"What do you mean by 'unfair'? Do you still want to go to work after you marry me? Does my wife have to stand in the sales center to sell houses? You're my wife. Franklin Brent's wife. You have to be on call and you're not allowed to refuse any of my requests. Aren't those your duty? Why don't you take a look at how much pocket money I'll give you every month? Isn't it much more than your salary?"
Contrary to her yelling at him, Franklin explained to her very calmly.
However, Emily bit her lip and insisted, "But I want to go back to work. I don't want my life to be affected after I marry you."
The title of Mrs. Brent did not belong to her at all. She would give it up sooner or later. What should she do by then?
It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it was difficult the other way round.
Only by staying true to herself could she continue her peaceful life after he divorced her. After all, she didn't have the confidence to remain true to herself and be herself while living a luxurious life.
Of course, Franklin didn't understand these at all.
He only felt that Emily didn't know how to appreciate favors. At first, she had refused him, and then she had had to agree to marry him because of her mother's medical fee. This whole series of incidents showed that she did not want to marry him at all and that she was forced to agree at the end.
This thought infuriated him, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
When had he, Franklin, ever been rejected like this? How dare she reject him?
"This is my only request." Emily saw that Franklin was getting more and more upset, so she added immediately.
Well, she could be on call for him, but continuing to work was her bottom line.
"Why do you have to work?" Franklin asked.
Emily puckered her lips and spoke nothing. Naturally, she could not tell him why.
Franklin stared at her angrily, wishing that he could take her face in his hands and squeeze it so hard that she would be unable to see him straight.
"Do you agree or not?" Emily asked again in a low voice.
The ending of her tone rose slightly, with a hint of coquetry.
Franklin was startled. He felt as if something had just swept over his heart and it felt itchy.
"Okay, I agree. But you also have to think it through. As my wife, it's not easy for you to continue working there peacefully."
It was not his fault when the company asked her to leave in the first place.
"That's another issue I want to discuss with you." Emily said immediately, "About the wedding... I want to cancel it. Let's just get our marriage certificate. With the marriage certificate, we can get a birth certificate, and we don't have to worry about the child's identification."
"Emily." Franklin roared.
The butler and the servants were all startled. They had already been curious about the fact that their Mr. Brent had brought a woman back. Now they were even more curious when they heard the growl of Mr. Brent, who had always been calm.
Who was this woman on earth? What's her relation with Mr. Brent? How could she make the indifferent and calm Mr. Brent lose his cool like this?
"Why are you yelling? You scared me." Emily patted herself on the chest.
Franklin gritted his teeth and said, "You should be glad that you're pregnant, otherwise..."
"Otherwise?"
"What do you think?" Franklin snorted and suddenly approached her.
Emily was taken aback by his eyes. Now she was also glad that she was pregnant.
"Do you agree or not? If you agree, we'll go to the marriage registry tomorrow." Emily asked again.
Franklin clenched his fists, suppressed the anger, stood up abruptly, and said to Jason, "Send her back."
"You haven't answered me yet."
"Emily, if you dare to say another word, I will make you regret having come here." Franklin threatened.
