The Davis family was, after all, a prominent name in New York, so Levi’s invitation didn’t surprise Maggie.
“Mr. Becker, Mr. Davis, welcome,” she greeted politely.
Although Levi occasionally ran into Maggie, it had actually been quite a while since they’d even exchanged basic pleasantries.
Harry, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow when Maggie acted as if she didn’t recognize him at all.
Then, seeing her confidently welcoming guests with the ease of a hostess, his brow arched even higher.
It had been some time since Harry last saw her.
He was just about to speak when he spotted Franklin and Julia in the banquet hall.
Levi saw them too, eyes widening slightly.
“Franklin and Julia are already here?”
Harry was a bit surprised himself.
He glanced their way–just as Franklin and Julia noticed them.
Franklin offered a friendly smile, but Julia’s own, which had been warm, faded slightly the moment she saw Harry.
Levi waved to Franklin, ready to lead Harry inside, but Harry didn’t move.
He gestured for Levi to wait and turned to Maggie.
“I’ve been following the news about Cole lately. Congratulations.”
In just half a year, Cole had achieved remarkable success. Maggie and Johnny were truly impressive.
Maggie smiled, genuinely. “Thank you.”
Levi also knew about Cole’s latest financial reports.
Hearing Harry speak so earnestly, he didn’t think much of it–it was only natural for Harry to congratulate a key member of Cole.
Just then, Mr. Talbot–who’d long worked with Cole–arrived.
He approached warmly. “Miss Miller, congratulations.”
“Thank you, Mr. Talbot. You’re too kind,” Maggie said, shaking his hand and exchanging a few pleasantries. Then, noticing Harry waiting, she added, “Excuse me-”
Harry waved lightly. “You go ahead. We’ll just head over there.”
“All right.”
As they neared Franklin and Julia, Levi grinned. “You’re early today–I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.”
“Had nothing else on, so I came a bit sooner,” Franklin replied.
After Levi and Harry took glasses from a passing waiter, the three clinked them together.
Julia lowered her gaze quietly.
When no one else was around, Levi leaned closer and lowered his voice.
Chapter 428
“You and Maggie haven’t officially divorced yet, but during the process–she’s been cooperative, hasn’t she?”

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....
