The Heart I Gave The Love I Lost (Sarah and Alexander) novel Chapter 21

Chapter 14 

However, he didn’t think too deeply about it, assuming Maggie had probably returned to 

her family. 

When he entered the bathroom, he suddenly remembered that whenever Maggie visited her family in the past, she would always take Isabella along. 

Today was unusually different she hadn’t taken their daughter. Could it be that she hadn’t gone to her family after all? 

Then again, perhaps something had happened at her household. 

The words Chad spoke when leaving the company this afternoon flashed through his mind, and Franklin became certain of this possibility. He paused mid–step but decided not to 

intervene. 

The next morning, while having breakfast, Franklin said to Isabella, “The enrollment procedures are complete. 

You’ll report to school tomorrow morning.” “I know,” Isabella wrinkled her little 

e nose. 

“Dad, can you take me to school tomorrow?” “I might not be free.” “Oh, alright.” Isabella’s eyes darted around before suddenly lighting up. She said cheerfully, 

“Then I’ll call Aunt Julia later and ask her to take me to school. 

Before Franklin could respond, his phone rang. It was a call from the family estate. When he answered, it was Franklin’s grandmother’s voice on the other end. 

“I heard you’re back in the country?” “Yes.” “Did Bella come back with you?” “She did.” “It’s been so long since I’ve seen Bella, I miss her. Tonight, bring her and Mag over for dinner.” 

“Understood.” 

The elderly lady then asked, “Where’s Mag? Let me talk to her.” “She’s not here.” “How could she not be here at this hour?” “She probably went back to her family.” “Probably? As

her husband, you don’t even know where your wife went?” 

Franklin remained silent. “You” Grandmother sighed and finally fell silent. At this point, Franklin’s tone softened slightly, though he changed the subject, “Have you eaten?” “I’m full 

of anger!” 

Franklin gave a small laugh. He continued eating his breakfast methodically. Grandmother knew that this grandson had always had his own mind since childhood. 

The current state of his marriage with Maggie was already a major compromise for Franklin. Given his personality, even if it was for his own good, she couldn’t push too hard. 

Thinking of this, she sighed, “Fine, this old lady has nothing more to say to you, hmph.” “Mm, see you tonight.” “You – hmph!” Grandmother hung up in frustration. 

Isabella hadn’t been paying attention at first, but after catching the latter part of the conversation, she asked curiously, “Dad, who was that?” “Your great–grandmother.” 

Remembering the elderly lady’s words, Franklin said while dialing Maggie’s number, “She 

wants us to 

go back for dinner tonight.” 

Great–grandmother had always been good to Isabella, and she loved her great–grandmother 

too. 

Upon hearing this, she happily said, “Great! I haven’t seen great–grandmother in so long, I miss her.” Franklin looked at his phone and made a sound of acknowledgment.
