Franklin replied, “I just got word that your grandfather will be back tomorrow afternoon. After school tomorrow, I’ll have someone come pick you up to go home for dinner. Let your mom know.”
Franklin’s father, Felix Wilson, worked in the government. His job kept him very busy, and he rarely had time to return home throughout the year. The day Old Lady Wilson fell, Felix rushed back at dawn, only to leave again before sunrise.
Now that Old Lady Wilson was still in the hospital, Felix had taken a couple of days off in advance to come back and spend the New Year with her.
After hearing this, Isabella responded, “Okay, I know.”
As she hung up, she suddenly realized that her father had said “pick you up” and not “pick you all up,” implying that it was just her being picked up, not Maggie.
She turned to Maggie and asked, “Mom, aren’t you coming back with us for dinner?”
In the past, whenever Felix came back, regardless of whether Franklin was there or not, Old Lady Wilson would always invite Maggie and Isabella to the old house for a family reunion.
Since it happened quite often, even though Isabella was still young, she had the impression in her mind that “when Grandpa comes back, we go to the old house for dinner.”
Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time
Maggie was about to speak when Franklin quickly interjected, “Your mom has something to do
tomorrow.”
“Okay…” Isabella said. She had put the phone on speaker, so Maggie heard the entire conversation.
Maggie hadn’t known about Felix’s return until now. She and Franklin were already going through the
divorce process.

Given her current situation, there was no longer any need for her to visit the Wilson family or meet Franklin’s relatives.
Evidently, Franklin thought the same way. So, without waiting for her to respond, he had already made up an excuse for her not to return to the Wilson family.
Franklin didn’t say anything further and quickly ended the call.
The Next Day.
In the afternoon, Harry and the core technical team of his company came to Cole to discuss work.
Over the past few days, Harry had been very cooperative in his work, saving Maggie a lot of trouble. As a
result, she had become more polite toward him.
As soon as he arrived, Maggie set aside her work to meet with him.
After more than an hour, Harry’s phone rang. It was a call from Franklin.
After apologizing to Maggie, Harry stepped outside to take the call.
What was said on the phone wasn’t clear, but after a brief silence, Harry responded with a simple, “Okay.”
As he was about to end the call, Franklin suddenly said, “My father is back, and we’ll have dinner at home tonight. I’ll have to trouble you to come by.”
Harry paused, “Your father’s back?” he asked, then added, “How many days will he be staying?”
“Two or three days.”
After hanging up, Harry returned to the meeting room. He looked thoughtfully at Maggie, who was still deep in conversation with his technical team, unaware of his gaze.
After the meeting ended, as Maggie stood up to send them off, Harry asked, “Are you working overtime tonight?”
Maggie replied casually, “Yes, I still have some things to handle.”
Harry’s gaze darkened.
In other words, she wouldn’t be going back to the Wilson family tonight.
His heart stirred, and he asked, “Do you have time later? Would you like to have dinner together?”
Maggie shook her head, “No, I have a lot to do. I can’t get away.”
Harry thought about offering to have takeout delivered to her, but she wasn’t officially divorced yet.
