Emily's eyes turned red, and he flung his hand away and sat down on a wooden chair beside him. He lowered his head and said gloomily, "Isn't that enough? Franklin, I didn't say this to you to comfort me, nor to let you tell me. No matter what I do, you won't leave me. You don't know how much I like you, but because of that, I can't be with you, or I'll be miserable for the rest of my life."
"You said you liked me?" Franklin stood in front of her and spoke from above her head.
Although it was still heavy, Emily could hear the excitement inside.
Emily jerked her head up and looked at her bitterly with teary eyes, "Yes, I like you. No, I don't like you. I love you. I love you. That's why I don't want you to get hurt, even if it's just a little hurt. So divorce me! Don't you like Avery very much if you find a woman who can have children? You're childhood sweethearts. I think she still has feelings for you, so just stay with her."
"It's impossible for me to talk to her," Franklin said.
Emily didn't like it when he heard it. It was not that he didn't like it, but that it was impossible. What had happened between them? There was no such possibility.
"Then it's someone else. There are so many people who like you, and that Ivy is waiting for you." Emily pursed her lips.
Franklin reached out and pulled her up, hugging her tightly in his arms and said, "I'm afraid no one loves me more than you do. That's why I don't want anyone and want you. It's just about this. Why didn't you tell me earlier? As for divorcing me alive and dead, you deliberately made others angry at me. Don't do this again. Even if you can't have children, I won't despise you."
Emily: ..."
What she was most afraid of was Franklin's attitude! She didn't want him to give up everything for her, even if he might get hurt.
"No, you are the heir to the Brents and the president of the Brents. If you don't have children, your position will be affected," Emily said urgently.
Franklin said, "I own 60 % of the company's shares now. No matter what happens, no one will change the position of the president of my group. As for the position of the head of the Brents... It doesn't matter. It's too worrying. I don't care who is willing to take over. I just have time to spend with you, so that I don't have to worry about today, or tomorrow, or even my nephews getting married."
"Why do you have so many shares? You used to have more than..."
"Last time, it was a wake-up call, so I moved around and made myself the biggest shareholder that couldn't be shaken. Unless the Brent Group went bankrupt, no one would be able to move me," Franklin said.
Emily sighed in his heart. Franklin was really good at it. How long has it been? He can do this.
She was very happy for him, but the Brents was in charge of the family...
"What do you mean by letting go? Even if you let go, don't you ever want a child in your life? What about everyone's business? There's always a child to inherit. I remember you like children. You don't have to give up your right to be a father for me."
"Just because you can't have a baby doesn't mean we can't have a baby. Just find a surrogate so you can suffer less." Franklin held her gently in his arms again.
Emily was moved. She really didn't expect Franklin to say such a thing for her.
He had already said that, and she did not know what else to say, so she could only be held by him in a daze.
