My Most Precious Wife

Chapter 403 Is This Man Ridiculous

“No, how could I feel that way?”

Emily hurriedly explained.

With his pedigree, Joseph was more than an eligible man for her.

But his didn’t matter. The point was that nothing had happened between them.

Emily was convinced that they were set up by someone.

She could not relate it to anyone but Wendy!

However, Joseph didn’t want to talk about how he was drugged in front of so many people. If he did,

the entire family would be restless.

Emily had no idea about resolving this dilemma.

“With his family background, Joseph is too good for you, girl.”

A deep voice came.

Everyone looked over in surprise. It was Hunter, who had always been quiet.

“Did Young Master Hunter agree so?” Wendy thought to herself.

Wendy looked astonished. She didn’t expect it at all. It was a complete surprise!

Emily looked at him, feeling acute anxiety. However, she gradually calmed down while he was gazing

at her with a seeming smile.

“Young Master Hunter, do you also think I should get engaged to Joseph?”

“That depends on your feelings for each other. Why ask me?”

Hunter gave a faint smile, picked up his cup and took a sip of tea.

Then he looked back at her, still with a half-smile.

“However, Joseph will make a good husband. You are lucky to marry him.”

Emily clenched her fists, and her sharp fingernails almost pierced into the flesh of her palms.

She appeared calmer and more indifferent, though.

She withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Joseph beside her.

Joseph smiled slightly and said, “Don’t push her. I’ll discuss it with her later …”

“Why later? Isn’t it better if we explain everything now and here before everyone?”

Sawyer understood the principle of striking while the iron was hot, even though Emily’s grudging

attitude was obvious to him.

He knew that it was selfish of him to keep Emily by his side.

Besides, the way Emily looked at Hunter was a bit strange.

It puzzled Sawyer since Hunter was very kind to Wendy. Emily was her younger sister, so Emily

couldn’t like the same man as she.

If this continued, Emily would get hurt.

“I believe Joseph. He will take good care of you. Don’t worry.”

Joseph didn’t say anything. He just looked at Emily and smiled softly.

Emily met Joseph’s eye. She didn’t know if she was angry or what, but she held his hand.

Joseph held her small hand tightly.

He smiled, “Does Grandpa have to talk about this in front of so many people? Can I talk to you in the

study tomorrow?”

“But ... ” Sawyer didn’t feel assured. It was best to set a date for the engagement tonight.

This was the fail-safe plan.

Sawyer hurried them to prevent Emily from escaping!

Lottie said indifferently, “Dad, it’s already very late. If there’s anything else, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.

Let them go upstairs and rest.”

“That’s right, Mr. Sawyer. It’s so late. Why bother? It’s time for bed.”

Milo was winking at him desperately.

Clearly, Emily was in a bad mood. Sawyer should feel for her.

It wasn’t that Sawyer didn’t sympathize, but he was afraid to miss such a good opportunity.

However, they were all persuading him now. If he didn’t listen, he would probably make things difficult

for Emily. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“Alright, Joseph, come to my study tomorrow morning. I’ll talk to you about this. Now ... “

He looked at Emily, then stared at Joseph and blinked.

“Comfort her nicely. Don’t let such a good girl leave you.”

“I know.” Joseph nodded and stood up.

Surprisingly, now Joseph was looking at Wendy. “Wendy, last time you asked me for information about

the company administration. I’ve got it for you. Follow me and I’ll give it to you.”

The word of Wendy asking for the administration information shocked not only Sawyer but also Lottie.

However, Joseph beamed, “The Gale Group will be hers sooner or later. If we let her deal with the

company’s affairs earlier, she won’t be in a rush when she takes over.”

Although Joseph got a point there, Sawyer still felt a little guilty when he looked at Joseph.

Sawyer thought Joseph was really a good child.

Following Sawyer’s orders for all these years, Joseph worked for the Gale Group without complaint or

regret. Joseph did whatever Sawyer asked him to do.

Over the years, Joseph had never asked for anything.

Sawyer sighed and nodded. “Then … I’ll leave you to have a good chat.”

“I’m a little sleepy. I want to go back to my room.”

Emily stood up. After Sawyer nodded in agreement, she said goodnight to others and headed straight

for the spiral staircase.

She didn’t cast a glance at Hunter at all.

It was because this man was no longer worthy of her attachment.

He didn’t deserve it in the slightest.

Emily walked back to her room with heavy steps.

Actually, she already had a shower and changed her clothes, but somehow, she wanted to take

another shower.

Perhaps she felt that her body was filthy. It was indescribably filthy.

How could Emily not feel sullied by Hunter’s touch?

Even though she had already bathed herself, the disgust lingered.

She felt herself horrendously disgusting.

In the bathroom, she went for the cold tap.

As the New Year neared, running water was freezing, keeping her trembling and she almost fainted.

However, the pain kept her awake all the time.

She wondered if there was any point of feeling heartbroken.

Those that did not belong to her would eventually leave.

Therefore, this sentiment wasn’t necessary.

Half an hour later, Emily came out of the bathroom with a towel around her.

She was a little unsteady on her feet, still shivering with cold!

She never expected to see another figure in the room the moment she came out.

Sitting in a chair, he looked at her coldly.

Emily’s expression darkened and she immediately leaned to the bathroom, intending to close the door.

He was even faster than she had imagined. She only took two steps back, and he was already in front

of her.

With a firm grasp, he pulled Emily over into his embrace.

Her body in his arms was chilly, like a Popsicle.

Hunter’s face instantly turned purple with rage. “Did you take a cold bath? Are you crazy?”

However, Emily only felt he was ridiculous.

He asked with concern. He seemed to worry about her.

How absurd it was to Emily!

She laughed at him, in particular, when he pulled her over, threw her on the bed, pulled the quilt and

tucked her in.

Perhaps he was afraid that she would catch a cold.

A few minutes ago, Hunter tried to push her into the arms of another man, but now, he was pretending

to care about her.

He played countless tricks, but they were all for acting.

He never got tired of acting around.
