Chapter 413
Maggie paused on the stairs. “Mm.” she answered softly, then asked, “Where’s Isabella?”
“The rain’s been heavy all day.” Franklin said. “A lot of places are already flooded. The drainage system here at the old house is good, but if it keeps raining like this, even it might not hold. The butler has sent people out to handle it. Isabella’s never seen people stacking sandbags before, or rain this heavy. She ran out to watch.”
Hearing this, Maggie turned to look out the window and saw a sheet of water outside.
Honestly, in all her years, this was the first time she’d seen New York hit with such severe flooding.
Her brows furrowed in worry. “Where is Isabella now? With rain like this, how could you let her-”
Before she could finish, Isabella ran in wearing a little raincoat, drenched from head to toe. “Mommy, you’re awake!”
Seeing her safe, Maggie relaxed–though her frown deepened at the sight of Isabella’s wet hair and clothes.
But Isabella was clearly delighted. She almost threw herself into Maggie’s arms but stopped short when she remembered she was soaked.
Maggie opened her mouth to scold her, but seeing her daughter’s joy, the words stuck.
She was about to tell Isabella to go change clothes when Franklin closed his book, rose, and scooped Isabella into his arms. “Upstairs to change first.”
“Oh,” Isabella said, then squirmed, insisting, “I want Mommy to help me change.“.
Franklin arched a brow and glanced at Maggie. “Are you sure? Can’t you see Mommy’s angry?”
Isabella froze.
She hadn’t noticed.
She sneaked a look at Maggie, but didn’t really think she looked mad. “Mommy, are you angry?”
“…No.” Maggie replied.
Then can you help me change?”
Maggie turned away, sitting down again. “Let your father do it.”
“Okay,” Isabella agreed easily. As Franklin carried her upstairs, she whispered against his shoulder, scrunching her little nose, “Momuny isn’t angry. Daddy, you tricked me.”
“I didn’t trick you,” Franklin said. “But Mommy’s not angry at you. She’s angry at Daddy.”
Their voices weren’t loud, but just enough for Maggie to hear.
She paused briefly, then ignored it.
Seeing the butler return, she asked, “Has Grandmother woken yet?”
“Not yet, but she should soon.”

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....
