Chapter 3

Since the couple hadn’t seen each other for months, and Maggie had made a special trip here only to leave without even seeing Franklin, Auntie Sara couldn’t help but remind him:

“Sir, Madam didn’t look well when she left. She seemed angry.”

Auntie Sara had initially thought Maggie must have had some urgent matter to rush back

home.

Only now, learning that Franklin didn’t even know about her departure, did she sense something was wrong.

Angry? In front of him, Maggie had always been gentle and accoinmodating. So she could get angry too?

How novel.

Franklin gave a dismissive smile, brushed off Auntie Sara with a casual response, and went

upstairs.

Back in his room, just as he was about to open Maggie’s letter, Julia called. After answering the phone, he carelessly tossed the envelope aside and left the room.

Shortly after, the envelope fell from the bed to the floor. That night, Franklin didn’t come

home.

The next day, when Auntie Sara came up to clean, she saw the envelope on the floor and recognized it as the one Maggie had asked her to give to Franklin yesterday.

Assuming he had read it, she simply put it in a nearby drawer.

After landing, Maggie went straight upstairs to pack when she
