Although the coach didnât explicitly say it, Maggie could guess what he meant after hearing his words.
In fact, even if the coach hadnât mentioned it, she would have deduced that Isabellaâs interest in fencing was probably influenced by Franklin or Julia.
She didnât have much to say about it.
Although she had given up the custody of Isabella, and she would likely be less involved in her future, Isabella was still a part of her. Even if they grew apart in the future, she still hoped that her daughter would have a good life.
It was enough that fencing was beneficial to Isabella.
As for who influenced her to learn fencing, that didnât matter much to Maggie.
While Isabella was training, Maggie didnât constantly watch her.
In the morning, as Isabellaâs training was about to end, Maggie was looking up some information on her phone when someone suddenly appeared beside her.
Maggie paused, and when she looked up, she met Franklinâs deep gaze.
She glanced at him for a moment before quickly looking away.
Franklin asked, âWhat modelâs data is this?â
Maggie put her phone away, not answering his question.
Before Franklin could say more, Isabella, just finishing her training, took off her mask and ran over, calling out,
âDad!â
Franklin smiled and rubbed her head. âFinished with training?â
âMm!â Isabella replied, then turned to Maggie and asked her to help wipe her sweat. She looked up at both Franklin and Maggie and said, âIâm hungry. Letâs go eat lunch!â
Franklin nodded. âOkay.â
Isabella asked Maggie, âMom, what do you want to eat?â
After wiping the sweat off, Maggie withdrew her hand and said, âI have something to do, so I wonât be joining you
for lunch.â
Isabella paused for a moment, not saying anything.

To be honest, she wasnât surprised by Maggieâs response.
Because it had happened many times before, just like nowâwhen she and her dad wanted to eat with her mom, her mom always said she was too busy.
She had thought that since her mom had spent the whole morning with her and didnât seem too busy, maybe they could have lunch together today.
But unexpectedlyâ¦
Thinking about it, she pouted slightly, lowered her head, and softly murmured, âOh.â
At that moment, Franklin spoke, âLetâs have lunch together. If you donât want me to ask you things you donât want to talk about, I wonât ask.â
Maggie didnât want to have lunch with them mainly because she didnât want to hear him talk about things that made her uncomfortable.
But it wasnât just because of that.
She said, âItâs fine, you two go ahead and eat.â
She could have lunch with Isabella, but there was no need to join them both.
Her tone
calm but firm.
Franklin glanced at her, smiled, and didnât push further. âAlright then.â
Isabella naturally wasnât happy when she heard this.
She pursed her lips and looked at Maggie, her eyes starting to redden.
Maggie hesitated for a moment, then gently rubbed her head. âNext time, when mom has time, Iâll go eat with you.â
Hearing Maggieâs comforting words, Isabella still couldnât feel completely happy.
But she wasnât as disappointed and sad as she was earlier. She softly muttered an âOh.â
Maggie felt like she had said enough. She picked up her bag, ready to leave, but seeing that Isabella was relucta her to go, she quickly went over and grabbed her hand.
She looked up at Maggie and asked, âMom, can you come with me to the competition next month?â
