Chapter 233

Since it was a matter of gender, Harry politely said, “Sorry to trouble you”
Maggie responded, “No trouble at all.”
A while later, when they came out of the restroom, a little boy was walking out of the men’s restroom. When he saw Maggie and Daisy, he immediately recognized them.
Maggie and Daisy quickly blended into the crowd and returned to their seats to continue watching the movie.
“Mom,” the boy said, walking up to Maria,
“I’m done. Let’s go,” he added.
It was none other than Maria’s son, David.
David didn’t like Maggie. Even though they had just crossed paths, he didn’t call out to anyone.
At the same time, María, who had been talking on the phone, hadn’t noticed Maggie either.
However, after a while, David, feeling a bit bored, brought up Maggie to his mother, saying, “Mom, I just
saw Aunt Miller.”
María wasn’t paying much attention. “Oh? Really?”
“Yeah,” David confirmed. “She was with another little kid, but it wasn’t Isabella, your niece.”
María still wasn’t very concerned. “Is that so?”
Her indifferent response revealed that she didn’t really care much about Maggie.
Hearing this, she assumed it must have been a child from the Miller family, so she didn’t think much of it.
After leaving the cinema, they headed to the Wilson family’s old house.
By the time they arrived, Felix had already returned and was hosting guests at home with Franklin.
David, still a little afraid of Franklin, greeted him obediently, saying, “Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle.”
Isabella was sitting nearby, focused on playing with a puzzle.
After greeting them, María told David to go play with Isabella.
David walked over, calling out, “Isabella, cousin.”
Isabella looked up and smiled. “You’re here?”
David sat down beside her and started working on the puzzle, “I went to the movies with Mom, and I saw your mom there.“.
Isabella, who had been concentrating on the puzzle, immediately looked up, startled,
“You saw my mom? Where?”
“In the cinema.” Davidg replied.
Isabella pouted, “No way! My mom is so busy, she doesn’t have time to go to the movies. You must have
seen someone else.”
David, a little upset by her disbelief, retorted, “I didn’t see wrong! That person was definitely your mom,”
“You’re lying!” Isabella insisted, refusing to believe him,
She had called her mom the night before and again in the morning, but her mom hadn’t picked up. There was no way she would have time to go watch a movie,
Tm not lying,” David argued, feeling increasingly upset. “And your mom wasn’t alone. She was with another little kid, about your height, super cute!”
At this point, Isabella’s temper flared. She grabbed a puzzle piece and stood up angrily, throwing it at
David. “No way! You stop lying!”
David, who was just telling the truth, was confused as to why Isabella didn’t believe him and why she was so angry. He, too, was upset now and grabbed a piece of the puzzle, throwing it back at Isabella, yelling, “I’m not lying!”
“Enough!”
The shouting and commotion from the two children attracted the attention of everyone in the living room, and soon, Franklin and the others heard the noise.
Stella was the first to rush over.
David, with tears welling in his eyes, explained, “I just said-”
“Hmph!” Isabella, also with tears in her eyes, pouted and ran straight to the living room, shouting,
“Daddy!”
Franklin saw her rush over and immediately bent down to scoop her up into his arms.
After greeting the guests, he carried Isabella out of the living room and away from the noise. He finally asked, “What’s going on?”
Isabella was about to recount what David had said, but before she could get the words out, her tears started to fall. She suddenly realized that her mom was now spending time with other children, children who were even cuter than her, and the emotions overwhelmed her.
