Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 292

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look, you've also been misunderstood, haven't you? You'vealso tasted the bitterness of having to swallow your pain!" Emily camedownstairs, gloating.

Lisa almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She really didn't expect Emilyto gloat at this time.

She was so angry that her eyes turned red and tears fell out.

Emily was totally stunned

Having known Lisa for so long, could she not know Lisa's character?She was stubborn and domineering, even stronger than a man. Nowthat she suddenly burst out of tears, Emily panicked.

"Hey, hey, don't cry! I was just babbling. Are you that vulnerable?Besides, don't you blame me. You've been mocking me all day, haven'tyou? Have I cried?" Emily said hurriedly.

Lisa wiped her tears while crying, "Of course you are not in the samesituation as me. Mr. Brent is such a nice and outstanding person. Whyshouldn't you curry favor with him? If you don't treat Mr. Brent well,you just don't love him. Jason has always been spoiling me. Now he'sangry with me for such a small matter. He doesn't love me at all.”Emily, ".."

She twitched her lips and looked at Lisa speechlessly.

After a long time, she said, "Is it possible that Franklin has the sameidea as you that he is so nice and outstanding that I should care abouthim and fawn on him, or else I just don't love him?"

"What do you know? You don't know anything at all." Lisa covered herface and cried again.

Emily really couldn't figure out Lisa's strange idea. Of course, if it wasFranklin's idea, she would be even angrier.

Although she was not very outstanding or very beautiful, nor was sheborn into a prominent family, she was also a dignified person. Shedidn't ask Franklin to be with her. Why should she fawn on him?However, seeing how sadly Lisa was crying, she didn't argue with herabout it.

Instead, she pulled her to sit down, handed her a few tissues, and said,"Okay, now don't cry. Do you know how scary it is for you to cry givenyour personality? Jason didn't say anything bad. He was just angry. Youand Matthew have such an ambiguous relationship, and he doesn'teven have the right to be angry?”

"What do you mean by an ambiguous relationship? What's wrong withhim and me? That man has been pestering me. Did I respond? But whatabout him? He's angry with me without asking the truth. Who does hethink he is?" Lisa grabbed the tissues and wiped her tears while crying.Emily curled her lips and said quietly after a long time, "I don't thinkJason was angry with Matthew for pestering you, but for the fact thatyou didn't tell him about it, or you didn't handle it well enough to makeMatthew give up on you."

On hearing this, Lisa threw the tissues into the trash can and said, "Youhave the cheek to say that to me? Isn't Mr. Brent angry because of yourdeception?”

"I had a reason. I have an unspeakable secret,” Emily arguedimmediately.

Lisa snorted coldly, "Don't I have an unspeakable secret? I've been sobusy all day that I can't even have a few words with him. I'd like toconfess, but I have to have time! Did he give me time before he getsangry?"

"I..." Emily wanted to persuade her, but she somehow approved of herlogic.

But after a while, Lisa said, "At first, I thought that Mr. Brent was angrywith you because you were assaulted by that guy. I was angry too andkept blaming myself for not protecting you well. I didn't expect it to bea misunderstanding. But Mr. Brent has gone too far. You're back safeand sound, so why does he have to act like that?"

This was the first time in so long that Lisa had said such a thoughtfulthing. Emily was stunned.

"A Friend in need is a friend indeed.” Emily thought this was it.

When she heard Lisa say that as she felt wronged, her eyes turned redand tears began to fall down.

When Emily cried, Lisa also thought of her grievances. So the twowomen hugged each other and cried. The more they cried, the sadderthey were. When Franklin came back, what he saw was two womenhugging each other and crying.

Franklin, "..."

"What's going on?" Franklin stretched out his arms and carried Emilyupstairs.

He went upstairs and found a wet towel to wipe her face, and thenasked again with a grim face.

Emily was still angry with him. She turned her head, twitched hermouth, and said, "Nothing. Even if there is really something going on,it's none of your business.”

Franklin looked at her red eyes and felt heartbroken. He pinched herchin angrily, forcing her to look at him, and said, "Why is it none of mybusiness? You're my wife. Of course, it has something to do with me ifyou cry. Tell me what happened. If you don't say it, I'll be angry.”"Hmph, go get angry then! Men are all bullshit. You're all so arrogant.Franklin, do you think that you're better than me in every aspect, so Ishould just suck up to you and stick to you? I'm telling you, dream on! Ialso have dignity and self-esteem. You were the one who schemed tomarry me, not me begging you to do this."

Emily asserted eloquently and stubbornly raised her chin. Her red andswollen eyes added a little charm to her. She herself did not know howcharming she looked.

Franklin laughed in anger. Suddenly, he turned over and pinned herdown. He gently stroked the corner of her eyes with his fingers andsaid, "Yes, it is I who schemed to make you marry me. I didn't ask you tofawn on me and beg me. I just told you to be obedient. But you werealways disobedient. What should I do with you?"

"Why should I be obedient? I'm not your daughter.” Emily retortedangrily.

Franklin chuckled again and kissed her on the corner of her mouth."You can't be my daughter. I'm not that old either. But if you want tobe, I can spoil you and call you baby."

When Franklin uttered the word "baby," his voice was extremely lowand sweet. And since it came out of Franklin's mouth, it sounded a littlemischievous.

Emily didn't know why, but when she heard that voice, her hearttrembled and her face turned red as if it were bleeding.

She had wanted to argue with Franklin, but now she couldn't say aword as if her throat was stuffed with cotton

Franklin had long been moved by her bashful look and could not helpbut lower his head and kiss her lips.
