When she received the call from Franklin, she thought he had already returned home.

As she entered, she didn’t see Franklin and assumed he was in the study. But now, after

hearing Isabella’s words, she realized that Franklin hadn’t come back yet.

The hotel hosting the banquet today was closer to here than her current residence. Plus, he

had left the party at least half an hour earlier than her.

Even if he had dropped Julia off first, by this time, he should have already arrived home.

However, if he didn’t leave Julia’s place right away after dropping her off or had no

intention of coming home tonight, then that would be another story.

Franklin was back.

“Daddy!”

“Hmm.” Franklin entered and walked over to the bedside.

Seeing him, Maggie wanted to put down Isabella to give Franklin more space, but Isabella was unwilling to leave her arms. She reached out to Franklin.

Franklin leaned over and picked up Isabella.
