Chapter 422
After a long pause, Julia asked. “Anything else?”
Isabella was sipping her drink and didn’t follow. “Hm? Anything else what?”
“Things your dad took the initiative to do with your mom.”
Isabella set down the cup, frowning. “No. After that Mommy got sick and had a fever. Daddy kept taking care of her. He said kids catch things easily, so he wouldn’t let me near. I only saw Mommy again once she got better.”
Julia stilled. “After your mom got sick… your dad took care of her?”
“Yeah.”
Julia lowered her eyes. “Your great–grandmother told him to, right?”
Isabella shook her head. “No. Mommy started running a fever before dawn yesterday. When Daddy found out she was sick, he took care of her and called people to fly Grandpa Zane over by helicopter to see her. Great–Grandma only found out Mommy was sick after Grandpa Zane arrived.”
Julia could guess who “Grandpa Zane” was–he was well–known in Boston.
“And after Dr. Zane came, your dad still looked after your mom? So he spent the whole day taking care of her?” she asked.
Isabella nodded. “Uh–huh. He took care of her until she got better.”
Julia said nothing.
She had called Franklin yesterday. He didn’t pick up at first. Worried something was wrong, she called Chad, who said Franklin had just told him to push some scheduled work to today because he had something to handle. Thinking the worst, she called Franklin again. He answered that time and said it wasn’t a big deal–just something at the old house he couldn’t leave.
She hadn’t pressed for details.
So yesterday, Franklin postponed work–and stayed at the old house–just to take care of Maggie?
Seeing Julia fall silent and stare fixedly at the journal, Isabella assumed she was absorbed in reading and didn’t bother her, though she herself got bored. She glanced toward the door and sighed. “Why is Daddy’s phone call taking so long?”
Just then the door opened and Franklin came back. He ruffled her hair. “Hungry?”
“A little.”
After a few words with Isabella, Franklin noticed Julia still staring at the journal and asked, “Is there something you don’t understand?”

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....
