Franklin listened to Emily expressionless for a while before he said, "So the reason why you don't want to tell me is because you're afraid that I'll make fun of you as an illegitimate daughter?"
The word illegitimate daughter hit Emily hard, and he said with a sad face, "You don't have to be so straightforward! I don't know what's going on. I'm just going to talk to my mother."
"Emily, are you really stupid or stupid?" Franklin asked, rubbing her hair wordlessly.
Emily mumbled, "What's the difference between these two words?"
"Of course there is. It's all about how stupid you are." Franklin said righteously.
Emily grunted angrily and said, "I'm so sad now. It's okay if you don't comfort me, but you still make fun of me. Is it my man or not?"
"Since you know that I am your man, you should know. No matter who you are, no matter who your parents are, it has nothing to do with me. Because in my eyes, you are Emily. I have seen the stupid, cute, passionate, and silly Emily. Your background is nothing to me."
"So, if I really am an illegitimate daughter, don't you care?" Emily asked immediately.
Franklin said coldly, "I don't care if you're mentally ill. I still care if you're an illegitimate daughter?"
Emily thought about it and hugged Franklin's arm, "Franklin, thank you. You don't know how scared I am. I don't even dare to say this to Joyce. I'm afraid she'll look down on me. Although I know it's not my fault, it's... It's not glorious."
"People who really treat you don't care about who you are. If I wasn't the president of The Brent Group, would you leave me?" Franklin asked.
Emily immediately shook his head and said, "Of course not. Even if you are nothing, even if you need a soft meal, I will support you."
Franklin curled his lips, thinking that even if he was nothing, he would not get a soft meal from Emily.
"You're here." Abigail waited for Emily, Emily, and Franklin in the private room. Abigail quickly stood up.
However, Abigail obviously did not expect Franklin to come, so he could not help but show a restrained expression.
Emily saw that she was alone and asked, "Where's Mr. Fang?"
"He worked overtime today. I didn't tell him," Abigail said.
Franklin said hello to Abigail and said to Emily after being polite, "I'll wait for you next door. Look for me when it's over."
Emily nodded and watched him leave gratefully.
Fortunately, he did not insist on sitting down together to listen. Otherwise, according to his mother's character, he would not tell the truth.
As soon as Franklin left, Abigail breathed a sigh of relief.
