Emma did not immediately turn around to go back. Instead, she leaned against a pillar at the door and stared blankly at the road.
She had long seen through her parents’ thoughts and this made her very worried. So, she really wanted to know Yoseph’s attitude.
Just now, she also took the opportunity to ask about his thoughts. After knowing that he would not force her, the anxiety in Emma’s heart also relaxed a little.
As long as Yoseph did not force her, her parents’ side could also be temporarily fooled.
Emma tilted her little head. Her impression of Yoseph was actually not too bad.
His words just now had increased his favorable impression of her. If she married him. . .
Emma was letting her imagination run wild. Suddenly, a black off-road vehicle crashed into her fiercely. It almost hit the stone pillar outside the door. She was so scared that she almost cried out in shock.
However, before she could scream,. . .
Archie’s gloomy figure covered her face.
“. . . Archie?” Emma was so scared that she called out his name.
“Come with me!” Archie could not help but break up with her. He pulled her hand and threw her into the car. As the door closed, he went around to the driver’s seat and the car sped away like an arrow.
Emma caught her breath. The door of her house was already far behind her.
“Hey, Archie, why are you here?” Emma was very surprised.
Archie snorted coldly and said in a sarcastic tone. “If I hadn’t come to find you today, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have seen the intimate interaction between you and Yoseph.”
Emma panicked. When she sent Yoseph out earlier, was Archie watching from the side?
“Didn’t we break up? Why did you come to find me?” Emma deliberately put on a stern face and said.
“You mentioned breaking up, but did I agree?” Archie looked at her with a serious look. “I will tell you now. I will not agree.”
Emma thought of the gap between them that she could not cross and felt a little angry for some reason. “I have said it before. I don’t need your permission. I just want to break up with you.”
“Emma, have you decided to marry Yoseph?” Archie suddenly stepped on the brakes. The car stopped by the roadside. Strong body leaned towards the front passenger seat and almost pressed on Emma.
Emma only felt her mouth go dry and could not help but shrink back into the back of the chair. “I’ve said it before. Marrying anyone means that I can’t marry you.”
“You are so afraid when you are with me?” Archie’s handsome face was in pain.
Emma bit her lower lip and looked at the painful expression under his eyes. Her heart was also very uncomfortable.
“I am not afraid. . . ” Emma’s voice was very low, “I just feel that this is a matter of morality.”
“You were not like this in the past. Even if your parents did not agree, even if I married your sister, you still did not shrink back and chose to be with me.” Archie really wanted to knock her head awake and return the previous Emma to him, not this determined and cowardly little fool in front of him.
Emma’s entire body froze and her lips trembled as she said, “It’s because I was too absurd before. That’s why I want to be a new person now.”
Archie froze. His cold and hard face tightened a little. She actually said she wanted to be a new person?
This was too much of a blow to him, and too much of a blow to his heart.
Could it be that by being with him, she had committed a crime?
“If I had known you were such a timid person, I wouldn’t have loved you so deeply!” Archie was really angry. His handsome face was gloomy.
Emma held her breath, her chest heaving up and down.
“I am not afraid of trouble, I just. . . I feel that this is against ethics.” Emma softly retorted for herself.
Archie coldly snorted.
The atmosphere in the car was very heavy. Both of their breaths were very heavy, making it appear that the space was even narrower.
“Get out of the car!” Archie seemed to be very tired. He sat back in his seat, one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the window. He stared at the front of the car without any focus. His heart was beating fast.
Emma looked out the window and then looked at Archie’s ugly face. She asked in a trembling voice, “Where is this?”
There was a small path outside the window and there were no street lights by the side. Emma was a little afraid and did not dare to get out of the car.
“Can you send me back?” Emma was afraid of the darkness and decided to ask him for help.
Archie’s face was cold, and he refused, “No! We are not on the way.”
Emma’s small face stiffened. She knew that he was doing it on purpose. She did not want to beg him anymore. She opened the car door and jumped down.
