Chapter 38

When she received the call from Franklin, she thought he had already returned home.

As she entered, she didn’t see Franklin and assumed he was in the study. But now, after hearing isabella’s words, she realized. that Franklin hadn’t come back yet.

hotel hosting the banquet today was closer to here than her current residence. Plus, he had left the party at least half an
