Chapter 537
Maggie understood very clearly why things had turned out this way.
She sat there for a long time, silent.
The next day, she personally took Isabella to school before heading back to work.
That afternoon, when it was time for Isabella to get out of school, Maggie pick up her phone and called her.
Isabella was delighted to hear from her. “Mom! What’s up?”
“Nothing much. Just wanted to call you. Are you coming back to your great grandma’s later? I’ll have them make more of your favorite dishes.”
Isabella nodded eagerly. “Yes!”
After chatting with her a bit more, Maggie hung up.
Isabella didn’t know why Maggie had suddenly called her, but she was still very happy that her mom had reached out on her own.
She thought it was just a one–off.
She didn’t expect that the next day after school, Maggie would call again.
Not just that. On the third and fourth day, Maggie would still call, asking whether work was busy, roughly what time she’d be home, if Isabella wanted anything, and whether she should bring something back after work…
Isabella was so happy that she bounced around Maggie’s room.
Franklin also made time to call Isabella almost every day.
Every day, Isabella couldn’t help telling him, “Dad, Mom called me again today!”
Franklin smiled. “Mm. Dad knows.”
“Mom still hasn’t come home?”
“Yeah. Mom says work is really busy right now, and she has to work overtime every day.”
“Dad knows.”
“Oh…”
Just then, Maggie came home.
Seeing her, Isabella threw herself into Maggie’s arms and clung to her. “Mom, you’re back! I missed you so much.”
Maggie patted her head. “Have you showered?”
“I just finished.”
After chatting with Maggie for a bit, Isabella suddenly remembered she was still on the phone with Franklin. “Dad, Mom’s home. I’m hanging up now.”
Franklin smiled. “Okay.”
Maggie knew that father and daughter talked on the phone every day.
But between her and Franklin, aside from that one day he went abroad, there had been no communication at all.
Even so, she still knew a few things about him.
