After going upstairs, Isabella was busy unwrapping the gift Franklin gave her while talking to Maggie.
Maggie was listening when her phone suddenly buzzed.
It was a message from Franklin.
“I still have to rush back to Country A tomorrow afternoon to handle some matters. The divorce might have to be postponed by a week.”
Maggie frowned and started typing a reply.
“Can’t you go back to Country A on Monday morning?”
Franklin replied quickly.
“Tried, but it won’t work. Sorry.”
Maggie pursed her lips and didn’t respond further.
Perhaps knowing she was upset, Franklin sent another message, assuring her,
“Even if I can’t make it back by next Friday, I will definitely be back before the Monday after next. You can rest
assured.”
Since Franklin gave a clear deadline for his return, Maggie had a better sense of the situation.
She didn’t reply and put down her phone.
Franklin probably knew she had read the messages but didn’t respond, so he didn’t send any more messages.
After chatting with Maggie for a while, Isabella got sleepy and soon fell asleep.
Maggie tucked her in, then went to take a shower.
She was exhausted from the whole day, and after showering, she went to bed and prepared to turn off the lights.
Isabella seemed to sense this.
Just as Maggie lay down, Isabella crawled over into her arms, softly calling, “Mom… Mom…”
Maggie thought she had woken up and responded softly, “Sleep now.”
But Isabella didn’t say anything further.

Looking down, Maggie realized Isabella hadn’t actually woken up.
Yet, she clung tightly to her clothes, gripping very hard.
The next day.
As scheduled, Franklin came to pick up Isabella.
Isabella had already changed her clothes and was carrying her little school bag.
When she learned Franklin had arrived, she grabbed Maggie’s hand and hurried downstairs.
Madam Miller and Jason all knew Franklin was outside but pretended not to know. They neither came out to greet nor invited him in.
When Isabella said goodbye to them, they only said,
“Have fun, Isabella.”
Isabella held Maggie’s hand as they left.
Maggie only accompanied her to the door, then released her hand and didn’t follow Isabella to Franklin.
Isabella rushed into Franklin’s arms, calling, “Daddy!”
He picked her up, spoke a few words to her, then looked at Maggie:
“I’ll bring Isabella back later. Thanks for your hard work the next few days.”
Maggie only replied, “Got it.”
Franklin nodded.
After Isabella and Maggie waved goodbye, he carried Isabella to the car and left the Miller family yard.
At present, there were many technical matters at Cole, Franklin’s company, and Jamison Group that required Maggie’s personal attention.
Even on weekends, Maggie barely had free time.
So after Franklin left, Maggie and Madam Miller went to the hospital to visit Sa.,, then returned upstairs to continue her work.
Franklin’s flight was at about 5 p.m.
After personally bringing Isabella back at 3 p.m., he hurried to the airport.

The news that Franklin flew back briefly then left for a business trip abroad was already known by the Lin family
and Sun family.
Old Madam Green and the others were not pleased.
“If he’s already back, why not stay an extra day, get the certificate, and then leave? Why the rush?”
Sophia pouted, agreeing, “Exactly.”
Though Franklin insisted on divorcing Maggie because of Julja, and Julia said Franklin would definitely return by Monday after next week and divorce Maggie at once, the fact that Franklin and Maggie were still not divorced left room for uncertainty.
Therefore, even if Franklin and Maggie divorced but Franklin could not marry Julia immediately afterward, they still hoped the divorce would happen soon.
Julia naturally also hoped Franklin and Maggie would divorce quickly.
But now, there was nothing to do but wait.
Thinking of Franklin taking the time amidst his busy schedule to travel thousands of miles from Country A just to celebrate Isabella’s birthday, Old Madam Green felt uneasy and said,
“Franklin really cares about his daughter a lot.”
Julia said nothing.
After all, she knew better than anyone how much Franklin cared for and valued Isabella.
Old Madam Green noticed Julia’s unease about this and comforted her,
“It’s okay. When you and Franklin have your own child someday, given your relationship, he will definitely favor your children even more.”
Julia replied softly,
“Mm.”
