Chapter 88
Grandma Miller on the other end mentioned that her uncle had come back and had brought her some gifts. She asked if Adele had time to come ove for a meal.
Adele glanced at Grandma Collins and said, “I’m with Isabella at the old house.”
From what Grandma Collins had said earlier, it seemed that she wanted them to join her at the manor to pick fruits.
The two grandmothers were good friends, and upon hearing the purpose of Grandma Miller’s call, Grandma Collins said, “Then take Isabella and go ahead.”
She then turned to Franklin, “Frank, it’s been a long time since you visited Grandma Miller. Since you have some free time, why don’t you accompany Mag and go?”
Franklin, eating his breakfast, simply replied, “I have something to do later.”
Adele listened, and there was no surprise on her face.
She had already guessed it.
Franklin never had time for her matters.
But when it came to Julia, he always found time, no matter how busy he was.
This was the difference.
Grandma Collins’s face darkened, “What’s so important that you haven’t gone back with Mag in such a long time-”
“Grandma.” Adele interrupted Grandma Collins, her expression calm, “It’s fine. Since Frank has something to do, Isabella and I will go alone.*
“Mag, you-”
Adele said this not because she didn’t want to force him, but because she no longer cared..
However, Grandma Collins misunderstood and thought Adele was being considerate of Franklin and didn’t want to put him in a difficult position.
Seeing how considerate and obedient Adele still was toward Franklin, Grandma Collins felt both heartbroken and helpless.
The decision was made.
After breakfast, Adele spent some time chatting with Grandma Collins, then prepared to take Isabella to leave.
Grandma Collins had prepared many gifts for Adele to take to her friends.
Adele couldn’t refuse, so she reluctantly accepted.
Franklin hadn’t left yet, and he, along with Grandma Collins, went to see her and Isabella off.
Isabella came over to hug Franklin’s leg, “Daddy, will you come home tonight?”
Franklin rubbed her head, “I will.”

There was still no communication between Adele and Franklin.
After Isabella got into the car, Adele waved goodbye to Grandma Collins and then drove off
In the rearview mirror, she saw Franklin and Grandma Collins standing there, watching her car drive away.
When they arrived at the Miller:
them.
amily’s house, Adele parked the car in the small courtyard. Grandma Miller and her aunt, Helen, came out to greet
When Grandma Miller saw the trunk full of gifts, she frowned, “Why did you bring so many things?”

Chapter 88
Grandma Collins asked me to bring them for you”
Since Adele and Tranklin had gotten married, the relationship between to andma Collins and Grandma Miller had become less clea mantels
Upon hearing this, Ca andma Miller snorted and said nothing.
Adele noticed that the villa across from them was under renovation. Trying to change the subject, she asked, “Is someone moving into Ued villa
“Probably. They started renovations last week. From what the workers are saying, it seems like the owner is in a hurry to revive
In just a few days, they’ve nearly finished the renovations. It won’t be long before someone moves in ”
This was an old villa area, where everyone had been living for over ten years, so everyone was familiar with each other.
Now that someone new was moving in right across from them, Adele’s aunt, Helen, said while helping with the gifts, “I hope mir new neighbors are easy to get along with.”
If they were unreasonable, the future days might be difficult.
Once inside the house, Helen served Adele some specially prepared bird’s nest soup, saying,
“I heard from your mom that you’ve been looking a bit haggard lately. I had someone save me some top–quality bird’s nest. I’ll make sure to send some back for you to eat later.”
Adele took the bowl, “Thank you, Aunt.”
Adele’s uncle, Jason, was busy with work and didn’t return until dinner.
Thinking about how the last time, Johnny had been punished by Franklin for her sake, preventing Julia from joining Cole, which ultimately led to Jason losing a project, Adele felt deeply guilty.
“Uncle, I’m sorry for what happened last time.”
“It’s fine, it’s all in the past,” Jason said casually, “I told you before, even without the Brown family, given the current situation of Miller Corporation, we couldn’t have taken on that project. You don’t need to blame yourself.”
This was something that Grandma Collins could never find out. If she knew that Franklin had helped Julia bully their family, she would surely be
furious.
Seeing Grandma Collins approach, Jason nudged Adele, signaling her to stop talking.
Adele then changed the subject.
Next month would be Grandma Miller’s 70th birthday.
Adele and Jason were discussing how to celebrate in a way Grandma Miller would enjoy.
Grandma Miller listened but showed no enthusiasm, saying, “Don’t bother with those formalities. It would be good enough if we all just have a meal together.”
Aunt Helen spoke up, “Since it’s her 70th birthday, we should still do something big.”
Adele and Jason agreed with this.
Since it was the children’s goodwill, Grandma Miller didn’t refuse any longer.
Tomorrow, Isabella still had school, so after dinner, Adele drove Isabella back home.
Once they arrived at the villa, Isabella got out of the car, happily running toward the house.
Adele stayed in the car, not moving, and called out to Isabella, “Take a shower and go to bed early. Mommy has some things to do, so I wont be coming upstairs right now.”
Isabella’s smile faltered, “Huh?”
She turned back, frowning as she looked at Adele, “Mom, you have things to do again?”

dermed calm, “Mm, you focus on your studies. If you need anything, just call me.”
bebas pouted, looking a little unhappy, but finally said, “Okay.”
When Franklin was busy with work, he often didn’t return home. Now, with Adele also often staying out late, Isabella assumed it was because of work and never suspected anything else.
the butler came out to greet them as soon as they returned.
pabella asked, Is Daddy home?”
The butler smiled broadly, “Yes, he’s back.”
We didn’t show any reaction but told Isabella, “Ill leave now.”
