Chapter 173
Maggie had actually been quite interested in watching them.
But now…
However, seeing Franklin and Julia had made her want to avoid the fireworks, making it feel like a
lose–lose situation.
Thinking about this, she smiled and said, “Alright.”
They walked toward the crowd.
Just as they reached the railing, the dazzling fireworks exploded across the riverbank, drawing gasps and laughter from the crowd, which was quickly drowned by the loud sounds of the fireworks.
Many people were taking photos or making wishes.
Seeing that Maggie was just silently watching, with no other reaction, Jimmy asked, “Would you like me
to record a video for you?”
Maggie shook her head, “No, I’m fine watching it.”
Jimmy didn’t ask further.
At that moment, Julia glanced over at them.
They were several meters away, but Jimmy’s tall stature and remarkable appearance made her spot him
instantly.
Having met Jimmy a few times before, they were somewhat familiar with each other.
While Julia was contemplating whether to greet Franklin, who was holding Isabella, she saw Maggie, who had been standing next to Jimmy.
Seeing Maggie, her smile quickly faded.
How could they be together here?
Such events were usually something families or couples attended together.

Maggie and Jimmy had barely any interactions other than dancing together at the banquet, so how could
they…
She glanced again and confirmed that it was just Jimmy and Maggie.
“Miss, look, it’s so beautiful!” At this moment, Isabella noticed Julia looking elsewhere.
Not wanting her to miss out on the beautiful display, she crouched down and excitedly shared with Julia.
Julia turned her head back, “Yes, Auntie sees it.”
Franklin looked over but noticed Julia seemed distracted, “What’s wrong?”
Júlia quickly replied, “Nothing.”
Isabella’s attention was completely absorbed by the fireworks across the river, and she didn’t look at Maggie, so she didn’t notice her.
As Franklin turned to speak to Julia, he happened to catch sight of Maggie.
Since Jimmy was talking to her, Maggie’s gaze was directed in their direction.
Their eyes met across the crowd.
Maggie froze, pursed her lips, and quickly looked away.
At this moment, Jimmy turned back, focusing on the fireworks, and his profile appeared in Franklin’s line of sight.
Although it was only a side profile, Franklin immediately recognized him.
Julia noticed that Franklin had seen Jimmy and Maggie, and said, “They actually came together to watch the fireworks…”
“Mm,” Franklin responded indifferently, turning his gaze away.
Seeing Franklin so indifferent and unconcerned, Julia smiled.
However…
Thinking about how Jimmy and Maggie had shown up together here, her smile faded quickly, and she once again turned her gaze toward Maggie.

‘Jimmy happened to glance over as well.
Seeing that Julia seemed to have noticed him, he nodded at her.
Julia smiled and nodded back.
They were familiar with each other, so Jimmy should have walked over to greet her.
But remembering that there seemed to be a deep misunderstanding between Julia and Maggie, he decided not to approach.
Julia frowned slightly and slowly withdrew her gaze.
Aside from that one glance, Franklin didn’t look back at Maggie.
As for Isabella, she was happily taking photos and laughing, fully absorbed in the fireworks show, completely unaware that Maggie was not far away.
“Miss, would you like to buy a hot dog?”
Maggie turned around.
The tempting hot dog caught her eye, and her heart stirred. It had been a long time since she had eaten a hot dog.
Thinking this, she glanced over at Isabella. Sure enough, she saw Isabella holding a hot dog and enjoying it happily.
In addition, Julia had somehow acquired a bouquet of red roses. She leaned against Franklin, chatting with him, while Isabella handed her a bite of the hot dog she had been eating.
Julia smiled and took it, biting into it, and then passed the hot dog back to Isabella, who took another bite before offering it to Franklin.
Franklin shook his head and seemed to say something, but didn’t eat it.
Maggie withdrew her gaze and said to the hot dog vendor, “I’ll take one.”
Just as she was about to ask Jimmy if he wanted one, he spoke first, “Let me get it.”
He immediately pulled out his phone to pay, took the hot dog from the vendor, and handed it to her.
He hot dog cost just over five dollars.

Maggie reached out and took it, saying, “Thank you.”
You’re welcome.”
They spoke casually, not noticing that Julia and Franklin were looking in their direction. They had just seen Jimmy pay for the hot dog for Maggie.
Franklin’s gaze darkened slightly, while Julia’s smile faded.
Maggie and Jimmy didn’t notice them.
The fireworks show was set to last about 20 minutes.

As the fireworks continued, they turned back to watch the display.
Isabella turned to them and asked, “Daddy, Aunt Julie, what are you watching?”
Franklin turned his gaze back and replied, “Nothing.”
Julia smiled as well.
A few minutes later, the fireworks show finally ended.
Maggie said, “Thank you for bringing me to watch the fireworks, and thank you for the hot dog.”
“Are you going back now?”
“Mm, I’m going to buy some plants and then head home,” she replied.
Jimmy didn’t insist on staying longer and said, “Okay.”
“Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
Maggie left.
Jimmy followed the crowd, heading towards the parking lot. After walking a few steps, someone called out to him, “Jim?”
It was Rex’s voice.
Jimmy turned around. “Rex.”

Rex walked over. “How come you’re here?”
came out to eat with friends,” Jimmy said. “What about you?”
Rex looked a bit uneasy and replied, “Same here.”
“I’m heading back. What about you?”
“I-”
Just as he started to speak, Rex paused, his gaze fixed on something in the distance, unable to look away.
