Julia looked up too.
She, too, had once assumed Maggie and Johnny were romantically involved.
But after learning the truth about Maggie’s connection with Nolan and Cole, she wasn’t so sure anymore.
She noticed that after Levi’s question, Franklin also turned toward Harry–apparently interested in the answer.
Julia pressed her lips together.
Levi noticed as well, but assumed Franklin was simply curious.
Harry, however, stayed silent for a moment before saying, calmly, “Why don’t you ask her?”
Levi blinked.
He took that as Harry’s way of saying he wasn’t interested in gossip about Maggie and Johnny.
With no one joining in his curiosity, Levi pouted, disappointed.
Julia caught Harry’s response and smiled faintly–mockingly, to anyone who didn’t know better.
If she hadn’t known Harry’s feelings for Maggie, she might have believed, like Levi, that Harry simply didn’t care.
But his silence was, in fact, a quiet defense.
That thought sparked something in her.
A question she’d been overlooking for a long time surfaced.
Maggie was Nolan’s student–and one of Cole’s founders.
Harry might have known that all along.
He’d just chosen not to tell anyone,
At that moment, several political figures arrived, including Jordan Hall.
Jordan carried two gifts and, after some polite greetings, said privately to Maggie and Johnny,
“One of these is from your Uncle Hardin. He’s tied up with work and couldn’t come himself, but he insisted on sending a gift anyway.”
Whatever Reed had sent, its value didn’t matter–the thoughtfulness did, and Maggie and Johnny were truly moved.
Hearing that Jordan had arrived, Rex soon came over. “Uncle Hall.”
Jordan smiled. “Rex! You’re here too?”
“Yeah.”
They were exchanging pleasantries when a sudden commotion rose near the entrance–then abruptly fell silent.
Maggie and Johnny turned toward the noise.
At the reception stood Nolan and Yulia.
“Mr. and Mrs. Nolan are here,” Johnny murmured.
“Mr. Secretary, please excuse us,” Maggie said quickly to Jordan.
Chapter 429
“Our teacher and Mrs. Nolan just arrived.”
Jordan smiled. “Go on.”
They hurried toward the door, but before they could reach them, Yulia released Nolan’s hand and spread her arms wide.
“Maggie! Johnny! We’re here!”
Both Maggie and Johnny went forward to embrace her.
“Mrs. Nolan,” they greeted in unison.

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....
