Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time novel Chapter 396

The next morning, Maggie went to visit Old Mrs. Wilson.

As she stepped out of the parking garage, she ran into Sophia and Janice.

They were all in high spirits–after all, Franklin had postponed his trip and spent hours at the hospital with Julia. His devotion reassured the entire Green family.

Sophia tilted her chin, deliberately raising her voice. “Auntie, when my sister had her accident yesterday, brother–in–law rushed straight to the hospital. He postponed his trip again and again. And this morning, he said he had to come see her before he could leave for the airport.”

Hearing this, Maggie finally understood: Franklin had left the restaurant yesterday because of Julia.

She had long known, long grown used to, Franklin’s care for Julia.

And she also knew Sophia’s words were aimed at her.

Expressionless, she brushed past them into the elevator.

When they saw the floor she pressed, the Greens realized Maggie was headed to visit Old Mrs. Wilson.

They had known the old lady was also hospitalized here, but hadn’t managed to find her ward. They had even secretly asked around the night before.

To see Maggie so easily going up to her room left them sour.

Sophia glared daggers at her. She held her tongue in the elevator, but once they stepped out, she hissed through clenched teeth: “She and brother–in–law are divorcing, yet she still clings to Grandma? Shameless! She’s clearly cozying up just to poison Grandma against my sister.”

Janice and Old Mrs. Green thought much the same,

After all, Old Mrs. Wilson’s illness was severe, yet the Wilson family hadn’t even let Julia bring Isabella to see her. Janice’s eyes turned cold at the thought.

Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Wilson had just finished a check–up. Seeing Maggie enter, her face lit up.

Maggie chatted with her gently while arranging fresh flowers at the window.

When she glanced down toward the parking lot, she spotted Franklin. She quickly looked away and returned to the old lady’s side.

Chapter 396

The old woman, restless from long days in the ward, talked on and on. Maggie stayed longer than she’d planned to

keep her company.

Half an hour later, Old Mrs. Wilson finally said, “Maggie, don’t let me keep you. You should head to work. Just come

visit whenever you can.”

Maggie checked the time and was about to agree when the door opened.

Franklin.

She realized he must have arrived half an hour ago but only now come upstairs.

Thinking of Julia’s room downstairs, the reason was obvious.

She was about to turn back when Franklin greeted her: “You’re here?”

“Mm.” Maggie’s reply was flat. She turned again to bid the old lady goodbye.

“You’re leaving already?” Franklin asked.

“Already? Maggie’s been with me over half an hour,” Old Mrs. Wilson snorted. “Unlike you, showing up so late.”

Maggie said nothing. She bid farewell once more and left.
