Franklin neither agreed nor disagreed. He just looked at her with a sullen gaze and said nothing.
Emily was finally defeated by his gaze and said helplessly, "Okay. Fine. I'll just go shopping with you. I
really don't know that you even like to go shopping."
One shall know that he didn't like to go shopping four years ago. Let alone ask him to go shopping with
her, even if she went shopping and asked him to pick her up, he was not likely to be happy to do that!
Sure enough, a lot of things had changed in the past four years, and he had changed into a totally
different person.
But Franklin didn't know what she was complaining about. Seeing that she agreed, he happily took her
to go shopping.
The two of them went to a new mall in the city center. Because of its better location and it was a newly-
opened one, many people went here to go shopping although most of the things here were products of
big brands which could hardly be afforded by ordinary people.
But since it didn't cost them money to look at the things here, a lot of people came here.
Franklin took Emily to go shopping on one floor after another. Behind them were the two bodyguards
who could help carry things. Unlike four years ago, Emily dared to spend his money when she was
shopping now. So when she saw something she liked, she bought it without any hesitation.
However, Franklin still looked very happy and would give her a comment from time to time.
Although he looked down on most of the things here, he would ask people to pay if she wanted them.
After going shopping on three floors, the two bodyguards had got their hands full. Emily took a look at
things she bought which were carried by the bodyguards. Then, she said mercifully, "Let's find a place
to drink something and let them put these things in the car first!"
Franklin nodded and asked Emily, "What do you want to drink?"
Emily thought about it and pointed to the Starbucks next to them, "Go there and have coffee!"
Franklin nodded and followed her in.
After entering, Franklin found a table and sat down, waiting for someone to bring over the coffee.
Emily was speechless. She sighed and stood up. She walked over to queue up, ordered two cups of
coffee, and brought them over.
"Have you never been to a place like this?" Emily asked.
Franklin's face froze, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, it's my first time here."
"How rich are you? What about when you were still a student? Didn't people say that the children of
rich families would be like the child of ordinary people when they went to school? Are you a man who is
so different from others?" Emily teased.
She remembered that Lucas had told her before that even though his family was rich, he was still the
same as everyone else when he went to school. But he studied in a private primary and junior high
school first. After that, he entered a key high school and then went abroad to receive high education.
So he knew the usual dating process, and he could even do things like cooking.
Moreover, he told her that many children from rich families could actually endure hardship. They may
even endure more than those from poor families. Because the elders in the family would deliberately
train them to suffer some hardships, so that they knew that happiness was not easy to get. Unless they
were that kind of children who were pampered by their mother. While basically, this kind of children
would not be able to achieve much when they grew up.
But Franklin shouldn't be like that kind of person. One could know that just by looking at his figure.
He looked thin when he wore clothes while he looked strong when he was naked. He was no different
from the man four years ago. Apart from years of constant physical exercise, she really didn't expect
anything else to be able to keep a person in such a good shape for such a long time.
"I hadn't been to school officially. I'd always been taught by private teachers," Franklin said faintly.
Emily was speechless.
The corners of her mouth twitched. Poverty almost limited her imagination. She didn't expect that Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
things could go on like this.
"I remembered hearing Lucas say that people like you don't have to get good grades. But you have to
get into that circle. That's why you were sent to schools. You can make more friends in schools. And
going abroad must happen after your graduation after high school just for fear of breaking the domestic
networks. If you don't go to school, aren't you afraid that you won't be like others and your networks will
be cut off?" Emily asked in surprise.
Franklin said faintly, "That's him. I don't need to do that. I don't need to please anyone, and I don't need
to deliberately make friends. From the day I was born, I was destined to be the heir to the Brent
Family."
The corner of Emily's mouth twitched, "Okay! I had my view of the important overshadowed by the
trivial ."
"Are you rested? Do you want to continue shopping?" Franklin asked.
Emily took a sip of coffee, but when she saw that Franklin did not move and he was urging her to leave,
she could not help but frown.
"You didn't even drink it."
"I don't want to drink."
"Why? I bought the most expensive one." Emily said quickly.
Franklin frowned, took a look at the coffee, and couldn't help but put it down.
Today was the day off, and there were still a lot of people around. And a large number of people who
were all students came in and began to find seats.
If there were no seats, they would find someone to share the table with them. Just as Emily and
Franklin were sitting in a four-person seat, two girls immediately sat over without greetings.
"Wow. So handsome." The two girls looked at Franklin in a daze.
Franklin frowned even more.
One of the girls pointed at him and said, "He looks so familiar. Is he a star? Can he sign for me?"
"He is not a star. He looks like the richest man. Oh, he really is!" Another girl recognized Franklin and
began to scream.
It didn't matter when she didn't scream. But just as she screamed, immediately, a group of people
rushed over. They all pointed at Franklin. They even took out their phones to take photos.
Franklin's face darkened immediately. He stood up at once and pulled Emily out.
Those people still wanted to chase after him. Emily panicked as she saw this. She regretted letting the
two bodyguards leave. Otherwise, someone else would stop those people.
She didn't care. But Franklin was all that matter.
He was a man with such an identity. If he was caught like this and dating her, she didn't know what kind
of public opinion pressure would be caused. After all, he had a fiancee and was a man who was about
to get married. Besides, he was so rich that it was inevitable that she would be hated by others.
She didn't expect that just as she was about to stand up and stop those people who blocked the way of
Franklin, a few men in black came from nowhere and stood in those people's way. Then a few more
men in black escorted them away.
"You actually brought so many bodyguards?" Emily was escorted by these people into the elevator with
Franklin and then they went straight to the underground garage.
Franklin held her in one hand and hugged her in his arms. He said faintly, "I didn't have to do like this
before, but now many people are watching us. So, just in case, I did this. The most important thing is
that I'm afraid that you will run again."
"So there are other bodyguards besides those two bodyguards just now?" Emily asked in surprise.
She thought to herself that it was a fortune that they encountered today's incident. Otherwise, she had
always thought that there were only two bodyguards following her. Otherwise, she would never know
what would happen to her if she really wanted to run away.
"You won't stay by my side peacefully and obediently." Franklin suddenly said in a cold way.
Emily was stunned and quickly smiled, "How is that possible? You're thinking too much."
She leaned her face against his arms and she was already drenched in cold sweat because of his
words.
