In Country A. Isabella had developed a habit of calling Julia first thing every morning. This day, as usual, she called Julia immediately after waking up.
But before they could talk much, she burst into tears with a “Boohoo.” Because Julia had given her. terrible news. “Aunt Julie is going back home!”
Heartbroken, Isabella immediately called Franklin after talking with Julia: “Dad, did you know
about this?” –
In the office, Franklin flipped through documents: “Yes.”
“When did you find out?”
“A while ago.”
“You… Dad, you’re so mean…” Isabella hugged her pink pig plushie, crying non–stop: “Why didn’t your tell me? I can’t bear to part with Aunt Julie. If she’s not here, I don’t want to study here either. I want to go home, Boohoo”
Franklin replied coolly: “It’s being handled.”
Isabella didn’t understand: “W–what do you mean?”
“We’re going back home next week.”
Maggie jumped up from her bed: “Really?!”
“Mm.”
“Then why didn’t Aunt Julie tell me earlier?”
“The matter just got settled. Haven’t told her yet.”
Isabella was overjoyed: “Dad, don’t tell Aunt Julie about this yet. Can we give her a surprise when we get back?!”

“Dad you’re the best! I love you so mucht
After hanging up, Isabella was still ecstatic, singing and dancing on her bed.
A moment later, she suddenly thought of Maggle. These past few days, she had been in such a good mood because mom hadn’t called.
Actually, to avoid talking with mom, she had deliberately left early and either kept her phone far away or turned it off after school.
After two days, worried that mom would get angry if she found out, she stopped doing this.
But surprisingly, mom hadn’t called her at all in the following days.
At first, she thought mom had discovered her deliberately missing the calls.
But then she reasoned that, based on past experience, if mom knew she had done something wrong, she would have immediately made her correct it rather than angrily refusing to call.
After all, she was the most important person in mom’s heart, mom loved her the most she didn’t believe mom would really stop calling just because she was angry!
Thinking of this, Isabella suddenly missed Maggie a little. This was the first time in many days that she had thought of her.
She couldn’t help but call her.
But just as she dialed, she suddenly realized that although she would see Aunt Julie soon after returning home, knowing her mother’s nature, mom would definitely try everything to prevent her from seeing Aunt Julie.
She would no longer be able to see Aunt Julie whenever she wanted like she could here. This thought immediately soured her mood.

Hearing this, Maggie relaxed: “Alright, thank you for the trouble.”
When Auntie Sara went upstairs, Isabella was already washing up in the bathroom.
After Auntie Sara explained the situation, she lied while brushing her teeth: “I pressed it by
accident.”

Maggie.
