Chapter 23
She hugged her and kissed her, “Okay, don’t be angry…”
Isabella was still very upset, but seeing Maggie kiss her, half of her anger subsided, and she felt event
more aggrieved,
suddenly started crying and made another request, “Then… you… you can’t hug her anymore, and you can’t say she’s cute!”
Maggie finally understood why she was upset.
It turned out, she was jealous.
Although she didn’t want Maggie to be her mom anymore, when someone else tried to take her place, she wasn’t happy.
She found it a bit amusing.
Not, answering directly, Maggie kissed her again and comforted her, pulling both children a little further away from the crowd.
Isabella took the opportunity to push Tommy out of Maggie’s arms.
Tommy was very well–behaved. Although she liked Maggie, she didn’t have such strong possessiveness over her.
Moreover, Isabella looked fierce, so Tommy was a bit scared of her.
Maggie held Isabella and softly said, “Bella, Mommy knows you’re feeling cool right now, but everyone has different tastes
You like being cool and handsome, but some people also like being sweet and cute, like Tommy.
You can’t say others are ugly or disgusting just because their tastes are different from yours. We should respect everyone’s preferences – do you understand what Mommy is saying?”
Maggie knew that her daughter was very smart.

What she said might be hard for other kids to understand, but Isabella would certainly get it.
Sure enough, Isabella did understand.
She knew what she had said was wrong.
But she just couldn’t stand seeing Maggie being nice to other kids.
She pouted, silent.
Maggie ruffled her hair and gently wiped her tears with a handkerchief, “It’s okay to make mistakes, as long as you correct them. But you can’t say those things about others again, alright?”
Seeing that Maggie was still being so kind to her, Isabella calmed down a little, hugged her, and nodded, sniffling. “Got it.”
Maggie smiled, kissed her cheek, then turned to Tommy, “Tommy, this is Bella, my daughter. She knows she was wrong. Will you forgive her?”
Tommy was a bit scared of Isabella, but since Maggie was so gentle with her, and Tommy liked Maggie, she nodded obediently, “Mm, I will.”
“Thank you, Tommy.” Maggie smiled and looked at her daughter, “Bella, what should you do?”
Isabella looked up from Maggie’s arms, “I’m sorry.”
Tommy shyly smiled, “It’s… it’s okay.
With everything finally settled, Maggie breathed a sigh of relief and took both children to the
classroom.
The homeroom teacher led Tommy away, and Maggie squatted down to look at her daughter, gently saying. “Alright, it’s all good now. Let’s go to the classroom, okay?”
Isabella wasn’t shy or afraid of what others might think about her pushing and insulting others. She wasn’t the type to be timid.
She didn’t care what the other kids thought of her.
Suddenly, though, she felt reluctant to let go of Maggie. She held on tight and whispered, “Mom…”

She hadn’t had Maggie’s cooking in a while and suddenly missed it.
But before she could say anything, she remembered that Maggie would be going to see Julia’s competition in the evening.
eyes flickered, and she let go of Maggie, “Never mind.”
She could eat her mom’s food whenever she wanted, but Julia’s competition wasn’t something that happened every day.
Without hesitation, she chose Julia.
“Alright, go on inside. Don’t keep the teacher waiting.”
“Mm.”
Isabella finally let go of her mother, but before entering the classroom, she couldn’t resist looking back and saying, “Mom, remember to call me at noon.”
Maggie nodded, “Okay”
only then did Isabella feel at ease and walk confidently into the classroom.
Maggie watched her stand on the stage, giving her self introduction with confidence, then sit down obediently her seat. She waved her hand before leaving the school, heading for Wilson Group to
work
When she arrived at the company, she didn’t see Franklin, but she did see Jake bringing someone to her desk.
“This is Sherry. She will be taking over your position soon.”
