Emily didn't expect Franklin to put her under house arrest. He did that to her again. Did he really think that she was a pushover?
"Franklin." Emily went upstairs angrily and shouted.
"Hush, hush, hush. Don't wake the child up." Franklin quickly walked out of the bedroom and hushed her.
Bryce had always been taken care of by Emily. But Emily had no experience raising a kid, and she felt boys were not that vulnerable and she hadn't treated him as nervously as Franklin did.
So she didn't realize what her loud voice would do to Bryce at all. She continued to ask loudly, "What are you doing? Let me ask you, am I forbidden by you from going out? How could you do this? How could you go so far? Is it fun to put me under house arrest?"
"I didn't put you under house arrest. I am just protecting my property." Franklin said coldly as he pulled her downstairs.
Emily snorted coldly, "Your property? Am I your property? I'm a human being. Besides, I belong to myself. When did I belong to you?"
"You are my wife, so of course you are my property. But now my property wants to run out. What's wrong with me forbidding you from going out?" Franklin asked back.
Emily was so angry that her face turned red. She found that she could not reason with him, so she pointed at him angrily and said, "Franklin, you are unreasonable."
"Emily, who is unreasonable? You wanted to pretend to be another woman and send my son away to pretend that he's someone else's son. Have you considered my feelings? Yes, I know he's your brother, but so what? You've just met him, and you don't even know him well. But you've given birth to my child. Why do you consider my feelings? Do you think it's simple to pretend to be a couple? Do you think Mrs Williams is an ignorant old lady who would be fooled by you? Emily, can't you stopped being stupid? You are happy even though Daniel deceived you."
"What do you mean? Do you mean Daniel is lying to me?" Emily questioned.
Franklin snorted and gave her a disdainful look.
Although he didn't say anything else himself, she could tell what he meant.
Emily was so angry that her face turned red, but she did not continue to yell at Franklin.
She still had a sense of right and wrong. Although Franklin was petty and always liked to make a fuss and overreact about her things, he never made up things. Since he said so, perhaps there was something wrong.
Emily asked patiently, "How do you know he's lying to me?"
"Anyone who's not a fool can tell," Franklin said coldly.
So he was saying she was a fool. Asshole. He did that again. He never made things clear but forced her to guess.
"Okay, I'll believe you for the time being. But I have to ask Daniel myself. I don't believe he's lying to me on purpose. I have to hear the truth from him." Emily was about to walk out.
The people at the door still stopped her.
Emily turned to Franklin and said, "Before I ask him myself, I will not believe your words."
Franklin's eyes darkened. He really didn't want Emily to leave.
The outside world was dangerous. Everyone was coveting his beauty. He felt like as soon as he allowed her to go out, she would be taken away immediately.
But he thought about what he had promised her before, and he also wanted her to completely give up, so he waved his hand and asked the bodyguards at the door to let her go.
However, he was still worried and said to Emily, "Wait for me for a while. I'll go with you."
