Much later, she went out. She wandered aimlessly through this country that felt both strange and
familiar.
Near noon, she remembered she had arranged to have lunch with Franklin.
calling the morning’s conversation, just as she was debating whether to go home to pick up their daughter, she suddenly received a message from Franklin: [Something urgent came up, lunch canceled.]
Maggie looked at it without surprise.
Because she was used to it. In Franklin’s heart, whether it was business or meeting friends… anything was more important than his wife.
Plans made with her could be canceled at his whim.
He never considered her feelings.
Was she disappointed? Perhaps she would have been before.
Now she was numb to it.
Maggie felt even more lost. She had come here so eagerly, only to receive cold treatment from both.
her husband and daughter.
Without realizing it, she had driven to the restaurant where she and Franklin had dined many times
before.
Just as she was about to enter, she saw Franklin, Julia, and Isabella inside the restaurant.
Julia sat intimately beside her daughter.
While chatting with Franklin, she played with the little girl. Her daughter swung her legs happily. playing around with Julia, leaning over to eat pastries that Julia had bitten.
Franklin smiled as he served them both, but his gaze remained fixed on Julia across the table, as if she were the only one in his world.

So this was Franklin’s “urgent matter.” And this was the daughter she had carried for ten months, nearly losing her life to bring into the world.
Maggie smiled. She stood there watching. After a while, she withdrew her gaze and turned away.
Back at the villa, Maggie prepared divorce papers. He had been her girlhood dream, yet he had. never truly seen her.
If not for that night’s accident and the old master’s pressure, he would never have married her. In e past, she had naively believed that if she tried hard enough, there would surely come a day
when he would see her.
Reality had slapped her hard across the face. Almost seven years had passed. It was time to wake up.
After putting the divorce papers in an envelope and instructing Auntie Sara to give them to Franklin, Maggie dragged her suitcase to the car and told the driver, “To the airport.‘

It was
nine in the evening when father and daughter returned.
Isabella clutched her father’s clothes, moving sluggishly as she got out of the car. Because her mother was here, she actually hadn’t wanted to come home tonight.
But Aunt Julie said her mother had come specifically to spend time with her and her father, and they would make her sad if they didn’t return.
Father also said that if they didn’t come back tonight, mother would surely follow them on their sea
trip tomorrow.
So she had reluctantly agreed to return. But she was still worried and said glumly, “Dad, what if
mom insists on coming with us tomorrow?”
“She won’t,” Franklin said with certainty.
Throughout their marriage years, although Maggie had always tried to find ways to spend more time with him, she was still sensible enough whenever he showed his attitude, she didn’t dare

In Isabella’s memory, Maggie had always been very obedient to Franklin. Since he said she wouldn’t, then she definitely wouldn’t.
Isabella finally felt relieved. Her mood lifted, and her previous gloom disappeared as she bounced into the house, telling Auntie Sara she wanted to take a bath.

“Of course, of course. Auntie Sara responded repeatedly, then remembering Maggie’s instructions. handed the envelope to Franklin. “Sir, Madam asked me to give this to you.”
Franklin took it, casually asking. “Where is she?”
“Well… Madam packed and returned home at noon. Didn’t you know?”
Franklin paused halfway up the stairs, turning his head, “She went back?”
Why Maggie had suddenly come to Country A–Franklin never gave her the chance to explain. He didn’t care either. Learning of her departure, he didn’t take it to heart.
Isabella was also somewhat surprised. When she heard the news, she felt a slight disappointment.
She had been thinking that if mom wasn’t going to join her and dad at the beach tomorrow, having mom’s company in the evening might actually be nice.
Besides, her hands would hurt while polishing seashells, and she had wanted mom to help her!
