The Heart I Gave The Love I Lost

Chapter 109

On Friday night, after work, Maggie returned to Franklin’s villa.

She was surprised to find that he was at home. It was quite rare for him to be home at this

hour.

Franklin was on the phone. When he heard her footsteps, he glanced at her, then turned

back to continue his call.

The housekeeper knew that Maggie was going to take Isabella to the Miller family house, so he had already prepared the food, intending for her and Isabella to eat before leaving.

But since Maggie planned to eat at the Miller family house, she politely declined.

“No need,” she said.

The housekeeper hesitated, then looked to Franklin for guidance.

Franklin, who hadn’t finished his call yet but was likely listening to their conversation,

moved the phone away from his mouth and said, “Listen to Madam.”

After that, he returned to his call.

Maggie nodded and turned to Isabella. “Let’s go, Isabella.”

“Okay.” Isabella waved to Franklin. “Dad, we’re leaving now. Bye!”

Franklin waved back with a slight nod, “Goodbye.”

Maggie didn’t speak to Franklin at all and simply took Isabella and left.

Franklin didn’t seem to notice anything unusual. After saying goodbye to Isabella, he continued his call while watching them leave.

The birthday party for her grandmother was a grand affair. After they returned to the
