Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 58

Lying down, Emily suddenly heard a noise from the door. Then it wasfollowed by the sound of the door opening and a man came in.

Her eyes popped open. She had no desire to sleep with her eyes bright,without drowsy.

"You're so late. You went too far this time.” Emily suddenly turned onthe light and saw that it was indeed 2 a.m. in the morning.

Franklin was startled by her. He had come into the room on tiptoe, andhe straightened himself up as soon as the light came on.

"Why are you still awake?" Franklin frowned. She smelled the reek ofalcohol and saw an unusual flush spread over his cheeks.

Emily snorted, "1 would like to ask you what time it is now. Why are youso late?"

"So are you dissatisfied that I came back too late?" Franklin raised hiseyebrows.

Emily yelled instantly, "Who's dissatisfied that you came back too late? Ijust think you're disturbing my sleep by coming back so late.”

"It's so late and you haven't slept yet. I don't think you want to sleep atall." Franklin said as he walked into the bathroom. He felt dizzy andwanted to take a shower and go to bed immediately.

Emily stared at him angrily until he entered the bathroom.

Later, Franklin lay down next to her. He closed his eyes, stroked herface, and asked, "Did you feel better today? Does it still hurt?"

Emily had wanted to throw a tantrum to him and ask if he had beenwith Ivy. But when he said that, her anger vanished immediately. Thenshe thought who she was to get angry. She didn't have the right to doso!

She had no choice but to listlessly say, "It doesn't hurt anymore."Franklin said no more. Before long, the sound of steady breathing camethrough. He had already fallen asleep.

Emily suddenly felt bored.

She slept too much during the day and couldn't fall asleep at night.But she could not move her leg, and it was difficult for her to turn over.She could only feel sad for a while and then closed her eyes.

When she woke up the next day.

Emily was so scared that she opened her eyes at once. As a result, shesaw Franklin's head pressing against her face. His black hair kepttickling her cheek.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Emily was horrified.

Anyone who saw a person so close to him the moment he opened hiseyes would be horrified

"Are you awake?" Franklin smiled and reached out to stroke her othercheek.

That side of the cheek was injured, but it was just some bruises. Afterthe ointment was applied to them, they began to scab. The scabs felloff in only two or three days, and more pale and tender skin wasrevealed.

Fortunately, she was naturally fair, so one couldn't make it out withoutlooking carefully. Otherwise, even if her face was not disfigured, itwould look ugly.

But that little bit of skin was so tender that Franklin couldn't move hisfingers away from it.

Emily was tickled by his touching and turned away immediately tododge his fingers, "What time is it? Why haven't you gone to work?""No rush. I came back too late yesterday and I'll take some time off athome this morning.”

"Did you meet Ivy?" Emily snorted and asked.

Franklin stared at her in surprise, "How did you know that?"

Emily grunted, "Of course I did. I learned it from the news that MissCarter was back. You must have gone to meet her since you came backso late."

"I didn't want to go.” Franklin explained, "But she said she had comeacross Avery. Avery had brought me something, so I went over to havea look."

Emily: ".."

Looking at him in a huff, she became even angrier. So it wasn't for Ivy,but for that Avery!

Yes, Avery. Mrs. Brent had mentioned this woman's name to her once.She didn't expect that she would memorize it so well

"Get away. I need to get up.” Emily said in a rage.

Franklin didn't know she was angry. He hugged her and said, "Let metake a few more minutes. I went to bed too late last night.”

"Humph, you were too excited to fall asleep! But when you couldn't fallasleep, I was sleeping so well. I need to get up. I still have businesses toattend to." As she spoke, she forced his arm away.

However, when Emily had a strong personality, she also had a strongwill to get up. But her body did not allow her to do anything shewanted. Since she could not move one leg, she had to rely on others.Emily rang the bell to ask the servant to come up, but Franklindismissed her.

"Let me help you!" Franklin said.

Emily burned up immediately, "I don't need your help.”

Franklin was startled by her shrill voice and looked at her, frowning,"What's wrong with you? You're pissed.”

It was not a question, but a statement.

Emily sneered, "How exactly did you see that I'm pissed? I just don'twant your help.”

"You're my wife, and it's my duty to help you," Franklin said decisively.Emily was furious with him.

She was wondering if Franklin had some fetish. Otherwise, why was heso keen on taking care of her. He was even obsessed.

Could it be because he had been abused when he was little so that hehad some psychological illness? Emily thought to herself.

But no matter what, it was time to go downstairs for breakfast.

During breakfast, the butler came over again and whispered somethingin Franklin's ear.

Franklin snorted, "Just chase them away. Are all security guards at homeuseless?”

"Yes." The butler nodded immediately.

Emily was sitting opposite Franklin. She frowned slightly after hearingtheir conversation and guessed, "Did Anthony and others come again?”He had been driven away by her yesterday. Although he had swornloudly when he had left, Anthony was realistic. If there was somethingwrong with his work, he would be more anxious than anyone else. Itwas not impossible for him to come for her again.

"I heard you met them yesterday," Franklin said flatly.

Emily nodded and looked at Franklin curiously, "Was it really you whodid it?"

"What? You're not happy with it?"

"No, I just think... Why are you so kind to me, just because I'm yourwife?" Emily asked in a low voice.

Franklin snorted, "Isn't that enough? What else do you want?"

"I don't want anything else.” Emily shook her head quickly.

But meanwhile, she was a little disappointed. If he hadn't met her thatday, if he had met someone else that day, now, he must be so kind tothat woman as well!

The reason Franklin was so kind to her was not that she was Emily, butonly because she was his wife.
