Franklin woke up from a hangover. Not only did he have a splitting headache, but his body seemed to have been crushed. He felt uncomfortable all over.
Fortunately, as soon as he woke up, Emily came over and brought him a glass of water, "Do you have a headache! I told you not to drink so much. Now you know how uncomfortable it is to be drunk."
Franklin picked up the glass and finished it in one gulp. Then he kissed Emily on the cheek and said, "I'll take your advice. I won't drink anymore."
"Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Let me give a massage for you." Emily pinched his shoulder.
Franklin looked at her in surprise. Emily suddenly became so attentive that he was not used to it.
After thinking for a long time, he thought of a saying, "If there's nothing to be courteous, it's either adultery or theft." So he turned to look at her and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Emily was stunned and then she smiled awkwardly. She pounded his legs again and said, "You're smart. You guessed it all at once."
Franklin curled his lips and reached out to pinch her face. Her thoughts were written all over her face. Could he not tell?
"Do you remember what you said last night?" Emily asked.
Franklin was stunned. He tried to recall. However, he got a mental block about what he said last night, so he could not think of anything.
"What did I say? I shouldn't have said anything! I seemed to have fallen asleep when I came back yesterday."
"You didn't go to bed as soon as you come back. Instead, you went to look for me on the deck. At first, you looked like a normal person, but soon I found out that you were drunk." Emily said.
Franklin was stunned and his face darkened.
He knew what he would do when he was drunk, so his facial expression turned very weird and he looked at Emily strangely. However, he didn't say anything, as if he was asking her what he had said yesterday.
Emily coughed lightly and said seriously, "You were drunk last night and you insisted on chatting with me. I didn't want to talk to you, but you insisted on saying that you love me. You also mentioned that there was one thing that you didn't tell me. Therefore, I had no choice but to start talking to you."
"Then what did I talk to you about?" Franklin asked.
Emily knew that Franklin was both sulky and smart. If he knew that what he said yesterday was ambiguous, he would definitely not admit what he said yesterday.
Not only would she not find out if they knew each other before, but she would be fooled by him.
Therefore, she thought for a while and said, "Of course, it's about our past. I mean what happened before I got drunk and met you."
Franklin smiled. In fact, he had already guessed right from Emily's hesitation. He might have said something he shouldn't have said yesterday, but he never said it completely.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be talking to him like this right now.
"We knew each other before that? Why didn't I know?" Franklin said faintly.
He reacted as she expected.
Emily said angrily, "You said it yesterday. Why don't you admit it now?"
"You told me that I was drunk yesterday. I don't even remember what I said. Maybe it was some drunken nonsense." Franklin denied what he said yesterday.
Emily was so angry that she complained in her heart. Who didn't know that you liked to tell the truth when you were drunk? You're still as pretentious as a big tail wolf.
"You said it yesterday, but why don't you admit it now? You told me that we knew each other before, or you wouldn't have saved me that day. In fact, I suspected that a cold-blooded person like you would save me, who was drugged only when you went out of mind. But you always remain chaste, and there's no need to sacrifice your innocence. It was only last night that I realized that it was because we knew each other before."
"Then how did we meet before?" Franklin asked.
