With Johnny’s help, the lack of a computer didn’t slow Maggie much.
But that afternoon, Wilson Group had an urgent matter requiring her attention. Without a computer, it became troublesome.
Staring at the documents Wilson Group had just sent, she regretted refusing Franklin’s laptop that morning.
But with things urgent…
She went upstairs, hesitated at Franklin’s study door for two seconds, then knocked.
“Come in.”
Franklin was at his desktop. When Maggie opened the door, he looked up–without surprise. Before she spoke, he asked, “Need the laptop?”
“…Yes,” Maggie admitted from the doorway.
He smiled, pushed the device toward her, and gestured for her to take it.
She stepped in, picked it up. “Thank you.”
He only smiled silently.
Without more words, she left. As she walked out, she heard him turn back to his call: “Continue.”
Back in Isabella’s room, Maggie began working.
Isabella, wanting her attention, grew sulky when she realized Mommy was too busy to even notice her.
Franklin came in. Isabella hugged a pillow and sighed. “Daddy, Mommy’s so busy…”
“Mm,” Franklin murmured, then drew up a chair beside Maggie.
She barely noticed until the sound made her glance sideways. Seeing him, she said nothing and kept working.
Since the work involved Wilson Group, even if Franklin saw, it wasn’t a problem.
He had matters of his own, but lingered, watching with interest. When the time grew late, he finally left with some reluctance.
Maggie worked late into the night.
At dinner, she sat beside Franklin. “I still have a lot to do tonight. Do you need your laptop back?”
“No. You keep it.”
“All right”
Their cordial interaction pleased Old Mrs. Wilson, who fussed over Maggie’s thinness and urged her to eat more.
Afterward, Maggie went upstairs to continue working, while Franklin stayed downstairs with Isabella.
By nine, Isabella had bathed and was ready for bed. Hearing Maggle still typing, she tilted her head and asked, “Mommy, why don’t you go back to your and Daddy’s room to work?”
She didn’t mean to complain about the noise–she was just remembering that in the past, even when Mommy worked, it had always been in her and Daddy’s
room, not here,

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....
