Chapter 251: Divorce LONG 252

Chapter 252

Maggie returned Harry’s call, asking if there was something urgent that he had called her about a few

days ago.

Harry replied, “I just wanted to video chat with you, nothing special.” Both Maggie and Harry had work

to do, so they didn’t chat for long.

After hanging up, Maggie grabbed her car keys and went downstairs to drive to the company. She arrived at the parking lot just as Johnny did.

As they got out of their cars, Johnny saw her and smiled. “Back already?” Maggie smiled back. “Mhm.”

As soon as her words fell, Franklin’s car drove into the parking lot, with Julia sitting in the front passenger seat. Franklin didn’t drive into the garage but stopped right in front of Maggie and Johnny.

Then, both of them got out of the car, and when they saw Johnny and Maggie, Franklin and Julia greeted Johnny. “Good morning, Mr. Gray.”

Johnny’s smile faded immediately. What bad luck!

He cursed inwardly, ignoring Franklin and Julia as he pulled Maggie along to move forward. Franklin and Julia seemed to not mind at all.

As they passed by, Franklin handed the car keys to Julia and opened the driver’s side door for her, gently reminding, “Be careful on the road.”

Seeing Franklin’s care and attention to Julia, and looking at Maggie’s back, Julia smiled mockingly. “Got it.”

Maggie and Johnny entered the company building, and while waiting for the elevator, Johnny glanced

towards the entrance, only then realizing that Franklin hadn’t followed them.

Were they still having their sweet moment, back there?

Once inside the elevator, Johnny suddenly remembered something. “They’re taking the same car to work this morning. Does that mean they’ve already moved in together?”

Maggie wasn’t sure.

But even if they hadn’t moved in together, the fact that they were riding in the same car showed that Franklin had gone to pick up Julia early in the morning.

Franklin had his own driver, yet when it came to Julia, he still liked to drive her personally without a second thought.

Their relationship really did seem just as strong as always. The day after tomorrow was Daisy’s birthday.

That evening, after work, Maggie went to a mall and bought a pink bunny plush.

As she was holding the plush while taking the elevator downstairs, she ran into Julia and Mrs. Brown, who were heading upstairs.

When Julia saw the bunny plush in Maggie’s arms, she assumed that Maggie was going to give it to Isabella.

A trace of sarcastic amusement flashed in her eyes. Since Isabella had started seeing her, he no longer liked these childish, pink, and cute stuffed toys.

Maggie still intended to give him these things? Was she foolish, not knowing his tastes? Or was she simply clueless, unable to even figure out what Isabella liked?

Thinking this, Julia didn’t even spare Maggie another glance. Mrs. Brown glanced at Maggie once, but then looked away as though she hadn’t seen her.

She patted Julia’s hand gently, her eyes full of affection and approval. It was clear that in her eyes, Julia was the only granddaughter she acknowledged.

Maggie didn’t mind them.

She went to the underground garage, got in her car, and left the mall.

The next morning, as soon as Maggie woke up, she received a call from Nolan.

After hearing what Nolan had to say, she replied, “I understand.”

After hanging up, she immediately called Harry. “I’ll have something to take care of tomorrow morning, so I won’t be able to spend Daisy’s birthday with her.

But I’ll make the cake in advance. Tomorrow morning, could you come over and deliver the cake and the gift I prepared for Daisy? Also, tell her I’m sorry.”

Harry felt a bit disappointed that she couldn’t personally celebrate Daisy’s birthday but understood. “It’s fine. The important matters come first. Daisy will understand.”

After hanging up, just as Maggie had finished washing up, her phone rang again. It was a video call from

Harry.

Only Daisy would use Harry’s phone to video call her.

Maggie answered, and Daisy’s face immediately appeared on the screen.

Maggie smiled warmly, and before she could speak, Daisy said, “Good morning, Aunt Maggie! Uncle said you won’t have time to celebrate my birthday tomorrow. That’s okay! If you can’t come this time, we can celebrate next time.”

Daisy still needed to go to school, so without waiting for Maggie to reply, she continued, ”

Uncle told me you’re making a cake for me and also prepared other gifts. Thank you, Aunt Maggie! You’ve worked hard. Grandma says when someo

gives a gift, you should treat them to a meal.

There’s a new restaurant that just opened, and the food there is amazing. Aunt Maggie, are you free tonight? Uncle and I would like to invite you to dinner!”

After listening to Daisy speak in one breath, Maggie smiled and replied, “I’m free, thank you, Daisy.”

“No need to thank me, Aunt Maggie. It’s only right for me to treat you.”

Daisy, in a rush to go to school, quickly said goodbye and returned the phone to Harry.

Maggie and Harry confirmed the time for dinner and hung up the phone.

At the office, Maggie informed Johnny about her plan to go to the base the next morning.

Johnny patted her shoulder and said, “You’ve worked hard. I’ll handle the work in the R&D department, so don’t worry about it, just go ahead.”

Maggie replied, “Okay.”

Usually, Maggie stayed at the office until around eight in the evening.

But that afternoon, she started packing her things at around six o’clock, preparing to leave.

Glen came over to find her and was surprised to see her packing up. “You’re leaving this early today?”

“Mm, I have something to take care of.” She then remembered that she wouldn’t be at the office

tomorrow and added,

“By the

way, I’ll be away on a business trip for a few days. If you have any issues, you can directly talk to

Johnny.”

Glen paused. “Another business trip?” “Yeah.”

Glen didn’t speak further.

She had just returned for two days, and now she was leaving again…

After leaving the office, about half an hour later, Maggie arrived at the restaurant that Harry had

reserved.

She had just parked when Harry and Daisy arrived as well. Seeing her, Daisy ran over. “Aunt Maggie!”

Maggie gave Daisy a hug and noticed the parking lot was full of luxury cars.

She said to Harry, “This restaurant is really popular.”

“The owner does good marketing. It’s become a hot spot, and now people in the circle love to come here

for business talks.”

“I see,” Maggie replied. “We should go in now,” Harry said.

“Alright,” she agreed. They walked towards the restaurant entrance.

At that moment, Julia got out of her car while talking on the phone.

Once she hung up, she closed the car door and turned to head into the restaurant. However, as she

turned around, she saw Maggie, Harry, and Daisy.

For a moment, she froze and stopped in her tracks.
