Hello, Mr. Brent -
Chapter 293
Emily fell asleep. Franklin put on his clothes and went downstairs. Lisawas still sitting on the sofa in a daze.
From the moment they went upstairs till now, she didn't even changeher posture.
"Tell me! What's going on?" Franklin sat across from Lisa with a coldface and asked.
Lisa was stunned and she looked at Franklin in a daze. When she cameback to her senses, she quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Brent, what...What's going on?"
"Do you still want to hide it from me?” Franklin's eyes turned cold andhe said in a deep voice, "There's a reason for crying for no reason.”
Lisa shuddered in fear and remembered her crying with Emily.
But how could she have the nerve to say such a thing? How could shehave the nerve to tell Franklin about all the things she had with Jason?Seeing that she was silent, Franklin asked in a deep voice again, "What?Can't you tell me?”
Lisa quickly shook her head and said embarrassedly, "It's not that I can'ttell you, Mr. Brent. It's... There's nothing worth saying. It's just sometrifles.”
"It doesn't matter. You know. Even if it is a trifle, I want to know itbecause I want to know everything that has anything to do with her.”Franklin looked at Lisa in a more comfortable position. It was as if hehad to hear it today no matter what.
Lisa swallowed her saliva and stammered for a while. Then, she told thewhole thing.
After saying that, Lisa lowered her head and she was so ashamed thatshe wished that she could replace a crack in the ground and get inside.Franklin, on the other hand, had been listening with a serious face. Hewas surprised after listening. He didn't expect a woman like Lisa to beso irrational. He also didn't expect that Jason could be jealous to suchan extent.
When he thought about what happened between him and Emily, hewondered whether they were also so ignorant and ridiculous.
Wasn't this "the spectators see the chess game better than theplayers"? Others saw clearly the crux of the problem but they couldn'teven notice it.
"Well, I see. It turns out to be this. Don't worry. I'll have a talk withJason. I'll also reprimand Matthew and ask him not to pester youanymore.” After a while, Franklin coughed softly and comforted Lisa.However, Lisa's attitude was not positive. She thanked Franklin andsaid, "Thank you, Mr. Brent. I hope it won't bother you. But I will solvethis myself. You don't have to worry about me. It's Miss Johnson... Ithought something happened to Miss Johnson at first, so I was in sucha hurry. Later, when I heard Miss Johnson say that she was okay and itwas just a misunderstanding. Since that's the case, you should coax her.After all, she's a woman, and women have to be coaxed.”
Franklin smiled and said, "Thank you for still caring about me. You don'thave to care about her anymore. You don't have to look at heranymore. Just do what you need to do! You're right. Women need to becoaxed. I'l tell Jason about that."
Lisa blushed. Why did he talk about Jason again?
But she didn't dare to talk with Franklin anymore and she left quickly.After Lisa left, Franklin sat on the sofa for a while. Then he called Jasonand talked a lot with Jason before he went upstairs.
Emily was still asleep. After all of these, she was tired a long time ago.Now, she closed her eyes tightly and fell into a deep sleep.
Franklin also lay on the bed. He lay on his side and looked at her. Fromtime to time, he reached out his fingers and gently rubbed her softcheeks.
But as he looked at her, he was thinking about Daniel.
He was not sure whether Aaron had finished the arrangements of BryanMiller. He also wondered what exactly the purpose of that Daniel was tokeep his son.
"Bryce, Bryce." Emily suddenly mumbled in her sleep with her eyesclosed. She frowned uneasily and turned over.
Franklin knew that she was missing the child. She knew where the childwas, but she couldn't see him. It would be strange if she didn't miss herchild.
He quickly pulled her into his arms, patted her on the shoulder gently,and said, "Bryce will be back soon. Don't worry."
Emily opened her eyes and looked at him in a daze. After looking athim for a while, her eyes suddenly turned red and her mouth puckeredup and she began to cry.
"Boohoo, honey, I dreamt that Bryce was beaten. He was so pitiful. Hedidn't have anything to eat or drink, and he was beaten.”
"No, Daniel won't hit him.” Franklin hugged her even tighter in his armsas his heart ached.
Emily sobbed and asked in a choked voice, "Then why does he keep ourson and not let him go? I don't even know him. What's the grudge?”"Emily, I went to see my cousin today and asked him to ask someonewho has a good relationship with Daniel to make some arrangementsso that I can meet Daniel.” Franklin thought about it and said to Emily.When Emily heard this, she immediately said excitedly, "I want to gowith you."
That was Franklin's idea. Franklin hadn't thought of it before. ButFranklin was really confused about Daniel since Daniel insisted thatBryce was his son. But Emily said that she had never seen Daniel. So ifEmily had never seen Daniel, why did Daniel insist that Bryce was hisson?
So although Franklin didn't want Emily to follow him at the beginning,he made the decision just now. He felt that it would be better to letEmily follow him and let her see if she knew Daniel. Or perhaps it wasDaniel who had mistaken the identity. Maybe only when the two ofthem met could the mystery be solved.
"What? Do you think I can't go with you? You don't want me to go?"Seeing that he was silent, Emily thought he didn't want her to followhim.
Franklin thought of something. He rubbed her hair and said, "I can'tbear to let you go. I don't know what Daniel is thinking. He wants tomake our son appropriate to himself. I'm afraid that he'll have someulterior motives to you when he sees you. It's okay to have a Andreweyeing you covetously, but I don't want to make any more enemies formyself."
"What are you talking about? I've never seen this Daniel before.Hearing what you said, I can tell that Daniel is also a man of honor. I'mnot a national beauty. How can he like me?" Emily said angrily uponhearing what he said.
But Franklin didn't say anything more and he just looked at her with hisdeep eyes.
Although he didn't say it, the meanings in his eyes were clear. That wasin his eyes, no woman was more beautiful than her.
Emily was so excited to be looked at by him like this. She liked Franklintoo! And she liked him very much. It would be strange if a womanwouldn't blush and have faster heartbeats when she was looked at bythe man she liked like this.
But she still wanted to see Daniel. That man was the one whoimprisoned her son. She had to meet him to replace out what was goingon.
"Just let me go! Okay?" Emily's heart made up her mind and began toact coquettishly by swinging Franklin's arms.
A look of surprise flashed across Franklin's eyes. It was not that Emilyhad never acted coquettishly to him. It was because that the two ofthem had been at loggerheads all this time, and it had been a long timesince he had enjoyed such treatment last time.
So, with a cold face, he lay flat and said, "No, I'm not afraid of thieves,but I'm afraid of their idea of stealing. He even likes my son, so not tomention my son's mother. If I take you to see him, I'll be the biggestfool in the world."
