Chapter 224

Maggie and Franklin’s marriage had been something Grandfather Yves had observed for the first few years. Franklin had never liked Maggie from the beginning. Now, he had someone else he liked.

Franklin had good relationships with Wilson’s matriarch, Grandfather Yves, and other elders, but he was never one to be influenced by them.

So, no matter how much Grandfather Yves or the matriarch disapproved of Franklin’s relationship with Julia, they couldn’t do much about it, nor could they persuade him.

Even if Grandfather Yves was angry, all he could do was stew in his own frustration.

Thinking of this, Grandfather Yves lightly patted Maggie’s hand. “These years… sigh.”

Maggie understood that he was expressing his sympathy for her.

She smiled and said, “I’ve let go of it all. I’ve started my new life, and I’m doing well. Grandfather Yves, you don’t need to worry about me.”

Grandfather Yves smiled back. “That’s good.”

After dinner, when Maggie was sending Grandfather Yves back to the Yves family’s old residence, Franklin and Julia had already left.

Perhaps Franklin hadn’t bothered to check on Isabella after leaving the Yves family’s old residence, because just as Maggie was about to leave, Isabella called her.

Maggie glanced at the phone but didn’t answer.

Later that evening, when Maggie went back to the Miller family’s house for dinner, she found an

invitation card on the coffee table.

Opening it, she saw that it was an invitation to the matriarch of Wilson family’s seventy–fifth birthday

party.

There was still some time before the matriarch’s birthday arrived, but there had been a fortune–teller who said that the matriarch should not host a grand birthday celebration for the past ten years, or it would bring a fatal calamity.

The matriarch believed this, so for the past ten years, her birthdays had been simple family affairs with

no grand celebrations.

Now, the ten–year period was over, and Felix and Franklin had already discussed that this year, they would throw a grand birthday party for the matriarch.

Perhaps because of this, even though the birthday party was still some time away, they had already
