Chapter 399
Sunday afternoon, Isabella called to say she was coming over. Remembering her promise, Maggie agreed.
The driver dropped her off. Isabella hopped out and flung herself into Maggie’s arms. After a bout of playful clinging to Maggie and Old Mrs. Miller, she proudly announced she’d won first place at her fencing competition.
She’d even stuffed the trophy into her little backpack and pushed it into Maggie’s hands.
The old lady was all smiles, showering Isabella with praise.
When it came to fencing, Maggie hadn’t contributed much. She knew she wouldn’t be able to do much in the future either. After a moment’s thought, she said, “How about Mom buys a frame later and we mount the trophy?”
“No need,” Isabella chirped. “Daddy already had one custom–made before the competition. It’s super pretty.” She pulled up photos on her phone and showed them off. “Isn’t it nice?”
One glance told Maggie the frame was expensive. The fact Franklin had commissioned it in advance also showed how thoughtful he was with Isabella.
Even so, Isabella was delighted that Maggie wanted to commemorate her win. She was happy just to be taken
seriously.
That night, Isabella stayed over at the Miller home.
The next morning, Maggie slipped the household registration booklet into her bag. Isabella happened to see it but didn’t understand what it meant, so she didn’t ask.
Looking at the girl’s clear eyes, Maggie realized Franklin still hadn’t told Isabella about the divorce. She hesitated, then decided it was better for Franklin to handle. “It’s nothing,” she said. “Mom’s heading to work. Don’t run
around.”
“Got it. Bye, Mom!”
Maggie nodded and headed out.
By the time she arrived at the Civil Center, Franklin was already waiting at the entrance.
“Morning,” he said.
Maggie gave a silent nod and walked in with him.
They barely spoke. The paperwork went quickly.

Just as they finished and Maggie stood to leave, Franklin’s phone rang. He also rose, but seeing the caller, he answered and slowed his steps.
Maggie walked ahead, but still heard his side of the call:

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....
