Chapter 19

As soon as her hair was dry, Isabella announced she wanted to go to sleep.

Maggie noticed her eyes fixed on her phone, knowing she still wanted to play with it. She said, "You can look at it for a while, but then you need to sleep, okay?" know."

Since mommy was free tomorrow, she needed to let Auntie Julie know about this.

Isabella worried about how to tell Julia without hurting her feelings or making her sad, and kept pondering over the best way to break the news.

Already feeling troubled, she grew even more impatient with Maggie's nagging and pushed her toward the door. "Mom, please go. I'll turn off my phone and go to sleep by nine-thirty." Isabella was indeed self-disciplined about this.

Hearing this, Maggie bid her goodnight and left the room.

Isabella immediately closed the door and locked it.

Maggie had barely taken a step when she heard the sound of Isabella locking the door.

She knew Isabella wasn't trying to keep others out.

She was only trying to keep her out.

She probably locked the door because she wanted to discuss something with Julia.

And that was exactly the case.

As soon as Isabella locked the door, she rushed back to open her phone and found Julie's text message: [Auntie Julie...]

What they discussed, Maggie had no way of knowing.

She didn't dwell on it, nor did she care to.
