Hello, Mr. Brent

Chapter 273

The butler said in surprise, "Madam, are you going out? Does Mr. Brent know?"

Emily was stunned. She then scowled and said, "What? Do I have to report to him and get his

permission when I go out?"

The butler immediately lowered his head and said, "Of course not. It's just that Mr. Brent really cares

about you. Before he left, he enjoined us to take good care of you. If you want to go out, I'll arrange for

a car and bodyguards for you right now, just in case."

Emily frowned. If the driver gave her a ride and the bodyguards followed, Franklin would definitely know

about her meeting with Alan. If Alan was irritated and didn't tell her about her son, then all her efforts

would be wasted.

Moreover, Franklin might be mad as well when he knew that she had been in contact with Alan.

Therefore, she must not let the driver give her a ride.

"No need. I don't need the driver. I'll drive myself." Emily said without hesitation.

The butler looked at her in shock.

Emily was annoyed and took out her phone to call Franklin.

"Did you tell the butler to keep an eye on me? You ordered them to follow me wherever I go. Don't I

have freedom?" Emily asked sharply.

Franklin was in a meeting and was stunned to hear what she said. Then he stood up and walked out

the door to answer, "Why? I've never asked them to do so. Are you going out?"

"Yes, I want to go out, but the butler said he would arrange a car and bodyguards for me, or he

wouldn't let me out."

The butler was sweating and wailing in his heart, "Madam, please, I didn't say that."

Franklin smiled and comforted her, "He might have misunderstood me. I was afraid that something

might happen to you, so I specifically told him to make such arrangements when you go out. I did that

to protect you. I didn't mean to restrict your movement."

"But I want to drive myself," Emily said.

Franklin frowned and asked, "You drive yourself? Where do you want to go?"

"Just hang out with my old friends. It's so embarrassing to have people follow me. I don't want that,"

Emily said irritably.

Franklin thought that the two of them had just gotten married and it was not appropriate to argue about

such a thing.

So he agreed, "Okay, as you wish! But when you get there, send me a message. If anything happens,

call Lisa immediately and ask her to pick you up."

"I see. Don't worry. I'll be fine." Emily knew that Franklin was worried about her and could not help but

soften her tone.

After the call, Emily said to the butler, "Mr. Brent has promised me to drive out by myself. Do you want

to call him again to confirm?"

The butler shook his head and responded, "Of course not. Please forgive me, madam."

Emily knew that he was only following Franklin's words and was concerned about her safety, so she

sighed and comforted him, "I don't blame you. It's your duty. Thank you for concerning me."

After that, Emily went out and found a low-key car to drive out.

In the past, the cars in Franklin's garage befitted his status and temperament. Even if there were a few

more fashionable luxury cars, they were meant for a man's temperament. This time, Emily noticed that

there were a few more cars suitable for women and even a sports car in the garage.

She didn't like cars that were too conspicuous, so she chose an understated one.

When she arrived at the coffee shop, Emily parked the car. She took out her cell phone and sent

Franklin a message saying that she had arrived safely so that he wouldn't have to worry.

When she went over and gave her name, a servant immediately led her to a private room.

She saw that Alan was already sitting inside by the time she pushed the door open.

Emily walked in and sat opposite him. The servant closed the door for them thoughtfully.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were here so early." Emily looked at the time. She was not late. She was even

a few minutes early.

However, she did not expect Alan to arrive earlier than her, and he had half a cup of coffee in front of

him. It seemed that he had been waiting for quite a long time.

Alan said without expression, "It's okay. I'm not busy anyway. I don't work here, just staying here for

relaxation."

At this time, the servant knocked on the door and brought Emily a cup of coffee.

After the servant left, Emily asked anxiously, "Where is my son?"

Alan smiled bitterly and said, "Why so urgent? We haven't seen each other for so many years. Don't

you want to ask me about my situation?"

Emily thought to herself, "I'm here to find out where my son is. Who cares about your situation?"

However, afraid of provoking him, she still said patiently, "I think you are living a good life now. You and

Miss Lewis are also very much in love. I can tell that you are happy without asking."

"Happiness is not something that your eyes can tell. I'm not living well, not at all." Alan forced a smile

and lowered his eyes as if he was really unhappy.

Emily's used to be depressed when she saw Alan's gloomy look. The melancholy male characters in

romantic dramas usually wrung women's withers, and Emily was no exception at that time.

However, after suffering all those things, Emily felt disgusted to see Alan like this now.

If he was really a sentimental and melancholy person, it would be fine. Now that she knew that he was

a man of tricks, he still pretended to be the victim in front of her. In fact, he was more hateful than

Andrew.

Emily couldn't say anything unpleasant to reveal his true colors yet.

She could only look away with a sullen face, trying not to look at him, not to be disgusted by his

appearance.

Alan said so much, but he saw that Emily was indifferent, and she was even unwilling to look at him.

He smiled bitterly, "It seems that you really don't have any good feelings for me anymore, even the

sympathy for a friend. I am not a patch on a stranger."

Emily couldn't stand the way he was pesky, so she finally said, "Can you stop talking about these

unimportant things? You know how much I want to know about my son's whereabouts. That's why I'm

here today. I'm not here to hear you say these disgusting words."

"Emily, do you really not like me at all now?" Not only did Alan not come to realize the truth, but he

continued to ask.

Emily was almost speechless and replied righteously, "Not now, never before. I used to treat you as a

friend, but you failed me." NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Okay, I see." Alan forced a smile.

Emily took a deep breath and asked again, "Since you know, don't say these irrelevant things. Let me

ask you again, do you know where my son is, or are you just lying to me?"

"Of course I know, but the child is not with me. He is with Andrew." Alan answered.
