Emma’s heart skipped a beat and her jet-black eyes swept towards Yunita. “I did not even know that my father was going engaged me to Yoseph. How did you know?”
Yunita choked and coldly snorted, “Isn’t this something that everyone knows? You and Yoseph are getting engaged. You will get married sooner or later.”
“I have the right to choose who to marry. It seems like it is not up to Miss Henfox to worry about it.” Emma pursed her lips and replied with the same impolite tone.
“Of course I do not have the time to worry about who you want to marry. But if you are with my cousin, it will affect his reputation. Of course I have to care about it.” Yunita’s heart was filled with anger. Once she confronted Emma, even her rationality would be lost and there would be no weight in her words.
Emma’s small face turned pale.
Archie immediately scolded in a deep voice, “Yunita, say less.”
Yunita saw that Archie would only blame her but did not have any complaints about Emma and became even more sad, “Cousin, I also said this for your sake. She is too selfish. She only thinks about herself but did not do it for you. . . ”
“Yunita, you do not need to worry about my matters.” Archie’s face was already very ugly. After he said those words in a deep voice, the large palm gently pulled Emma, who was dumbstruck, up. “Follow me over there. I will introduce two friends to you.”
Emma hummed in a low voice and followed Archie over there.
Even if her back was facing Yunita, she could still feel her pair of bone-piercing cold eyes. She kept staring at herself.
Emma’s mood fell for no reason.
Yunita was the first person to say in front of her that she had destroyed Archie’s reputation.
But she knew that Yunita was not the first person. Everyone looked at her strangely and there were even many whispers.
“Archie, I’m a little tired. I want to go back to my room to rest.” Suddenly, Emma stopped in her tracks. Then, she gently broke free of Archie’s large palm. Without waiting for him to speak, she turned around, grabbed the skirt of her gown, and quickly ran to the stairs beside her.
“Emma. . . ” Archie called her in a deep voice.
She ran even faster, as if there was a flood chasing her from behind.
Archie’s thick eyebrows retracted, and his eyes swept over Yunita sharply.
Emma must have heard her words and received a blow.
That was why she lost all her confidence and appeared in public with him.
Archie’s face was dark, but he also quickly chased after the direction Emma disappeared in.
Yunita crossed her arms in front of her chest, holding the wine glass and drinking slowly. The corner of her mouth curled up into a cold smile.
She thought that Emma’s skin was very thick but she did not expect that the moment she mentioned it, she would not have the face to stay here.
Emma returned to her room and stood by the window, looking at the blue sea and the sky outside the window.
Was she a little too proud of herself? She did not remember how embarrassing her identity was. She even followed Archie in front of everyone and acted so intimately.
She really shouldn’t have.
“Emma, open the door!” The man’s deep voice sounded outside the door, followed by two knocks on the door.
Emma looked back at the door and secretly sighed. She walked over and opened the door.
“Are you angry?” Archie looked at her dim eyes and showed concern in a soft voice.
“Archie, your cousin is right. We shouldn’t have shown off our love in such a high-profile way. This will ruin your reputation.” Emma laughed bitterly at herself.
“I’m not afraid. What are you afraid of?”
“Of course I am also afraid. My reputation must not be good either.” Emma became bitter.
“Do you care?” Archie was shocked. What he was afraid of was her retreating.
Emma looked at him with her beautiful eyes. After that, she said, “Archie, your cousin doesn’t seem to like me.”
Archie was speechless. “. . .”
“Do you know the reason? Why doesn’t she like me? Have I offended her before?” Emma was really puzzled. Logically speaking, Yunita shouldn’t have such deep hatred towards her.
“Do you want to hear the truth?” Archie walked in and closed the door.
“Of course I want to hear the truth.” Emma’s heart skipped a beat.
“She likes me!” Emma was shocked by Archie’s words.
Emma could not believe it. “But she is your cousin. She laughed at us for violating morals. Could it be that if she likes you, it is not called messing around?”
“She’s my uncle’s adopted daughter, we’re not related by blood.” Archie explained.
Emma was a little surprised again. “I see. But this is not possible. She is your cousin.”
“Of course not. You are the only person I like. I only treat her as my younger sister.” Archie smiled.
“No wonder she hates me so much. She is my love rival.” Emma finally solved her doubts.
