Chapter 288

Before he could finish, he suddenly stopped, as if realizing something. He said, “So, Maggie really likes Johnny now and no longer loves Franklin?”
Before Harry could respond, Levi quickly added, “No wonder she was so calm when Franklin wanted to divorce her. She didn’t even fight for custody of Isabella. I thought she was trying to win him back.
Turns out, she already has her next target. If she had fought for custody, it would’ve been harder for her to marry into the Gray family…
Harry: “..”
The fact that the Gray family would accept Maggie really surprised Levi.
Not long after, when Franklin arrived, Levi couldn’t help but tell him, “Just now, I overheard a conversation between Mrs. Gray and others. From what she said, it seems like she’s supportive of Maggie marrying into the Gray family.”
“I think after your divorce, she’ll probably marry into the Gray family soon.”
Franklin raised an eyebrow, clearly amused by the idea. “Oh? Really?”
Levi added, “Well, Mrs. Gray’s words definitely sound like that. You can ask Harry.”
Franklin looked at Harry.
Harry: “… Yeah.”
It did indeed seem that Mrs. Gray had implied she was okay with Maggie marrying Johnny.
Franklin smiled, nodded, and didn’t say anything more.
At that moment, Old Master Yves arrived. He was almost the last to arrive.
When he walked in, he handed his gift to Old Mrs. Wilson, greeted her briefly, then smiled and said to Isabella, “Isabella, come give your great–grandfather a hug.”
Isabella went over to hug Old Master Yves.
Old Master Yves smiled and said, “Our Isabella is really obedient.”
Isabella looked at him and asked, “Great–grandpa Yves, didn’t Mom come with you?”
She had already asked Franklin about her mother before, and he told her that Maggie had something to
do and couldn’t make it.
Now, seeing Old Master Yves, who had such a good relationship with her mother, she couldn’t help but
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?”
