Maggie was about to pull over and check whose phone it was when her own phone lit up–Isabella calling.
As soon as she answered. Franklin’s voice came through. “It’s me. I think I left my phone in your car.”
Tll send you my location.” Maggie said coolly. “Come pick it up.”
Okay.”
She pulled over and shared her location. It was several minutes before Franklin arrived.
Isabella had fallen asleep, so Franklin came down alone.
He took the phone from Maggie’s hand. “Thanks.”
“No need,” she said, her tone flat.
She was raising the window to leave when Franklin added, “I have to travel again in a couple of days, but I’ll rush back as soon as I can.”
Maggie paused.
Their divorce cooling off period was almost over.
She understood:he might not make it back on the exact day, but it wouldn’t be long.
The last time the cooling–off period ended, they hadn’t finalized the divorce–both had their share of blame.
So now, hearing this, she couldn’t bring herself to snap. “Got it,” she said simply, and drove off.
Because Jason’s family of four had other plans, Maggie headed out the next afternoon with Johnny, two of his friends, and Jessica–who had just returned from a work trip–to go camping.
Glen had been right about the turnout; when they arrived, tents already dotted the grounds, the place lively and crowded.
Glen had gotten there earlier. He walked over as they pulled in. “You made it.”
Jessica’s eyes lit up at the sight of him. She leaned to whisper in Maggie’s ear, “Oh wow. Gorgeous. You two know each other?”
Maggie nodded, about to answer when another voice cut in. “Mr. Gray.”
Maggie turned and met Jimmy’s dark eyes.
Glen’s expression chilled at once. He hadn’t expected Jimmy to show up.
Johnny, however, knew exactly why Jimmy was here.
He coughed lightly and smiled. “Mr. Hall. What a coincidence.”
Jimmy returned the smile, but his gaze stayed on Maggie. “Long time no see.”
“…Long time no see,” Maggie replied.
Jessica instantly put the pieces together, grinning as she murmured, “So Jimmy’s here for you? You two–since when-”
“No,” Maggie said, frowning, “Don’t start.”
Jessica just smiled, all knowing
Both Glen and Jimmy had come with friends. After a round of pleasantries, when Maggie and Johnny started pitching tents. Glen and Jimmy spoke almost in
unison:
“Let me help you.”

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....
