Hello, Mr. Brent

Emily was shocked when she saw that the caller ID was "Mom." She quickly asked Franklin, "What should I do? It's my mom calling. Should I answer it?"

"Of course you have to answer your mother's call. She should feel guilty, not you," Franklin said.

Emily pouted and said, "But I'm afraid. I'm afraid my mother will talk about that."

"Don't you want to ask who that person is? Or you just ask.” Franklin watched her whine, so he simply took the phone, answered the call and then put the phone back in her hand.

Even if Emily didn't want to answer the phone, she had to answer it now. She glared at Franklin angrily and said, "Mom, why are you calling me so late?"

Abigail was silent for a moment and said, "Emily, I heard from the nurse... That you came over today. I saw all the health care products. They're good. But they're just too expensive. You must have spent a lot of money. Thank you!"

"You're welcome." Emily didn't know what to say. They spoke like strangers.

"But... Since you came, why didn’t you come in?" Abigail asked tentatively.

Emily pursed her lips and sighed in her heart. Since when did she talk to her mother so carefully? It was obvious that she knew the reason, but she deliberately did not say it to test her.

"Mom, let's not beat around the bush. Let's get straight to the point!" Emily took a deep breath.

Abigail was embarrassed for a moment, thinking that thanks to the call, she didn't have to let her daughter know how she looked now.

"Okay, let's get straight to the point! Emily, I ... I'm dating someone. And I think he's nice. I know you might be upset, but mom ... mom is too lonely and wants to find someone to stay by my side,” Abigail said. Emily was a lot more open-minded in an instant. She had grown up and was no longer the little girl who needed her mother's company. Now that her mother had finally found her happiness, she should wish her the best.

It was just...

"Mom, I'm really happy for you to meet someone you like. Really, I mean it. I'm telling the truth. But... Who's that uncle? He can't be your doctor!" After Emily finished speaking, she laughed, hoping that her mother would retort immediately.

Sure enough, her mother did not disappoint her expectations. She did refute.

She immediately said, "Of course not. He has a family. How can I be with him? This guy... You may not have paid much attention to him, or you may think that we are not suitable.”

Emily sighed with relief and said quickly, "Mom, don't think so. The person you pick must be good, except for the first time. I believe you have a good eye for people.”

It was fine as long as that guy wasn't the attending doctor. Otherwise, she really didn't know what to do.

"Really? Emily, thank you for understanding mom so well. Hunter said you can definitely understand us."

"Who? Wait, mom, who did you just mention?" Emily shouted.

"Hunter, you've met him before,” Abigail said again.

Emily didn't know how to reply.

She had met him before, but Hunter was an Intern. He's only 21 years old, even younger than Emily!

"Mom, can't it be the Hunter I know?" Emily asked in worry.

Abigail fell silent and sighed for a while before saying, "I told you that you wouldn't understand. Emily, I'm sorry. You might think that mom must be crazy. But I really love him. We have a huge age gap, but ..." "Mom, he's only 21 years old, younger than me. Even if your feelings for him are real, what about him? How... How could he like..."

"Emily, you also think I'm old? I'm not pretty anymore?" Abigail asked sadly.

Emily said quickly, "Mom, I didn't mean that. I mean, I... 1 didn't mean that anyway."

"Emily, I know that you can't accept it for the time being. Mom also knows that this is too sudden for you. You must find it weird. Let's end this conversation! Mom will give you time to accept it slowly. If you... are willing to meet Hunter, then call me." After Abigail finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Emily stood in a daze with her cell phone. She never expected this to happen.

Franklin left when she answered the call. Emily went to the study to look for him dejectedly.

She opened the door and pouted. Franklin put down the materials in his hand and said, "What's going on?"

Emily glanced at the picture on the table. No matter how many times she looked at it, Avery was still so beautiful.

But now she was not in the mood to be jealous. She sighed as she walked towards Franklin. After Franklin stretched out his arm, she settled herself in his hug.

"Well, I've talked with my mom and asked who the man was."

"Who is it?" Franklin asked.

"Don't worry, it's not your cousin-in-law. But... It's even worse. My mother actually finds a young man, only 21 years old, younger than me. How can I accept it?" Emily pouted and said.

Franklin laughed loud, "What's going on? A young man?"

"You're still laughing. I'm about to cry.” Emily slapped him on the shoulder.

Franklin said, "I can't laugh because your mother finds a lover younger than you? You don't have to cry. If they truly love each other, we should support them. After all, love fights everything.”

"Nonsense. He's only 21 years old. How could he be sincere to my mother? No way. I have to investigate it carefully.”

Franklin thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll ask Jason to look into it. Tell me the name and I'm make we can get all his information out in hours.”

"Do you think he is planning for something?" Emily asked quickly. Franklin said, "Although your mother is not young and has been ill all these years, she has recovered now and maintained her charm. She is very beautiful. You are not like her. I told you before how did your mother take a liking to Anthony? She shouldn't have! In fact, I am not surprised that she can attract young boys. But now she's my mother-in- law, I have to think about whether that person wants to take advantage of your mother to get closer to the Brents, so I have to find it out. If it's true love, I definitely will support them.”

"Gee, it sounds like your family is a big deal. Everyone wants to get involved with you," Emily sneered.

"Doesn't it?" Franklin pinched her chin and asked.

Emily looked up proudly and said, "You also said that my mother was still charming and beautiful. She can totally attract young boys. Maybe he just truly likes my mother."

"Do you want him to like your mother, or do you want him to have other purposes? I don't know what you want now," Franklin laughed. Emily pursed her lips. She couldn't figure out what she wanted, either. If her mother was in a normal relationship, she would definitely support it, but her mother was with such a young man. Could it be that she had to call a 21-year-old brat father?

At the thought of this, she got goosebumps.
