Divorce for a Long Time
Chapter 203
Chapter 203
Johnny had been to the Miller family’s house before, and he directly delivered the fireworks to the Miller family’s residence.
As for Harry, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Maggie gave him the address near the Miller family villa.
Around 2 p.m., Maggie drove to the appointment.
On the phone, Harry had said that he would have someone deliver the fireworks to her. However, after
parking the car, Maggie was surprised to see Harry himself.
Harry: “You’re here?”
“Mm…”
“Open the trunk.”
After Maggie opened the trunk, Harry moved the fireworks and some New Year gifts into her trunk.
When Maggie saw the gifts, she couldn’t help but say, “The New Year gifts aren’t necessary…”
“Daisy asked me to deliver them to you.”
Maggie: ”
་་
“I also bought a few New Year gifts for Daisy,” Maggie replied as she placed a small gift with a thousand knot design and some items she had bought earlier in the day into Harry’s car.
Harry smiled slightly and said, “Alright.”
In the gifts that Maggie prepared, Harry saw a cute thick fabric rabbit lantern and picked it up to inspect it: “What is this?”
“This is a rabbit lantern,” Maggie explained. “I bought two, one is for the snake baby, and one is for the rabbit. I thought the kids would like them.”
Harry looked at the rabbit and the snake–shaped lanterns. Both were cute and festive.

He said, “I think Daisy will like it too, thank you.”

“Gift for gift, it’s nothing.”
Harry put it back and glanced at the nearby coffee shop, saying, “Shall we go sit for a while?”
Maggie replied, “No, I still have things to do. I need to go out again soon.”
Tonight, Old Madam Wilson would be discharged from the hospital.
She had to go to the hospital with Old Madam Miller to visit.
Harry said, “…Alright.”
Maggie didn’t say much more, and soon got in the car to leave.
Not long after she arrived home, Maggie and Old Madam Miller went out again, taking the New Year gifts
for Old Madam Wilson with them.
Before going to the hospital, they had informed Old Madam Wilson in advance.
It seemed like Old Madam Wilson was avoiding them for some reason. When they arrived at the hospital, the ward only contained Old Madam Wilson and her caretaker, Aunt Amy.
Old Madam Miller didn’t see Isabella, which made her feel somewhat disappointed, but she didn’t
mention it.
Old Madam Wilson noticed the expression on Old Madam Miller’s face but didn’t say anything.
Maggie and Franklin’s divorce was a matter everyone had been aware of for some time.
Since Felix came back to see her during the New Year, and Maggie hadn’t shown up, Old Madam Wilson had already known that Maggie was distancing herself from the Wilson family. She had already guessed that this year, Maggie wouldn’t spend the New Year at the Wilson family’s house.
Regarding the custody of Isabella, Old Madam Wilson had brought it up with Franklin a few days ago, but he refused to compromise.
When she asked about where Isabella would spend the New Year, Franklin said that it would depend on
Isabella’s decision.
However, Isabella had gone abroad for a trip, and she had only returned tonight. Old Madam Wilson hadn’t had the chance to ask her yet.
Seeing how disappointed her old friend was, Old Madam Wilson felt even more guilty.

However, the truth was that Isabella had become more attached to Franklin recently. Old Madam Wilson couldn’t promise anything without Isabella’s response.
Though Old Madam Wilson didn’t say anything, Old Madam Miller and Maggie both understood her unspoken thoughts.
They didn’t bring up Isabella and instead talked about more lighthearted topics, such as the recovery of
Old Madam Wilson’s leg.
Soon after, Old Madam Wilson would be discharged, so Maggie and Old Madam Miller didn’t stay too long. After spending more than half an hour, they left.
After they left, Franklin appeared at the hospital.
Old Madam Wilson knew that he had come to avoid Maggie, but she didn’t speak up.
The divorce between Maggie and Franklin had already become a certainty. Old Madam Wilson knew she couldn’t stop it, but…
Looking at Franklin sitting beside the bed, peeling apples for her, Old Madam Wilson pursed her lips and said, “Frank, Isabella was born by Mag with great difficulty. Can’t you give Mag the custody of Isabella?”
Franklin didn’t stop peeling the apple and replied indifferently, “Isabella is also my daughter.”
Old Madam Wilson was upset and said, “You didn’t care about Isabella for years, and now you have the nerve to fight for custody?!”
Franklin smiled and placed the peeled apple slices on a plate, handing it to Old Madam Wilson, saying, “I’ve changed, haven’t I?”
Old Madam Wilson turned her face away, not accepting the plate and not responding.
Franklin set the plate down and said, “Grandmother, this is something between us, don’t involve
yourself.”
After settling the discharge procedures, Franklin took Old Madam Wilson back to the family home, and when the time came, he would go to the airport to pick up Isabella.
“Dad, Aunty Julie!”
After exiting the airport and seeing Franklin and Julia, Isabella let go of Aunt Sara’s hand and quickly ran towards them, leaping into their arms.

Once in the car, Isabella rummaged through her little backpack and handed over some interesting little trinkets she had bought during her travels.
“Dad, Aunty Julie, I bought gifts for you!”
Julia took the items and gently ruffled her hair, smiling, “Thank you, Isabella.”
Today, Old Madam Wilson was being discharged from the hospital, so Franklin and Isabella were going back to the family home for dinner.
After leaving the airport and sending Julia home, Franklin instructed the driver to turn around and head back to the family home.
In the car on the way there, Franklin was dealing with work matters.
Isabella didn’t disturb him and played by herself.
When they arrived at the family home, Isabella got out of the car, carrying her little backpack, and ran inside calling, “Mom, Mom!”
