The Heart I Gave The Love I Lost

Chapter 87

As soon as she thought of this, a wave of bitterness rose in Maggie’s throat. Suddenly, the

air in the car felt thick and stuffy.

She looked away from her thoughts, intending to roll down the window for some fresh air, but paused just before pressing the button.

In the end, she didn’t open the window. Instead, she turned her head slightly and looked

out the window.

She wasn’t sure how much time passed, but soon, the car arrived at Isabella’s school.

Maggie got out of the car to accompany her inside, while Franklin stayed in the car.

“Dad…” Isabella looked back at him, clearly hoping he would get out of the car with them.

“Dad has something to do,” Franklin answered shortly.

“Oh…” Isabella’s shoulders drooped slightly, and she followed her teacher into the school.

Maggie stood by the car. Despite the lingering awkwardness, she chose not to push the

situation further. She turned toward the car and told Franklin, “You go ahead. I’ll take a taxi

to the company later.”

Franklin glanced at her briefly and said, “It’s on the way.”

Maggie hesitated. She didn’t want to ride in his car, but she also didn’t want to make a big deal of it. Since he didn’t seem to care, why should she?

In the end, she said nothing. After watching Isabella enter the school, she turned and got

back into the car.

The atmosphere in the car remained tense and silent. Franklin was still looking at his phone, and Maggie didn’t feel like breaking the silence. She opened the documents that

Johnny had sent her and became absorbed in them.

Before she knew it, the car had reached the parking lot of Cole’s office building. Maggie didn’t even notice until she heard Franklin’s voice.

“We’re here.”

She looked up to see the car stopped in front of the building. The car, a luxurious Bentley, was drawing attention from several people around.
