Mr. Claremont and the others traded looks.
They, too, realized Franklin had shown up for Maggie.
But Franklin had a girlfriend, and that relationship looked solid. Whatever this was, it had to be professional–pure appreciation. Right?
Maggie and Franklin talked for quite a while.
Once they’d exhausted the parts he found interesting, the conversation ended. After that, they didn’t speak again.
Even so, the sharp–eyed among them–Chad, Jake, Mr. Claremont–noticed Franklin occasionally glancing in Maggie’s direction…
Near the end of lunch, Franklin’s phone rang.
Whatever he heard made his face change. He hung up and said to Maggie and the others, “Miss Miller, everyone–sorry. Something urgent’s come up. I’ll have to go. Let’s gather again another time.”
Since he’d addressed her directly, Maggie could only say, “Alright. Take care.”
Franklin and Chad left in a hurry.
Watching him go, Mr. Claremont said, “Mr. Wilson looked genuinely worried–leaving that fast, it must be serious.”
Maggie’s heart skipped. A sudden fear: Did the old lady take a turn for the worse?
She quickly pulled out her phone.
If anything had happened, Franklin would message her the moment he stepped outside.
No unread message from him.
So it probably wasn’t about Grandma Wilson.
Relieved, she put the phone away.
Elsewhere-
Chad and Jake only learned after leaving the restaurant that Julia had been rear–ended and badly injured.

Chapter 394
Franklin and Jake reached the hospital quickly.
Sophia rushed up the moment she saw them. “Brother–in–law, finally.”
Franklin glanced at the ER doors. “What’s her condition?”
Before Sophia or Janice could answer, the doors swung open and the whole family surged forward.
“Doctor, my daughter-”
“Doctor, my granddaughter-”
“Doctor-”
The chorus gave the physician a headache. He raised a hand; when the hall fell quiet, he said, “The head wound isn’t critical for now, but we’ll need further checks after she regains consciousness to be sure.”
The Browns and Greens peppered him with questions. Franklin, meanwhile, told Jake to handle the admission.
Once the room was assigned, the family clustered anxiously around Julia’s bed.

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....
