“No need, Grandma,” Maggie said. “I still have some work to deal with. I won’t stay for dinner.”
It wasn’t really work–she just didn’t want to linger here any longer.
Strictly speaking, since she and Franklin weren’t officially divorced yet, she was still part of the Wilson family. She didn’t need to keep her distance like this.
But in Maggie’s mind, ever since the divorce was on the table, she had already drawn a clear line with Franklin.
Old Mrs. Wilson understood this.
Seeing that Maggie was determined, she didn’t press further, only shot Franklin a fierce glare.
Franklin pretended not to see it. He looked at Maggie. “I’ll take you back.”
“No.” Maggie declined. “You’re busy. Let the driver take me.”
Franklin didn’t insist. “All right.”
Maggie returned upstairs for her bag and came down ready to leave.
Both Old Mrs. Wilson and Franklin walked her out.
Isabella only then realized Maggie was going. “Mommy, you’re leaving so soon?”
“Mm.” Maggie rubbed her hair. “Take care of yourself, don’t play too hard.”
“I know.” Isabella clung to her tightly. “School starts in a few days. Mommy, will you take me to school that day?”
Maggie hesitated, then nodded. “If I can, I will.”
At the car, Old Mrs. Wilson glanced at Franklin standing a little ways off, then quietly told Maggie, “Franklin was supposed to be at the office today, but he stayed to take care of you…”
And it had all been voluntary–Maggie hadn’t forced him.
Maggie lowered her eyes. “Grandma-”
“I know.” The old lady sighed, patting her hand. “I just can’t bear to see you go.”
If only she and Franklin could stay like this… how good that would be. It was her only regret.
After a few more reminders, Old Mrs. Wilson let her go.
Maggie’s excuse about work wasn’t entirely false,
The Wilson Group–Cole collaboration was mostly in her hands, and she had fallen behind while sick. Tomorrow she had to lead a major meeting at Cole.
Back at the Miller residence, after half an hour of rest, she opened her laptop.
Just as she did, her phone buzzed,
It was Franklin.
She hesitated before opening the message.
It was a document.
She frowned, opened it–and fell silent.
It was the very task she was about to do. And Franklin had already done it.
Perfectly aligned with her own ideas.

Her hands hovered on the keyboard for a long time before she finally replied: Thank you.
His answer came quickly: [Mm.]

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....
