After finishing the call with Isabella, Maggie hung up the phone. About ten minutes later, Franklin sent her the time and location for Isabellaâs training the next day.
But it was only the time and address for the training. He didnât say anything more.
The next day, just a few minutes after Maggie arrived at the fencing hall, Isabella showed up.
The car only had Isabella and the driver.
Franklin was not there.
After getting out of the car, Isabella happily took Maggieâs hand and led her into the fencing hall.
As soon as they entered, Johnny called her.
Maggie turned to Isabella and said, âMom needs to take a call.â
Isabella replied, âOkay, Iâll go find my coach first.â
âMm.â
Johnny just asked her a few things, and after chatting for a bit, he hung up the phone.
Isabella hadnât gone far.
When she saw her coach, he smiled and greeted her, âIsabella, youâre here?â
Looking around, he then asked, âDid Miss Brown or Mr. Wilson not accompany you today?â
âNo, today my mom came with me!â Isabella answered.
Maggie listened to their conversation, standing by the door. After a few seconds, she walked in.
When Isabellaâs coach saw her, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. âMiss, youâre here to-â
âMom!â
Isabellaâs coach froze for a moment and then smiled, âOh, so youâre Isabellaâs mom?â
Maggie nodded and shook his hand.
Over the past six months, whenever Isabella came to the fencing hall for training, it was always Franklin or Julia, or sometimes both of them, who accompanied her.

He knew Julia was Franklinâs girlfriend but was not Isabellaâs mother.
Isabella always came for training with her father or her fatherâs girlfriend, but her biological mother had never appeared. At the time, he had assumed that Isabellaâs mother must have either divorced Franklin or even passed
away.
Now that Maggie had appeared, it meant that Isabellaâs mother was not dead.
In that case, Franklin and Maggie must have been divorced.
He wasnât sure why they divorced, as he wasnât involved in their personal matters.
But judging by the way Franklin, Julia, and Isabella interacted, Franklin seemed to have a good relationship with his current girlfriend, and Isabella was also very close to her.
He didnât know if Isabellaâs good relationship with Julia had been allowed by Maggie, so he didnât bring them up. Instead, he complimented Isabella: âIsabella is very interested in fencing, and she has a natural talent for it, so sheâs been doing great. Thereâs a good chance sheâll be in the top three in next monthâs competition.â
Maggie nodded and was about to reply when Isabella came over, holding her hand and asking, âMom, can you come with me to change clothes?â
Maggie nodded.
After Isabella changed into her fencing uniform, the training officially began.
Isabellaâs coach, who was said to have been a fencing champion in a previous year, was skilled in both technique
and tactics.
But perhaps Isabella truly had enough talent, coupled with her boldness, as she showed no signs of timidity during the training. On the contrary, she was quick on her feet, daring in her attacks, swift in her defense, and reacted incredibly fast.
Between her attacks and defenses, there was already a touch of elegance and skill.
In a daze, Maggie felt like she could already see what Isabella would look like when she grew up and participated in competitions.
But by that time, she estimated she wouldnât be by her side.
After about half an hour of training, Isabella ran over and grabbed her hand, looking up at her, waiting for praise. âMom, did I do well?â
Maggie didnât know much about fencing, and she wasnât very familiar with the sport.
But last night, she had looked up some information online to get a basic understanding of fencing.

She took the small towel Isabella handed her, wiping away her sweat, and sincerely praised her, âVery goodâ
She then turned to the coach walking towards them and said, âThank you for your hard work.â
âItâs nothing,â Isabellaâs coach replied, adding, âBut itâs not all thanks to me that Isabella is doing so well. She had a good foundation before she came to our fencing hall.â
Both Franklin and Julia were good at fencing, and it was said that Isabella became interested in fencing because of
their influence.
For Isabella, they were her real fencing mentors.
