Chapter 46 Are You Waiting for Me?



Chapter 46 Are You Waiting for Me?

He didn't understand Keegan's meaning at that time. Many years later, he finally learned that his brother was trying to protect him and didn't want him and Frank to fight each other.

But he really didn't fight with Frank. It was just that in the year he turned sixteen, Frank wanted to kill him. He withdrew from the family feud, but Frank still wanted him dead.

During the years he moved to Soul Island, Frank attacked him several times. Finally, he was freed when he had Pes. He went to France for three years. To others, he had been there to heal his legs, while in fact, Archer got his legs recovered within six months.

He spent the remaining two and a half years training day and night in the organization. He wanted so badly to listen to his brother and not compete for the family business, but if he was going to stay alive, he had to be strong.

Frank wanted to kill him, so how could he not fight for it? And now his mother was once again asking him to give up the presidency to Frank. If he agreed, maybe he would soon be put to death by Frank!

Could he still take that risk? Even so, he now had Emmeline by his side. He seemed to have seen a good future ahead. He had to be strong to protect his woman and the people he was supposed to protect.

"Mother, Frank, and I are both your children. Why is it that only Frank can become the president and I can't? Grandpa declared personally that the presidency belongs to me. How could I give this position to Frank?" There was mockery in his eyes, but more precisely, depression.

"Stefan, Frank has made a great contribution to the company for so many years. He should be the real candidate for the president of the Byrne Group. Grandpa only gave you this position because he loves you. You can't possibly be qualified for this position. You'd better give it back to Frank." Ciara could no longer resist exposing what was on her mind.

It seemed that she was concerned about Stefan's health and was afraid that he would suffer for the Byrne Group, while on the other hand, she was trying to get Stefan to give up his position as president.

"Mother, didn't you hear that Grandpa asked me personally to be the president of the Byrne Group. It hasn't even been a day, and you're asking me to give the position to Frank. What would Grandpa think of me, the grandson he had such high hopes for, if he knew?"

He looked at Ciara with sharp eyes, "I will not disobey Grandpa. Mother, please forgive me!"

"You ..." Ciara glared at Stefan. She hadn't cared for him for years, and she didn't expect him not to be the same obedient and compliant little boy anymore.

He kept calling her mother and asking her for forgiveness. He didn't call her mom, which meant he was distant from her. He rebuffed politely, and there was nothing she could do about it even if she was partial to Frank.

"Well, Stefan, since Grandpa has given you this responsibility, you should manage the Byrne Group well." Callum finally spoke up.

"I will, Father." Stefan wheeled to leave. He didn't even look at the people in the conference room, but walked out with Paul and Chand and went straight into the president's office.

Stefan's success as president at the shareholders' meeting created an uproar throughout X City.

And Emmeline didn't know anything about it on Soul Island. In the evening, Paul and Stefan returned to the island.

Emmeline waited on the beach and saw the car stop on the beach from afar. She walked over quickly and pushed the wheelchair.

Stefan opened the car door. Seeing the girl's soft little face, his tiredness disappeared instantly.

"Are you waiting for me? Ma'am."

Emmeline smiled and nodded, "I'm waiting for you to come back for dinner. You should be back at this hour if there are no social engagements."

Stefan got into his wheelchair and took Emmeline's hand, "I will be very busy in the future. Don't wait for me to have dinner if you are hungry."

Emmeline pushed his wheelchair towards the villa, "I can wait. Are you comfortable with your first day at the Byrne Group today?"

"Yes, ma'am. Don't you know your husband? In every way, I am the strongest." He looked into her dark blue eyes.

He decided in his mind that he would not let anyone hurt his girl.

He had wanted to let his grandfather know today that his legs were healed. He had thought that if the shareholders of the Byrne Group made a scene today, he would just stand up and deal with them one by one.

But nothing happened today. He remembered Emmeline's words: I'll leave when your legs is healed.

The reason that he didn't want his legs to "recover" was also because he was afraid she would leave.

So he would not let her know that his legs were healed until he had to.

Back at the villa, Emmeline carefully helped him eat and bathe.

Then Stefan went to his study to take care of his work. A while later, he called Asher, "Get someone to clean the Sweedal Residence. I'll be moving in in a couple of days."

"You're going to live in your own house in X City? Didn't Mr. Byrne ask you to live in the Bryne Mansion?" Asher asked in surprise. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"I don't want to live there. I'll just live in Sweedal Residence."

"Okay, I'll get someone to clean up. By the way, Stefan, do you want to live alone with your wife? No wonder you don't live at the Byrne Mansion since you are cuddle your beautiful wife every day."

Asher laughed. Just as he finished speaking, Stefan saw Emmeline carrying tea and pushed the door in.

He hung up the phone and waved to Emmeline, "Come here."

Emmeline walked up to him, "Are you going to work late? I made tea for you. You should not drink coffee at night, and I'll massage your legs while you sleep."

Stefan didn't say anything, but pulled Emmeline onto his lap, "Honey, you’ve been working too much. We're going to stay in X City for a few days. If there's anything you want to do, just let me know."

Emmeline looked at his gentle face, "Is it inconvenient for you to go to the office every day, so you are going to stay in X City?"

"Well, yes. Once we go there, I'll have Paul to take care of me when I go to the office during the day, and then you can go to school." He reached out and stroked her long, soft hair.

"But, honey, even if you go to school, you have to remember that you are married and have to keep your distance from the men. Understand?" His eyes were soft.

He gently squeezed the girl's shoulder with his big warm hand.

Emmeline stared at him. He really let her go to school!

"Well, if you don't feel comfortable, I'll stay home. It's okay if I don't go to school." She just said it casually that day, and he actually took it seriously.

If she did go to school, how would she face Agnes and the others? And did Antonio go to America? She was actually afraid to see them.

"I promised you that I would let you go to school." In fact, he was not at ease with her going to school. Not for anything else, this time Frank did not take the presidency, and he believed that he would fight with him for all the days to come.

He just wanted to reassure her and didn't want her to be in danger where he couldn't see her.

Emmeline did not speak. In fact, he had given her the greatest reward by convincing Edison not to blame the Campbell family. Even if he didn't let her go to school, she wouldn't blame him.

Stefan hugged the woman in his arms and suddenly felt full of energy. He had to take the next step well and give this girl happiness.

"Go to bed. I still have some business to deal with. I'll come to you when I'm done." He gently patted her on the back.
