Chapter 442
When Jimmy saw her, he didn’t look surprised. He simply nodded with polite ease. “Miss Brown.”
“Long time no see. I didn’t expect to run into you here,” Julia said. Glancing at the items in his hands, she smiled and extended a gracious invitation. “Mr. Hall, did you come with Mr. Hardin and Mr. Jolly? I’m here with some friends as well. Since we all know each other, would you like to join us? More people, more fun.”
“Rex isn’t here,” Jimmy replied. “I came with other friends.”
Then, courteously:“They’re waiting for me. I’ll get going–let’s talk next time.”
Polite and well–mannered as it was, his answer–given that she’d invited him and he hadn’t invited her back–was a refusal in all but name.
Julia understood and kept her poised smile. “All right. Enjoy your evening.”
“You too.”
After the exchange of pleasantries, Jimmy inclined his head and walked away.
“Sis, wasn’t that Mr. Hall? He’s camping too? Then Rex must be here, right? We’re short on people–why don’t we ask them to join?”
Sophia came over with two girlfriends in tow.
They did have male friends along this trip, but only Levi counted as eye candy–and he barely hung out with them. If Jimmy and Rex joined, the night would be much livelier.

Julia’s tone was cool. “He came with other friends. Not convenient.”
“Oh…okay.”
Disappointment flickered across their faces.
Watching Jimmy’s retreating figure, one friend sighed. “Mr. Hall is still so handsome. I heard he’s been in the service and still single. I wonder what kind of girl could match him.”
Another added, “With his background, ordinary girls won’t even register. We should stop daydreaming.”
Sophia knew they were right.
Still–when a man like that appeared in front of you, who wouldn’t fantasize a little?
She knew there was no future with Harry.
As for Jimmy…
The more she thought, the more her mood wilted.
Sophia and her friends soon drifted off. Julia, already out of sorts, didn’t follow.
Just then, she saw Glen coming up from the parking area with a cooler from the car.
He saw her too–paused, gave a brief nod, and started to move past.
Julia hadn’t expected him to be here as well. As he was about to go, she said, “Stay and talk for a bit?”
Glen could tell she was in a bad mood. He didn’t know why–maybe a fight with Franklin, maybe something else. Either way, it wasn’t his concern

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....
