Franklin had been busy lately. He had barely eaten when another call came, and he stepped out again.
While he was outside, Julia seemed to think of something. “By the way, Isabella–school starts Monday. How about Auntie takes you?”
Isabella looked apologetic. “Sorry, Auntie Julia. I already asked Mommy to take me, and she said yes.”
“I see. Julia said, and didn’t insist.
Sunday night, just as Maggie finished dinner and was about to rest, Isabella called.
As soon as Maggie picked up, Isabella chirped, “Mommy, tomorrow morning Daddy and I will come to your place. Then you and Daddy can take me to school together.”
“Okay. Mommy knows.”
The next morning, Franklin and Isabella arrived not long after Maggie finished breakfast.
Maggie grabbed her car keys to head out, but Isabella tugged her toward Franklin’s car. “No time, Mommy–quick, get in!”
“I still have to go back to the office later,” Maggie said. “It’ll be inconvenient without a car. I’ll drive myself and meet you at the school-”
Tll take you to Cole afterward,” Franklin said.
Maggie was about to refuse, but Isabella bounced, still pulling her along. “Yeah, let Daddy take you! Come on, Mommy!”
Maggie frowned slightly, hesitated a second, then got in.
She was wearing a couture white lace dress today, serene and elegant–perfectly suiting her temperament.
After buckling in, Isabella couldn’t help gushing, “Mommy, you look so pretty today!”
Hearing that, Franklin glanced over twice as well.
“Thank you,” Maggie said evenly.
He looked again, then asked, “What time is your meeting at Wilson Group this afternoon?”
Three.”
“Need me to send a car to pick you up?”
Send a car? If she were seen getting into his, it could expose their relationship. Then again, given the joint project between their companies–and the recent increase in public interactions between them–it wouldn’t be hard to explain away if someone spotted her in a Wilson Group car.
Regardless, she didn’t need him to go out of his way.
“No need. I can take someone else’s car,” she said.
“All right”
After that, it was mostly Isabella and Maggie chatting; Franklin stayed quiet.

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....
