Chapter 95

Franklin stood up without another word and walked toward the stairs.

After a brief pause, Levi smiled and said. "Well it's definitely more sincere for Franklin to call her."

It was true that when a child asked, the tone could come off as too perfunctory.

Ihlia also understood this logic.

However, she wasn't overly concerned. After all, Franklin's purpose was simply to report to the old lady. Him going upstairs to call Maggie didn't mean anything more. Franklin had never had any feelings for Maggie, and it was even less likely now.

Isabella, on the other hand, was anxious. She tightly pursed her lips, clearly worried.

She was afraid that if Franklin went upstairs to call her, her mother might actually come down. After all, her mother was the most likely to listen to her father.

Back in her room, Maggie had ordered some food and was busy working on her computer.

After a while, she heard the sound of a door opening.

She looked up and saw Franklin entering the room with a room card in hand.

Thinking he had just returned to fetch something, she gave him a cursory glance and then returned her attention to her work.

But before she could continue typing, Franklin spoke.
