Franklin, however, showed no change in expression.
The meeting table was rectangular, and Rexâs seat was directly opposite Maggie and Franklin. He smiled
and nodded at Rex before walking over to sit next to Maggie.
Maggie silently looked at her phone, showing no intention of greeting him even as he sat down.
Franklin, however, turned to look at her, âYouâve lost weight. Been very busy these days?â
Maggie knew he was speaking to her, but she didnât respond, keeping her eyes focused on the documents
in her hands.
At that moment, someone approached Franklin to greet him, and he stood up to exchange pleasantries.
Soon, most of the people had arrived, and several political figures, including Jordan Hall, entered the meeting room.
Upon seeing Maggie and Franklin, Jordan paused. Like Reed, he hadnât known who Maggieâs husband was when she mentioned she was married.
It was only after Reed met with Maggie and had dinner with her that he found out her husband was actually Franklin.
Now, seeing them sitting together, they didnât appear like a married couple, and in fact, they seemed like complete strangers. Jordan quickly withdrew his gaze.
The forum officially began, and neither Maggie nor Franklin spoke. It wasnât until they were called to give their speeches that they finally spoke.
The government staff arranged lunch for Maggie and the other business representatives. After the meeting concluded, Maggie packed up her things and stood up to leave.
Franklin watched her back as he followed behind her.
Rex and Jordan had close ties, and they were quite familiar with each other. As they left the conference room, Rex took the initiative to greet Jimmy.
Maggie ignored Rex, who was standing next to Jordan, and walked up to Jordan, greeting him with, âMr.
Hall.â

Jordan smiled, his tone warm as he said, âYou donât need to be so formal all the time, just call me Unde
Hall.â
Maggie complied, âUncle Hall.â
Rex paused for a moment. If he recalled correctly, Maggie had first met Jordan at an art exhibition held by Jordanâs father.
Even though Jordan had been courteous to her back then because of Johnny, they werenât exactly close.
But now, Jordan not only recognized her right away, but also greeted her with such warmthâas if Maggie were someone he had watched grow up, just like a child of his own family.
Moreover, when Maggie addressed him, her posture as a junior was respectful yet confident, as though she were very familiar with him.
At that moment, Franklin also walked over and greeted Jordan, âUncle Hall.â
Jordanâs smile faded a little when he saw Franklin. The Hall and Wilson families werenât very close, and although he had worked with Franklin a few times in the past, they werenât particularly familiar.
He had always regarded Franklin as a talented and humble individual, someone who was highly accomplished and polite when interacting with others.
As for Franklinâs personal life, Jordan had never paid much attention.
However, Jordan distinctly remembered that during the art exhibition last year, Franklin had a girlfriend, and it seemed like everyone knew about it.
On the other hand, the news about Maggieâs marriage had never been widely known. Back then, when they appeared at the exhibition, it looked as if they didnât even know each other.
So when he learned that Maggieâs husband was actually Franklin, and that they already had a few children aged five or six, he had been quite shocked.
But now, seeing them together at this gathering, the way they interactedâor rather, the lack of interactionâmade him suspect that maybe they had already divorced by then.
The group proceeded to the dining area. When they sat down, Franklin positioned himself next to Maggie.
Rex noticed this and furrowed his brow. He had already seen Franklin speak to Maggie during the meeting. Although he couldnât hear their conversation, Franklin had been unusually gentle in his manner toward Maggie, and there seemed to be a familiarity between them. Now, Franklin even

deliberately sat next to herâ¦
The more Rex observed, the deeper his frown became.
He had never seen them so close before. It was starting to make him wonder if there was more going on between them than just a casual professional relationship.
Maggie remained quiet, listening to Jordan and the other officials talk while quietly eating her meal. Although Franklin sat next to her, he was engrossed in conversations with others, not making much
effort to talk to her.
It wasnât until the meal was nearly over that Franklin finally spoke to her, âIsabella is starting school soon. Are you planning to personally take her on her first day?â
Maggie lowered her head and responded indifferently, âIâm busy, I donât have time.â
Franklin merely smiled and replied, âAlright, I understand.â
Then he turned back to chat with the others.
Rex had been paying close attention to them, and as he watched Franklin talk to Maggie again, he couldnât help but think-
But then he reconsidered. Maybe Franklin was just speaking to Maggie in front of everyone because it was natural and public, not necessarily anything more.
After all, Wilson Tech and Cole had a partnership, so Franklin was probably just being polite, not implying anything else.
Rex shifted his gaze away and focused on his meal. However, as he looked at Jordan again, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.
He quickly took out his phone and sent a message to Jimmy: âDid Uncle Hall and Maggie know each other before your grandfatherâs art exhibition?â
