Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 267

Emily stood on the deck and looked at the sea and the skyline.

They had been on the ship for three days, so they had worn all five setsof clothes over the past three days. They were occupied with socialengagements as well as drinking. Finally, they were not as busy asbefore.

However, she was the only one who got more free time. Franklin stillhad dinner every day and one day he drank until dawn. No oneexpected a cold-blooded person like Franklin would be so willing toentertain others, which made his brothers and nephews even moreexcited. Therefore, the people persuaded him to drink and fool aroundwith them.

It was evening, but the cheers on the first floor could still be heard.Emily smiled and wrapped her clothes tightly. Until now, she still feltlike she was dreaming. She didn't expect her to marry Franklin againhurriedly. What surprised her most was not getting married, but thewedding. After all, it was only now that she knew that the previous so-called divorce was a cover given to her by Franklin. They had neverreally gone through the divorce procedures.

“It's cold. You're supposed to wear more clothes.” Suddenly, a warmcoat was draped over her.

Emily was stunned and immediately turned around. She thought it wasFranklin, but it was Lucas.

"It's you." Obviously, Emily was disappointed.

Lucas smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think it's my Youngest Uncle?He can't walk away as he's still being dragged and drunk by them. Inthe past, my Youngest Uncle was cold and elegant, which was out ofour reach. Now that he’s suddenly down to earth, everyone naturallyhas to pull him to drink two more glasses. But today is the third day,and tomorrow such circumstances won't continue. This is also the ruleset by my Youngest Uncle. Tomorrow, everyone should go back afterhaving fun.”

"Yes, I know. I understand him. On such a happy day, of course, weshould have a good time.” Emily thought Lucas was worried that shewould be angry, so she immediately said generously.

Lucas said, "It's good that you're not angry. In fact, I was reallysurprised. I didn't expect you and Youngest Uncle... You... How can I putit? I really didn't expect you to come to this stage. I really didn't expectYoungest Uncle to be so affectionate to you."

Emily smiled awkwardly.

The days when she and Lucas were in love were like a lifetime apart.She had never thought that she would walk to this day with Franklin."By the way, how are you now?" Emily asked.

She had never seen Lucas since she came back, so she didn't knowwhat he was doing.

Lucas said truthfully, "Not bad. The company is running normally.Anyway, it's getting better and better. In the past, we Wright Family hadto rely on the The Brent Group to maintain our business. Now, evenwithout the help of the The Brent Group, we can still live as usual. Ofcourse, this is the opportunity that my Youngest Uncle gave us, and myparents and I are grateful.”

"Are you okay now?" Emily asked again.

Lucas smiled and said, "My son is four years old, and I have a daughterwho is only two years old. She's really cute at this age. But they're stilltoo young. They just caught a cold these two days, so I didn't bringthem out. When they get better, I'll take them to your house to visit youand Youngest Uncle.”

"It's great to have both son and daughter.” Emily sighed.

Thinking of her son Bryce again, she couldn't help but feeluncomfortable.

Although she had a deeper relationship with Franklin now, thedisappearance of her son was still a knot in her heart, and also a knot inFranklin's. They two acted well now, which was completely controlledby their reason. She did not know when they will have emotionaloutbreaks.

"I've heard about you. A lucky man has his own destiny. Your child willbe fine." Lucas comforted her again.

Emily said “Thank you."

No matter what, she was grateful to Lucas for his comfort.

"By the way, have you seen Anthony now?" Lucas asked again.

Emily was stunned. When she heard the name again, she shook herhead subconsciously and said, "I haven't seen him. I haven't seen himfor a long time.”

"Well, if you have time, please go and see him! He had a stroke andhasn't recovered since he was rescued. He's still in the rehabilitationhospital.”

"Ah, how could this be?" Emily was surprised.

Anthony had always been in good health. How could he suddenly havea stroke?

"Oh, he was too exasperated by Iris and her mother.” Lucas sneeredand gloated.

"Isn't Iris... Crazy already?" Emily still felt a lingering fear when shethought of the last time she saw Iris.

"Well, it seems that when Andrew meet her, she will become fine. Lateron, Andrew ruthlessly tricked Anthony, almost ruining Emily's family.Then Andrew left with his mother. Therefore, Anthony's blood pressurerose as he got angry, and his brain was congested. In the end, hesuffered a stroke. After the stroke, Iris still had a conscience. She gavethe hospital a sum of money and kept Anthony there. But no one caredabout him, so his life was not much better. I also overheard a friendtalking about that because I was married to Iris before. You... Althoughhe is not your biological father, he has lived as your father for so manyyears. If you have time, you should go and see him!"

"Maybe!" Emily muttered.

It wasn't that she didn't want to be a good person, but sometimes shecouldn't be a good person. She was a soft-hearted woman. If she reallysaw Anthony's miserable and pitiful ending, if she couldn't help butcare about him, she would seek trouble for herself.

So she preferred to decide afterwards! At most, it would be nice to havesomeone deliver something and tell the hospital to take good care ofAnthony.

But when Emily heard Lucas mention Andrew, she gritted her teeth andquickly asked, "Do you know where Andrew is now? It seems that he'snot in Lancaster anymore.”

"Yes, you're right. I heard..."

"You are here!" Suddenly, Franklin came out of the room and shoutedat them.

When Lucas heard Franklin's voice, he was immediately stunned. Hequickly took two steps back and kept a distance from Emily, "YoungestUncle, you're out too. I came out to blow the wind, but I didn't expectto meet her. Take your time. I'll go in, or those guys will look for meagain.”

After that, he quickly turned around and left.

Franklin walked over and frowned at Emily's clothes.

Emily immediately understood and quickly took off her coat and said, "Iwas a little cold just now, so Lucas gave me his clothes. I'll give themback to him later. He was being kind."

“I'm not angry." Franklin said.

After that, he put his hands on the railing and seemed a littleintoxicated in the sea breeze.

Emily looked at him in surprise. She thought he would be angry, so shedidn't expect him to say that.
