Chapter 187
Emily's eyes lit up, ignoring Lisa’s rush to grab the phone, he pressed the answer button, took the
phone and said, "Franklin, this is Emily. Come and talk to me right away."
Franklin was silent over there, as if he didn't expect her to answer the phone.
Lisa was anxious and angry, reaching out to grab the phone, but Emily tried his best to hold it, just to
stop her from grabbing it.
Lisa had no choice but to loudly explain to Franklin, "Mr. Brent, I'm sorry. Please rest! I'll take care of
this right away."
"No, let me talk to her." Franklin's steady voice came from inside.
Emily proudly raised an eyebrow at Lisa. Lisa sighed and said loudly, "Okay."
Then he got up from Emily and left the living room. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Emily turned over and lay down in a different position in the study. She held her phone and said,
"Franklin, let me go. Why did you put me under house arrest? It's illegal. I can call the police."
"You're my wife. I just want you to stay in our new house for a few more days. Is this illegal detention?
Do you want the police to arrest me?" Franklin asked.
Emily was so choked up that she couldn't speak. Even if she could call the police, she couldn't let the
police catch Franklin!
However, being locked up here by him still felt bad, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care
anyway, you have to give me freedom. What do you mean by keeping me under house arrest? Just ask
me if you want to know anything. You don't have to investigate."
"Then let me ask you, why did you divorce me?" Franklin asked.
Emily went mute.
Franklin did not wait for her answer for a long time. He could not help but laugh and say, "You told me
everything I asked. I only asked you such a question, and you refused to tell me the truth."
Emily gritted her teeth and almost cried. Didn't she want to tell him the truth?
She wanted to cry in his arms and let him comfort her. But this matter, is it just a cry to comfort you?
Without children, Franklin's life would not be easy, and she would feel guilty.
"If you don't tell me, I'll look into it myself. You stay there until I find out," Franklin said.
Emily knew he was going to hang up and said quickly, "Don't hang up. I'll tell you. Can't I tell you? But
you have to come over. I need to talk to you face to face. I can't explain it clearly on the phone."
Franklin was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll be right there."
Emily thought again that it was too late, and he didn't know if it was safe to come here. Lisa said it was
halfway up the mountain. There was no way to open a mountain road at night!
He quickly said, "Don't come over now. I'm just getting ready to rest. Come over tomorrow morning! It's
not safe to come over now."
Franklin remained silent for a moment, but he agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Emily heaved a sigh of relief.
But as soon as she woke up, she had no choice but to curl up and sit on the sofa in a daze.
Lisa came over to take the phone and said to Emily, "Have you made a deal with Mr. Brent?"
Emily nodded and said gloomily, "He'll be here early tomorrow morning."
Lisa sighed and said, "If you have any problems, just tell Mr. Brent. You've been with Mr. Brent for so
long. Don't you believe Mr. Brent? I've never seen Mr. Brent care so much about anyone in all my years
with Mr. Brent. Don't be too happy."
"Is he not good to Avery?" Emily deliberately challenged Lisa.
Lisa fell silent.
Emily saw her silence and was furious, "Look, you think he treats Avery very well, too! So I'm not his
only good woman. Why should I be so tolerant of him?"
"Mr. Brent is not as good to Miss Lewis as he is to you, I can guarantee that," Lisa said.
"Then why were you silent just now?" Emily asked.
Lisa said, "But Mr. Brent treats Miss Lewis... I can't tell what it is. It's not that good, but it's not bad. He
is very tolerant, polite, and respectful to Miss Lewis. But if there is love between two people, do you
think it should be respectful to each other? Mr. Brent is very indifferent to others, and he is respectful to
Miss Lewis. He will only lose his mind and shout at you. Only in front of the people closest to him will
he reveal his true feelings."
"So you think he did this to me because he loved me?" Emily could not help but tremble with anger at
the thought of what he had done to her in the car.
Lisa shrugged and said, "The way everyone expresses their love is different. I can't say for sure that it
is. But I think that if a person does something that goes against his common sense, it is abnormal.
Every abnormal thing has a reason."
"By the way, why on earth did you divorce Mr. Brent? Because of the two insignificant outsiders,
Andrew and Avery?" Lisa couldn't help but ask.
In fact, she was a little skeptical. Although she had not been with Emily for a long time, she knew more
or less about Emily's character.
It was also obvious that Emily had feelings for Mr. Brent. In that case, you shouldn't really divorce Mr.
Brent for the sake of those two unimportant people.
"This is also his task for you. Do you want you to force me? No, he'll come over tomorrow morning, and
I'll make it clear to him," Emily said, lowering his eyes.
Lisa said, "It really has nothing to do with Mr. Brent. Mr. Brent likes to do things himself when he is
interested in them. So he doesn't want us to interfere in many of your things, just let me take care of
you here. I'm just curious and gossipy. If you don't want to say it, forget it."
With that, Lisa was about to stand up and leave.
"Don't go. Talk to me," Emily couldn't help but say.
In fact, her heart was in a mess. The thought of telling Franklin about this made her feel terrible.
And she had slept too much before, and even if it was very late now, she couldn't sleep at all. It's better
to talk to Lisa when you're alone in a daze.
"Okay, what are you talking about?" Lisa was also in high spirits and immediately sat beside her and
asked with a smile.
It was as if he had brought some melon seeds, fruits, and drinks to calm the atmosphere and asked her
if she had an appetite.
Emily was really hungry, but he didn't want to eat these, so he asked her if she had anything to eat.
Lisa immediately conjured up a bowl of bird's nest porridge, steak and some meat dishes.
Emily immediately took a big bite, then sat down on the sofa after eating, eating melon seeds and fruit
with Lisa while watching a movie.
The movie was a long time ago. I don't know if it was for the occasion, but it was also a conflict
between a couple who hadn't had children for many years.
Emily felt it when he looked at it. He couldn't help but say, "Actually, I can't have children either. That's
why I want to divorce Franklin."
