Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time novel Chapter 438
Maggie hadn’t expected him to take her hand, the gesture caught her off guard.
She quickly pulled back and said evenly. I can walk by myself.”
Without looking at him, she headed for the sofa area.
Franklin didn’t get angry at her coolness. He smiled, and once she sat, he took the seat right beside her.
The sectional around the coffee table was large with plenty of space; seeing him choose the spot next to her made Maggie pause, but she said nothing–sipping her tea as she lifted her gaze toward Isabella trying out the drums.
Franklin also took a sip of tea.
Setting his cup down, he turned–not to Isabella but to Maggie–and was about to speak when her phone chimed.
It was a message from Glen.
He’d sent a short video, followed by:
The experts say it’s a once–in–thirty–years meteor shower. Lots of people are camping out to watch tomorrow. My friends and I will probably go. Are you and Mr Gray into this kind of thing?
It had been a while since Maggie had gone out with family or friends just for fun. Whether they saw meteors wasn’t the point; the bustle of a night out sounded
nice.
She was about to reply when she noticed Franklin had tilted his head slightly, as if glancing at her screen.
She stopped and looked at him.
He met her gaze without a hint of embarrassment, then withdrew his eyes and casually topped off her tea.
He was sitting close enough that even without trying, he could see her phone.
Maggie said nothing, but shifted a little farther away before replying to Glen:
I’m interested.
Another ping from Glen came in–but before she could answer, a new notification appeared. Jimmy.
Long time no see.
A beat later:
Are you free to hang out tomorrow?
Maggie hesitated two seconds, then typed:
Sorry, I already have plans tomorrow.
Jimmy didn’t seem upset. ffis response was quick:
No worries. I’ll ask another time.
Glen messaged twice more.
Maggie exchanged a couple lines with him and set her phone down.
After those first two inadvertent glances, Franklin didn’t look at her phone again, nor did he try to close the distance. When she put the phone away, he smiled.
“All done?”
Maggie lifted her cup and drank, ignoring him.

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....
