Emma was choked by his words. Her face was already red, but now it was boiling hot. She glared at him angrily. “Archie, if you continue being so indecent, I will leave.”
Harassment had long become Archie’s daily routine, but he had forgotten. This woman could not withstand his teasing right now.
Before she lost her memory, he had taught her to be as gentle as water. Now, she had lost her memory. Once again, she had returned to the time before liberation. Her character had returned to being unyielding and upright, and she couldn’t even afford to joke around anymore.
Archie’s heart was tired.
Archie could only stand up from his seat and walk towards her step by step.
Emma remembered what he said earlier and subconsciously guarded against him.
“Don’t go!” Archie sat down beside her and his voice was low and pleading. “Stay by my side. Don’t go anywhere.”
He tried to persuade her to stay, which made Emma’s heart beat like a drum. For some reason, with such a simple sentence, she was a little confused.
It sounded like he really needed her.
“Then stop talking nonsense.” Emma herself did not realize that her tone had already softened.
“Okay!” Archie became very obedient.
Emma then pursed her lips and stared straight at him. She asked, “Do you know what happened to my grandfather? I went to look for him just now and his family was confiscated by the court.”
Archie was slightly shocked. He had expected that she would definitely find out about this.
“Your grandfather owes the bank a loan. He can’t afford it. The Quinsley Family has gone bankrupt.” Archie said casually.
“How could this be? My grandfather is such a smart and cunning person. . . ” Emma could not believe it.
Archie sneered. It was precisely because he was too smart that the Quinsley Family suffered such a severe punishment.
“Business matters are unpredictable. It was not a coincidence that your grandfather went bankrupt. He was short-sighted and greedy for small profits. . . ”
“Don’t belittle my grandfather like that.” Emma immediately stared at him in dissatisfaction.
Archie shrugged his shoulders and did not say anything else.
This little thing had forgotten about the wedding and became Gustav’s good granddaughter again.
“Forget it. I will ask my grandfather about this matter. I have another thing to ask you. How did we get married back then?” Emma’s eyes were still fixed on Archie. She was deeply afraid that he would lie to her.
Archie’s deep eyes gently swept across her face. After that, he said faintly, “Did someone tell you something?”
“Yes, my mom said that I was someone you found to replace the bride, is that the case?” Emma asked angrily.
Archie pursed his lips into a line and nodded after a long while. “Yes, but also not!”
Emma was stunned and her small face turned red. “Then tell me clearly why you wanted to marry me back then.”
“I only married you because I love you!” Archie answered very firmly.
“That’s impossible. I don’t believe that we have met before marriage.” Emma had a face full of doubt.
Archie knew this was not a good hurdle to cross. But since they were talking about this, he did not want to avoid it.
“I have a crush on you!” Archie’s deep voice was like the heaviest sound on the piano keys. Just listening to it made one’s heart move.
Emma was stunned.
She widened her beautiful eyes and repeated him in disbelief. “You have a crush on me?”
“Yes, without you knowing, I fell in love with you. You are the only woman I want to marry. I have no intention of cheating on you.” Archie’s tone was still firm.
Emma was speechless at this moment.
It was too shocking. A great young master like Archie actually had a crush on her when she was unaware?
Did she have this kind of charm?
“Then why did we get divorced after that?” Emma actually knew that it was because of the child, but she still wanted to hear him say it personally.
“My grandfather doesn’t agree!” Archie’s handsome face was downcast. “My grandfather always wanted me to marry your sister Luisa, but the person I love has always been you.”
“Your grandfather didn’t agree, so you divorced me? It can be seen that you don’t love me that much.” Emma mocked.
Archie reached out his hand and held her small hand that was twisted together tightly. “Emma, I don’t care if you believe me or not. After we divorce. . . My grandfather was not in good health at that time. He fainted at our wedding because of his health. This time, we are going to Country F. The reason we are going to Country F is to find my grandfather and ask him to agree to our remarriage. On the day of our car accident, my grandfather had already agreed. It was just that fate played tricks on us, a car accident. . . It caused you to lose all your memories.”
Emma stared into his eyes and listened to his sorrowful voice. Her heart inexplicably tightened.
His eyes did not lie. She knew.
Emma’s heart was in a mess, like a huge wave, unable to calm down for a moment.
“Alright, even if we truly love each other, but. . . My parents don’t seem to agree with us dating, do you know why?” Emma asked with a confused heart.
“Your father and I have a grudge. It’s a political matter!” Archie still answered frankly.
“Then. . . What should we do now? Can we still fall in love?” Emma’s small face was full of worry.
“As long as you are willing to be with me, we can always fall in love. You can decide everything.” Archie looked at her with deep affection, hoping that she could give him the answer he wanted.
“I. . . I will think about it. . . ” Emma did not dare to look into his eyes, afraid that she would drown in it at this moment.
When Archie heard her answer, his thin lips slightly raised.
He did not know why, but he believed that this woman was still his.
Emma’s beautiful eyes looked around randomly. Suddenly, she saw on the left side of his office, there was an exquisite small office.
On the desk, there was a bouquet of bright red roses. All the decorations inside were sending her a message.
This office belonged to a woman.
Emma’s heart was stifled for no reason. Her beautiful eyes kept looking at the office.
What kind of woman could share an office with Archie?
Could it be that she was his special assistant or secretary?
“Then who is using the office?” Emma could not hold back her curiosity. She pointed and asked.
Archie deliberately played tricks on her. “A woman, she was my special assistant.”
As she expected, it was a woman.
Emma’s eyes reddened and she pretended to be calm. “Oh.”
“What kind of position is a special assistant?” Emma gritted her teeth and asked curiously.
“The main position is to warm my bed.” The smile in Archie’s eyes could not be hidden anymore.
“Warm your bed?” When Emma heard this, she was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.
Archie could not help laughing out loud. “Silly, that’s your office.”
Emma felt that she had been taken advantage of by Archie again. Embarrassed and angry, she clenched her small fists and threw them into his arms.
Unfortunately, it smashed into the depths of the man’s warm palm. He gently pulled her over and hugged her tightly.
Emma’s small head was gently pressed against his embrace. The silent office was so tightly pressed that she could hear his strong heartbeat.
Her heart trembled for no reason.
“Emma, I really hope you can remember the past quickly. This way, we won’t have to love so hard.” There was a trace of sadness in Archie’s tone.
