She actually liked this change in her mom.
But recently, she also noticed that aside from those things, her mom seemed quieter than before whenever they met.
Her mom had become more silent.
Isabella was someone Maggie had raised with her own hands. Maggie knew that she wasn’t a careless person.
The fact that Isabella had only now realized her mom was speaking less meant she had simply gotten used to ignoring it.
Maggie looked away and said, “Mom’s just tired.”
“Oh…” Isabella replied softly.
Maggie noticed that Isabella seemed truly tired, so she didn’t ask any further.
The night wind was particularly sharp and cold.
As they walked out of the hotel lobby, the biting cold wind made their faces sting with pain.
Isabella clearly felt the cold and didn’t want to walk any further. She grabbed onto Maggie’s hand and buried her small face into her stomach. “It’s so cold, Mommy, hold me.”
Isabella was almost six years old, and she had grown rather heavy.
Maggie felt the strain but still bent down and picked her up.
Isabella wrapped her little arms around Maggie’s neck and buried her face there to shield herself from the cold.
Maggie’s clothes were soft and warm. Isabella snuggled up, enjoying the warmth as she rubbed her face against her neck.
Franklin had a strong sense of time.
When Maggie arrived at the parking lot holding Isabella, Franklin’s car happened to pull in.
Seeing them, the car stopped right next to Maggie.
Upon seeing that Franklin had arrived, Isabella didn’t get out of her mother’s arms but instead lowered the car window.
She coquettishly called out to Franklin inside the car, “Daddy, pick me up and take me inside.”
Franklin didn’t say anything. He got out of the car and came over to pick up Isabella.
Isabella happily swung her little legs in Franklin’s arms.
As Franklin leaned in, Maggie caught a familiar scent–Julia’s perfume.

Before, when he had sat next to her, he didn’t have that scent.
This meant that he had likely gone to the Green family after leaving here.
Franklin looked at her and said, “It’s cold tonight. Let’s head back.”
Maggie stepped back and said, “Got it.”
Isabella happily called out, “Goodbye, Mommy.”
“Mm.” Maggie responded.
Franklin, holding Isabella, got into the car. Maggie didn’t wait for them to drive off and turned to walk to where her own car
was parked.
Watching her retreating figure, Franklin paused for a moment before finally looking away. He turned to the driver and said,
“Drive.”
His car quickly merged into the flow of traffic.
When Maggie was about to reach her own parking spot, Harry got out of his car. “Maggie.”
Maggie didn’t pay attention at first, thinking he was a stranger. When she heard him call her name, she turned around and realized it was Harry.
She thought it was a chance encounter. After all, they hadn’t rented out the entire hotel today, so it wasn’t impossible that Harry had come here for some reason.
She nodded slightly as a greeting and started unlocking her car, ready to leave.
Seeing that she still treated him like a stranger, Harry remained where he was.
Maggie stepped aside and opened the car door, only then realizing that Harry was still standing there, looking at her.
She saw that he seemed like he wanted to say something. Her tone was cold and distant as she asked, “Is there something you
need?”
Harry paused for a moment.
In the end, he didn’t mention what had happened tonight.
He said, “Daisy has a gift for you. Can we meet for a meal in a couple of days? Is there a convenient time?”
Daisy seemed to have gone through a significant incident, suffering major physical and emotional trauma.
Daisy had mentioned before that she was somewhat similar to her mother.
But her mother had already passed away.
So, Maggie understood Daisy’s attachment to her,
To be honest, Maggie liked Daisy a lot too.

If they met in normal circumstances, she would set aside her personal grievances with Harry and spend more time with Daisy.
But to meet Daisy alone…
At this moment, Harry suddenly added, “Your uncle has a project that I can help with.”
Maggie froze.
Harry didn’t elaborate further. He said, “Think it over. If you’re interested, feel free to call me anytime, and I’ll arrange a time
for us to meet.”
Maggie didn’t say anything.
To be honest, she didn’t trust him.
After all, he was very close with Julia and Franklin.
Even if Harry was sincere in asking for her help right now, even if his assistance in her uncle’s project worked out, who knew if, in the future, when she had a falling out with Julia, he would do the same as Franklin–using the project to threaten her uncle in order to pressure her?
Perhaps sensing her hesitation, Harry said, “I can assure you that personal matters will never interfere with the professional dealings between me and your uncle.”
Upon hearing this, Maggie asked, “Are you sure?”
“Sure,” Harry replied.
Maggie knew that her uncle’s company was currently in a difficult situation.
She hesitated for a moment and then said, “Alright.”
“When you have some time, you can contact me, and I’ll arrange a meeting,” Harry said.
Maggie responded, “Alright.”
At this point, Harry looked at her, her hair slightly messy from the cold wind, and said, “It’s cold at night, you should go. inside.”
Hearing those words, Maggie paused.
Because those words were exactly the same as what Franklin had just said to her.
