Chapter 65
Franklin looked at her in surprise and asked doubtfully, "Are you jealous?”
Emily immediately pulled down the face and screamed like a cat with its hair blown up, "Are you kidding me? I'm not jealous. I'm just telling the truth.”
"Truth? What's the basis of your inferring to that truth?” Franklin snorted
"Isn't it the truth?" Emily asked in reply.
Franklin looked at her, feeling a little angry at heart. All of a sudden, he pulled her into his arms, pinched her chin, and kissed her.
Emily widened her eyes, completely unable to react. She did not understand why Franklin suddenly kissed her.
Fortunately, he still remembered that they were in the car. There was a driver in front of them, so he knew he could not go too far.
So he gently bit her on the lips before pushing her away. His chest kept heaving with his wheezing and his breath was obviously unstable. However, he still wore a calm and placid expression as usual.
Emily leaned back in her seat and gasped for air. Her heart was filled with excitement and her face flushed abnormally.
Of course, she wouldn't say it out loud. Even if she was in turmoil at heart, she still tried to be as calm as possible.
Glancing casually at Franklin, she saw that he had already looked out of the car window and his side face looked firm and indifferent. He was so good-looking, but also looked inhumane at the same time.
"What are you looking at?" Emily gasped for a moment and couldn't help but ask him as he kept looking outside.
"Since I'm blind, what can I see?" Franklin said. It seemed that he felt aggrieved and talked nonsense.
Emily thought of what she had just said about him and couldn't help but chuckle.
But she was really curious about the reason why Franklin didn't like Ivy. As a woman herself, she felt that she would be happy and willing to accept Ivy's love if she were a man and Ivy liked him.
"Why don't you like Ivy?" Emily couldn't help but ask curiously. She pressed her lips and said, "Is it because of Avery?"
Franklin's eyes darkened and he turned to look at her with an indifferent face, "Why are you taking so much? Do you want to sit in the wheelchair for another month?"
Emily was so scared that she immediately shut up. Franklin was so vicious that he even threatened her.
"1 don't care what your answer is. I'm hungry. I want to eat something.” Emily said angrily.
"Go home now." Franklin turned around and continued to look outside the car window.
Emily said angrily, "I don’t want to go home. I want to eat outside. You can ask the driver to stop and put me down! I can go now anyway. I'll go home by myself."
"You mean that I should put you down and let you go to dinner alone?" Franklin turned to look at her and asked unhappily.
Emily said, "Of course. Or will you come with me?"
After all, she had never seen Franklin eating outside. He seemed to be very keen on eating at home. Even when he was engaged in social events, after coming back home he would ask the servants to make him a midnight snack. He often ate so much that it was obvious that he hadn't eaten his fill.
"Okay, I'll come with you,” Franklin said.
Emily looked at him in surprise. He thought he would turn around awkwardly and let her get out of the car at once. She didn't expect him to go with her.
"If you don't want to, you don't need to force yourself to do so,” Emily said immediately.
Franklin said, "I am not forced to do so. It's just a meal. I'm willing to invite you to dinner.”
After saying that, he gave Jason an address and asked him to send them over.
Emily had heard of the place that Franklin was talking about, but she had never been there. It was said that only private cuisine was served there and the guests there were either rich or powerful people. What's more, you may not be able to eat there even though you have a lot of money. So Emily was really looking forward to the dishes there.
Jason quickly sent them to the place. After the car stopped, Franklin got out of the car together, holding Emily's hand in his hand.
Being held by Franklin, Emily felt warm. Franklin's palm was wide and warm, making her feel safe and reliable.
"Mr. Brent."
As soon as Franklin entered, the waiter bowed respectfully to greet him. The manager came soon. He was a gentle and elegant man, smiling and entertaining Franklin himself.
Franklin said, "You don't have to entertain us personally. Go and do your job! Just find a private room for us and we'll eat there.”
"Okay, I'll get someone to take you there right away.” The manager said respectfully.
Emily followed Franklin, feeling that she had benefited a lot from her association with Franklin. She could not help but sigh with emotion in her heart that as the richest man in the world, Franklin was actually flattered by everyone.
"Let's go!" Franklin took Emily's hand and walked in.
Unexpectedly, a young man walked out when they were walking through a long corridor. He was surprised to see Franklin, "Uncle? Why are you here?"
Franklin stopped and looked at him frowning slightly, "Of course, I'm here to have dinner. What else can I do here?"
The young man blushed as Franklin said that. But he was probably used to being ridiculed by Franklin. He quickly returned to normal and smiled, "Then let's sit together! Lucas and Ivy are also here."
Perhaps Ivy had heard Franklin's voice and she ran out of the room. When she saw Franklin, her eyes brightened and she immediately walked over to him and said, "Franklin, you're here too! What a coincidence! Let's sit together!"
"There's no need. I have someone with me." Franklin pushed Ivy's hand away.
Ivy was a little disappointed. She then looked at Emily and smiled, "So it's Emily who is with you. We all know each other well. I believe that Emily wouldn't mind your sitting together with us!”
Emily smiled awkwardly.
She wanted to say yes, but seeing Franklin's face, she knew he was unwilling. She had no right to say anything.
"Emily, come and eat with us." Ivy was such a coquettish girl. She ran to Emily and shook her arm.
It was the first time that Emily had seen such a coquettish girl. She couldn't help but be softhearted and she looked at Franklin and said, "Why don't we sit together?”
Franklin glanced at her and finally nodded. Ivy said happily, "That's great. I'll have them serve other dishes right away."
Everyone knew that Franklin was a neat freak. Although they only ate a few mouthfuls, Franklin still didn't like it. Ivy simply asked the waiters to withdraw all the dishes and bring up new ones.
Emily and Franklin went in. There were several other people inside besides Ivy and the young man. Among them were Lucas and Iris. Iris and Lucas were stunned when they saw Emily, and then they turned away in disgust.
