NovelEnglish---- Once they met, they chatted for a good while before Jessica learned that Sally's health had taken a turn. She lost all interest in her coffee and looked visibly upset. After a moment, she said softly, "Your mom... she'll get better. She has to." That was all Maggie could hope for, too. But they all knew, deep down, that the chances were slim.

Her eyes instantly turned cold. Following her gaze, Jessica saw Logan and Janice. Sun was dressed elegantly, exuding poise and charm. Despite being nearly fifty, she looked no older than forty. Logan also clearly paid attention to his appearance-he looked sharp and composed for a man in his fifties. Together, they looked like the perfect couple-well-matched and affectionate. ---- They were dressed casually, clearly enjoying a day out together. From the looks of it, they were in excellent spirits. Neither of them noticed Maggie and Jessica Logan was holding Janice's hand, helping her carry bags and pick out clothes-like the picture- perfect husband. Jessica's jaw clenched as she watched, whispering angrily, "Why do they get to live so happily? The world's so unfair." Maggie looked down.
Yes, Deeply unfair. Jessica paused, then added, "Forget them-what's worse is Franklin still..." Now that Maggie and Franklin were headed for divorce, things at the Brown family would probably only get better with him in the picture. But Sally- Maggie's fingers tightened around her coffee cup. Before long, Logan and Janice walked out of view. Already in a foul mood, the sight of them had only made things worse. Maggie and Jessica didn't linger much longer and each headed home.

After a full morning of meetings, Maggie went to the restroom. On her way back, she saw Franklin standing with Chad at the entrance. They were mid-conversation but stopped when they saw her.

Maggie was about to walk past them when Franklin suddenly said, "Why aren't you answering Isabella's calls?" She stopped and replied coldly, "Why should I?" Franklin seemed taken aback by her response. His deep eyes studied her, but he didn't say anything more.
