Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 57

Emily was right. Franklin did meet Ivy.

When Ivy returned to the US, Harry naturally gave her a welcome. Aparty was held to welcome his favorite sister back.

Franklin, as Harry's good friend and Ivy's crush, was naturally the first tobe invited.

In fact, he didn't want to participate. He knew Ivy's feelings for him, sohow could he dare to participate? If it was another woman, he wouldteach her a lesson, but it was Ivy. He had seen this little sister growingup since she was a child. And she was also Harry's sister. So he couldnot treat her as indifferently as how he treated other women.However, he didn't expect that Ivy would personally come to deliver theinvitation.

After a year, Ivy was even more beautiful than before. She had abeautiful face and was young. The youthful beauty of her body wouldmake every man not dare to look straight at her. No man would not likesuch a beautiful and young girl. Jason brought her in and did not dareto look at her face on the way.

Franklin was also a little surprised that Ivy had changed a lot after ayear.

But soon he said calmly, "Your brother must be very happy that you'reback. He keeps nagging at me about when you will be back."

"My brother misses me, but don’t you miss me, Franklin?" Ivy smiledcharmingly.

Franklin smiled and said, "Of course, but it's not as much as yourbrother. Please be with him if you have time. He's very lonely."

"Then how about you, Franklin?"

"I'm not alone. Your brother should have told you that I have beenmarried."

"You didn't give your wedding invitation or hold a wedding ceremony.How could you say that you are married?" Ivy raised her eyebrows.Franklin said, "Marriage is a matter of two people. The ostensibleetiquette is just done for others. As long as the two of us are satisfied, Idon't think there's anything wrong with it."

"But you are different. You are the president of The Brent Group,Franklin." Ivy argued.

Franklin smiled and said, "But I'm also an ordinary man.”

"You are not ordinary, Franklin.” Ivy seemed unable to accept his self-deprecation.

Franklin said, "Is there anything wrong with you, Ivy? If you don't haveother problems, please go back! I still have work to do. I'll visit youwhen I'm free."

"Are you trying to chase me away, Franklin? I come here specially tosend an invitation to you." Ivy took out the invitation.

Franklin held his forehead. Harry had called him about it before. Herefused on the grounds that he didn't like the boisterousness and saidthat he would invite Ivy to dinner alone as a welcome when he hadtime.

But he didn't expect that Ivy came to deliver the invitation herself.

"Ivy, I have dinner tonight,” Franklin said evasively.

lvy pouted and said, "If you really want to go to the party, you are ableto push any social engagements away. Besides, considering youridentity, who dare to force you to go to social engagements? It is up toyou. By the way, I went to France a while ago and met sister Avery.Sister Avery asked me to bring a present for you. You would want it,wouldn't you, Franklin?"

Franklin was surprised that Ivy would be so cunning after a year. Sheused Avery as a pretext.

At this point, it would be impossible to say no.

He had to nod and promise her that he would be there tonight.

A flash of gloom flashed through Ivy's eyes, but she quickly cheered upand left happily.

Franklin personally called home. Knowing that Anthony and his wifehad gone, he coldly reprimanded, "Don’t let them come home in thefuture.”

The butler quickly agreed.

After saying that, Franklin told the butler that he would not come backfor dinner tonight and let him convey this to Emily.

After work, Franklin asked Jason to send him there. He had let Jasonpick out the gift before and brought it with him.

Jason thought of Ivy's changes and asked with some uncertainty, "I'mnot sure if Miss Carter would like this necklace or not. Is it too vulgar?”"You can ask her what she likes before you choose next time," Franklinsaid.

Jason smiled awkwardly and said quickly, "How dare 1? This will let herknow that this thing is not bought by you. And she will kill me.”

"Then why are you worried?" Franklin said coldly.

Jason thought so. Ivy adored Franklin. She would like everything evenan iron chain, not to mention a tacky necklace. So he was really worriedabout nothing.

The car soon arrived at the Carter villa, the same place as before.Franklin got out of the car and took the gift that Jason had bought. Ivyknew he was coming, so she greeted him at the door early.

Franklin hugged her and gave her the present, "Our little princess,welcome back."

"Franklin, thank you. I like it very much.” Ivy held the gift box and saidcoyly without even looking at it.

Harry walked over and said sadly, "I have prepared so many gifts foryou, but you don't say you like them at all. He just gives you a piece ofjewelry. And you say you like it without even looking at it. You really sayturkey to one and buzzard to another.”

"Brother, you two are different.” Ivy stamped her foot shyly and leftwith the present.

When she reappeared, she was wearing the necklace that Franklin hadgiven her. Franklin took a look. It was really vulgar and totallyincompatible with her, but she was wearing it happily.

"lvy really likes you," Harry said.

"But I really regard her as my sister, more so than you," Franklin said.Harry smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "When it comes to somethinglike feelings, if you don't love it, you don't love it. You can't evendisguise it. Is that true?”

"I heard that Ivy had met Avery," Franklin asked

Harry raised his eyebrows, "Are you coming here for this?"

"Part of." Franklin was generous enough to admit it.

Harry sighed again, feeling that his sister was not worth it. He tookFranklin upstairs and gave Avery's present to him.

Franklin looked at it and smiled, "I guess she gives you the same thing.”Harry nodded and said, "Yes, this is my happiest thing today."

Franklin smiled and shook his head. The party was very lively. He invitedall of Ivy's former friends from Lancaster, but it was too noisy. Franklinwas dragged by Ivy to dance together. And the noise didn't end until 1am.

Franklin was drunk, and Ivy quickly helped him up and said eagerly,"Franklin, you can stay at our house tonight to rest! I'll take care ofyou."

"No, I want to go home," Franklin said in a clear voice but his face wasflushed.

Ivy shook her head discontentedly, "Why do you want to go home? Youhave rested here before."

"Emily is waiting for me at home,” Franklin said firmly, asking Jason tohelp him leave.

Ivy looked at his back and a layer of water filled in her eyes. The wayshe wanted to cry but she rejected was heartbreaking

Harry sighed and put his arm around her shoulder, "He doesn't like you.Why do you hurt yourself?"

"Brother, I want to meet Emily and see what she really looks like. Howcould she make Franklin do this?" Ivy said quietly.
