In fact , everything the trees , the grass hadnt changed at all .
aggie had already begun to feel a sense of unfamiliarity with the place .
The butler noticed her and quickly came out to greet her .
Madam , youre back .
Maggie paused at the butlers address , but ultimately didnt correct him .
She nodded and asked , Wheres Bella ? She should still be asleep .
It was almost time , and if Isabella didnt come downstairs for breakfast soon , it would be too late .
However , Maggie had no intention of going upstairs herself and simply asked Aunt Sara to go upstairs and urge her .
The butler asked , Madam , have you had breakfast ? Its ready , would you like to Maggie smiled faintly and shook her head .
No need , Ive already eaten .
f I see , understood … At that moment , Franklin came downstairs .
Maggie looked at him , said nothing , just gave a faint nod of acknowledgment .
Franklin paused in his steps .
Before he could say anything , Isabella ran downstairs and leapt into Maggies arms .
Maggie embraced her , gently ruffling her hair , and smiled , Its getting late , hurry and go breakfast .

Mom , come have breakfast with me .
Maggie didnt get up .
Ive already eaten .

Isabella pouted .
Then at least talk to me while I eat .
While mother and daughter were chatting , Franklin had already seated himself at the dining table .
table to resist her daughters pleadings , Maggie eventually joined Isabella at the table and sat across from Franklin .
The butler poured her a glass of water .
Maggie quietly drank it while listening to Isabella excitedly recount her adventures at school yesterday .
As for Franklin , she completely ignored him .
Franklin noticed the change in Maggies attitude immediately .
The last time they returned to the old house , Maggie had been the same .
Thinking about this , Franklin frowned , his eating momentarily paused .
Just then , his phone suddenly rang .
Maggie Maggie glanced over and saw that the caller ID displayed Baby in bold letters .
She had thought she was beyond caring about such things .
But after loving someone for so many years , could it really be that easy to let go ? The two words stung her heart , and she quickly averted her gaze .
The pain in her eyes didnt escape Franklins notice , yet he didnt hesitate to answer the call right in front of her .
His voice was soft and gentle as he spoke , Whats wrong ? Isabella noticed the interaction and , in her memory , Franklin only ever showed this kind of tenderness when talking to Julia .
For a moment , she forgot that Maggie was there .

Isabella was about to say that she wanted to talk to Aunt Julie as well , but she remembered that Maggie didnt like Julia , and her words got stuck in her throat .
Still , her good mood had been affected .
She furrowed her little brows , thinking to herself , if only Mommy and Aunt Julie could get along well .
the other end of the line , Julia seemed to say something that made Franklin frown with worry .
He didnt even finish his breakfast before rushing off .
Seeing him leave in such a hurry , Isabella also grew worried .
But because Maggie was there , she didnt speak up .
She lost her appetite and tugged at Maggies sleeve .
Mom , Im done eating .
Lets go , hurry ! Although Isabella didnt say anything , Maggie noticed all of her reactions .
She understood that her daughter was eager to leave to find out what was going on with Julia .
But she didnt say anything .
Maggie replied , You havent eaten much , take some with you in the car .
No , Im not hungry , Isabella replied .
Maggie paused.
She didnt insist .
