Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time novel Chapter 391
Chapter 391
Maggie always said she was busy, that she had no time.
But no matter how busy, surely she had time for a phone call?
And yet, when Isabella called, Maggie rarely answered. To expect her to call first? Even rarer.
It felt as though everything in her mother’s world mattered more than she did.
The more Isabella thought about it, the more wronged she felt. Tears streamed down her cheeks.
Before Maggie could speak, Franklin had already begun wiping her face. “Your mom really is busy with work right now. But next year… next year, it should ease up.”
Still a child, Isabella took comfort in his reassurance. Her tears slowed as she looked up at Maggie with hope. “Really? Next year, you’ll have more time for me?”
Isabella was still the daughter Maggie had carried for ten months. No matter the custody papers, she wanted her
well.
Faced with that hopeful gaze, Maggie couldn’t bring herself to shatter it outright.
But she also couldn’t casually promise something uncertain.
“My projects will mostly wrap up by the end of this year. But next year, there may be new responsibilities. I can’t guarantee I’ll be free…”
It wasn’t the answer Isabella wanted, but she had seen that flicker of pain on Maggie’s face earlier. That alone told her her mother still cared.
And that was enough.
Her mood lifted. She slid out of Franklin’s arms, ran to hug Maggie. “That’s fine then. But Mommy, when you do have time, you have to pick up my calls, okay?”
Maggie faltered, glancing at Franklin.
He only looked back, expression unreadable–as if to say: do as you will, I won’t interfere.
Maggie lowered her gaze. After a pause, she murmured, “I’ll try.”
Isabella’s bad mood melted as quickly as it had come. “Okay!”

The waiter knocked and brought in their dishes.
They returned to their seats. Isabella dragged her chair closer to Maggie, happily chattering as she ate, recounting funny moments from training camp.
Halfway through, she even pulled out her tablet to show photos.
Maggie listened. Franklin said little, only quietly deboning fish and serving her food.
Because Isabella talked so much, their meal stretched long. At last, weary, she climbed into Franklin’s arms and fell

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....
