hapter 18

Chapter 18

Though Maggie wanted a divorce and didn't plan to fight for Isabella's custody, Isabella was still her daughter, and she had both the obligation and responsibility to be good to her and meet her needs when possible. So when Isabella asked her to peel the shrimp, Maggie responded, "Alright."

As she put down her chopsticks and started peeling the shrimp, the elderly lady suddenly paused looking at her hands, "Mag, where's your ring?"

At her words, everyone - including Franklin- looked at Maggie's hands.

After marriage, despite their ice-cold relationship, Maggie had always worn the wedding ring the elderly lady had prepared for them. In contrast, Franklin had never worn his.

His wedding ring had been discarded somewhere unknown. All these years, Maggie had worn the ring everywhere, reluctant to remove it. Everyone was used to this.

Maria had often mocked her for it over the years.
