Archie was sensitive and suspicious. He could still hear the small tempers in her words. He could not help but ask in a low voice. “What’s wrong with you? Did something happen?”
Emma was shocked. It was over. Did Archie already hear that she was angry?
“No. I just. . . Watched a movie. The male lead in the movie betrayed the female lead. The plot was too sad, so I still haven’t recovered from it.” Emma made up another random sentence.
“You can still replace yourself in a movie?” Archie smiled lightly and believed her.
“Of course. As a woman, I will feel the same way.” Emma felt extremely depressed in her heart.
“I have time in the afternoon. Do you want to meet?” Archie’s thin lips curled up, and his smile was very gentle.
“Let’s not see each other. Didn’t we just meet yesterday?” Emma did not want to see him today. When she thought about how he promised Yunita that he would treat her to dinner, Emma got angry.
“We met yesterday, but it does not mean that we do not want to meet today.” Archie said gently.
“I have something to do in the afternoon.”
“What is it?”
“It has nothing to do with you anyway,” said Emma still have no choice but to be angry.
Archie was stunned and suddenly felt like his heart was blocked by something.
This woman actually had something to do with and It had nothing to do with him?
He suddenly felt a little hurt and asked with resentment. “What exactly is it that has nothing to do with me?”
Emma did not expect him to have such a wronged tone and was immediately speechless.
“I plan to visit my grandfather in the afternoon. Do you want to go with me?” Emma deliberately made things difficult for him.
“I’m not going!” Of course Archie would not go. Gustav was his enemy.
Emma laughed mockingly. “I told you. This has nothing to do with you. You still don’t believe me. Why don’t we meet tonight?”
“At night?” Archie was conflicted. Actually, if he did not agree to Yunita’s request, he would definitely agree to see her immediately.
However, in front of his uncle, he promised Yunita a condition. If he went back on his word midway, then he would become a person who did not keep his word.
“It’s okay to meet at night. It might be a little later.” In the end, Archie did not want to disappoint her.
“Why late? Why don’t we have dinner together tonight?” Emma actually wanted to make things difficult for him on purpose. She just wanted to see how he would reply to her.
“I have something to do tonight. Emma, I will come to see you at nine o’clock. Can I?” Archie’s tone was somewhat pleading.
“Nine o’clock? Then I might have to go to sleep. Forget it. That’s it. I’m hanging up.” Emma only felt a bellyful of anger.
In the end, she was still not as important as Yunita. Right?
Archie, you are really a bastard.
In the afternoon, Emma went to buy a lot of fruit gifts and went to see her grandfather, Gustav.
Although Gustav did not have to worry about his life now, he was definitely not as rich as before.
He also lived in a standard house. His son and daughter-in-law lived with him and took care of his daily life.
When Emma came, her aunt was not home. She heard from her grandfather that she went out to play cards.
Emma knew that her grandfather did not have money and that heartless aunt became angry and neglected him. It was inevitable that she was a little sad.
Emma put down the gifts and another thirty thousand yuan, which could be considered as living expenses for her grandfather.
After Gustav fell ill and experienced the storm, he lost his fighting spirit and appeared to be very depressed.
However, perhaps because he was old, Gustav wouldn’t want to make a comeback. He planned to live a peaceful life in his old age.
The money Emma gave him made him very touched.
So, when Emma left, Gustav suddenly stopped her, “Emma, wait a moment!”
Emma stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at her old grandfather. “Grandpa, do you have anything else?”
“There is one thing that I have been suppressing in my heart for a long time. It is about to become a mental illness. I think it is time to tell you.” Gustav sighed sadly.
“What is it?” Emma’s heart could not help but tremble.
“It is about. . . My daughter, Dinda Quinsley. . . ”
Emma’s expression stiffened. Dinda was the mother that she had always thought of, but now that she knew that she had stolen her from the hospital, her feelings were also mixed up.
“Maybe it is karma. My daughter has always been suffering from illness. In the past, when the Quinsley Family was wealthy, I gave her a very good treatment environment. But now. . . She is going to be chased out of the mental hospital. I don’t know where else I can send her.” As Gustav spoke, tears streamed down his face.
Emma murmured, “What did you say? Mental hospital? Didn’t you say that she was married to Country Y? She’s living a happy life.”
“No, Emma, that was all a lie from Grandfather. Actually, my daughter has been receiving treatment overseas. She has always been in a bad mood and has never been treated properly. I know that whatever I say now is meaningless. I deserve it.” Gustav, an old man, instantly broke into tears.
Emma also felt that her heart was extremely heavy, so she could only bite her lips. “Where is she? I will find a chance to meet her.”
“Okay, I will give you the address. You go and meet her. I hope you don’t hate her.” Gustav wrote down the address while trembling.
“I won’t hate her. At least, she didn’t abandon me.” Emma had already seen through it.
After taking the address and leaving her grandfather’s home, Emma sat in the car and suddenly cried like rain.
She had always thought that her mother did not want her and felt that she was a problem. But she did not expect that she actually had a serious mental illness and had been locked up in the hospital.
The grief that had been accumulating in her heart instantly erupted, making her cry so much that she couldn’t control herself.
