Chapter 287

Back during the Chinese New Year, Maggie had left her phone on speaker to discuss matters with him for
several hours.
At the time, Isabella had been around.
Couldn’t she find his voice familiar?
But Johnny didn’t bring this up, instead just smiling and saying, “Oh, really?”
Isabella nodded and said, “Yes.”
Johnny: “Maybe it’s just that my voice is quite common.”
Franklin, who was nearby, heard this and touched his sharp nose, chuckling.
Johnny: **
What was so funny?
As more guests arrived, the Wilson family had to attend to other people, so Johnny and his family also took the hint and stopped conversing further with the Wilson family.
In the past, there had been rumors in social circles that Franklin had married and had children, but no one knew if they were true.
As more guests arrived, people began to notice the little girl who looked so much like Franklin, holding his hand and calling him “Dad.” It became clear that Franklin had indeed had a child.
As for whether he was married or divorced, that was still unknown. After all, the Wilson family hadn’t actively mentioned it, so the guests didn’t feel comfortable asking.
Rex had already met Isabella before, but he had never mentioned it to anyone. So when his childhood friend, Yves, saw Isabella, he was stunned and couldn’t help but exclaim,
“Damn, so Franklin really got married? And his kid is already this big! If Julia marries him, wouldn’t she have to play stepmother? A beauty like Julia playing stepmother, that’s-”
Yves was about to say that Julia was at a disadvantage but then remembered the difference between the Brown and Wilson families and the brilliance of Franklin. He quickly stopped himself.
If Julia married a man who was remarried with a child, she might be at a loss, but given the gap betwee their families, even if Franklin had a child, it was still considered an upgrade for Julia.
Moreover, since Franklin’s ex–wife gave birth to a daughter and not a son, the inheritance rights were n an issue. As long as Julia had a son in the future, everything would be settled.
So, whether Franklin had married or not, whether he had divorced, didn’t matter at all to Julia.
On the other hand, some guests were praising Johnny and saying, “Johnny is still so young, and Cole is already doing so well. Mrs. Gray, your son is truly a dragon among men.”
Hearing them praise Johnny, Mrs. Gray smiled widely but still modestly said, “You’re overpraising him. He’s just been lucky.”
This led some people to bring up Maggie, saying, “John is not young anymore. I see he and Miss Miller ar quite close. I wonder when we’ll hear some good news?”
Johnny and Maggie were not in a romantic relationship, but Mrs. Gray didn’t explain. She just smiled an said, “Well, that depends on how the young people arrange things themselves.”
To the others, Mrs. Gray’s words implied that if Maggie and Johnny made up their minds, she would arrange the wedding process right away.
At Old Mrs. Wilson’s birthday De Harry and Levi naturally wouldn’t miss it. They were seated not
far from Mrs. Gray.
Because they overheard the conversation about Maggie, they couldn’t help but listen in.
Though Maggie and Johnny had been close over the past six months, Levi never thought that Maggie could marry into the Gray family.
After all, Longmo was doing so well, and Johnny was a man with both family background and ability. What kind of woman couldn’t he find? Why would he marry a woman who had been married before, had a child, and came from an average background?
However, now that he heard Mrs. Gray’s words, it seemed like she was truly in favor of Maggie marrying into the Gray family.
Levi was shocked and looked at Harry. “The Gray family… is okay with this?”
Harry replied, “They probably know everything.”
Levi frowned. “Then why are they still-”
