"I really didn't expect it to be you. What's your relationship with Emily?" Harry asked curiously.
"Emily and I..." James smiled and said, "Yes, Emily. We are husband and wife. I came to Lancaster University to give a speech this time, I did not expect to get sick from climate-unaccustomed. Emily knew about it and brought the child to see me. I always knew she was hiding from someone before, but I never thought it would be Franklin in Lancaster. Now she is caught in prison, I am very anxious. I also found someone to enquire about it, and it turns out that Mr. Brent should take the initiative to withdraw the case, and then there will be a turnaround."
"You have married Emily?" Harry was even more surprised.
James nodded and said, "And we have a child. Now that the child is at Emily's friend's house, he misses his mother very much."
Harry was shocked. He never expected Emily to leave for four years and came back married, and she even had a child.
Thinking of Franklin...
He sighed and said, "Do you know what's the relationship between Franklin and Emily?"
James nodded and said, "I heard some from Emily and asked my friends. They used to be husband and wife. But now that Emily is married and that Mr. Brent has a fiancee, I think this relationship should end."
"Hmm, do you know why didn't Franklin marry his fiancée for a long time? Because he hasn't divorced Emily yet, and the marriage relationship between them still exists. In other words, if Emily marries you now, then she is committing bigamy." Harry said.
"What? Has he never dealt with this?" James asked in shock.
Harry nodded.
James frowned and was worried for a moment.
He wasn't afraid that Franklin would sue them for bigamy, but it had been four years since then. If Franklin wanted to dissolve the marriage with Emily, it would be as easy as turning his hand over.
But he didn't do it. What did that mean? It meant that there were feelings or interests hidden behind.
The second possibility was almost non-existent. George had told him that Emily's background was not good. Back then, the Brent Family didn't think highly of her either. Franklin had to get rid of all difficulties to admit her identity recognized by Brent Family.
"Since he has feelings for Emily, why hasn't he looked for her in the past four years?" James asked.
It wouldn't be difficult if Franklin really wanted to find someone, not to mention that Emily was not far from Lancaster in the past four years. She didn't hide from him all the time, so it was easy for him to find her.
"I'm not clear about that either. I heard from my friend that you want to meet Franklin. I can arrange this, but I can't do more about it. He's always stubborn about Emily." Harry smiled bitterly.
James nodded and said quickly, "I'm already very grateful to you for these things, Mr. Carter. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even be able to see him."
"There's an event in the afternoon. I'll take you there. I'll give you a chance to talk alone." Harry looked at his watch and said to James.
James nodded and left with him.
The so-called activities were just a few friends playing golf together. Franklin rarely participated in such activities. Especially in the past four years, he seldom participated in such recreational activities. But he became keen on TV and magazines that he appeared in entertainment reports almost every month.
It puzzled his old friends. They were businessmen, not starlets. Increasing exposure did not do them any good. There was also the possibility of exposing their whereabouts and encountering any accidental injuries.
But they could say nothing about Franklin, and he had an excellent appearance. Standing in the middle of the stars, he was not inferior to them at all, so everyone was just appreciating it.
