She woke up the next morning, and when she got up and hugged her doll to look for Maggie, she asked, Mom, have you not slept at all? Maggie casually replied, Hmm, you go ahead and sleep, dont mind me.
Isabella: .
She had already woken up.
Mom, youre not sleeping? Arent you tired? Maggie: Hmm.
Seeing that Maggie was frowning, as though she felt she was disturbing her, Isabella had originally planned to ask if she was hungry, but she didnt say anything in the end.
Instead, she quietly went to wash up.
After being busy for more than a day and night, Maggie finally finished recording the content that needed to be documented.
After sending it to Johnny, she went downstairs for breakfast.
After reading the materials she sent, Johnny was so excited that his hands shook.
This is it, exactly! Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Maggie rubbed her aching forehead and said, Im going to sleep for a bit, Ill talk to you later.
Okay.
Maggie slept until after 5 p.m.
When she woke up, she saw Isabella playing Sudoku on the carpet in her room.
When she saw that Maggie had woken up, Isabella stood up and asked, Mom, youre awake? Maggie responded, Mhm.
Are you thirsty? Do you want some water? Maggie paused for a moment.
Thank you.
After Isabella poured her a glass of water, she returned to her game.
Maggie looked at her little figure and realized that she had been so busy with work over the past few days that she had been neglecting her.
But today was the last day of her break.
Tomorrow, she would have to go back to work at Cole, and she would have even less time to spend with Isabella, Thinking about that, she spoke up, Isabella.* Isabella turned around.
Whats up, Mom? When is your dad coming back? Isabella replied, Dad said not so soon.
Then she asked, Mom, do you need something from Dad? Maggie didnt say anything, just replied, No, you go play.

Okay.
After drinking the water, Maggie sent a message to Franklin.
[When will you be back? I have to go back to work tomorrow and wont have time to take care of Isabella.
Can you come and pick her up?] She sent the message and waited for more than half an hour before Franklin finally replied.
[Ill be back in two days.] Maggie saw the message but didnt reply.
After dinner, Isabella went out for a walk with Mrs.
Miller, and after Maggie went upstairs, Johnnys call came in.
As they were discussing and organizing some opinions, Maggie was on speakerphone while talking to Johnny, When Isabella returned from her walk and heard Maggie on the phone, she noticed the voice didnt sound familiar.
She felt a little unhappy and couldnt help but ask, Mom, who are you talking to on the phone? Maggie replied, A friend of mine.
Isabella responded with a simple, Oh… Johnny heard Isabellas voice but didnt speak up.
He didnt mention that he had met her when she was younger, and he had even held her at that time.
Maggie and Johnny kept talking on the phone until after 10 p.m.
before they finally ended the call.
The next day, Maggie officially went back to work at Cole.
Since the company started developing the two projects she worked on last year, they had been shortstaffed.
At the end of last year, they had already planned to recruit more people.
However, both she and Johnny had been so busy that they hadnt had time to follow up.
The recruitment matter was urgent, so on her first day back, Maggie immediately started arranging it.
Franklin had previously told her hed be back in two days.
But three or four days passed, and he still hadnt returned.
It wasnt until the fifth day, while Maggie was still at work, that she received a call from Isabella.
Mom, Dads back.
He sent someone to pick me up.
Okay, I know, Maggie said.
Make sure you pack your things and dont leave anything behind.
Isabella happily responded, Got it! After that, Isabella asked, Mom, will you come to see me off? Maggie still had a lot of work to do.
She wanted to decline.
But recently, because of her work, she hadnt been able to spend much time with Isabella.
Moreover, after this time, Isabella would probably not think about her for a while, so she agreed, saying, Okay, Mom will come right away.
Isabella happily responded, Mhm! Johnny had also returned from his business trip.
Since Maggie was tired from work, if she wanted to leave early to rest, he had no objections.
However… He snorted.
Franklin dropped the child and went on his honeymoon with that woman, delaying his return by several days.
He doesnt feel guilty, but you, the mother without custody, feel guilty when you neglect the child for a bit? I see, Franklin is relying on your soft heart, thats why he dares to act like this and break his promises while leaving the child with you.
