Minlan’s face was very stiff and pale, as if she had received a huge blow.
“Old master, even if the old lady agrees to cancel the engagement, But I cannot agree.” Minlan had a modest and polite expression just now. Suddenly, her expression changed. “My daughter made a mistake because she loves your grandson. She was locked up in the cell. In the end, it was because she loved Archie too much. She had suffered so much. If I withdraw the marriage. . . I’m afraid that my daughter won’t even have the courage to live. I hope you can understand my feelings as a mother.”
“Mrs. Sandford, do you think our Grafton Family will marry a woman who has been in jail? When your daughter committed a crime, In the end, it was only because your Sandford Family’s tutelage failed too much. That’s why you raised such a good daughter who doesn’t care about the law.” Old Master Grafton’s mouth was full of evil deeds. Even though he was old, he could still argue about such things. He didn’t feel any pressure at all.
Minlan’s face turned completely dark and ugly.
“Old master, you are already so old. How can you say such insulting words? Please give me a reason to cancel the engagement.” Minlan was angry. She felt that the Garfton Family was going too far.
“The reason is very simple. I want to find a blind date for my grandson. If the other party hears that my grandson is holding a marriage, tell me, Am I unable to carry a great-grandson even in my death? Mrs. Sandford, please think of me as an old man. I really want to carry a great-grandson in my lifetime. If anyone wants to stop me from making this wish, even if it means risking my old bones. We’ll definitely make them regret it.” Old Master Garfton’s tone was filled with dignity, causing people to feel a chill down their spines.
Minlan was also shocked. She did not expect old master to threaten her.
“Did old master say that he has found a suitable candidate? I wonder which daughter she is? Can you let me know?” Minlan deliberately continued to ask.
“The other party’s identity is definitely enough to match my grandson. She is extremely noble and beautiful. She is a princess.” Old master did not mention her name. He just praised her.
“Do I know her?” Minlan deliberately asked.
She was really afraid of this beautiful princess. He was referring to her own daughter, Emma.
“Of course you don’t know her. She is the daughter of a famous socialite in Country F. A while ago, I had an appointment with her elders for a blind date. However, due to Archie still holding onto this marriage, we didn’t meet smoothly. Mrs. Sandford, you have to give me some face. Withdraw this marriage beforehand so that Archie can find a good wife in victory.” In old master’s tone, It was no longer as aggressive as before. Instead, it made it harder for people to reject his request.
Minlan thought to herself.
Was it really not her own daughter, Emma?
“I cannot make the decision on this matter. I must discuss it with my husband!” Minlan was a woman and definitely could not make the decision.
“Okay, I will wait for your reply tomorrow. Please don’t make things difficult for an old man like me.” Old Master Grafton said and stood up with his walking stick. He turned around and walked out.
Minlan looked at his back and felt stifled in her heart. She could not spit it out. It was very uncomfortable.
Did Archie have a blind date?
This was really an interesting thing. She had to quickly go upstairs to find her daughter and share it with her.
Minlan thought in her heart and had already turned around to walk upstairs.
When she knocked on her daughter’s door, she did not see her open the door for a long time.
A maid rushed over, “Madam, Miss went out early in the morning and said that she went to find a job.”
“When did this happen? Why didn’t I know?” Minlan’s face sank when she heard that her daughter had gone out again.
“At that time, Madam had not woken up yet.”
“This girl has been out crazy all day long. I wonder if she really went to find a job.” Minlan was extremely angry.
Of course Emma did not go to find a job. She went to find a lover.
The hotel she found yesterday was probably going to be mocked by Archie for a long time.
Emma pouted and raised her hand to knock on the door.
This was a high-end neighborhood. Emma was sure that she had never been here before.
The door opened and Archie lazily stood at the door. He was only wearing a white shirt and pants. Even a simple white shirt could give off a noble feeling when worn by him.
“Come in!” Archie said in a mute voice.
Emma heard his charming voice and her heart started to tremble.
She obediently walked in.
As soon as she stepped in, she was picked up by the man and pressed against the wall beside her.
“Why did you come so late? Don’t you know that I’m getting impatient from waiting?” Archie scolded him in a low voice, but it sounded more like a murmur between lovers.
Emma laughed lightly. “You still say that I am like a thief every day. I have a lot of pressure in my heart, do you know?”
“Then let me help you relieve your pressure. I am the best. What pressure? I will solve it all after doing it once.” Archie also smiled. His voice was deep like an intoxicating wine.
Emma’s small face immediately heated up. She reached out and pushed his shoulder. “Put me down. Why are you hugging me?”
“I like hugging you like this!” Archie said shamelessly.
“I haven’t even had breakfast yet. Do you have anything to eat here? Let me fill my stomach first.” Emma smiled bitterly.
“Silly girl, why didn’t you say so earlier?” Archie tapped her forehead with his finger. “Let me make you something to eat.”
“You know how to cook?” Emma could not believe it.
Archie raised his eyebrows. “In your eyes, Am I not even allowed to enter the kitchen?”
“Yes, of course!” Emma nodded.
Archie’s handsome face looked a little sad for some reason. He looked at her gently and kissed her forehead. “Emma, If you hadn’t lost your memory, that would be great. We wouldn’t have been like this.”
When Emma heard his sad words, her big black eyes blinked and she also felt inexplicably sad.
“I also hope that I didn’t lose my memory. This way, I can remember the beautiful time when I was with you in the past.” Emma’s small mouth also gently kissed his forehead.
“I will make some food for you. In a while, I have something very important to tell you.” Archie put her down.
“What is it? You can tell me now.” Emma panicked. His tone was so serious. It must be something important.
Archie walked into the kitchen and took the noodles. There were still two pieces of bread. He poured another cup of milk to warm it.
“I need you to cooperate with me in acting. If you act well, the possibility of us being together will be very high.” Archie said in a deep voice as he boiled the water.
Archie’s words caused Emma to be slightly stunned. She knit her brows in confusion and looked into the man’s eyes. “What kind of play do you want me to play?”
“Of course it’s a good show!” Archie took the chopsticks and scattered the noodles in the boiling water. There was a mysterious smile on his handsome face.
Emma saw this scene and felt her heart soften. She really wanted to rush over and hug this man.
He was really too sexy and charming. The sleeve of his shirt was rolled up, revealing a sturdy small wall. He had a noble temperament and should not be standing in the kitchen to cook noodles. Instead, he should be in his office building to deal with official business.
The contrast made him even more attractive.
Emma looked at him absent-mindedly. There was a trace of greed in her beautiful eyes.
She did not even take him seriously to listen to him speak.
“What kind of good show is this? Don’t keep me in suspense. Quickly tell me!” Emma still could not hold it in and walked behind him. Two snow-white little hands wrapped around his back and her small face rubbed on it as much as she wanted.
Like a kitten that needed its master’s love, it was also very tempting.
Archie felt his nerves tighten. This little thing had actually enticed him here.
After Archie closed the lid, he caught her two little hands and released them. He turned around and placed her two little hands on his chest. His gaze was gentle as he stared at her, his thin lips still carrying a smile. “I’m afraid you will be angry if I tell you.”
“I won’t. I’m not that petty.” Emma’s small hands were pressed against the firm muscles on his chest. She only felt that her palm was burning. Even her snow white face was dyed with a faint blush.
She really wanted to tear open his shirt and not this layer of obstruction.
When she thought of this, Emma jumped in shock.
Heavens, why would she think like this?
When did she become so casual?
