"You... You two?"
"As you can see, we are dating, and I have planned to marry her. I came to pick her up to get a marriage certificate today. So you should address her as aunt when you see her later."
Franklin let Emily go, ignoring Emily's blushed face and red ears, and spoke directly to Lucas.
Lucas' face turned pale. He staggered back two steps and almost fell down.
He had doubted that before, but he never expected it to be true.
"How is that possible, uncle? How can you like..."
"How is that impossible? By the way, why are you here? Shouldn't you be working? No wonder the Wright Group remains on a downswing. You and your father had better write a report to explain why. If you are not qualified for this job, I don't mind making you stay at home." Franklin scolded.
Lucas' face turned white. He quickly bent down, apologized to Franklin, got in the car, and left.
Emily regained her senses and quickly reached out to wipe her lips. She looked around again. Fortunately, no one was watching.
"Why are you here?" Emily asked in surprise.
Franklin scolded, "If I didn't come, do you plan to get back with him?"
"Of course not. I kept rejecting him just now." Emily immediately raised her hand and swore.
Franklin curled his lips, reached out, and caressed her hair, "You lovely idiot."
If he hadn't seen Emily firmly rejecting Lucas, Lucas wouldn't have been safe and left like that, and Emily wouldn't have been standing up and talking to him.
Emily hurriedly smoothed her messy hair. This man was so annoying.
He either stroked her hair or pinched her face. Did he have a fetish or something?
"You haven't told me why you're here?"
"Didn't I tell you last night? To apply for the marriage certificate." Franklin answered.
"What?" Emily was surprised, "Are you serious?"
"Why not? Are you trying to go back on your word?" Franklin titled his head and looked at her coldly.
His eyes seemed to warn her that if she dared to go back on her word, he would make things difficult for her definitely.
Emily immediately shook her head, "No, I am not. It's just... I am not prepared at all."
"Just get your ID card ready." Franklin snorted coldly.
Emily immediately opened her purse and took out her ID card.
"I always have my ID card with me."
"That's good. Let's go to the registry!" Franklin snatched the ID card from her hand and glanced at it. He curled his lips and thought, "The photo on the card was so ugly."
"But have you really made up your mind?" Emily asked him again after getting in the car.
Franklin turned to look at her and sneered, "I have made the decision, but have you?"
Emily didn't know how to respond. It was not that she couldn't make up her mind. She just wasn't prepared.
Seeing being quiet, Franklin thought his guess was right. His face turned grim. He said coldly, "If you really don't want to marry me, I won't force you. Jason, stop the car and send her back."
"No, I didn't mean that," Emily said anxiously.
Franklin looked at her coldly.
Emily pursed her lips and said, "I just thought it was too sudden and we got married for no reason. Besides... my mom has never seen you. I am just feeling scared."
"Good." Franklin curled his lips in satisfaction and pinched her cheeks again.
It hurt. No, she had to discuss it with him in the future. She had to tell him to get rid of this bad habit. Otherwise, if he went on like this, her cheek would get hurt.
Abigail had just finished the porridge. When she was about to sleep, Emily pushed the door open and came in.
When she saw Emily coming, Abigail immediately smiled with joy.
"Emily, you're here."
"Mom." Emily walked over and held her mother's hand.
Abigail asked her daughter to help her up. After lying in the hospital bed for more than ten years, she could no longer control her limbs as she had in the past. Now, like a child, she needed to learn everything.
"Why didn't you go to work today and come to see me?" Abigail asked with concern.
Emily looked at Franklin and said shyly to Abigail, "Mom, I am here to introduce someone to you."
Abigail immediately understood what Emily meant and could not help but look at Franklin a few more times. She found that the young man was really good-looking, but looked a little cold and difficult to get along well with. And he exuded an air of power from his face, which made him look remarkable. He made her think... of that person.
"Hello, mom. I'm Franklin." Franklin greeted with a smile.
Abigail was stunned and looked at Emily instantly.
Emily glared at Franklin. Why was he doing that? Calling her 'mom' at first sight? Did he want to scare her mother to death?
"Well, I'm married to him..." Emily explained awkwardly.
Abigail's face changed and she looked at Emily with a frown. She wanted to say something but hesitated.
After a while, she whispered to Emily, "Emily, ask...ask Mr. Brent to go out for a second. I want to talk to you alone."
