The night was cool, but Emma did not feel sleepy at all. She leaned against Archie’s side, her beautiful eyes looking out the window at the scenery that was passing by.
In front of them was a primitive jungle, covering a four-lane road. This was specially built for Old Master Grafton’s health villa by Grafton Family.
At this moment, there was not a single car on the road. The surroundings were very quiet, and only the sound of birds chirping could be heard.
Emma had never been here before. The last time she came to X Country, she was like a thief, secretive and did not dare to do it openly.
Furthermore, when she came that day, she had never been to Old Master Grafton’s villa. Today was her first time here.
The car circled along the scenic mountain road. After another twenty minutes of driving, they finally saw a light in the distance.
At this moment, the sky was not bright yet. That light was particularly eye-catching in the dark forest.
Emma’s heart suddenly hung up. Although Old Master Grafton was old, he still had that kind of sense of intimidation.
Emma had been denied by him once. She was really afraid that this time when he came, he would also reject her.
Perhaps Archie was really tired. He put his face between her hair and closed his eyes to rest.
However, the large palm around her waist had always been impregnable and did not loosen at all.
“Archie, we are almost there. Are you asleep?” Emma felt uneasy in her heart, so she could only wake Archie up.
Only then did Archie sit up lazily. His sleepy eyes looked outside.
“Why don’t you sleep for a while?” Archie gently patted her face. “Are you nervous?”
“Yes!” Emma admitted honestly, “I am so nervous that I do not dare to sleep. I am very clear-headed now.”
“Silly!” Archie looked at her stunned look, and when he heard her words, he could not help but laugh.
Emma, however, pouted her small mouth. “I’m really nervous. How should I greet your grandfather later? Will he not even let me in?”
“Why are you thinking so much?” Archie stroked her long hair. “I brought you back. If you can’t go in, I won’t go in either.”
“Archie, don’t throw a tantrum because of me and your grandfather. I think if your grandfather still doesn’t accept me, let’s go.” Emma had already backed out.
She was also a person with pride and temper. If she was rejected once or twice, she really didn’t want to bump into a wall anymore.
It wasn’t because she didn’t love Archie, but because she felt that she couldn’t lose face like that.
“I know what I’m doing. This time, I will make grandpa accept you.” Archie’s eyes were serious. In fact, although he had been comforting her with his words, In fact, he also felt a little uneasy in his heart. His grandfather’s stubborn temper was also famous for being close and distant.
When Emma heard his words, her heart sank for no reason, all the way to the bottom.
“Young master, why did you suddenly come?” When the car stopped at the door, the butler ran out in his pajamas. When he saw Archie, his face was full of surprise.
“Butler Wan, please arrange a room for us to rest. Don’t disturb my grandfather’s rest.” Archie only ordered in a low voice.
“Okay!” The butler immediately went to arrange a guest room.
Archie held Emma’s hand and entered the guest room. He closed the door.
This was a very famous natural tourist spot. It had the beautiful name of the natural oxygen bar. The air that they breathed in here was cool and clean.
Emma pulled open the floor-to-ceiling window. Outside the window, there were layers of tree shadows under the heavy night sky. The mountain breeze was cool and brought with it a natural atmosphere. Emma could not help but take a deep breath when it blew over.
Archie took off his coat and hung it on the wall. He walked behind her and two large palms passed through her waist and hugged her in his arms.
“Go to sleep, don’t think so much!”
“En!” Emma nodded and turned around to lie on the bed with him.
Lying on his arm and smelling the familiar scent of hormones on his body, sleepiness hit him and he unknowingly fell asleep.
By the time she woke up, the sky outside the window was already bright.
Archie, who was beside her, had long disappeared without a trace.
“Archie. . . ” Emma suddenly became like a puppy abandoned by its master, panicked and helpless.
She flipped herself off the bed and looked around the room, but she did not see his shadow, which made her panic even more.
“Archie, where are you?” She could only quickly wash up and put on a set of clothes. She pushed the door open.
Standing in the corridor, she saw Archie and Old Master Grafton sitting by the artificial lake.
The two of them sat on the chairs by the lake. There were breakfast and tea set, as if they were chatting.
Archie happened to be facing them. When he saw Emma suddenly run out of the room, his eyes darkened.
After that, he stood up and walked towards Emma.
When Emma saw him walk over, her nervous mood instantly seemed to have someone to rely on.
Old Master Grafton also looked in this direction. He glanced at her, but quickly turned around and continued to drink his morning tea.
Archie stood in the garden and looked up. He said to Emma, “Come down!”
Emma could only go around the stairs and run to the front of him. With a bitter face, she whispered, “Archie, did you tell your grandfather about us?”
“No need to say that. He also knows. Let’s go and greet my grandfather first.” Archie had a smile on his face.
Emma’s careful look was very interesting and cute. She was like a frightened child, so cute that people wanted to tease her.
Emma’s small face stepped down. “Will your grandfather be unhappy that I came over? I really don’t want to make him angry.”
“Even if he doesn’t want to see you, aren’t you already here? Relax, you just need to calm down when it comes to a stubborn old man like my grandfather.” Archie had to admit that his grandfather was really stubborn.
When he heard him describe his grandfather in such a way, Emma could not help but smile, instantly dispelling some of the tension.
Emma came to Old Master Grafton’s side and immediately politely opened her mouth to speak. “Grandpa, hello!”
Old Master Grafton pretended not to hear her. Emma’s small face immediately became uneasy.
“Grandpa, has your condition worsened recently? Emma asked. Are your ears not working well?” Archie, who was standing next to him, immediately said with a smile.
Old Master Grafton glared at him. “Brat, you have a problem with your ears.”
Emma was so scared that her face turned pale. She immediately reached out to pull Archie’s sleeve, as if to remind him not to say such words that would make the old man angry.
“Grandfather, I am worried about you!” Archie smiled evilly.
Old Master Grafton really couldn’t do anything to his only grandson. He wanted to pretend to be deaf and mute, but he was exposed on the spot.
“Miss Emma, you really are a person with perseverance. It has been so long, but you still haven’t given up on him.” Old Master Grafton began to ridicule Emma.
Emma immediately froze into a statue. Of course she could hear Old Master Grafton’s sarcasm.
