Not long after Isabella called Maggie, the car sent by Franklin to pick up Isabella arrived.
In the end, Isabella didnât wait for Maggie to come back and got into the car to leave.
When they arrived at the private room, Isabella threw herself into Franklin and Juliaâs arms. âDaddy, Aunt Julie!â
Franklin smiled and ruffled her head, while Julia helped take her schoolbag and put it aside.
In the private room, Harry, Levi, and Sophia were all there.
Seeing how much Isabella missed Franklin and Julia, Levi chuckled.
âFranklin, I told you you shouldâve taken Isabella abroad with you. Look, itâs only been a few days, and she already misses you both so much. If you had been any later, she wouldâve probably cried.â
The way Levi said it made it seem like Isabella had been wronged by staying with Maggie.
Harry paused for a moment, and before Franklin could respond, he changed the topic. âDid Isabella go out and play these past few days?â
Isabella sat down and said, âYes, Mom took me to see a movie, played some VR games, and we also had a
meal.â
Levi asked, âThatâs it?â
âThatâs it,â Isabella replied nonchalantly. âMomâs been so busy, she didnât have much time to spend with
me.â
Levi thought Isabella was referring to Maggie being busy with the holiday social obligations during the
New Year. After all, that was how he and Harry spent their time.
They had been so busy since the end of last year. These past few days, after managing all the relatives,
they finally found some free time to have a meal together and relax.
Julia was reading a book.
Isabella took a sip of her drink, bored, and flipped through the book in front of her. She looked at the cover, and something about it seemed familiar. She couldnât help but glance at it again.

Harry asked, âIsabella, are you interested in this kind of book?â
Isabella shook her head. âNo, I just realized that my mom has the same book.â
Upon hearing this, Julia froze for a moment, then smiled slightly.
The cover of this book was the same for both the beginner and advanced versions.
This one was the advanced version. Not to mention undergrad students, even when she was pursuing her PhD, she hadnât come across such inâdepth content.
Julia had been reading a lot recently, and Sophia had been visiting the Green family daily, so she knew that the book had both beginner and advanced versions.
When Isabella mentioned it, Julia instinctively thought that Maggie must be reading the beginner version.
She almost laughed out loud but held herself back because of Franklin and Harryâs presence.
Harry understood immediately.
Hearing what Isabella said, he lowered his head and smiled but didnât say anything.
At that moment, Levi seemed to remember something, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Harry with a
smile.
âHarry, I heard your momâs been trying to set you up with blind dates these past few days. So, howâs it going? Any suitable ones?â
This question immediately drew everyoneâs attention.
Sophia had also heard about this.
And that was why she was even more anxious now.
She nervously stared at Harry.
Harry pretended not to notice Sophia and glanced at Levi faintly. âDo you never get tired of gossiping?â
Levi chuckled. âIâm just curious, thatâs all.â
Harry didnât respond.
It was clear that Harry wasnât keen on blind dates.

His silence spoke volumes, and everyone understood what it meant.
Levi couldnât help but add,
âBy the way, how are things going with that âAuntieâ of Daisyâs? Since you like her, why donât you just tell your mom? Or is it that her family background is too different from yours, and youâre afraid your mom
wonât approve, soâ¦â
Before Harry could reply, he interrupted Levi, âCanât you keep quiet with all this food around?â
The more Harry didnât speak, the more curious Levi became.
He continued, âSince youâre worried your mom wonât approve, you havenât brought her home yet. But itâs been so long, you could at least bring her to let me and Franklin take a look, right?â
He then looked at Franklin before asking, âWhat do you think, Frank?â
Franklin smiled, glanced at Harry, and said, âWhen the time is right, Iâm sure Harry wonât need your encouragement to bring her over. Letâs not get involved.â
Levi:

Who didnât know that?
He was just curious.
Sophia tugged at Juliaâs sleeve. âSisâ¦â
Previously, Levi had told her that Harry already had someone he liked to discourage her.
At that time, she didnât believe it.
But now it seemed like it might be true.
Julia gave a faint smile, looking relaxed, but didnât speak.
The fact that Daisy had an âAuntieâ they hadnât met was definitely true.
Butâ¦â
Did Harry really care that much about the other person? Or was it possible that Daisyâs âAuntieâ was just
a shield? He might have staged all of this just to keep people from knowing who he really liked.
