"No need." Maggie immediately declined, saying, "When school finishes, I''ll still be at work. You can stay at your great-grandmother''s house. If you get bored, call your dad and have him take you out to eat." "Got it." Isabe replied obediently.


    Maggie added, "I have to go to work now. I''m hanging up."


    "Okay, bye Mom."


    Maggie ended the call.


    After having breakfast, she went to thepany.


    Although she had been busy all day yesterday, she was still very busy when she returned to work today.


    However, she left the office earlier than usual in the afternoon and went back to the Miller family''s house to have dinner with the olddy.


    When she arrived at the Rong family''s house, she found that the olddy seemed to be in a bad mood.


    Maggie noticed that there was no sign of Isabe in the living room. She guessed that Isabe had gone out to eat with Franklin and the others again.


    Maggie wasn''t particrly bothered by it, but the olddy did feel that Isabe was indeed quite clingy towards Franklin.


    She said earnestly, "Mag, once you finish your current work, you should spend more time with Isabe.


    Otherwise..."


    Maggie nodded perfunctorily and said, "I know, I will. Let''s eat first."


    The olddy didn''t say anything further.


    After dinner, Maggie chatted with the olddy for a while before going upstairs to rest.


    Around 9 p.m., when she came downstairs, the security booth outside indicated that there was a visitor.


    Maggie nced and saw that it was Franklin''s car.

    Maggie frowned. Before she could react, her phone rang


    It was Isabe''s call.


    The olddy had not gone to sleep yet, and when she came out of her room and saw what was happening, she realized that Franklin had brought Isabe back. She quickly told the security to let Franklin''s car in.


    Maggie picked up the phone and spoke to Isabe for a moment before hanging up.


    A momentter, Franklin''s car arrived at the Miller family''s vi gate.


    Isabe happily ran out of the car, "Mom, I''m back!"


    Maggie smiled faintly, and the olddy looked very pleased.


    The car door was still open, and Franklin was still sitting in the car. He got out, holding Isabe''s forgotten backpack and a cake box, walking toward Maggie and Isabe. Maggie didn''t say anything.


    Isabe suddenly remembered she had forgotten something and cheerfully told Franklin, "Thank you,


    Dad."


    "Mm." Franklin nced at Maggie and the olddy, greeting thetter, "Old Madam."


    The olddy merely nodded coldly. Maggie had no choice but to take the small cake from Franklin.


    Isabe was about to say the cake was delicious, but Maggie interrupted her and said, "Isabe, say goodbye to your dad."


    Isabe didn''t think much and asked, "Dad is leaving?"


    Franklin smiled slightly, "Mm."


    Isabe had no choice but to say, "Goodbye, Dad."


    "Goodbye." Franklin replied, nodded at the olddy, and turned to go back to his car.


    Maggie took the small cake and held Isabe''s hand as they went inside, showing no intention of seeing Franklin off.

    Franklin''s car quickly drove away.


    As soon as Isabe entered, she excitedly said, "Mom, Great-Grandmother, this is a small cake I got for you and Dad. It''s strawberry-vored, the one you like. Try it, okay?" Isabe smelled faintly of perfume, probably from Julia.


    Maggie ced the small cake aside and said, "Mom just had dinner, so I''m not hungry. Let''s leave it for


    now."


    The olddy also nodded in agreement.


    Isabe said, "Oh..."


    After cing the small cake in the fridge, Isabe went upstairs to take a shower. Just as she finished, her


    phone rang.


    It was a call from Franklin.


    Isabe answered the phone, "Dad?"


    Franklin replied, "I just got word that your grandfather will be back tomorrow afternoon. After school tomorrow, I''ll have someonee pick you up to go home for dinner. Let your mom know."


    Franklin''s father, Felix Wilson, worked in the government. His job kept him very busy, and he rarely had time to return home throughout the year. The day Old Lady Wilson fell, Felix rushed back at dawn, only to leave again before sunrise. Now that Old Lady Wilson was still in the hospital, Felix had taken a couple of days off in advance toe back and spend the New Year with her.


    After hearing this, Isabe responded, "Okay, I know."


    As she hung up, she suddenly realized that her father had said "pick you up" and not "pick you all up," implying that it was just her being picked up, not Maggie.


    She turned to Maggie and asked, "Mom, aren''t youing back with us for dinner?"


    In the past, whenever Felix came back, regardless of whether Franklin was there or not, Old Lady Wilson would always invite Maggie and Isabe to the old house for a family reunion.


    Since it happened quite often, even though Isabe was still young, she had the impression in her mind that "when Grandpaes back, we go to the old house for dinner."

    Maggie was about to speak when Franklin quickly interjected, "Your mom has something to do tomorrow."


    "Okay..." Isabe said. She had put the phone on speaker, so Maggie heard the entire conversation. Maggie hadn''t known about Felix''s return until now. She and Franklin were already going through the divorce process.


    Given her current situation, there was no longer any need for her to visit the Wilson family or meet Franklin''s rtives.


    Evidently, Franklin thought the same way. So, without waiting for her to respond, he had already made up an excuse for her not to return to the Wilson family. Franklin didn''t say anything further and quickly ended the call.
