Chapter 293
Emily fell asleep. Franklin put on his clothes and went downstairs. Lisa was still sitting on the sofa in a
daze.
From the moment they went upstairs till now, she didn't even change her posture.
"Tell me! What's going on?" Franklin sat across from Lisa with a cold face and asked.
Lisa was stunned and she looked at Franklin in a daze. When she came back 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 and he 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 she have 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't tell you, Mr. Brent. It's...
There's nothing worth saying. It's just some trifles."
"It doesn't matter. You know. Even if it is a trifle, I want to know it because 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 he
had to hear it today no matter what.
Lisa swallowed her saliva and stammered for a while. Then, she told the whole thing.
After saying that, Lisa lowered her head and she was so ashamed that she wished that she could find a
crack in the ground and get inside.
Franklin, on the other hand, had been listening with a serious face. He was surprised after listening. He
didn't expect a woman like Lisa to be so irrational. He also didn't expect that Jason could be jealous to
such an extent.
When he thought about what happened between him and Emily, he wondered whether they were also
so ignorant and ridiculous.
Wasn't this ''the spectators see the chess game better than the players''? Others saw clearly the crux of
the problem but they couldn't even notice it.
"Well, I see. It turns out to be this. Don't worry. I'll have a talk with Jason. I'll also reprimand Matthew
and ask him not to pester you anymore." After a while, Franklin coughed softly and comforted Lisa.
However, Lisa's attitude was not positive. She thanked Franklin and said, "Thank you, Mr. Brent. I hope
it won't bother you. But I will solve this myself. You don't have to worry about me. It's Miss Johnson... I
thought something happened to Miss Johnson at first, so I was in such a hurry. Later, when I heard
Miss Johnson say that she was okay and it was 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't have to care about her
anymore. You don't have to look at her anymore. Just do what you need to do! You're right. Women
need to be coaxed. I'll 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 Jason and 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. From time to time, he reached out
his fingers and gently rubbed her soft cheeks.
But as he looked at her, he was thinking about Daniel.
He was not sure whether Aaron had finished the arrangements of Bryan Miller. He also wondered what
exactly the purpose of that Daniel was to keep his son.
"Bryce, Bryce." Emily suddenly mumbled in her sleep with her eyes closed. She frowned uneasily and
turned over.
Franklin knew that she was missing the child. She knew where the child was, but she couldn't see him.
It would be strange if she didn't miss her child.
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 at him for a while, her eyes suddenly
turned red and her mouth puckered up and she began to cry.
"Boohoo, honey, I dreamt that Bryce was beaten. He was so pitiful. He didn't have anything to eat or
drink, and he was beaten."
"No, Daniel won't hit him." Franklin hugged her even tighter in his arms as his heart ached.
Emily sobbed and asked in a choked voice, "Then why does he keep our son 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 someone who has a good relationship with
Daniel to make some arrangements so that I can meet Daniel." Franklin thought about it and said to
Emily.
When Emily heard this, she immediately said excitedly, "I want to go with you."
That was Franklin's idea. Franklin hadn't thought of it before. But Franklin was really confused about
Daniel since Daniel insisted that Bryce was his son. But Emily said that she had never seen Daniel. So
if Emily had never seen Daniel, why did Daniel insist that Bryce was his son?
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 let Emily follow him and let her see if she knew Daniel. Or perhaps it
was Daniel who had mistaken the identity. Maybe only when the two of them 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 follow him.
Franklin thought of something. He rubbed her hair and said, "I can't bear to let you go. I don't know
what Daniel is thinking. He wants to make our son appropriate to himself. I'm afraid that he'll have
some ulterior motives to you when he sees you. It's okay to have a Andrew eyeing you covetously, but I
don't want to make any more enemies for myself."
"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'm not a national beauty. How can he like me?" Emily said angrily upon
hearing what he said.
But Franklin didn't say anything more and he just looked at her with his deep eyes.
Although he didn't say it, the meanings in his eyes were clear. That was in his eyes, no woman was
more beautiful than her.
Emily was so excited to be looked at by him like this. She liked Franklin too! And she liked him very
much. It would be strange if a woman wouldn't blush and have faster heartbeats when she was looked
at by the man she liked like this.
But she still wanted to see Daniel. That man was the one who imprisoned her son. She had to meet Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
him to find out what was going on.
"Just let me go! Okay?" Emily's heart made up her mind and began to act coquettishly by swinging
Franklin's arms.
A look of surprise flashed across Franklin's eyes. It was not that Emily had never acted coquettishly to
him. It was because that the two of them had been at loggerheads all this time, and it had been a long
time since 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 to mention my son's mother. If I take you to see him, I'll be the
biggest fool in the world."
