Chapter 435
Days passed after Maggie’s message–Franklin never replied.
Instead, Isabella contacted her twice.
On Friday evening. Maggie took Isabella out for dinner and a treasure hunt game.
Afterward, when Isabella said she wanted boba tea, Maggie ordered one and was just about to hand it to her when she saw Franklin in the distance–walking straight toward them.
Maggie froze.
Franklin met her gaze and smiled faintly.
Isabella spotted him too–but her face showed no surprise, as if she’d known he would come.
She waved excitedly. “Daddy, over here!”
Franklin walked over. Isabella shook her cup at him. “Daddy, do you want some?”
He chuckled and ruffled her hair. “Daddy’s not thirsty.”
“Okay!” Isabella said cheerfully and went back to sipping her drink.
Then Franklin’s gaze returned to Maggie. “Just got off the plane.”
Maggie blinked.
She hadn’t asked.
Still, with Isabella there, she simply said, “Mm.”
She didn’t look at him, instead lowering her head toward Isabella. “Isabella, it’s getting late. Maybe we should-”
But Isabella’s attention had already been caught by something else.
“Mommy, look! Someone’s playing drums over there!”
Before Maggie could reply, the girl ran toward the sound.
The “drum show” was actually a music studio promoting its drum classes–inviting kids to come up and perform to attract students.
Several children about Isabella’s age were already taking turns on stage, drumming skillfully along to upbeat music. The crowd was growing.
Isabella, though she’d never played, found it cool and squeezed forward to watch.
Maggie hurried after her, afraid she’d get lost in the crowd.
Franklin followed at an easy pace, watching the two of them.
When Maggie reached Isabella’s side, he came to stand beside her.
Maggie noticed his presence but said nothing.
Isabella held Maggie’s hand, eyes sparkling as she watched.
Maggie, hearing the lively rhythm and seeing the confident children, couldn’t help smiling herself.
Then, suddenly, a child bumped into her.
Chapter 435
She lost her balance and was about to fall when Franklin reached out, steadying her by the waist.
Maggie exhaled in relief. “…Thanks.”
Franklin smiled but said nothing.

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....
