Chapter 331

The next morning Franklin Isabella and Julia arrived early at the stadium where Isabella s competition would take place
Not long after Harry and Daisy arrived as well
Upon seeing them Isabella greeted with a smile Uncle Daisy you re here
Daisy came over and held Isabella s hand Your match is about to start are you nervous Isabella
Isabella however remained calm and composed She shook her head Not at all
Harry had other business to attend to he was only here to drop Daisy off
Knowing he was in a hurry Franklin said I ll look after Daisy Go take care of your work
Harry nodded. “Alright, I’ll come back around noon and have lunch with you guys.”
“Sounds good.”
The bond between the two still seemed as strong as ever
Julia listened to their conversation her gaze flitting between Franklin and Harry
If Franklin were to find out that Harry had fallen for Maggie would their friendship still be the same
Noticing her gaze Harry gave her a slight nod without saying a word then turned and left
Watching him come and go without once speaking to her Julia let out a faintly mocking smile
Ever since he had fallen for Maggie, Harry had grown colder and colder toward her.
Meanwhile back at home resting Maggie received a call from Johnny
My parents and I are going out for lunch today It s been a while since they last saw you and they ve mentioned you a few times recently They really want to see you do you want to join us
It had indeed been quite a while since Maggie had seen Mr and Mrs Gray Hearing this she agreed
Close to noon she got in her car and headed out
By the time she arrived at the restaurant Johnny and his parents had just gotten there as well
Seeing her Mrs Gray held her hand warmly It s been so long our Maggie is still as beautiful as ever
As Maggie and Mrs. Gray chatted, Levi stepped out of a car nearby. When he saw Maggie, Johnny, and Mr. and Mrs. Gray together, he froze for a moment.
Maggie noticed him too and the smile on her face faded slightly before she calmly looked away
Levi was clearly surprised, but he quickly regained composure and greeted the couple politely, “Mr. Gray, Mrs.
Gray They nodded in response
Levi glanced around at the four of them, then turned and walked into the restaurant ahead.
Once he was a bit farther away he pulled out his phone and called Franklin
Franklin picked up quickly What s up
Guess who I just saw
Franklin didn’t take the bait. “Who did you see?”
Seriously Levi could already tell from Franklin s tone that he had a good idea
You re right it was Maggie But here s the kicker she was with Johnny and his parents Dude it totally looked like she was meeting the parents Mrs Gray even held her hand and looked super affectionate like Maggie was already her daughter in law I swear they might really be close to tying the knot
Franklin replied calmly Oh Is that so
Really That s all you ve got to say Given Franklin s past indifference toward Maggie his reaction wasn t exactly surprising
Seeing that gossiping with Franklin wasn t going anywhere Levi switched topics Has Isabella s match finished What were the results
It finished this morning She did well
Alright then Levi still bubbling with gossip couldn t help himself He shared the whole thing with Julia and Harry in their group chat
At that moment Franklin Julia and the others had just arrived at the restaurant and were getting ready to eat Harry had wrapped up his work and joined them
Seeing Levi s in the group chat both Julia and Harry checked their messages
Upon reading that Maggie had been spotted with Johnny and his parents, Julia thought it must be the result of what
she had told Mrs Gray the day before
She curled her lips slightly in a subtle smirk
Johnny s parents meeting with Maggie maybe they were trying to put her in her place
But just as she had that thought Levi sent two more messages
Just now Mrs Gray was holding Maggie s hand calling her Maggie with such warmth It seriously looked like she adored her as if Maggie were her own daughter I m telling you this looks like it s really happening
“Remember during Grandma Wilson’s birthday, Mrs. Gray said that as long as Johnny and Maggie were ready, she could arrange the wedding anytime? Back then, I thought she was just being polite, But now? Damn, she meant it!”
Reading that Julia froze
And then, her expression changed dramatically.
