Chapter 236
Franklin didn't participate in the divorce lawsuit. Emily and her mother came out, and the driver waited
at the door in his car.
First, she and her mother thanked Mr. Smith, then her old classmate, and then she helped her mother
into the car.
She didn't expect that Franklin, who didn't come, would be in the car. Emily was shocked, and Abigail
was even more shocked.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say you were busy today?" Emily asked.
Franklin said indifferently, "After everything was settled, I decided to take a look. How's it going? Are
you satisfied with the result?"
Emily nodded, her eyes shining, and she said happily, "Yes, of course, I'm very satisfied. I really didn't
expect Mr. Smith to be so good. It's really unexpected. You didn't even see how bad that scum Hunter
looked when he came out. It was so gratifying."
Franklin looked at her happy face and couldn't help but smile.
Abigail sat awkwardly by the side. It didn't matter if Franklin was still her son-in-law. But the thing was
that they were divorced, and Franklin had a fiancee. It made her feel very uncomfortable that they were
like this.
But it was hard for her to point it out in front of Franklin. Emily was just grateful to Mr. Smith and didn't
think about that.
But she knew that it would not have gone so smoothly without Franklin. Even if they had the ability to
hire Mr. Smith, they still had to rely on Franklin for the evidence and other matters.
So she just sat there without saying a word and watched her daughter being silly.
Emily asked the driver to send them to the hotel first, and her mother was still staying at the hotel for
the time being.
Although the house was taken back, Abigail did not intend to go back to live in it. It was a sad place,
and it would only add to her sadness if she returned.
"Why don't you sell that house? Then you can get a down payment and buy one somewhere else."
Emily suggested.
Abigail nodded and said, "Well, that's a good idea. I have thought about that."
"I do have a house available. If auntie doesn't mind, you can stay there for a while. You can always
move out there if you find a better choice in the future. It takes time to buy a house." Franklin said.
Abigail said awkwardly, "Mr. Brent, you're so thoughtful. Thank you for your kindness. But... I'll have to
discuss this with Emily. You're a busy man, and I don't dare to delay you for too long. Don't mind me if
you have something to attend to!"
Franklin chuckled, for it was obvious that she was driving him away!
Emily also noticed it and looked at Franklin uneasily, afraid that he would lose his temper.
She wouldn't worry about it in the past. But ever since he came back, Franklin's temper had changed. If
he lost his temper and said something bad to his mother, what would she do then?
Fortunately, Franklin only nodded after chuckling and then really left.
Emily secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not lose his temper.
Abigail looked at her with mixed feelings and said quietly, "Emily, what's going on between you and
him?"
Emily pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, "Mom, I didn't want to tell you about this. But now that you
mentioned it, I'll explain. I'm only by his side for the time being. But he won't let me go, I have no
choice. I was worried about what you would do if I left. After all, you still have Hunter. If Hunter doesn't
leave, you definitely can't leave. If Franklin can't find me, he will definitely come after you. Now that you
divorce Hunter, I'm relieved. Take this opportunity. Sell that house and live somewhere else! Find out
where do you want to go. Take a look first and then settle down, far from Lancaster."
"Do you mean I should leave Lancaster and hide somewhere else?" Abigail said in surprise.
Emily pursed her lips and nodded in pain.
"Mom, I'm sorry. Not only did I not let you live a comfortable life, but you'll have to leave Lancaster and
live somewhere else. It's all my fault."
"Silly girl, what are you talking about? Are you going to find a chance to secretly run away from Franklin
in the future?" Abigail asked again.
Emily nodded.
Abigail moved her lips and finally sighed. After a while, she said, "I understand. Don't worry. I'll sell the
house soon. Then I'll take the money and go somewhere else. You don't have to worry about me. I'll let
you know when I settle down. If you need a place in the future, you can still look for me there. I didn't
expect that we would end up in the same way. We have to hide... And have to leave home."
"Mom, are you trying to avoid my biological father?" Emily asked in surprise.
Abigail nodded and couldn't help but shed tears.
Emily could not help but sigh. In the past, she always wondered why her mother left her biological
father. After all, they were husband and wife, and they had children. Why couldn't they figure things
out?
But now she understood that there were too many problems that couldn't be solved. Empathy and love
weren't the solutions to everything.
Some things were like a dead knot. If they couldn't be undone, the only thing you could do was to
escape.
"Don't be sad. It's my fault for letting you run away for me twice in your life." Emily hugged her mother's
shoulder again.
Abigail patted her on the back to comfort her, but Abigail couldn't help but feel sad herself.
However, Abigail was very experienced in doing this. At that time, she was pregnant with Emily, and
she still had a lot to worry about. But now it was different. There was nothing to be concerned about.
So with Emily's help, she quickly sold the house and got the money. Then she decided where she
wanted to go and took the money with her.
The day before she left, Abigail asked Emily to bring Bryce to her.
Looking at Bryce's small face, Abigail could not help but sigh again. She touched his small face and
said, "Bryce, you must listen to your mother. Grandma has to leave now. When you and mom have
time, you can come and visit grandma together."
Bryce already knew that she was his mother's mother. Although he didn't feel close to her, he still
nodded obediently.
Abigail could not help but feel awkward when she saw such a smiling face, which was so cute, instead
of that devilish look. Awkwardly, she said, "That's great. What a good child. Grandma will miss you
when she is away."
After that, she did not dare to look at Bryce again and turned to her daughter, Emily.
Emily had always felt that her mother's attitude towards her son was strange, but she couldn't tell.
However, she didn't think much about it. After a few words with her mother, she was relieved after
seeing her getting into the car.
After the car left, she led Bryce away.
But when she walked out of the station, she always felt that someone was following her. When she
stopped and turned around, that someone would disappear again.
Emily frowned uneasily.
Bryce held her hand and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Emily shook her head, afraid that her son would be afraid, so she smiled and said, "It's okay. Let's go to
aunty's house."
