She then added, “It’s cold outside, go inside quickly.”
“Got it.” Isabella waved at Maggie and went inside with the butler.
Maggie watched them, turned the car around, and drove away.
After Isabella entered the house, she asked the butler, “Where’s Daddy?”
“He should be in the study.”
Isabella went upstairs and found the study door open. At that moment, Franklin’s tall figure was leaning against the window, looking out, as if smoking a cigarette.
“Daddy.”
“Mrh?” Franklin turned around.
Isabella said, “Mommy had something to do, so she left right after coming back.”
Franklin put out his cigarette in the ashtray and said, “Mm, Daddy knows. I saw.”
Isabella wrinkled her little nose, “Mommy’s so busy lately, she’s almost as busy as you now.”
Franklin smiled slightly, “Mm.”
It wasn’t late, and Isabella was tired. She yawned and said, “I’m going to take a shower and sleep. Goodnight, Daddy.
“Goodnight. Sweet dreams.”
Maggie returned home, washed up, and went straight to bed.
The next day, she went to work on time.
In the afternoon, due to work needs, she, along with Simon and other technical staff, went to Wilson Tech to handle some technical maintenance work

For whatever reason, in these past two years, it had mostly been Franklin who took care of Isabella.
Now, whether Franklin had personal arrangements that made it inconvenient for him to take her or whether he truly had
al engagements, since he wasn’t available, Maggie had the responsibility to take care of Isabella.
Maggie returned to the villa.
At dinner, she asked Isabella where she wanted to go on the weekend.
Isabella thought for a moment, then shook her head. “I don’t have any special place I want
to go.”
Maggie didn’t point it out. Instead, she asked. “Do you want to go horseback riding?”
It was the instructor who noticed her and stood up, greeting her. “Miss Miller.”
Maggie actually knew how to ride horses, but when Isabella was younger, when she took her to the equestrian club, she focused all her attention on Isabella and didn’t ride much herself.
