"What are you going to do? Tell Lucas about this?" Emily asked.
Lucas was Franklin's nephew. Franklin must be angry about something like this as his uncle and would tell him the story!
But Franklin snorted, "Why should I tell him? How can he expect others to tell him the truth while he knows nothing about his wife? I just need to take care of my own wife and others' wives have nothing to do with me."
Emily's mouth twitched, thinking that Lucas was his nephew anyway.
But she had no feelings for Iris nor for Lucas and she didn't want to meddle in their affairs. Now that she knew that she was being used, she felt much better.
Franklin must have investigated this matter because she was upset. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say gratefully, "Thank you."
Franklin raised his eyebrows, "What did you say? I didn't hear you."
Emily pursed her lips and said again, "Thank you."
Franklin curled his lips and said with a faint smile, "I don't want just a verbal thank. I don't need your thanks anyway."
"Then what do you want? I have no money to give you." Emily said immediately.
Franklin crooked his finger at her and his devilish look almost made Emily lose her breath and faint.
This genie who knew nothing about his beauty actually made such a charming gesture.
"Come here."
"Why?"
Emily looked so reluctant but her feet refused to obey her will.
As soon as she reached Franklin, she was pulled by Franklin on her wrist and fell on his lap with a cry.
Franklin put his arm around her waist and said vaguely in her ear, "There is also another saying in ancient times. One should give herself to the savior if she has nothing to repay the obligation. I don't need money but I really need a woman."
Emily suddenly blushed, "You're not that kind of savior who saves my life."
"Why I'm not? If I hadn't found out the truth, you would be so guilty. A person who has been sad for a long time will have died," Franklin argued.
Emily's heart was pounding, especially when Franklin's hot air sprayed on her face, making her cheeks irrepressibly ruddy.
It must have been because she was too upset and she was a little dizzy that her heart beat so fast and she had a feeling to fall now.
And her dizziness made her even slow to think. She had already shamelessly kissed Franklin's lips before she realized.
Franklin's eyes flashed with astonishment and then became gentle.
...
Emily seemed to have a ridiculous dream.
