"Okay, I'll let her attend. Tomorrow I'll send her to you. Please teach her what to do," Franklin said slowly.
Emily looked at him in shock, "Why did you agree with her?"
She thought that Franklin would oppose the suggestion. After all, Mrs. Brent's attitude towards her was very clear. If she went there, that would be like asking the fox to spare the chicken.
But her objections were ignored by everyone.
Mrs. Brent moved her lips slightly and finally smiled with satisfaction, "You haven't forgotten your identity and responsibility. Since you've agreed, let her come to me tomorrow!"
With that, Mrs. Brent stood up and left with Ivy.
"Why did you agree?" As soon as Mrs. Brent left, Emily rushed to Franklin and questioned him.
Franklin pinched her cheek and said, "Why, are you still afraid of her? I think you're quite audacious. There is no woman who has ever been so arrogant to my mother."
"Am I arrogant? You think too highly of me. But I'm really afraid of your mother. Why did you agree? I know nothing about managing the household. I am afraid that your mother probably doesn't really want to teach me! It's possible for her to play tricks on me." Emily yelled.
"She's my mother, and that's a fact that can't be changed. Sooner or later, you'll be faced with her, and I think she's right. If you don't learn about household affairs, you'll never understand how to do it. You're my wife, the mistress of the Brents. In the future, you will have to be responsible for all the affairs in the Brents. If you don't learn now, will you let her take charge of them instead of you forever?"
"Who has told you that I want to spend the rest of my life with you?" Emily said in a strained voice.
Franklin looked sullen, "Otherwise, do you have other ideas?"
Emily thought that she didn't have any other ideas, it was he who had some thoughts!
"If there is something wrong with our marriage, all of my efforts will be in vain," Emily muttered.
Franklin said, "Rest assured, your efforts will count. If something happens, I'll hire you to be my housekeeper. It may not be easy for someone like you to find a job when you leave me. If you learn the skills well, they will be very useful.
Emily, "..."
Emily curved her lips and looked at him speechlessly. So, this was what he had been thinking about!
It was surprising that he had considered to hire her as a housekeeper if they got divorced. Did he ask her to learn such skills to protect Miss Lewis?
That's right, it was unnecessary for Miss Lewis to know about these things. It would be good if someone had learned about them instead of her. Franklin really cared much about his beloved.
"That's it. You don't have to go to work tomorrow. I'll let the driver take you to the house. You'll learn from my mother. Of course, if she deliberately makes difficulties or teases you, you can fight back. Don't forget that I'm your support." Franklin was obviously not used to saying things like that. He coughed softly with a blush on his face when it came to the last sentence.
Unfortunately, Emily didn't feel the concern in his words. All she could think about was that Franklin was caring about his beloved. She stared at him with great anger, but she was sad and could do nothing else.
Joyce called her, saying that she had contacted the buyer and asked Emily to meet him.
Emily dressed herself up sadly and left the house. When Emily met up with Joyce, Joyce hugged Emily and asked, "I have finished the task you gave me. It is up to you to clinch the deal later. What about mine? Have you finished writing the love letter?"
"What, didn't Sebastian look for you?" Emily was surprised.
Emily thought Sebastian would call Joyce if he couldn't get through to Emily's phone after hearing the news.
Joyce said with a blank face, "Why did he look for me? Have you already told him about it?"
"Absolutely not." Emily quickly denied it when she saw that Joyce was nervous.
