won’t you sit a little longer?” Emma asked in a low voice.
“We still have something to do!” Archie’s tone suddenly became hoarse.
“What serious business?” Emma did not react for a moment.
“Give birth!” Archie threw the two words at her.
