Chapter 223
Not long after returning to the company, Maggieâs phone rang.
When she saw who was calling, she paused for a moment before quickly answering, âGrandfather Yves.â
Grandfather Yves, along with Old Master Wilson and her own grandfather, had been close friends for many years.
Since moving to the capital, her grandfather and Grandfather Yves often brought her along when they
met.
She could be said to have grown up under Grandfather Yvesâs watch.
Grandfather Yves had poor health and had gone abroad to recuperate a few years ago. He hadnât returned since then.
On the other end of the line, Grandfather Yvesâs cheerful voice came through. âGrandfather Yvesâs back in the country. Maggie, will you come and have a meal with this old man on the weekend?â
Maggie immediately agreed. âSure!â
Grandfather Yves laughed and added, âBy the way, remember to bring Franklin along.â
Maggieâs smile faltered for a moment. Before she could respond, Grandfather Yves had already hung up, as guests had arrived to visit him.
Maggie held her phone and hesitated for a moment before sending a message to Franklin.
[Grandfather Yves wants us to visit him this weekend.]
After sending the message, Maggie put her phone aside and continued with her work.
The next morning, just after arriving at the company, her phone rang again.
It was a message from Franklin.
[Okay.]
He was replying to the message she had sent yesterday afternoon.

Maggie was about to put down her phone when another message from him came in.
[Saturday or Sunday? Morning or afternoon? No specific time?]
Before she had time to respond, a third message popped up.
[Could you call Grandfather Yves to confirm the time?]
Maggie didnât reply immediately but called Grandfather Yves to confirm the time. After hanging up, she sent the specific details to Franklin.
Franklin replied quickly this time.
[Okay, I got it.]
Saturday morning.
Maggie drove to Grandfather Yvesâs old residence.
Most of the Yves family were abroad, so when Maggie arrived at the old residence, besides a few servants, Grandfather Yves was the only one there.
When he found out she had arrived, Grandfather Yves personally came out to greet her. âOur Maggie is here?â
âMm,â Maggie smiled, relieved to see that he seemed in good spirits. But she couldnât help but say, âYouâve lost quite a bit of weight.â
Grandfather Yves laughed. âYes, Iâve lost some weight, but Iâm still doing well. Donât worry.â
Maggie and Grandfather Yves entered the house.
Grandfather Yves invited her to drink tea.
Not seeing Franklin, he didnât ask any questions. Maggie understood immediately that he must have
known about the divorce and her situation with Franklin.
Grandfather Yves didnât bring up Franklin, nor did he mention Isabella. It seemed that he knew not only about the divorce but also that the custody of Isabella wasnât with her.
Since he didnât ask, Maggie didnât bring it up either.
They chatted while drinking tea, and about twenty minutes later, one of the servants came in and said

there were guests.
Grandfather Yves didnât say anything, signaling that he had no intention of going out to greet them.
Grandfather Yves then offered Maggie some pastries, which she took and nibbled on.
At that moment, the voice of the butler came from the side door. âYoung Master Wilson, please come in.â
Grandfather Yves glanced over, but after just a brief glance, his expression darkened.
Maggie tensed up, and the sound of high heels confirmed her suspicion.
She tilted her head slightly, and Franklin and Juliaâs figures came into view.
Franklin and Julia both saw him.
FranklÃn only glanced at Maggie before turning his attention away and called out to Grandfather Yves,
âGrandfather Yves.â
Grandfather Yves snorted and didnât respond. Franklin introduced, âGrandfather Yves, this is Julia.â
Julia completely ignored Maggieâs presence.
After Franklin finished speaking, Julia smiled politely and greeted Grandfather Yves. âHello, Grandfather
Yves.â
Since Grandfather Yves already knew about the divorce between Maggie and Franklin, he was aware of their relationship and Juliaâs involvement.
He truly hadnât expected Franklin to bring Julia directly to meet him.
Grandfather Yves sneered and said, âI donât have a granddaughter like you, so donât call me that.â
âGrandfather Yves,â Franklin called again, clearly displeased by Grandfather Yvesâs attitude toward Julia.
Grandfather Yves kept a cold face, saying nothing.
Franklin, who was very familiar with the Wilson familyâs old residence, didnât mind the cold reception. He and Julia casually walked to the other side of the sofa and sat down.
Only a few days ago, Franklin had brought Julia back to the old residence. Now, he couldnât even wait to bring her to meet other important people?

Maggie thought about this, then turned her attention back to her tea.
It seemed that Franklin was treating this as if it were his own home,
Grandfather Yves ignored him and Julia, and Franklin, not caring at all, served tea for both himself and
julia,
Grandfather Yves frowned and slapped his hand. âDonât touch the tea I brewed!â
Franklin laughed. âThen should I brew it myself?â
Grandfather Yves was really angry,
He ignored Franklin and looked at Maggie, âCome on, Maggie, letâs go out for a meal.â
Maggie put down her teacup, stood up, and replied, âOkay,â
With that, Grandfather Yves didnât spare another glance at Franklin and walked out with Maggie.
Franklin remained seated on the sofa, calmly sipping his tea. He neither followed them nor tried to stop them from leaving.
Julia looked at Maggie and Grandfather Yvesâs departing figures. âThisâ¦â
Franklin replied, âItâs fine. In time, everything will be okay.â
So, he meant that, with time, Grandfather Yves would accept the situation and gradually begin to accept
her, right?
