Chapter 40

Perhaps because they hadn’t officially divorced yet, Franklin didn’t want to disturb the

elderly lady and hadn’t had anyone touch her things.

She pulled her thoughts back, took a set of pajamas and a towel, and left the master bedroom to go to Isabella’s room.

Isabella was sitting on the bed, playing with her tablet. When she saw the clothes in

Maggie’s hand, she asked curiously, “Mommy, are you going to take a bath in my room?”

Maggie replied, “Mmm.”

She hadn’t been in the bathroom for long when Franklin entered Isabella’s room.

When he saw her glance towards the bathroom, Isabella said, “Mommy is taking a shower

inside.”

Franklin, “Mhm.”

He then asked, “Did you ask your mommy to take a shower here?”

“No, Mommy brought her own clothes over.”

Franklin didn’t ask further. He spoke a few more words to her and told her to rest early

before turning to leave.

In the bathroom, Maggie heard some noise, knowing that Franklin had arrived, but she

couldn’t make out what they were saying.

Isabella was still recovering from her illness. After taking medicine, she was prone to

drowsiness. Seeing that it was getting late, Maggie decided to lie down beside her on the bed

after finishing her shower.

Isabella nestled into her arms and rubbed her cheek against Maggie’s shoulder. “Mommy,

you smell so good and feel so soft.”
