Chapter 276
Emily packed her things and got into the car with Lisa. The car was already moving, but Emily suddenly
asked the driver to stop the car.
"Madam, what are you doing?" Lisa asked in surprise when she saw that Emily was getting out of the
car.
"Wait for me." Emily said, then pushed open the door and ran out of the car.
Franklin looked at her from behind and was surprised to see Emily running towards him, "What's
wrong? Have you forgotten something?"
Without saying a word, Emily suddenly threw herself at him and hugged him tightly.
After a while, she muttered, "I didn't forget anything. I just wanted to hug you."
Franklin curled his lips and rubbed her head, then pinched her chin and kissed her.
The servant next to him was still there. When he saw this, he immediately lowered his head and
snickered.
It was Emily who ran back to him. But in the end, she was the one who blushed in embarrassment. As
soon as Franklin let go of her, she quickly turned around and ran away, not even saying goodbye.
After she ran back to the car, the driver started the car again and drove forward.
Lisa curled her lips and said, "I was just wondering what was that about. It turns out you just couldn't
bear to leave Mr. Brent! In that case, why don't you let Mr. Brent go with you? As long as you ask him,
Mr. Brent will make time for you even if he is busy."
"My mother won't let me do this." Emily lied casually.
However, Lisa bought it. She curled her lips and said, "What does she worry about anyway? You are
already a married couple. She'll have to accept him in the end. You should try your best to turn her NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
around when you get there. Mr. Brent is such a nice person that anyone should feel lucky to have him.
What more could she expect of for her son-in-law?"
Emily didn't want to continue the subject. She glanced at the bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat
and whispered to Lisa, "What's the name of the bodyguard in front of you?"
Lisa said, "Oh, his surname is Wintour. You can call him Brian!"
"Hello, madam." Brian quickly greeted Emily.
Emily smiled awkwardly.
Lisa thought of Franklin's worry again and said to Emily, "Madam, here is something that might not
mean for me so say. Whatever happened in the past stays in the past. Mr. Brent cares so much about
you. You don't know how many women in Lancaster envy you for his preparing such a grand wedding
for you. Mr. Brent's feelings for you are really touching. You can't let him down."
"What did I do? I didn't do anything wrong!" Emily immediately argued guiltily.
Lisa said, "That would be the best. I'm just reminding you. I only said so because we are close.
Otherwise, I wouldn't even bother to bring it up."
"Okay, okay, okay. Thank you for your kindness. But you also said that we are good friends, so don't
call me madam. It sounds awkward. You can still call me Miss Johnson like before, or just call me
Emily."
"Then it's Miss Johnson! I don't dare to call you Emily directly. If Mr. Brent hears it, he will be angry."
Lisa said immediately.
"He's not as easily provoked as you think. He's... Very kind." Emily couldn't help but smile.
Lisa also pursed her lips and smiled, "As long as you think so. Don't do anything that would hurt him in
the future. I've been with Mr. Brent for so many years, but I've never seen him care so much about
anyone else. The child... He doesn't like what happened either. He keeps urging Jason to look for him.
Sooner or later, something will come up."
Lisa knew that if there was anything else bothering Franklin and Emily, it must be for the child.
It was like a thorn in the flesh. You wouldn't feel it until you touch it, and it would hurt like hell.
"I know he's done his best. I don't blame him." Emily muttered, her eyes dimming.
Lisa sighed in her heart for it was obvious Emily didn't mean it.
But she stopped there. The topic was too heavy. Before the child was recovered, the less this matter
was brought up, the better.
It was rather a long way from Lancaster to Irvine, and the car finally arrived after eight hours.
It shouldn't be a surprise, for the two cities were not even in the same province, and there was a
province between them. Fortunately, Franklin arranged for a bodyguard with good driving skills, so they
can take turns without getting into drowsy driving.
Abigail bought a house with two bedrooms and a living room in Irvine, more than 90 square meters. It
looked a little empty for her living alone, but the spare room in the house was originally meant for Emily
to have a place to crash.
So Abigail was naturally very happy when Emily brought Lisa over.
Brian helped to bring things into the house. When Abigail saw so many things, she immediately
complained, "Emily, what's with all these! Why do you bring so many gifts? There was no need for so
much trouble. Don't be silly."
"Mom, it's okay. These are all nutrients. You can eat them slowly." Emily said to her mother.
Abigail nodded and turned to Lisa.
Emily introduced her immediately, and Abigail understood that Lisa was to keep her company.
She didn't know that Emily was married to Franklin. She thought that Emily was still under Franklin's
surveillance, and these people came with her to spy on her.
So she was rather cautious in speaking, not daring to say much.
Because it was very late when they came over, Abigail called a familiar restaurant and ordered some
dinner. They made do with the takeout, and then Abigail told Lisa about booking a hotel for them.
Lisa immediately said, "Mrs. Wintour, thank you for your hospitality. But there is no need for that. There
are two rooms here. I'll just stay with Miss Johnson and ask Brian to stay at the hotel outside the
neighborhood for a night."
"Certainly not. You have traveled a long way. How can I put you two in one room? I'll just book three
rooms in the hotel outside. The three of you can rest there!" Abigail said politely immediately.
Lisa smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Wintour, but I want to stay at home with Miss
Johnson. If it's not so much trouble, I can sleep on the sofa. I'll be fine."
"Well..." Abigail turned to Emily.
In fact, Emily had been quiet the whole time, so her mother could drive Lisa and the others away. There
were only two rooms here, so there was no doubt that Brian and the driver had to crash outside.
If her mother persuaded Lisa to live outside, her trouble would be solved.
But Lisa insisted on staying after what her mother had said.
Now that even her mother was looking at her, Emily could not help but cough softly. She had to say
something at this point.
She could only persuade her mother, "Then let Lisa stay here! Mom, I have a lot to tell you. I'll stay in a
room with you tonight and we can have a good chat."
After that, she winked at her mother.
In fact, Emily had no choice but to agree to Lisa's staying. If she also tried to drive her away, a smart
person like Lisa would definitely get suspicious. By then, it might be even more troublesome.
