Chapter 1040
Elaine played dumb: "What? I'm all alone here.”
Franklin, obviously unconvinced, spoke with an expressionless face, "What are you doing here all alone”
Elaine lifted the little puppy in her arms and began to make things up: °! was taking care of him here, and I accidentally fell asleep, and then I heard you calling me.’
Franklin's face sank, swept a glance at the dog in her arms, and looked at her again, his eyebrows couldn't help but jump, his expression became even more ugly.
Elaine just wanted to get out of this battlefield, she turned around and put the dog into the maid's arms: "You give it to Darnell for me, take care of it ah.”
Saying that, she hastily tugged her father's arm and pulled him out: "Dad, come on, I'm sleepy, I want to go home and sleep!"
Franklin said, "Didn't you sleep all afternoon”
Elaine: "......”
She said, “I was wrong, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, go home and eat!”
“Doesn't Darnell have any food here?”
Elaine was stunned, "Huh?"
Franklin took a few steps forward and sat down in the sofa: “Just in time, I haven't eaten dinner either, let's eat together and go back.”
“Dad ......"
Franklin said, “Aren't you hungry? What a waste of time to go back.”
Elaine never expected him to do this, and was in a dilemma when Darnell's voice came from the second floor, ordering the maids, "Go prepare dinner."
The maid nodded slightly and turned to leave.
Elaine gave Damell a desperate wink, but to no avail.
She was just about to say something when Franklin said, "Sit down.
Elaine was so shocked by this tone of her dad's voice that she immediately sat down next to him.
Darnell came downstairs and sat across from them.
Franklin slowly spoke up: “Elaine, although this is your uncle's house, you can't be rude, and you can't just fall asleep like you did today.”
When he spoke, he was looking at Darnell.
The word “uncle” was especially emphasized. From NôvelDrama.Org.
Darnell looked frank, his expression did not change in the slightest.
Elaine retorted with discontent, “Dad, what are you talking about, when did my mom have a brother”
Franklin “hissed” and turned his head to look at her with a frown.
Elaine moved to the side, mouth continued: “It is, that is the nominal call, and not really”
"Then how, one day is a teacher for life, you call him a day uncle, then he is your ...... lifetime”
“Then why didn't you think of that when you asked me to marry him’
Franklin: "....."
He coughed and turned the tables on Darnell again, "I thought you said you were the only one here, so when did he come back’
Etaine was about to rack her brain and continue to make things up when Damell spoke up lightly: “I just got back, Elaine slept in the guest room and didn’t know.”
Franklin's face is full of the words, "Do you see what I believe?
It didn't take long for the maid to come up and tell them dinner was ready, slightly breaking the tense and awkward atmosphere.
Yet it wasn't much better when sitting at the dinner table.
Franklin didn't eat much the whole time, just looked at Darnell coldly, while Darnell was not affected in the slightest, but instead whispered as Elaine bit into her chopsticks and looked left and right, “Eat well.”
Elaine immediately lowered her head and concentrated on picking up her food.
Franklin, seeing this, was even more dissatisfied, and he coughed heavily, thus demonstrating his dignity as a father.
Elaine lifted her head and asked in a small voice, "Daddy, is your throat uncomfortable, is it a cold? It's quite cold with the temperature dropping these two days, you should wear more ......"
Franklin: °....."
He gave Elaine a no-nonsense look, “Eat your dinner.”
Elaine gave an "oh" and lowered her head again.
The meal was not a good match for both sides’ auras, but it didn't stop Elaine from eating at all.
At first it was a littte hard to eat, but at the back, she focused all her attention on the plate of sweet and sour pork in front of her: “This is so delicious!"
Damell said, "If you like it, come over later and have them make it for you”
Franklin snorted, "When we get back, I'l have the best chef in the world come and make you whatever you want to eat.”
"...... don't bother so much, I'll just come here to eat ......"
Franklin put down his chopsticks, “Are you done eating? When you're done, go home.”
Elaine took another bite of the ribs: "There, there.”
As she walked, she turned her head and waved goodbye to Damell.
Franklin, fearing a repeat of last night's scene, immediately took her by the hand and forcibly dragged her out.
The corner of Darnell's mouth lifted as he watched the scene.
When they left, the maid came over with the little puppy in her arms: “Master of Riverside, this is brought by Miss James, what should we do with it?”
Darnell withdrew his gaze: “Feed him something, and when you're done with him, bring it to my room.”
“Okay.”
Darnell returned to the bedroom, walked over to the couch, and picked up the backpack Elaine had left on the floor.
The zipper of the backpack was not opened, and several books fell down with a sound.
Darnell crouched on one leg and knee, picked up the books one by one and put them in, his eyes finally fell on an envelope. Meanwhile, the car.
Knowing that her dad was pissed off today, Elaine consciously leaned against the window and distanced herself from him.
She whispered, “Daddy, I'm sorry, I know it's wrong .....”
“You know you're wrong and you just won't change?”
Elaine retorted, “But I already like him, and you let us get married before, and now you won't let me be with him, Dad, you're really weird”
"L.....” Franklin almost lost his breath, “Elaine, Dad let you marry him before because I still had the ability to protect you, but now ......"
Elaine blinked, “Now what?"
Franklin swallowed his words and swallowed them back.
After a while, he spoke up, “Elaine, did you go to my study today?”
Elaine nodded.
Franklin added, “! have a few books on my desk, have you ...... seen them?”
At that, Elaine suddenly remembered something: "I put it in my school bag!"
“Where's the book bag?”
“Forgot my book bag at Damell's .....”
Franklin rubbed his brow, “Forget it.”
Etaine immediately said, “Dad, are those books important? I'll get them back for you first thing in the morning!"
“It's not important! You stay at home tomorrow and don't go anywhere!”
Elaine bristled, “That's fine”
Franklin was going to say something, but turned his head and saw Elaine's slightly swollen mouth, and instantly did not want to say anything, sitting alone in his seat and sulking.
And Elaine was in a happy mood, humming along without noticing anything.
