Hello, Mr. Brent novel Chapter 157

"I'm sorry I'm late for treating you to dinner. I really should punish you." As soon as Harry came in, he smiled and apologized.

Sebastian said, "You're welcome, Mr. Carter. You're a busy man. Unlike us, it's understandable that time is tight."

"But no matter how busy you are, you still have to be punctual, Mr. Carter," she said with a smile.

Sebastian was embarrassed, and Emily's tone was rather unkind. He quickly went to see Harry, afraid that he would be angry about it.

Unexpectedly, Harry smiled and said with a good temper, "Miss Johnson is right. It's my fault for being late. I'll punish myself first. You can do whatever you want."

With that, Harry picked up his glass and drank it.

While Harry was drinking, Joyce approached Emily and asked, "Emily, what's wrong? Why did I hear you speak so rudely to Mr. Carter? Did he offend you?"

Emily rolled her eyes and said, "He didn't offend me, but he betrayed Franklin."

Sneaking around with Andrew and Alan, taking on a project that was part of a plan, not betraying Franklin.

Thanks to their best friends, Franklin trusted him so much that he didn't expect him to play the same trick behind his back.

Originally, she shouldn't have come to the celebration party today, and she didn't help much, but the reason she came was to see if Harry had the face to see her.

Joyce shrugged in confusion, but did not ask much. After all, Harry was still here.

The waiter served quickly, and it was indeed very sumptuous.

Harry thanked him again and said that his friend would be here soon.

Joyce thought that the decoration style was softer and more suitable for women to live in, so he smiled and asked, "Mr. Carter, is this your sweetheart?"

Harry chuckled and said, "It's unrequited love."

Sebastian immediately said, "Mr. Carter is so attentive. I believe it won't be a single love soon."

Harry sighed and said, "I can't hope for that. As long as she accepts my kindness, I will be satisfied."

What Harry said was extremely pitiful. It was a pity that a person like him who wanted to have looks and wealth could say such a thing.

Joyce leaned over to Emily and whispered, "I don't know what kind of immortal Mr. Carter likes. Even Mr. Carter doesn't like it. Who else can he like?"

Emily shrugged, indicating that he did not know. However, a strange feeling arose in his heart. He had some vague guesses, but he did not dare to think deeply.

After dinner, Joyce and Sebastian left.

Sebastian had a little too much to drink, so Joyce had to drive him back.

Then he said to Emily, "Emily, what are you going to do? Your Mr. Brent is not here. Do you want someone to pick you up?"

Harry immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll send her back."

Emily also drank two glasses, so he didn't dare to drive back, so he could only take a taxi or get someone to give him a ride.

When Joyce heard Harry send her away, he put down his heart and helped Sebastian leave.

"Mr. Carter, is the person you like... Avery?" Emily asked.

Harry was stunned and smiled bitterly, "How did you know that Franklin told you?"

Of course not. He never talked about the three of you, especially about Avery. I was just guessing. I saw pictures of the three of you in Franklin's study. Since the three of you know each other and you love each other so much, I guessed and asked. I didn't expect that to happen."

Harry smiled bitterly and nodded slightly, "Yes, the three of us have known each other since we were young. We grew up together like childhood sweethearts. But the relationship is a little complicated. In this relationship, I am just a third party and an unnecessary person. Avery has always loved Franklin and has never changed."

"Then why did they break up?" Emily asked eagerly.

Harry shook his head, "I don't know the details. It was always Avery who left Lancaster and went to England. This trip lasted three years."

"England? You said Avery is in England?" Emily exclaimed.

Harry smiled and said, "Are you afraid that she and Franklin are connected? You can rest assured that they have always been in contact. We will meet each other every year. Franklin will not see her when he goes to England, but since Franklin is married to you, he will not have anything else to do with her."

Emily frowned, feeling very upset.

Franklin had never told her that Avery was in England. This was the second time he had been there, and he had never told her to meet Avery.

"Didn't Franklin tell you?" Harry looked at Emily's expression and asked doubtfully.

Emily grunted.

Harry thought for a while and said, "Maybe he didn't tell you because he was afraid you might misunderstand."
