The Heart I Gave The Love I Lost

Chapter 6

Maggie didn’t know about Franklin’s return. Nobody had told her.

It had been half a month since she moved out of the villa. During this time, she had

gradually grown accustomed to and come to enjoy the quiet, leisurely life of living alone.

Today was weekend, and she had slept in a bit. After getting up and washing, she opened the curtains to find perfect sunshine outside.

She stretched, watered her plants, and was about to make herself a simple breakfast when the doorbell rang. It was Mrs. Smith from across the hall.

“Maggie, hope I didn’t disturb you?”

Maggie replied gently: “Not at all, I was already awake.”

“That’s good.” Mrs. Smith warmly said: “These are freshly made pies and pasta from our

home this morning. Brought some for you to try.”

“Thank you, this is too kind.”

“It’s the least we could do. If you hadn’t saved our Tommy from that mad dog the other day, who knows what would have happened.

We’ve been wanting to properly thank you, but my husband and I have been so busy with work, we couldn’t find the time… we feel quite embarrassed…”

“It was nothing, Mrs. Smith, you’re too kind.”

After some more pleasantries, Mrs. Smith left.

Back inside, Maggie ate breakfast while studying the algorithmic mechanism of an AI system she’d been researching recently.
