The Heart I Gave The Love I Lost

Chapter 158

But when it cto Maggie, even though she smiled when interacting with the child during the game, it still felt

a bit different.

It was as though she and her husband and child were disconnected from each other.

However, remembering the parent-teacher meeting last time, when Maggie's daughter had a clear bond with

that other woman, it was normal for Maggie to feel like an outsider in her

husband and daughter's relationship.

After all, who wouldn't feel uncomfortable when their child becclose to the person who

disrupted their marriage?

Thinking this, Tommy's mom felt that Maggie must be struggling emotionally.

But when she looked at Maggie, she didn’t know how to offer comfort.

Maggie noticed the pity and sympathy in her eyes.

Maggie smiled.

The most painful moments for her had passed.

She knew that Julia must have been busy, which was why Franklin and Isabella had asked her to attend the

activity.

So, today, she truly felt like an outsider.

At that moment, Franklin and Isabella returned.

Isabella leaned over to see the video Maggie had filmed. Maggie sent the video to both her and Franklin, saying,

“I've sent it to you. You can watch it on your tablet.”

“Okay,” Isabella said.

After three games, the parent-child activity games officially ended.

Isabella had won two champion trophies.

After receiving the trophies, Isabella held them up and asked Franklin to take pictures of

her.

Franklin took several photos for her.

Then Isabella turned to Maggie, “Mom, take a few pictures ofwith Dad.”

“Okay.”

Maggie took four or five pictures of Isabella and Franklin at her request.

After sending them to Isabella, Franklin suddenly said, “Lettake a few pictures of you

and Isabella as well.”

“Yes, Mom, hurry up.”

“Mm.”

Franklin took Maggie's phone and began taking photos of her and Isabella.

After the photos were taken, Maggie got her phone back, and after a while, her phone rang.

It was a call from Johnny.

Maggie said, “I'm going to take this call.”

“Okay, Mom!” Isabella replied.

“Mm,” Franklin said.

After talking for more than ten minutes about work, when Maggie turned back around, she saw that Franklin and

Isabella seemed to be video-calling someone.

She didn’t approach them.

Instead, she started looking at the work documents Johnny had sent her.

A while later, Isabella waved at her. “Mom, cover so we can take a group photo, then

we can go eat.”

Maggie walked over, and the three of them, along with the other parents, took a group

photo.

Teacher also took pictures of each family.

With that, the parent-child activity at Isabella's school cto an official end.

Just as Maggie was about to leave, Franklin cover to retrieve his coat and asked, “Where do you want to

eat?”

Before Maggie could respond, Isabella raised her hand and said, “I want to eat BBQ, the splace we went last

time!”

Franklin pinched her cheek and said, “That place was too far. You have class this afternoon, and we'll run out of

time.”

“Okay,” Isabella sighed. “Then let's go for seafood?”

Franklin didn’t answer. Instead, he asked Maggie, “What do you want to eat?”

Maggie said, “You two go ahead, | won't join you.”

“Ah? Mom's not going?” Isabella asked.

“Mm.” She gently patted Isabella's head. “Mom's leaving first, you two enjoy your meal.”

“Okay...” Isabella looked disappointed.

Maggie smiled lightly, said nothing more, and turned to leave without looking back.

Franklin watched her retreating figure but didn’t say anything to stop her. Instead, he said to Isabella, “Let's go

too.”

“Okay.”

As soon as they got into the car, Franklin's phone rang.

It was a call from Grandma Wilson.

He picked up the call, and Grandma Wilson immediately gritted her teeth. “Did you open a project for the Brown

and Green families at hand at the company?!”

Franklin responded with an “Mm” and smiled. “You just found out?”

“You!” Grandma Wilson beceven angrier. “What do you mean by this? Are you planning to divorce Mag or

something?”

Otherwise, he wouldn't be doing such a blatant thing.

Since he dared to bring the Brown and Green families into the Wilson family business, it meant he wasn’t afraid

of her knowing. That meant he had already made up his mind.

Before he could say anything, Grandma Wilson continued, “I don’t agree! And if you want to open the project, |

don’t oppose it, but you must change the people working on it. If you don’t change it, I'll-”

“Grandma,” Franklin said in a calm tone, “I fulfilled the promises | made to you before we got married. Please

honor your own commitments and stop interfering with my decisions.”

In other words, the Brown and Green families were off-limits for her.

“You...” Grandma Wilson was silent.

Since Franklin took over the Wilson Corporation, it had been flourishing year after year.

Over time, the major shareholders and the core management of the company had all realized that following

Franklins direction would almost always lead to success.

If she tried to intervene with him, the other shareholders would probably be the first to oppose it.

This meant that now, the Wilson Corporation could not do without Franklin.

It wasn’t that Franklin couldn't survive without the Wilson Corporation.

Using the Wilson Corporation as leverage wouldn't work against him.

As for emotional threats?

As Franklin had said, marrying Maggie had already been a compromise on his part.

Grandma Wilson knew he wasn’t the type to keep retreating for anyone. Once he had what

he wanted, he would be loyal to himself.

If she really pushed him too far...
