Chapter 205
“Okay…”
Maggie then asked, “Have you taken a shower?”
“Not yet, but I will soon.”
“Go take a shower first. Mom still has things to do, so I’m going to hang up now.”
“We just started talking, and you’re already hanging up?” Isabella didn’t want to end the call. She looked
at the call time and said, “Mom, we’ve only talked for two minutes. Can we talk a little longer?”
Maggie replied, “Next time when Mom is free, if you want to chat, we’ll talk more.”
Hearing Maggie say this, Isabella reluctantly replied, “Okay… but you have to keep your word.”
Maggie responded, “Okay.”
Isabella then said, “Well then… Mom, goodbye.”
Maggie: “Goodbye.”
After the call ended, Maggie hung up the phone.
Isabella, remembering that she hadn’t told her mom that she bought her a gift, was about to say it, but when she realized Maggie had already hung up, she felt disappointed.
She put the phone down and went to the study to find Franklin.
Franklin was having a video conference in the study. When he saw her approach, he turned off the camera and muted the sound, asking, “What’s wrong? Did you not get through on the phone?”
Isabella shook her head and said, “I got through to her.”
Franklin, holding her in his arms, gently rubbed her forehead with his thumb, his gaze soft as he looked at her eyes and brows that resembled his own. “You’re not happy that you got through to her?”
Isabella furrowed her brows slightly. “I’m happy, but…”
She had not spoken to her mother in such a long time. After finishing the call with her, she was still

happy, but…
Franklin asked, “But what?”
Isabella murmured, “But I feel a bit unhappy, too.”
“Sounds a bit deep, huh? But…” Franklin propped his chin with his hand and smiled. “It’s probably because you haven’t seen your mom in so long. You miss her. Once she’s free, she can spend more time with you.”
Isabella nodded but pouted, “But mom’s so busy. She said she won’t be able to spend time with me until
next month…”
“Then wait until next month. Dad will keep you company until then.”
“Mm.”
Isabella was tired too. After chatting for a while, she yawned, got up from his embrace, and went back to
her room to rest.
The next day was New Year’s Eve.
Almost the entire morning had passed, and neither Stella nor Yancy had seen Maggie.
Her husband had returned to see the old lady during New Year’s Day, but Maggie had not been back even once. Stella thought something must have happened in the Miller family.
Yesterday, after the old lady was discharged from the hospital, Maggie was still absent.
Franklin said she was busy, and because of Maggie’s feelings for her son, Stella knew she wouldn’t easily divorce him. She hadn’t thought too much about it.
But today, it was New Year’s Eve.
Maggie didn’t have the same profession as her husband. Even if she was busy and there were major issues in the Miller family, there was no reason for her to not even make it back once over the past two
days.
So…
Around eleven o’clock, when Franklin came downstairs, Stella couldn’t help but ask, “Did you and Maggie get divorced?”
