Chapter 372
Before arriving, he had actually asked Franklin on the phone whether Julia wald be coming to visit the old lady.
Franklin said she wouldn’t.
Levi later found out the reason—Stella had already made it clear the night before: Julia wasn’t allowed to visit.
Stella’s exact words had been, “Don’t bring irrelevant people into the ward to isturb your grandmother’s rest”
Thinking of that, Levi was tempted to gossip about it, but seeing Isabella and the butler nearby, he decided against it.
After visiting the old lady, both Franklin and Harry had work to do, so they didn’t stay long.
As they were leaving, Levi said,
“If you guys can spare some time tonight, let’s get together for dinner?”
Franklin and Harry responded in unison:
“Sure.”
Franklin spent the whole day at the hospital dealing with work. In the evening, Stella came to relieve him, and he headed to the restaurant Levi had booked.
Isabella had returned to the Miller residence earlier that afternoon.
So Franklin went to the dinner alone.
By the time he arrived, both Harry and Levi were already there.
Julia arrived last.
As she pushed the door open and entered the private room, Franklin looked over and was the first to speak.
“You’re here?”
Julia smiled faintly.
“Yeah.”
As she responded, she also caught sight of Harry.
When she had first heard Harry had fallen for Maggie, she was stunned. But beyond that shock, she also couldn’t understand it,
She truly didn’t get what was so special about Maggie–aside from her pretty face–that would make someone like Harry fall for her.
Especially considering how Harry had once loathed Maggie for drugging Franklin and forcing the marriage.
She couldn’t understand why he’d suddenly change his attitude–why he would fall for her.
But now…
She remembered the scene she saw in the parking lot a few days ago; remembered learning that Cole was co–founded by Maggie and Johnny; that the revered “CUAP” language she idolized had been developed by Maggie’s team; that Maggie was Nolan’s student, the very same Nolan she herself had tried so hard to be noticed by.
That the fast–growing Cole–Maggie was part of it all.
And all the details over the past year, all connected to Maggie.

At that moment, it finally clicked.
Harry must have known all along whis Maggie really was.
le must’ve long been aware of her ties to Nolan, to Cole.
Yet despite knowing all of that, he had never breathed a word of it to her.
She thought of all her efforts in front of him–trying so hard to be seen by Nol, constantly bringing up her admiration for the developers of CUAP and now, it all seemed like a pathetic joke.
Utterly ridiculous.
Her fingers tightened around her handbag as she bit down on her lip, struggling to maintain a composed expression.
Still, tears welled faintly in her eyes from sheer humiliation.
Now she finally understood-
Harry had likely long since lost interest in her.
All his affection had quietly, completely… been given to Maggie.
These thoughts passed through her mind in mere seconds.
Franklin noticed her standing still and turned toward her. He was about to speak but paused when he saw how pale her face was.
“What’s wrong? You look terrible.”
At his words, Levi and Harry both turned to look at her..
Julia’s hands gripped her bag so tightly her knuckles turned white. She forced down her emotions and, two seconds later, managed a stiff smile.
“It’s nothing.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time
Alguém saberia dizer o que houve com o livro, sem atualização a tempos...
Nada de episódio novo?...
Does the book stop? When are we going to get a new chapter?...
Olá, A história parou no capítulo 288? O nome do livro me gerou mais expectativas, quando ela realmente vai desprezar os dois e brilhar???...
Everytime I read new updates I am hoping to see Maggie completely moving on with her life not always checking where Franklin is up to with Julia. I think everyone reading this story by now understand that Franklin doesn't care about Julia. So what is the point of always pointing out how indifferent Franklin is to Maggie and how attentive he is towards Julia....
What does Helen mean Maggie is still married? Married to whom? Franklin has made it clear that he doesn't consider her anything and is flaunting his relationship with Julia for anyone who has eyes to witness it.So Maggie should wait for the divorce to be finalized to date. Isn't that double standards. And Franklin is dragging the divorce deliberately since divorced or not he does what he wants without any consequences. Really women are emotionally oppressed even authors only know that point of view 😕...
I feel sad for Maggie and all married women who have to endure emotional abuse with no end in sight. By the look of it,Franklin doesn't want to divorce Maggie for whatever reason. Either the reason is good or bad, Maggie shouldn't be humiliated like this just because she loves him. And the grandmother should be helping her get a divorce not emotionally blackmailing her, if she really cared about her. Franklin is using Maggie's love for the grandmother to abuse her. Is really loving people wrong? Author this one-sided hurt is not right. Let Maggie move on with dignity. It shouldn't end up with Franklin professing his love for her and her accepting it....
