She rubbed her temples and was about to say something when Isabella spoke again, “Daddy’s on a business trip. I’m so bored. Mommy, please come

Franklin was on a business trip?
Adele paused.
She was about to divorce Franklin, so she didn’t have to care about him anymore.

But for Isabella, she still had a responsibility to look after her until she turned 18.
Thinking this, she said, “Alright, I’ll come back in a little while.”
That night, Adele made sweet and sour ribs and also prepared some soup
She stayed there for the next two days.

On Friday, Old Madam Miller called and asked her to come home for dinner.
So, Adele took Isabella back to Miller family.
At home, only Old Madam Miller was there. The others were either out for social events or still at school.
Old Madam Miller didn’t know that Isabella had returned from abroad. When she saw that Adele had brought Isabella along, she was overjoyed.
Isabella and Old Madam Miller were quite close, and she had the old lady laughing with her antics.
That evening, Adele and Isabella stayed at Miller family home.
The next morning, Adele woke up early to make pies by hand.
Old Madam Miller watched Adele with a nostalgic look, remembering how, before her marriage, Adele had never done any housework. She couldn’t help but sigh.
Adele knew what Old Madam Miller was thinking, so she smiled and said, “Cooking helps me calm my mind. I really enjoy it.”
Adele had gained some weight compared to the last time she came back. She wasn’t as thin now, and Old Madam Miller felt a little more at ease.
After finishing the pies, she chatted with Old Madam Miller for a while before heading upstairs.
Isabella was already up, brushing her teeth.
As Adele was about to get up after tidying the clothes she had taken off, she noticed that Isabella’s ipad had just pinged with a message. It was from Julia.
“Is Bella awake? I’ll be back this afternoon, and we’ll have dinner together tonight. How about I take you out to play tomorrow?”
Adele glanced at the message, then quickly looked away, tossing Isabella’s clothes into the washing machine.
When she returned, Isabella was already holding her ipad. Seeing Adele, she quickly hid the screen, preventing her from seeing the conversation with Julia.
Adele didn’t call her out and instead said, “The pies are ready. Come downstairs for breakfast.”
Isabella cheerfully jumped out of bed. “I haven’t had your pies in so long! Yay!”
At breakfast, Old Madam Miller happily asked, “What would you like to eat for dinner, Bella? I’ll have someone make it for you.”
Isabella, aware that Old Madam Miller didn’t like Julia, quickly turned her eyes and whispered, “Grandma, Daddy’s coming home tonight. I want to go back and have dinner with him.”
Old Madam Miller hesitated for a moment, as she hadn’t seen Labella in a long time, but since it was clear that Isabella had become very attached to

Franklin over the past two years, she didn’t think much of it.
Adele knew Isabella was lying, but she pretended not to notice. She helped Old Madam Miller by putting more food on her plate and said, its fine in stay and keep you company.”
It seemed odd for a wife to stay at her maternal home when her husband was coming back from a business trip, but since Franklin hadn’t treated Adele well and Old Madam Miller never supported their marriage, she wouldn’t mind if Adele divorced him.
So, hearing Adele say this, Old Madam Miller smiled. “Alright, our Mag is so good.”
Isabella, who had originally been worried about how to make an excuse to ditch Adele and meet Julia, immediately felt relieved when she heard Adele’s words.
When they left, Old Madam Miller packed a lot of Isabella’s favorite foods for her to take home. However, Adele pushed it all back, asking that it be left for her uncle’s children instead.
When Isabella left, Adele also contacted Franklin’s housekeeper, asking him to send someone to pick her up. She didn’t go to send her off personally.
Old Madam Miller noticed this and thought it was a little strange, but she didn’t dwell on it.
