Franklin didn’t answer immediately and instead asked, “Do you want to have lunch with Dad, or with your mom and the others?”
Isabella was a little confused. “Huh? Aren’t we having lunch together?”
Franklin replied, “Mm, but I have something to take care of.”
Maggie and Hugo heard what Franklin said but didn’t comment.
Franklin ruffled Isabella’s hair and said, “No rush. Let’s ski first. We can think about lunch afterward.”
“Okay!”
The three kids were chatting not far away. Maggie put on her ski goggles and looked over at Franklin. “Has the divorce not been finalized yet?”
Franklin nodded. “Not yet.”
After a brief pause, he added, “If you need money, I can transfer some to your account.”
Maggie was about to respond but before she could, Isabella called her from afar. “Mom, hurry up!”

She knew that if they did business with Wilson, the Brown family and the Green family would definitely cause trouble.
Even if Franklin truly wanted to thank her and her grandmother, offering her uncle the project would be a way to fulfill that. But she also knew that the person Franklin loved was Julia.
If Franklin softened one day and used this favor to manipulate her, it would become their weakness. The consequences would ultimately fall on the Miller family.
She didn’t want his project, and she didn’t trust his motivations.
With a cold tone, she added, “You don’t need to worry. After the divorce, we’ll go our separate ways. I won’t cling to you anymore.”
In her mind, this was just another way for Franklin to draw a clear line between them. He was afraid she
would cling to him, but she had already decided not to.
Franklin listened to her, and after a few seconds of silence, he finally said, “Okay.”
He then turned to Isabella and asked, “Isabella, you-”
