Chapter 385

Book:Dearest Wife Published:2024-5-29

Emma was startled by Jimmy’s angry mood and was stunned.
Jimmy’s eyes were filled with anger. He kept cursing until he saw Emma’s confused look.
“Emma, you lost your memory? Why do you still remember me?” There was a trace of anticipation in Jimmy’s eyes.
“I. . . I don’t know either, but I remember you. I remember the Quinsley Family.” Emma shook her head and answered blankly.
“Great. You have forgotten about that bastard Archie, but you still remember me. Emma, you are back? That’s great!” Jimmy pulled Emma into his arms and hugged her tightly. It was as if he had picked up the most important treasure.
Emma froze in his arms. After a while, she struggled to break free and pushed Jimmy away. “Jimmy, when did you come back to the country? Are you going to work now?”
“I have been back for more than a year. Emma, you know, ever since you married Archie, I have been empty.” Jimmy told her about the pain of longing. His tone was full of sadness.
Emma looked up and could not bear to see the sadness in his eyes. She bit her lower lip and thought for a while and said, “Jimmy, you are to me. . . . Isn’t it the relationship between friends?”
In the past, the two of them were young and had more profound words. They were shy to speak.
At this moment, Jimmy had matured. He was no longer the shy young man from back then. He did not want to hide the feelings in his heart anymore.
“Of course. Don’t tell me you only realized it now? Emma, you are really too naive. No male would do it for no reason. For you, unless he has a good impression of you and wants to pursue you.” Jimmy bitterly mocked himself and finally confessed what he had in his heart.
Emma was a little stunned and looked at Jimmy in disbelief.
Jimmy knew that she was surprised and smiled faintly. “I know that you have always treated me as a friend, but you have never treated me as your boyfriend. This has always made me very sad. What I want to do is not only your friend, but also your future.”
“Jimmy, stop it. Although I have forgotten about the past, I have already married Archie. How am I worthy of you?” Emma’s heart was in chaos. How could she accept such a sudden confession from a childhood friend?
Jimmy’s eyes were dim as he laughed self-deprecatingly. “You also rejected me like this in the past. Now, even if you lost your memory, you still refused me. Emma, in your heart, am I that bad?”
“Jimmy, I definitely do not mean to belittle you. . .” Emma was anxious to explain.
“Emma, can’t you give me another chance? We still have a tacit understanding and fate. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have grown up together.” Deep pain and disappointment filled Jimmy’s face.
Emma was shocked. She was most afraid of dealing with this kind of relationship.
She did not know how to answer for a moment.
At this moment, in the distance, a motorcade was speeding towards them.
In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at their side. There were six black cars. They looked imposing and domineering.
The door in the middle of the car was pushed open by a big hand, and a tall figure stepped out.
It was Archie!
Emma was surprised. Why would he come here?
Jimmy’s expression instantly turned pale.
For some reason, he was afraid of this man. Not because of his power. It was because he was the person Emma loved.
Archie’s handsome face was gloomy as he walked to their side with heavy steps.
“What are you talking about?” Archie asked in a calm voice.
Emma was surprised to see him, and her feelings became even more complicated.
In the hospital yesterday, what her mother said was stuck in her throat like a fishbone. It was extremely uncomfortable.
However, his appearance also made her heart beat faster. For some reason, her heart trembled. This was clearly the rhythm of love.
Jimmy’s face stiffened and he said with a smile, “Archie, you were the one who caused Emma to get injured in a car accident? Why do you still have the face to look for her?”
Archie knew that Jimmy was full of resentment towards him. Indeed, love rivals could never coexist peacefully.
“Jimmy, don’t think that just because you and Emma are childhood sweethearts, you can easily poach her. Besides, do you dare to poach me?” Archie’s voice was still indifferent, but it was full of warning.
Jimmy’s face turned even darker after being humiliated.
Emma suddenly stared at Archie angrily and stopped him from mocking her friend. “Archie, I don’t allow you to say that about Jimmy. He is my friend.”
Archie’s expression froze.
Jimmy knew that no matter what, he could not compare to Archie. He knew his own limitations a long time ago.
However, at this moment, Emma’s protection was absolutely touching to him.
“Emma. . . ”
“I don’t care if we have been entangled with each other in the past, but today, I just want to find my friend to chat with. You can leave.” Emma’s face sank, and her tone was polite and cold.
Archie, “. . .”
A rare look of surprise appeared on Jimmy’s face.
“Emma, I guessed that you might come to find your grandfather, so I specially came to find you. Come home with me.” Archie’s voice softened.
“I won’t go back with you. I have my own home!” Emma wanted to talk to him with a stiff face, but her voice clearly softened.
Archie’s face looked like it had been slapped by someone. It was stiff and heavy.
Jimmy also took the opportunity to say to Emma, “Emma, come to my house and have a seat. The wind is very strong here.”
“Okay!” Emma directly agreed.
“You are not allowed to go!” Archie suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist. He was as overbearing as an emperor.
Emma was completely stunned. She turned around and stared at Archie. “Let me go.”
“I will not allow you to go home with him.” Archie was worried that if their old relationship rekindled and Emma lost her memory, perhaps the person she loved in her memory was Jimmy. That would be really dangerous.
Jimmy stood at the side, silent. He was waiting for Emma to make her own decision.
Emma’s heart was stifled. She used all her strength to try to shake Archie’s hand off. Unfortunately, she could not shake off his hand.
“If you want to go, you can. I want to go too!” Archie saw it. Emma’s small face was dark, as if she was really angry. His eyes immediately softened.
“I don’t want you to go!” Emma directly replied, “Archie, if you continue to be so rude, there will be nothing to talk about between us.”
Archie held the large palm in her hand. After hearing her words, he let go.
Emma did not even turn her head and followed Jimmy to his house to drink tea.
In the cold wind, Archie’s eyes were cool. He stared at the backs of the two people and suddenly felt abandoned and lonely.
James had also gotten out of the car a long time ago. He stood not far away and naturally saw this scene.
For some reason, he felt sorry for young master.
“Young master, Miss Emma has lost her memory. Her temper has also grown.” James said with a dry smile, wanting to resolve this awkward situation.
“Send someone to keep an eye on them. Don’t allow them to do anything intimate. If they do, beat Jimmy to death.” After Archie finished explaining, he turned around and returned to the car with a cold face.
James was speechless. “. . .”
Why did all the hard work fall on his head? If he beat Jimmy up, would he still be good friends with Emma?
