Chapter 433
Franklin’s gaze lingered on Maggie for two or three seconds before moving on.
He looked as if he were absorbed in conversation, but Rex could see where his attention actually went.
When Maggie and Johnny finished speaking with someone and moved away, Franklin’s eyes would casually scan the room, as if searching for where she’d gone next.
Maggie, meanwhile, was focused on hosting alongside Johnny and never noticed Franklin’s attention.
Rex felt anger flush hot in his chest.
When Franklin’s gaze came back and happened to meet his, Franklin offered Rex a polite nod and smile.
Rex’s face darkened. The people around him noticed. “Rex, what’s wrong?”
He forced himself to calm down and tamped the anger down. “Nothing.”
Franklin, for his part, nodded back lightly.
Rex wanted to stand up for Julia–but he had no standing to do so.
So even if he felt bad for her, he could only keep silent, just as he had when he’d first suspected something between Franklin and Maggie.
But if Franklin really crossed a line-
Rex’s expression hardened as his gaze slid to Julia.
Julia was smiling, as if she hadn’t noticed a thing.
As if that were possible.
She was more attuned to Franklin and Maggie’s every move than he was.
She had noticed Franklin’s attention–and noticed it more often and more clearly than Rex had.
Her fingers tightened around her glass; the mechanical smile on her face was about to crack.
Just then, her phone rang.
After answering, her expression changed. “Okay, I understand. I’m on my way.”
That drew Franklin’s attention back. “What is it?”
“My grandmother was bumped into while walking in the neighborhood and fell. They’re taking her to the hospital now. I’m worried. I want to go check on her.”
“I’ll go with you,” Franklin said at once,
Julia hesitated for a heartbeat, her nose stinging.
She’d thought he would be reluctant to leave the banquet and wouldn’t go with her.
Then Franklin added, “Let’s inform Mr. Gray first.”
“…All right.”
When they went over, Maggie and Johnny were speaking with Mr. Freeman, Jordan, and several other heavyweights.
Julia had attended plenty of events with Franklin and knew what it felt like to stand among such people.

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....
