Chapter 228
In the following days, Maggie once again took time out of her schedule to attend two or three more events.
She had bumped into Julia twice during these events. However, on both occasions, Franklin hadn’t accompanied her.
By March, the rain had started to become more frequent.
After finishing a discussion session, Maggie noticed that it had begun raining outside. She had brought an umbrella with her, but she had left it in the car.
She started walking toward the entrance, planning to wait for the rain to lessen before leaving.
Before she could even reach the door, she spotted Julia, who was talking to someone. When she saw Maggie, her smile faded slightly.
At that moment, Franklin appeared with an umbrella in hand. It was clear he had come specifically to pick up Julia.
He took off his coat and draped it over Julia’s shoulders.
Onlookers who were waiting for the rain to ease couldn’t help but gaze at them with admiration, some even gasping in surprise.
Franklin, noticing Maggie, paused for a moment.
Maggie remained expressionless.
He quickly withdrew his gaze, reopened his umbrella, and walked off with Julia.
The wind was picking up that day, and with the coat on Julia’s shoulders, even if some rain got past the umbrella, the coat would shield her from getting wet.
It was a thoughtful gesture, one that spoke of Franklin’s care and attention.
Soon, their figures disappeared through the entrance.
A while later, Franklin’s driver appeared from the parking lot, holding an umbrella in his hand. He approached Maggie and handed it to her.

Chapter 228
“Madam, Mr. Wilson asked me to bring you this umbrella.”
Maggie didn’t take it, instead replying, “No need. You can take it back.”
Earlier, when Old Madam Wilson had mentioned that Franklin would try to get along with her for the sake of Isabella, he had shown concern for her at the last seminar.
Now, he was once again sending her an umbrella in front of Julia…
If Julia was okay with Franklin sending her an umbrella, it meant she was confident enough in their relationship to understand that Franklin wasn’t doing it out of affection.
It was simply because of Isabella’s request to show her a bit of kindness when needed.
The driver hesitated. “But-”
Maggie cut him off. “He won’t mind. Please go back.”
Seeing that she was resolute, the driver reluctantly took the umbrella and left.
After that, the driver didn’t show up again.
However, the rain continued without any sign of stopping.
Maggie glanced at the time, contemplating whether to wait longer or brave the rain and leave.
At that moment, a familiar voice rang out before her.
“Let me walk you out. I’ll give you a ride.”
It was Harry.
It was already getting dark, and with the rain showing no signs of letting up, she wasn’t sure how much longer she’d have to wait.
Maggie didn’t refuse. “Thank you.”
