Emily left Franklin's house angrily. Although Franklin agreed to let her see the child, he arranged two bodyguards for her, saying that he was afraid that she would run away again.
Emily gritted her teeth in anger but could do nothing about it.
When she arrived at Joyce's house, she asked the two bodyguards to wait for her at the door.
"Miss Johnson, Mr. Brent told us not to leave you at any time."
"What, do you have to follow me even if I go to the bathroom?" Emily snorted coldly.
They blushed and immediately lowered their heads and said, "Of course not."
"Since you don't have the guts, just guard the door. There's only one door here, and we're on the twelfth floor. Where can I run to?" Emily scolded angrily.
The two bodyguards hung their heads even lower and had to stand at the door.
When Joyce opened the door and saw the two of them, she was surprised. As soon as Emily entered, she asked curiously, "Who are they?"
"The bodyguards Franklin sent for me. He is actually watching me, afraid that I would run away again." Emily said angrily.
Joyce curled her lips and asked Emily curiously, "It seems that he still has feelings for you. Then what is he going to do with Avery?"
Emily snorted coldly, "What else can he do? The wedding date doesn't change, and he even asked me to be the bridesmaid."
"Ah?" Joyce was stunned. She didn't expect this.
Emily gritted her teeth and said, "I think he just wants to humiliate me. I didn't want to leave when I left. Why should he vent all his anger on me?"
"Okay, okay, don't get mad. James' problem has been solved anyway. Or you can just leave him to save yourself from getting angry." Joyce comforted her.
Emily gritted her teeth and thought that she really wanted to leave him, but could she?
"Well, let's talk about it later! Where are Bryce and Deny? Did Sebastian take them out to play?" Emily asked quickly when she saw that neither the two children nor Sebastian was at home.
Joyce said, "Yes, they went out to play. I've already called them and they'll be back soon."
"Joyce, Bryce might have to stay at your house for a while longer. Sorry for the trouble," Emily said, "but I don't want him to live with me in Franklin's house. I don't want him to know about my relationship with Franklin."
Joyce said, "You can rest assured that Bryce is safe with me. It actually saves me a lot of effort to have him here. He's so obedient and can help me look after Deny. I'm much more relaxed than before."
"Thank you, Joyce. But I also know what this child is like. If he's disobedient, just help me educate him."
"Well, don't worry! He's very obedient. But Emily, are you really not going to let James raise him? He didn't fight for custody of the child?" Joyce asked curiously.
It wasn't that she didn't want to continue taking care of Bryce. It was just that she felt very strange.
According to her observation, James was also very fond of the child. However, when James divorced Emily, he did not mention custody. Knowing that it was not convenient for Emily to take care of the child, he still gave him to her and would rather let someone else help to take care of him, which was not reasonable.
These days, she and Sebastian had also thought about this. Looking at Bryce's appearance, they always felt that it had nothing to do with James. Although nor did he look like Emily, the two had something in common, and his brows and eyes were similar to Franklin's, so they were suspicious.
Unexpectedly, when she said that, Emily frowned and pursed her lips.
Joyce immediately said, "Emily, we're close. Don't hide anything from me."
