The Heart I Gave The Love I Lost

Chapter 88

Maggie paused. Was her grandmother implying that Franklin would also be coming home late tonight?

“It’s fine. But even if you’re busy, don’t forget to eat well,” her grandmother said gently.

“I will. Thanks, Grandma.”

After hanging up, her takeout arrived. She ate quickly and then continued working until nearly 10 PM before leaving the office.

She hadn’t driven herself today, so she had called the driver half an hour earlier to arrange a ride. By the time she finished her work, the driver should have arrived.

When she got downstairs, she found that the driver was already waiting. However, it wasn’t the driver she’d arranged with; instead, it was Franklin’s driver.

And Franklin himself was sitting in the back seat.

Seeing her hesitate to get in, Franklin slowly rolled down the window and looked at her. “Grandma asked me to pick you up.”

Maggie didn’t say much, simply walked around and got into the car, sitting in the same spot she had occupied in the morning. The car smoothly merged into the traffic.

The car quickly fell into a quiet stillness. Franklin was focused on his phone, not paying

attention to her.

Maggie, however, suddenly remembered something and asked, “Did they agree?”

She was asking about whether Julia’s uncle and the others had agreed not to move into the house across from her family’s house.
