Chapter 228

“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.” Isabella 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 the company.
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 old lady.
When she arrived at the Rong family’s house, she found that the old lady seemed to be in a bad mood.
Maggie noticed that there was no sign of Isabella in the living room. She guessed that Isabella had gone out to eat with Franklin and the others again.
Maggie wasn’t particularly bothered by it, but the old lady did feel that Isabella was indeed quite clingy towards Franklin.
She said earnestly, “Mag, once you finish your current work, you should spend more time with Isabella.
Otherwise…”
Maggie nodded perfunctorily and said, “I know, I will. Let’s eat first.”
The old lady didn’t say anything further.
After dinner, Maggie chatted with the old lady 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 glanced and saw that it was Franklin’s car.
Mr. CEO, Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a long Time
Maggie frowned. Before she could react, her phone rang
It was Isabella’s call.
The old lady 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 Isabella back.
She quickly told the security to let Franklin’s car in.
Maggie picked up the phone and spoke to Isabella for a moment before hanging up.
A moment later, Franklin’s car arrived at the Miller family’s villa gate.
Isabella happily ran out of the car, “Mom, I’m back!”
Maggie smiled faintly, and the old lady looked very pleased.
The car door was still open, and Franklin was still sitting in the car. He got out, holding Isabella’s forgotten backpack and a cake box, walking toward Maggie and Isabella.
Maggie didn’t say anything.
Isabella suddenly remembered she had forgotten something and cheerfully told Franklin, “Thank you,
“Mm.” Franklin glanced at Maggie and the old lady, greeting the latter, “Old Madam.”
The old lady merely nodded coldly. Maggie had no choice but to take the small cake from Franklin.
Isabella was about to say the cake was delicious, but Maggie interrupted her and said, “Isabella, say goodbye to your dad.”
Isabella didn’t think much and asked, “Dad is leaving?”
Franklin smiled slightly, “Mm.”
Isabella had no choice but to say, “Goodbye, Dad.”
“Goodbye.” Franklin replied, nodded at the old lady, and turned to go back to his car.
Maggie took the small cake and held Isabella’s hand as they went inside, showing no intention of seeing Franklin off.
Franklin’s car quickly drove away.
As soon as Isabella entered, she excitedly said, “Mom, Great–Grandmother, this is a small cake I got for you and Dad. It’s strawberry–flavored, the one you like. Try it, okay?”
Isabella smelled faintly of perfume, probably from Julia.
Maggie placed the small cake aside and said, “Mom just had dinner, so I’m not hungry. Let’s leave it for
The old lady also nodded in agreement.
Isabella said, “Oh…”
After placing the small cake in the fridge, Isabella went upstairs to take a shower. Just as she finished, her
phone rang.
It was a call from Franklin.
Isabella answered the phone, “Dad?”
