However, he didn't think too deeply about it, assuming Maggle had probably returned to her family.
When he entered the bathroom, he suddenly remembered that whenever Maggie visited her family in the past, she would always
take Isabella along.
lay was unusually different she hadn't taken their daughter. Could it be that she hadn't gone to her family after all?
Then again, perhaps something had happened at her household.
The words Chad spoke when leaving the company this afternoon flashed through his mind, and Franklin became certain of this
possibility. He paused mid-step but decided not to intervene. The next morning, while having breakfast, Franklin said to Isabella,
"The enrollment procedures are
complete.
You'll report to school tomorrow morning." "I know," Isabella wrinkled her little nose.
"Dad, can you take me to school tomorrow?" "I might not be free." "Oh, alright." Isabella's eyes darted around before suddenly
lighting up. She said cheerfully,
Before Franklin could respond, his phone rang. It was a call from the family estate. When he answered, it was Franklin's
grandmother's voice on the other end.
"I heard you're back in the country?" "Yes." "Did Bella come back with you?" "She did." "It's been so long since I've seen Bella, I
miss her. Tonight, bring her and Mag over for dinner." "Understood."
The elderly lady then asked, "Where's Mag? Let me talk to her." "She's not here." "How could she not be here at this hour?" "She
probably went back to her family." "Probably? As her husband, you don't even know where your wife went?" Franklin remained

The current state of his marriage with Maggie was already a major compromise for Franklin. Given his personality, even if it was
for his own good, she couldn't push too hard. Thinking of this, she sighed, "Tine, this old lady has nothing more to say to you,
Isabella hadn't been paying attention at first, but after catching the latter part of the conversation, she asked curiously, "Dad, who
was that?" "Your great-grandmother." membering the elderly lady's words, Franklin said while dialing Maggie's number, "She
wants us to go back for dinner tonight."
Great-grandmother had always been good to Isabella, and she loved her great-grandmother too.
Upon hearing this, she happily said, "Great! I haven't seen great-grandmother in so long, I miss her." Franklin looked at his
phone and made a sound of acknowledgment. Meanwhile, Maggie was having breakfast at her family home. Seeing Franklin's
incoming call, she paused.
She no longer felt excitement or joy at his calls. After hesitating for two seconds, she answered, "Hello." "Grandmother wants us
to go back for dinner tonight." Maggie, "...Alright, I understand." "Come back and pick up our daughter later."
Maggie didn't want to go back to his place anymore, and besides, even if she went to pick up their daughter personally, her
daughter might not be happy to see her.. Why put herself through that futile effort? She said, "Let the driver take her there. I'll
drive there myself after work."
