Emily's expression froze and asked with a smile, "Have you met Franklin?"
Avery smiled and said, "I've been back for half a month. We had dinner together yesterday."
"Yesterday!" Emily smiled bitterly.
Thinking of Franklin calling her yesterday and saying that she was not going home for dinner. So, this
was Avery.
"What's wrong?" Avery asked.
Emily shook his head, looking a little lonely, but quickly returned to normal and said, "It's okay. Since
Miss Lewis is here, come and have a cup of coffee!"
"Thank you, but no need. I still have something to do. I just happened to pass by. I heard Harry say that
you have a flower shop here, so I came to see you. Since I saw Miss Johnson, I should go. Next time
we have a party, I hope you can come with Franklin." Michelle smiled.
Emily nodded and watched as she turned to leave. Suddenly, she thought of something and blurted
out, "Miss Lewis, when did you come back?"
"Number 16," Avery answered with a chuckle.
Emily's expression slowly stiffened as he watched Avery leave.
Little ding came over and said to Emily, "Emily, you are really amazing. Everyone you know is more
beautiful and sexy than the others. Can you introduce them to me?"
"It's all about you." Joyce slapped him and told him to go to work.
After Sean left, Joyce frowned at Emily and said, "Don't be too sad. It's just a coincidence."Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
On the 16th, the day their flower shop opened, Sebastian came to help as a boyfriend. At that time,
Emily said with a smile that he was going to pull Franklin over.
Originally, Franklin agreed, but then he received a phone call saying that he had a casual meeting and
left. Emily was quite disappointed, but Franklin's social engagements were all hundreds of millions of
projects in minutes. How dare they delay them? Although Emily felt uncomfortable, he still smiled and
watched him leave.
"Stop comforting me. I know what happened," Emily said bitterly.
Joyce said quickly, "Maybe she did it on purpose. She told you this on purpose to provoke you. Look at
her today, she's just trying to provoke you. She's just trying to piss you off, make you angry, and have a
conflict with Franklin, so that she can take advantage of the situation."
"She should have taken advantage of the situation. I'm not even a woman, so how can I compete with
others?" Emily smiled bitterly.
Joyce widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "Emily, what are you talking about? It's not like you to say
something so despondent."
"What else can I say? They were childhood sweethearts, and it's only natural for them to relive their old
dreams. Besides, I can't give Franklin anything. Can't I just stand there and not lay eggs?"
After Emily finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his room.
When Franklin came home from work and saw the servants busy, he asked, "Hasn't madam come
back yet?"
A little maid immediately came over and said, "I'm back. Madam is resting upstairs. Let's not disturb
her."
Franklin frowned. He used to see Emily running over when he came home. What happened today?
Just as she was about to go upstairs to take a look, the maid whispered again, "Sir, madam seems a
little unhappy. Her eyes are swollen."
"I see. Go ahead and do it!" Franklin nodded.
She went upstairs and pushed open the bedroom door. Sure enough, she saw Emily sleeping on the
bed.
He took off his coat and walked to the other side, thinking she was asleep. But she didn't expect her
eyes to be open, staring straight ahead without any focus.
"What's wrong with you?" Franklin frowned and touched her forehead.
Emily jerked his hand away and said coldly, "Don't touch me."
Franklin's frown deepened and her face turned black, but looking at her red and swollen eyes, he said
patiently, "What happened? Tell me. Maybe I can help you solve it."
"You help me? How can you help me? You can't help me at all. I asked you to help me find out about
my biological father, but it's been so long and there's no news at all. You can't do anything, you can't do
anything." Emily suddenly got up from the bed and sat on it screaming hysterically.
However, she was clearly unreasonable, and Franklin had also explained to her about her biological
father. It was true that nothing could be found, and Franklin found it strange. Abigail's life story was
very clear, and Anthony's life story was also very clear. But the two of them disappeared together for
three years, then appeared, and they had a child together, and that was Emily.
As for where he had been for the past three years, no one knew, and Franklin had no clue how to find
someone to investigate.
He had told her about it long ago, and she didn't react after hearing it. Instead, he smiled and said, "It
seems that god doesn't want me to find him. Since that's the case, then follow god's will!"
She dug up the past and said that he was useless. She was really looking for trouble.
However, Franklin remained patient and tried to be gentle, "I didn't do a good job on this. The person
I'm looking for is still investigating. There will definitely be a result. In this world, there can't be no
completely airtight wall. You wait..."
"Oh, Franklin, you're lying to me again! You're always like this. You like to lie to me, say things that are
impossible, give me hope, and then completely disappoint me. Just like the day before yesterday, when
I liked to eat scallops, you let me eat a few more! But she was stingy and refused to give it to me. She
also said that it would be bad to cook it again tomorrow and eat too much. But did you cook it
yesterday? You like to lie to me if you didn't cook it at all."
"Yesterday you said you wanted to eat pickled fish again, so the kitchen made pickled fish. Aren't you
happy to eat it?" Franklin had no idea how she could connect the two, but she explained patiently.
"But my heart for scallops has never changed, and you lied to me." Emily screamed hysterically again.
Franklin took a deep breath, and his patience finally wore off, "Emily, you just want to argue today!
You're making a scene out of nothing. Find something trivial to argue with me. If you just want to argue
with me, then I have nothing to say. You should have a good rest first! I'll come back when you calm
down."
With that, Franklin was about to walk out.
But when he reached the door, Emily suddenly shouted, "I saw Avery."
After a moment of silence, he said with a deep, bitter smile, "On the opening day of the 16th, did you
go to see her? These days... Every time you talk about social engagements, you meet her!"
