Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 216

The man in black looked at Emily and said coldly, "Miss Johnson, youshould know Mr. Brent's temper. Don't make things harder than itshould be."

Emily trembled, pursed her lips, and said to Joyce and James, "Wait forme here. I'll be right back."

"Emily." James grabbed her arm.

Emily handed Bryce to James and gently comforted James, "Don'tworry. I'll be fine. I'll be back soon. Take care of the child.”

James saw Emily's determined look, so he reluctantly nodded.

Now they were not allowed to go back. If they didn't finish theirbusiness with Franklin, they probably wouldn't be able to go back toDover any time soon.

Emily followed the man in black out of the station and saw a blackbusiness car parked on the side of the road.

The man in black opened the door for her and made an inviting gesturefor her to get in the car.

Emily glanced inside. As expected, Franklin was there.

He just didn't pay her any attention. He was expressionless as if sheowed him eight million dollars.

Emily bent over and sat down next to the door, keeping a distance fromFranklin.

"What do you want from me?" Emily asked.

Franklin remained expressionless and did not say a word, who was likea sculpture.

Emily had no time to quietly sit here with him. James and the otherswere still waiting for her. If she didn't go back, they would be worried."Speak it out if you have something to say. What do you mean byremaining silent like this? I'll leave Lancaster right away. Now you canrest assured! I won't appear in Lancaster ever again. No one will knowabout our relationship." Emily spoke again and promised him.

She thought that Franklin came to see her just to warn her not to showup in Lancaster again. So instead of waiting for him to say it out, shemight as well take the initiative to make such a promise.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Franklin's face finallychanged a little, but it was not a happy expression

"Are you so desperate to leave? So hateful to see me?” Franklinsuddenly turned around and pressed Emily into her seat.

Emily looked at him in a daze, unable to react for a moment.

When she came to her senses, she didn't know what to say. She openedher mouth but could not make a sound.

But soon Franklin lowed his head, and without giving her a chance tospeak, he kissed her lips forcefully and domineeringly.

"What are you doing?" Emily raised her arm in anger and slappedFranklin in the face.

After that, her chest heaved violently, and her whole body trembledslightly as if the slap had exhausted all her strength.

Franklin's face tilted slightly after being slapped. But his eyes grewdarker and he stared at her without saying a word.

Emily took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She lookedat Franklin coldly and asked, "What exactly do you want? Just tell meNo one has the time to speculate.”

"You forgot, we haven't divorced yet, so we're still legally husband andwife." Franklin finally spoke, but what he said really pissed Emily off."So are you here to divorce me? In that case, why kiss me in the firstplace? What do you treat me for, pig head?" Emily shouted angrily."You're still my wife before the divorce. It's reasonable for me to kissyou." Franklin said shamelessly and turned to lean against the car seat.Emily was livid. She really didn't expect Franklin to be so shameless forhe could take it for granted after doing something wrong.

"Okay, let's get a divorce now." Emily said angrily.

Franklin nodded.

Emily thought it would take time to go through divorce proceedings, soshe called James again and told James to go back with Joyce first.When she was done, she would go replace him.

"Emily, are you okay? Do you want me to come over?" James asked."No, just keep an eye on Bryce. It will be over soon. Don't worry." Emilycomforted him.

But how could James rest assured? He told her to call him if anythinghappened before hanging up.

After Emily finished the call, Franklin suddenly said coldly, "He caresabout you very much.”

Emily was stunned and did not react for a moment. But when sherealized it, she said angrily, "Of course, we are husband and wife. He is agood husband."

What she really meant was that Franklin was not a good husband whenthey were still a couple.

Franklin also understood it but did not refute it.

After a while, he said, "You have a child? How old is he?"

Emily's face changed and she muttered, "Three years old.”

Franklin lowered his eyes and said slowly, "That means you were withhim not long after you left."

Emily frowned and remained silent.

The car was already moving. Emily thought the driver was taking themto the Civil Affairs Bureau, so she didn't ask.

Franklin saw that she was silent, so he snorted and said slowly, "When Ijust woke up, I thought you would be by my side. But they told me thatyou had already left with Andrew. Even that car accident was part ofyour plan, so you'll be able to leave me."

"I didn't leave with Andrew, and I didn't intend to murder you." Emilyretorted.

Franklin did not respond to her argument and continued slowly, "Ididn't believe it either. I thought it was just my mother wanted toseparate us by saying so. So I secretly asked Lisa to replace you. As long asyou come back, as long as you come back to me, I would believewhatever you say. But no, you didn't come back. I haven't heard fromyou for four years, and you never appeared in Lancaster again. Instead,Andrew came once during my hospitalization and showed me the noteyou wrote to him."

Emily frowned and her heart ached. Looking at Franklin like this, shesuddenly felt very distressed. How much he expected her to appear atthat time.

"For the past four years, I've been making excuses for myself. You musthave left me for some reason. Maybe... You're not even alive anymore,and I don't dare to let anyone investigate you. I'm afraid of the results.But I didn't expect you to be alive and well, married and have children,and live a happy life."

"Franklin, it's not what you think. Actually, Bryce is..." Emily was eager toexplain, her heart pounding, and she was eager to tell him Bryce'sidentity.

But before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt a pain in herback neck, and then her eyes darkened and she fell into Franklin's arms.
