Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 38

"You... You two?"

"As you can see, we are dating, and I have planned to marry her. I cameto pick her up to get a marriage certificate today. So you shouldaddress her as aunt when you see her later.”

Franklin let Emily go, ignoring Emily's blushed face and red ears, andspoke directly to Lucas.

Lucas’ face turned pale. He staggered back two steps and almost felldown.

He had doubted that before, but he never expected it to be true."How is that possible, uncle? How can you like..."

"How is that impossible? By the way, why are you here? Shouldn't yoube working? No wonder the Wright Group remains on a downswing.You and your father had better write a report to explain why. If you arenot qualified for this job, I don't mind making you stay at home."Franklin scolded.

Lucas’ face turned white. He quickly bent down, apologized to Franklin,got in the car, and left.

Emily regained her senses and quickly reached out to wipe her lips. Shelooked around again. Fortunately, no one was watching.

"Why are you here?" Emily asked in surprise.

Franklin scolded, "If I didn't come, do you plan to get back with him?""Of course not. I kept rejecting him just now.” Emily immediately raisedher hand and swore.

Franklin curled his lips, reached out, and caressed her hair, "You lovelyidiot."

If he hadn't seen Emily firmly rejecting Lucas, Lucas wouldn't have beensafe and left like that, and Emily wouldn't have been standing up andtalking to him.

Emily hurriedly smoothed her messy hair. This man was so annoying.He either stroked her hair or pinched her face. Did he have a fetish orsomething?

"You haven't told me why you're here?"

"Didn't I tell you last night? To apply for the marriage certificate.”Franklin answered.

"What?" Emily was surprised, "Are you serious?"

"Why not? Are you trying to go back on your word?" Franklin titled hishead and looked at her coldly.

His eyes seemed to warn her that if she dared to go back on her word,he would make things difficult for her definitely.

Emily immediately shook her head, "No, I am not. It's just... I am notprepared at all.”

"Just get your ID card ready." Franklin snorted coldly.

Emily immediately opened her purse and took out her ID card.

"I always have my ID card with me."

"That's good. Let's go to the registry!" Franklin snatched the ID cardfrom her hand and glanced at it. He curled his lips and thought, "Thephoto on the card was so ugly.”

"But have you really made up your mind?" Emily asked him again aftergetting in the car.

Franklin turned to look at her and sneered, “I have made the decision,but have you?"

Emily didn't know how to respond. It was not that she couldn't make upher mind. She just wasn't prepared.

Seeing being quiet, Franklin thought his guess was right. His faceturned grim. He said coldly, "If you really don't want to marry me, Iwon't force you. Jason, stop the car and send her back.”

"No, I didn't mean that,” Emily said anxiously.

Franklin looked at her coldly.

Emily pursed her lips and said, "I just thought it was too sudden and wegot married for no reason. Besides... my mom has never seen you. I amjust feeling scared.”

"After getting the marriage certificate, I'll go with you to the hospital tovisit your mother.” Franklin softened his tone when he heard her saythat.

He reached out, took her into his arms, and put her head on hisshoulder.

Emily shook. The aura of Franklin was so strong. A month ago, theywere complete strangers from different worlds, but now, they weregetting married. Life is really interesting.

Things were hard to predict. It was only now that she understood themeaning of this sentence.

An hour later, the two of them came out of the Marriage Registry.Emily caressed the marriage certificate and still felt unreal. In the photo,they were leaning together and smiling. At first glance, they lookedquite suited for each other.

"Well, it's a good picture, much better than the one on your ID card,"Franklin said with satisfaction.

As he spoke, he took the marriage certificate from Emily and put it inhis pocket.

"Hey, that's mine," said Emily.

Franklin said, "It's mine now. I'll keep it so you won't get it lost.”

"How will I lose it? I need this to get the birth certificate.”

"I'l get someone to do it for you. Now we should go to the hospital tovisit your mother. Then I'll send you to work. Pack up anything youneed after work so Jason can take them home in the evening.”"Home? Whose home?" Emily was confused.

"Of course ours. You've married me. Do you still want us to liveseparately?" Franklin said unhappily.

Emily was embarrassed. She really didn't think about it. She didn'texpect she would live under the roof with Franklin

"You have never thought about living with me after we get married,have you?" Franklin asked, his eyes narrowed.

Emily quickly shook her head, "How is that possible? Of course, I havethought about it."

If she admitted it, Franklin would really get mad at her.

"Good." Franklin curled his lips in satisfaction and pinched her cheeksagain.

It hurt. No, she had to discuss it with him in the future. She had to tellhim to get rid of this bad habit. Otherwise, if he went on like this, hercheek would get hurt.

Abigail had just finished the porridge. When she was about to sleep,Emily pushed the door open and came in.

When she saw Emily coming, Abigail immediately smiled with joy."Emily, you're here."

"Mom." Emily walked over and held her mother's hand.

Abigail asked her daughter to help her up. After lying in the hospitalbed for more than ten years, she could no longer control her limbs asshe had in the past. Now, like a child, she needed to learn everything."Why didn't you go to work today and come to see me?" Abigail askedwith concern.

Emily looked at Franklin and said shyly to Abigail, "Mom, I am here tointroduce someone to you."

Abigail immediately understood what Emily meant and could not helpbut look at Franklin a few more times. She found that the young manwas really good-looking, but looked a little cold and difficult to getalong well with. And he exuded an air of power from his face, whichmade him look remarkable. He made her think... of that person."Hello, mom. I'm Franklin.” Franklin greeted with a smile.

Abigail was stunned and looked at Emily instantly.

Emily glared at Franklin. Why was he doing that? Calling her “mom’ atfirst sight? Did he want to scare her mother to death?

"Well, I'm married to him..." Emily explained awkwardly.

Abigail's face changed and she looked at Emily with a frown. Shewanted to say something but hesitated.

After a while, she whispered to Emily, “Emily, ask...ask Mr. Brent to goout for a second. I want to talk to you alone."
