Franklin looked at her in surprise and asked doubtfully, "Are you jealous?"
Emily immediately pulled down the face and screamed like a cat with its hair blown up, "Are you kidding me? I'm not jealous. I'm just telling the truth."
"Truth? What's the basis of your inferring to that truth?" Franklin snorted.
"Isn't it the truth?" Emily asked in reply.
Franklin looked at her, feeling a little angry at heart. All of a sudden, he pulled her into his arms, pinched her chin, and kissed her.
Emily widened her eyes, completely unable to react. She did not understand why Franklin suddenly kissed her.
Fortunately, he still remembered that they were in the car. There was a driver in front of them, so he knew he could not go too far.
So he gently bit her on the lips before pushing her away. His chest kept heaving with his wheezing and his breath was obviously unstable. However, he still wore a calm and placid expression as usual.
Emily leaned back in her seat and gasped for air. Her heart was filled with excitement and her face flushed abnormally.
Of course, she wouldn't say it out loud. Even if she was in turmoil at heart, she still tried to be as calm as possible.
Glancing casually at Franklin, she saw that he had already looked out of the car window and his side face looked firm and indifferent. He was so good-looking, but also looked inhumane at the same time.
"What are you looking at?" Emily gasped for a moment and couldn't help but ask him as he kept looking outside.
"Since I'm blind, what can I see?" Franklin said. It seemed that he felt aggrieved and talked nonsense.
Emily thought of what she had just said about him and couldn't help but chuckle.
But she was really curious about the reason why Franklin didn't like Ivy. As a woman herself, she felt that she would be happy and willing to accept Ivy's love if she were a man and Ivy liked him.
"Why don't you like Ivy?" Emily couldn't help but ask curiously. She pressed her lips and said, "Is it because of Avery?"
Franklin's eyes darkened and he turned to look at her with an indifferent face, "Why are you taking so much? Do you want to sit in the wheelchair for another month?"
Emily was so scared that she immediately shut up. Franklin was so vicious that he even threatened her.
" I don't care what your answer is. I'm hungry. I want to eat something." Emily said angrily.
"Go home now." Franklin turned around and continued to look outside the car window.
Emily said angrily, "I don't want to go home. I want to eat outside. You can ask the driver to stop and put me down! I can go now anyway. I'll go home by myself."
"You mean that I should put you down and let you go to dinner alone?" Franklin turned to look at her and asked unhappily.
Emily said, "Of course. Or will you come with me?"
After all, she had never seen Franklin eating outside. He seemed to be very keen on eating at home. Even when he was engaged in social events, after coming back home he would ask the servants to make him a midnight snack. He often ate so much that it was obvious that he hadn't eaten his fill.
"Okay, I'll come with you," Franklin said.
Emily looked at him in surprise. He thought he would turn around awkwardly and let her get out of the car at once. She didn't expect him to go with her.
