Hello, Mr. Brent novel Chapter 187

Emily's eyes lit up, ignoring Lisa’s rush to grab the phone, he pressed the answer button, took the phone and said, "Franklin, this is Emily. Come and talk to me right away."

Franklin was silent over there, as if he didn't expect her to answer the phone.

Lisa was anxious and angry, reaching out to grab the phone, but Emily tried his best to hold it, just to stop her from grabbing it.

Lisa had no choice but to loudly explain to Franklin, "Mr. Brent, I'm sorry. Please rest! I'll take care of this right away."

"No, let me talk to her." Franklin's steady voice came from inside.

Emily proudly raised an eyebrow at Lisa. Lisa sighed and said loudly, "Okay."

Then he got up from Emily and left the living room.

Emily turned over and lay down in a different position in the study. She held her phone and said, "Franklin, let me go. Why did you put me under house arrest? It's illegal. I can call the police."

"You're my wife. I just want you to stay in our new house for a few more days. Is this illegal detention? Do you want the police to arrest me?" Franklin asked.

Emily was so choked up that she couldn't speak. Even if she could call the police, she couldn't let the police catch Franklin!

However, being locked up here by him still felt bad, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care anyway, you have to give me freedom. What do you mean by keeping me under house arrest? Just ask me if you want to know anything. You don't have to investigate."

"Then let me ask you, why did you divorce me?" Franklin asked.

Emily went mute.

Franklin did not wait for her answer for a long time. He could not help but laugh and say, "You told me everything I asked. I only asked you such a question, and you refused to tell me the truth."

Emily gritted her teeth and almost cried. Didn't she want to tell him the truth?

She wanted to cry in his arms and let him comfort her. But this matter, is it just a cry to comfort you?

Without children, Franklin's life would not be easy, and she would feel guilty.

"If you don't tell me, I'll look into it myself. You stay there until I find out," Franklin said.

Emily knew he was going to hang up and said quickly, "Don't hang up. I'll tell you. Can't I tell you? But you have to come over. I need to talk to you face to face. I can't explain it clearly on the phone."

Franklin was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll be right there."

Emily thought again that it was too late, and he didn't know if it was safe to come here. Lisa said it was halfway up the mountain. There was no way to open a mountain road at night!

He quickly said, "Don't come over now. I'm just getting ready to rest. Come over tomorrow morning! It's not safe to come over now."

Franklin remained silent for a moment, but he agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Emily heaved a sigh of relief.

But as soon as she woke up, she had no choice but to curl up and sit on the sofa in a daze.

Lisa came over to take the phone and said to Emily, "Have you made a deal with Mr. Brent?"
