She woke up the next morning, and when she got up and hugged her doll to look for Maggie, she asked, “Mom, have you not slept at all?<b>” </b>
Maggie casually replied, “Hmm, you go ahead and sleep, don’t mind me.”
Isabe: “.”
She had already woken up.
“Mom, you’re not sleeping? Aren’t you tired?”
Maggie: “Hmm.”
Seeing that Maggie was frowning, as though she felt she was disturbing her, Isabe had originally nned to ask if she was hungry, but she didn’t say anything in the end. Instead, she quietly went to wash up.
After being busy for more than a day and night, Maggie finally finished recording the content that needed to be documented. After sending it to Johnny, she went downstairs for breakfast.
After reading the materials she sent, Johnny was so excited that his hands shook. “This is it, exactly! Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!”
Maggie rubbed her aching forehead and said, “I’m going to sleep for a bit, I’ll talk to youter.”
“Okay.”
Maggie slept until after 5 p.m.
When she woke up, she saw Isabe ying Sudoku on the carpet in her room.
When she saw that Maggie had woken up, Isabe stood up and asked, “Mom, you’re awake?”
Maggie responded, “Mhm.”
“Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?”
Maggie paused for a moment. “Thank you.”

After Isabe poured her a ss of water, she returned to her game.
Maggie looked at her little figure and realized that she had been so busy with work over the past few days that she had been neglecting her.
But today was thest day of her break.
Tomorrow, she would have to go back to work at Cole, and she would have even less time to spend with
Isabe,
Thinking about that, she spoke up, “Isabe.*
Isabe turned around. “What’s up, Mom?”
“When is your dading back?”
Isabe replied, “Dad said not so soon.” Then she asked, “Mom, do you need something from Dad?”
Maggie didn’t say anything<b>, </b>just replied, “No, you go y.”
“Okay.”
After drinking the water, Maggie sent a message to Franklin.
[When will you be back? I have to go back to work tomorrow and won’t have time to take care of Isabe. Can youe and pick her up?]
She sent the message and waited for more than half an hour before Franklin finally replied.
[I’ll be back in two days.]
Maggie saw the message but didn’t reply.
After dinner, Isabe went out for a walk with Mrs. Miller, and after Maggie went upstairs, Johnny’s call
came in.
As they were discussing and organizing some opinions, Maggie was on speakerphone while talking to Johnny,
When Isabe returned from her walk and heard Maggie on the phone, she noticed the voice didn’t sound familiar. She felt a little unhappy and couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, who are you talking to on the phone?”

Maggie replied, “A friend of mine.”
Isabe responded with a simple, “Oh…”
Johnny heard Isabe’s voice but didn’t speak up.
He didn’t mention that he had met her when she was younger, and he had even held her at that <b>time</b>.
Maggie and Johnny kept talking on the phone until after 10 p.m. before they finally ended the call.
The next day, Maggie officially went back to work at Cole.
Since thepany started developing the two projects she worked onst year, they had been
short–staffed.
At the end ofst year, they had already nned to recruit more people.
However, both she and Johnny had been so busy that they hadn’t had time to follow up.
The recruitment matter was urgent, so on her first day back, Maggie immediately started arranging it.
Franklin had previously told her he’d be back in two days.
But three or four days passed, and he still hadn’t returned.
It wasn’t until the fifth day, while Maggie was still at work, that she received a call from Isabe. “Mom, Dad’s back. He sent someone to pick me up.”
“Okay, I know,” Maggie said. “Make sure you pack your things and don’t leave anything behind.”
Isabe happily responded, “Got it!”
After that, Isabe asked, “Mom, will youe to see me off?”
Maggie still had a lot of work to do.
She wanted to decline.
But recently, because of her work, she hadn’t been able to spend much time with Isabe.
Moreover, after this time<b>, </b>Isabe would probably not think about her for a while, so she agreed<b>, </b>saying, “Okay, Mom wille right away.”

Isabe happily responded, “Mhm!”
Johnny had also returned from his business trip.
Since Maggie was tired from work, if she wanted to leave early to rest, he had no objections.
However…
He snorted. “Franklin dropped the child and went on his honeymoon with that woman, dying his return by several days. He doesn’t feel guilty, but you, the mother without custody, feel guilty when you neglect the child for a bit?
I see, Franklin is relying on your soft heart, that’s why he dares to act like this and break his promises while leaving the child with you.”
