Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 236

Franklin didn't participate in the divorce lawsuit. Emily and her mothercame out, and the driver waited at the door in his car.

First, she and her mother thanked Mr. Smith, then her old classmate,and then she helped her mother into the car.

She didn't expect that Franklin, who didn't come, would be in the car.Emily was shocked, and Abigail was even more shocked.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say you were busy today?" Emily asked.Franklin said indifferently, "After everything was settled, I decided totake a look. How's it going? Are you satisfied with the result?"

Emily nodded, her eyes shining, and she said happily, "Yes, of course,I'm very satisfied. I really didn't expect Mr. Smith to be so good. It'sreally unexpected. You didn't even see how bad that scum Hunterlooked when he came out. It was so gratifying.”

Franklin looked at her happy face and couldn't help but smile.

Abigail sat awkwardly by the side. It didn't matter if Franklin was stillher son-in-law. But the thing was that they were divorced, and Franklinhad a fiancee. It made her feel very uncomfortable that they were likethis.

But it was hard for her to point it out in front of Franklin. Emily was justgrateful to Mr. Smith and didn't think about that.

But she knew that it would not have gone so smoothly without Franklin.Even if they had the ability to hire Mr. Smith, they still had to rely onFranklin for the evidence and other matters.

So she just sat there without saying a word and watched her daughterbeing silly.

Emily asked the driver to send them to the hotel first, and her motherwas still staying at the hotel for the time being.

Although the house was taken back, Abigail did not intend to go backto live in it. It was a sad place, and it would only add to her sadness ifshe returned.

"Why don't you sell that house? Then you can get a down payment andbuy one somewhere else.” Emily suggested.

Abigail nodded and said, "Well, that's a good idea. I have thoughtabout that."

"I do have a house available. If auntie doesn't mind, you can stay therefor a while. You can always move out there if you replace a better choice inthe future. It takes time to buy a house.” Franklin said.

Abigail said awkwardly, "Mr. Brent, you're so thoughtful. Thank you foryour kindness. But... I'll have to discuss this with Emily. You're a busyman, and I don't dare to delay you for too long. Don’t mind me if youhave something to attend to!"

Franklin chuckled, for it was obvious that she was driving him away!Emily also noticed it and looked at Franklin uneasily, afraid that hewould lose his temper.

She wouldn't worry about it in the past. But ever since he came back,Franklin's temper had changed. If he lost his temper and saidsomething bad to his mother, what would she do then?

Fortunately, Franklin only nodded after chuckling and then really left.Emily secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not lose histemper.

Abigail looked at her with mixed feelings and said quietly, "Emily,what's going on between you and him?"

Emily pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, "Mom, I didn't want to tellyou about this. But now that you mentioned it, I'll explain. I'm only byhis side for the time being. But he won't let me go, I have no choice. Iwas worried about what you would do if I left. After all, you still haveHunter. If Hunter doesn't leave, you definitely can't leave. If Franklincan't replace me, he will definitely come after you. Now that you divorceHunter, I'm relieved. Take this opportunity. Sell that house and livesomewhere else! Find out where do you want to go. Take a look firstand then settle down, far from Lancaster.”

"Do you mean I should leave Lancaster and hide somewhere else?"Abigail said in surprise.

Emily pursed her lips and nodded in pain.

"Mom, I'm sorry. Not only did I not let you live a comfortable life, butyou'll have to leave Lancaster and live somewhere else. It's all my fault.”"Silly girl, what are you talking about? Are you going to replace a chance tosecretly run away from Franklin in the future?" Abigail asked again.Emily nodded.

Abigail moved her lips and finally sighed. After a while, she said, "Iunderstand. Don't worry. I'll sell the house soon. Then I'll take themoney and go somewhere else. You don't have to worry about me. I'lllet you know when I settle down. If you need a place in the future, youcan still look for me there. I didn't expect that we would end up in thesame way. We have to hide... And have to leave home.”

"Mom, are you trying to avoid my biological father?" Emily asked insurprise.

Abigail nodded and couldn't help but shed tears.

Emily could not help but sigh. In the past, she always wondered whyher mother left her biological father. After all, they were husband andwife, and they had children. Why couldn't they figure things out?

But now she understood that there were too many problems thatcouldn't be solved. Empathy and love weren't the solutions toeverything.

Some things were like a dead knot. If they couldn't be undone, the onlything you could do was to escape.

"Don't be sad. It's my fault for letting you run away for me twice in yourlife.” Emily hugged her mother's shoulder again.

Abigail patted her on the back to comfort her, but Abigail couldn't helpbut feel sad herself.

However, Abigail was very experienced in doing this. At that time, shewas pregnant with Emily, and she still had a lot to worry about. But nowit was different. There was nothing to be concerned about. So withEmily's help, she quickly sold the house and got the money. Then shedecided where she wanted to go and took the money with her.

The day before she left, Abigail asked Emily to bring Bryce to her.Looking at Bryce's small face, Abigail could not help but sigh again. Shetouched his small face and said, "Bryce, you must listen to your mother.Grandma has to leave now. When you and mom have time, you cancome and visit grandma together.”

Bryce already knew that she was his mother's mother. Although hedidn't feel close to her, he still nodded obediently.

Abigail could not help but feel awkward when she saw such a smilingface, which was so cute, instead of that devilish look. Awkwardly, shesaid, "That's great. What a good child. Grandma will miss you when sheis away."

After that, she did not dare to look at Bryce again and turned to herdaughter, Emily.

Emily had always felt that her mother's attitude towards her son wasstrange, but she couldn't tell.

However, she didn't think much about it. After a few words with hermother, she was relieved after seeing her getting into the car.

After the car left, she led Bryce away.

But when she walked out of the station, she always felt that someonewas following her. When she stopped and turned around, thatsomeone would disappear again.

Emily frowned uneasily.

Bryce held her hand and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Emily shook her head, afraid that her son would be afraid, so she smiledand said, "It's okay. Let's go to aunty's house.”
