Chapter 432
Yulia disliked Julia–and, to be fair, she disliked Franklin too.
After needling Julia, she turned to Franklin with the same pleasant smile. “I’ve often heard how devoted Mr. Wilson is to Miss Brown, taking her everywhere he goes. Seeing you today, I can confirm the rumors weren’t exaggerated at all.”
Though her words were barbed, she spoke them lightly, so anyone unaware might truly think she was praising their relationship.
At that moment, someone came over to chat and, overhearing, chimed in with a laugh, “Yes, Mr. Wilson really is wonderful to Miss Brown.”
Yulia gave Franklin a cool glance but let it drop.
After all, this was Cole’s big night. It wasn’t worth stirring up a scene because of the two of them.
Johnny and Maggie clearly felt the same.
Johnny smiled thinly. “Mr. Wilson, my teacher and I have something to take care of. Please excuse us.”
Julia, of course, understood exactly what Yulia’s “I’ve heard so much about you” meant.
Her face didn’t look good.
Yulia had mocked Julia and hadn’t spared Franklin either, yet Franklin’s expression showed no anger. After Johnny spoke, Franklin maintained his polite smile. “Of course–carry on.”
With that, he nodded courteously and left with Julia.
A few minutes later, Yulia lowered her voice to Maggie. “How long until the cooling–off period ends?”
“Less than half a month,” Maggie answered honestly.
“Don’t let anything go wrong this time,” Yulia said, lips quirking.
“It shouldn’t,” Maggie replied. From what her teacher had said, barring surprises, she wouldn’t be needed at the base for the next month.
“That’s good.”
Relieved, Yulia pinched Maggie’s cheek lightly. “Once it’s official, I’ll throw you a celebration.”
Maggie smiled. “All right.”
The banquet rolled on.
After that, Maggie and Johnny were busy almost without pause, moving through the hall and greeting guests.
Franklin and Julia didn’t come back to disturb them.
Franklin, for his part, was also busy; people kept approaching him.
His mood didn’t seem dampened in the least by the Nolans‘ coolness.
He conversed cheerfully and, every so often, glanced to either side.
Julia stayed by his side.
Rex didn’t keep seeking Julia out, but he hovered nearby.
After chatting for a bit, Rex looked at Julia twice, then turned back–only to notice that Maggie and Johnny had drifted near their area.
He glanced over and was about to look away when he caught Franklin’s line of sight.

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....
