Chapter 421
Chapter 421
While Maggie and Yulia caught up happily in their private room, elsewhere Franklin had just sat down when his phone rang. He stepped out to answer.
Julia pulled out a journal from her bag. “Isabella, Auntie’s going to read a bit. Can you play by yourself for now?”
“Okay.” Isabella, who had spent two years in France, had strong French. Glancing at the cover, she said, “Oh, Daddy has this journal too.”
Julia knew Franklin always kept up with the latest in AI. She also remembered asking him about this issue just days ago, and he’d said he’d already read it.
So she smiled. “Yes, Auntie knows.”
That reminded Isabella of something. “The day Mommy came home, Daddy was worried she’d be bored. He went upstairs and brought down books for her. Later that night, after she finished reading, Daddy even talked with her about this journal for a long time.”
Julia knew Maggie had recently visited the Wilson old house.
But that Franklin had gone out of his way to fetch her books–and then voluntarily chatted with her about them–that, she hadn’t known.
Her hand stilled on the page. After two seconds, she asked, “He… was the one who suggested it?”
“Of course,” Isabella nodded.
Julia pressed her lips together. Perhaps Isabella was exaggerating, she thought. Maybe Franklin had only wanted to hear more professional insights, since Maggie was strong in this field.
She forced a smile. “Isabella, how do you know Daddy did it just because he was worried Mommy was bored?”
“Because it was raining hard that day, and Mommy couldn’t go to Great–Grandma’s, so she was stuck on the carpet playing with me. Daddy came over first and asked if she wanted to play chess. Mommy didn’t. Then he told her to go upstairs to read, but she didn’t want to move. So Daddy went up himself and brought
books down for her.”
Julia’s lashes trembled. Her grip on the journal tightened. “And… all of this, your daddy initiated?”
“Yeah.” Isabella tilted her head, suddenly realizing, “Oh, you’re right. Before, it was always Mommy starting conversations with Daddy. But now it’s the other way around–Daddy’s the one talking to Mommy. Auntie, I hadn’t even noticed until you said it.”
Julia knew all too well how cold Franklin had been to Maggie before, how indifferent.

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....
