Chapter 345
Emily tried to contact Franklin before leaving, but the call couldn't get through. After a while, she received a message from Franklin with a few words: Busy now. Contact you later.
Emily felt upset, and she pursed her lips and threw her phone aside. Lisa came in and looked at her in surprise, "Why haven't you changed? Mr. Williams is waiting for you downstairs.”
"I just called Franklin. He texted me that he was busy. Do you know what he was busy with?" Emily asked Lisa curiously.
With her lips twitching, Lisa said, "I've never seen another couple like you. You're married for so long, but you still seemed to be passionately in love. Mr. Brent is bidding on a major project. He's busy these days. Don't bother him with trifles. Hurry up and change. Mr. Williams is still waiting downstairs. He's busy too."
"Okay, okay, I'll change right away." When Emily heard this, she quickly went to the closet to get her dress.
After a long time, she picked out a plain one and put it on.
Lisa glanced at her and said, "Your dress is too simple!”
"Yes, I look like a drab sparrow in the dress with no elegance at all. Then she must be uncomfortable to see me,” Emily said proudly.
Lisa shook her head and said, "No, no, it's too simple. It can't make others feel your poor dress sense. Why don't you dress up flamboyantly? You're a rich family's daughter. It's reasonable for you to be ostentatious.”
"How?" Emily asked in confusion.
Lisa smiled and hurriedly went to find her another dress. She asked Emily to put it on and make her up. Then she took out the jewelry and put it on her. She also asked Daniel for his jewelry collections, especially those from Mrs Williams, and then asked Emily to wear all the jewels. Looking at the three necklaces around her neck, Emily said embarrassedly, "Others will think I'm a jewelry dealer.”
"That's what I want," Lisa said.
When they went downstairs together, Bryce and Daniel widened their eyes at the same time. But Daniel knew what she meant to do and could only shake his head with a bitter smile.
However, Bryce, who was still an innocent child, immediately looked down on Emily and said, "Mom, you're so vulgar."
Emily: ".."
"Little brat, how can you say that? I'm your mother." Emily pinched his cheek, pretending to be angry.
Bryce looked up and said righteously, "You are indeed vulgar. Look at what you're wearing. Amy is much prettier than you."
"Okay, then ask her to be your mother.” Emily said angrily.
However, Bryce blushed and said shyly, "I want her to be my wife, not my mother.”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Lisa picked him up and pinched his little face, "Little brat, you're so ambitious. You start to look for your wife at such a young age."
"Don't laugh at me. If you continue to laugh at me, I'll be angry.” Bryce pouted and pretended to be angry.
Daniel carried him over and said, "You like Amy. I'll take you to see her one day."
"Really? Dad, I love you.” Bryce was so happy that he kissed Daniel on the neck.
Bryce still called Daniel "dad" because he was nominally Daniel's son now.
Daniel was so happy to be coaxed by Bryce that he carried Bryce lovingly all the way.
They arrived at Mrs Williams'. Her face clouded when she saw Emily. She only talked to Bryce for a while, remaining silent for the rest of the time. She was amused by Bryce’s childish words. Even Nelson liked Bryce very much.
The children of some of Daniel's cousins, who had been married early, were all teenagers. The rest of Daniel's cousins, such as Dylan, were not married. So there was no peer at Bryce's age in the Williams.
The older people are, the more they like children. Mrs Williams and Nelson were not exceptions.
"l have to leave now. I'll pick them up tonight." Daniel stood up and said goodbye.
Mrs Williams nodded to reassure him.
After Daniel left, Mrs Williams glanced at Emily with disgust and said to Nelson, "Take the child out to play! I want to talk to Miss Brent." Nelson nodded and carried Bryce away.
Emily sat opposite Mrs Williams and said with a smile, "What would you like to talk with me?"
Mrs Williams turned her head away in disgust. Looking at Emily was the torture for her. She could not help but say after a while, "Can you get the jewelry off your head? Don't you think it's too heavy?"
"It's okay!" Emily said innocently, "I really like the jewelry. I used to buy jewels in the Brents. My elder brother can't stand me. Fortunately, Daniel dotes on me. He will buy whatever I want. Look at my necklaces. Two of them are from Daniel.”
"Humph, he's not doting on you. He's taking revenge on me." Mrs Williams snorted coldly.
"What do you mean? Don't try to sow discord. Daniel and I are on good terms.” Emily pretended to be angry.
Mrs Williams said, "Don't think I don't know about your secret. You just lent your womb to Daniel. That child... He is not the son of you and Daniel but a test-tube baby of Daniel and another woman. You are just a tool."
Emily pretended to be shocked and said, "How do you know that?" Mrs Williams looked at her flustered look and snorted coldly, "Of course I know. No one knows that better than me. I know who Daniel really loves. You can't compare with that woman at all.”
"I don't believe it. If their relationship is really as intimate as you say, why did they separate back then? Any couple who separate in the end doesn't have a good relationship.” Emily sneered, pretending to argue irrationally.
Mrs Williams' eyes darkening, she sighed, "I forced them to break up. That woman... If I hadn't placed obstacles between them, she wouldn't have left Daniel."
"So what. You want them to reconcile and get rid of me? I'm telling you. No way. Daniel is going to have a wedding with me, and that woman has been missing for years. Who knows where she is?" Emily pursed her lips.
"But you're just a tool Daniel used to get back at me and make me angry. Don't you mind it at all?" Mrs Williams asked with a grim face. In her opinion, Emily, the daughter of the Brents, should have some self-esteem at least and would mind it. That was why she called Emily over. She planned to force Emily to leave her son.
Unexpectedly, Emily smiled and said, "I don't mind it! Why should It? I don't care if Daniel loves another woman deeply as long as I can finally marry him. Anyway, I don't love him that much. He doesn't care about me, and I don't care about him, either. Both of us can have our own private zones. I really like this marriage.”