Just as the car door closed, the car stepped on the accelerator and went far away.
“This is too much. He dragged me into the car, but he left me halfway.” Emma was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
She quickly ran in the direction of the light.
She was standing at the door and wearing slippers. When she ran, she found that it was very cold. Furthermore, it rained in the afternoon and the ground was wet and slippery. She could not run fast even if she wanted to, and she did not have a phone. It was as if she was isolated from the world.
However, she had no other choice now, except to run quickly and find her way home.
She was not familiar with this area. She had been in a hurry to argue with Archie just now, but she had forgotten to look at the road signs. Now, she could not even tell the direction.
She finally reached the place where the streetlights were. However, she saw a three-way intersection in front of her.
Emma was like a lost child, standing under the street lights in a daze.
A strong car lamp suddenly shot onto her face. The light was so dazzling that she could not even open her eyes.
She quickly turned her eyes away and saw a tall figure walk out of the car.
Archie did not drive the car away. Instead, he parked the car in the shade and waited for her.
Emma was angry in her heart. She deliberately turned around and walked forward quickly. She was in a panic.
Archie’s legs were long. He blocked her way in a few steps. “Have you thought clearly who you want to marry?”
Emma stubbornly avoided him and continued to walk forward in a hurry.
Archie’s expression stiffened and he could only turn around. The large palm grabbed her wrist.
“Let me go!” Emma held her breath. Her eyes were red from anger.
Archie pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and focused on her angry face. His voice was gentle. “Are you really angry?”
This man was asking the obvious. Emma gritted her teeth angrily, “Archie, if you continue to mess with me like this, I will not be polite with you.”
“Sorry, I admit I was impulsive just now. I was just afraid of losing you.” Archie did not have a temper anymore and apologized to her in a low voice.
Emma’s originally angry mood had completely dissipated because of his fear of losing her.
She raised her head and her slightly red eyes reflected the man’s serious face.
“I don’t know what to do. You suddenly broke up with me. I am not prepared at all. These few days, I tried not to contact you. If I didn’t come to you, I would have been able to regain the freedom I used to when I was single. But I can’t go back, Emma. I’m used to having your days. I’m used to waking up in the morning every day. The feeling of you lying in my arms.” Archie’s tone was gentle and affectionate. The first word, every word. It made Emma’s heart tremble.
Emma’s small mouth was slightly open but she did not know what to say. Her mind was already in a mess.
Because of what he said, she even imagined how she would wake up from his embrace every morning.
Archie leaned over slightly. Their faces were very close to each other, and they could feel each other’s burning breaths.
“Emma, I am used to having your life.” Archie’s voice was gentle and carried a touch of melancholy.
Emma lowered her head and her two small hands were trembling.
The man’s affectionate gaze was like a ball of fire burning at her heart, burning her soul to the point of not being able to calm down.
She had to admit that his words resonated with her heart, making her want to return to his side at all costs.
Although she did not remember what happened in the past, just listening to what he said made her feel that life must be very blissful and attractive.
A trace of cold wind blew over and forcefully pulled Emma’s reason back. She suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart and said in a tight voice, “Archie, I really can’t go out with you. Our identities are not suitable.”
Archie’s handsome eyes froze, and his whole body tensed up.
Emma took a deep breath. She took a deep breath and her voice trembled. “I know you are very good and outstanding. You are the prince charming that every woman wants to marry. . . ”
“Since I am so good, are you willing to give me to another woman?” Archie interrupted her coldly.
Emma’s heart tensed up. With every word he said, it became a little weaker.
“The woman on the golf course last time was very suitable for you, wasn’t she?” Emma did not know why she brought this up. She felt as if she was jealous and regretted it.
Archie frowned and explained, “She is my cousin!”
Emma was stunned and then blushed. Luckily, it was dark here and Archie could not see it.
“Do you usually get along with your cousin so intimately?” Emma said lightly.
She did not forget that the woman proudly held his arm tightly as if she was monopolizing him.
