Chapter 445
Levi had seen the whole scene from a distance.
He chalked Jimmy and Glen’s attentiveness up to simple gallantry–two guys being considerate because out of eight or nine people on Maggie’s side. only she and Jessica were women. Nothing more.
Just as he looked away, Julia returned.
“You’re back?” he said. “I was about to call you. They’ve got the barbecue going–want some?”
Julia smiled. “Okay.”
Then she paused. “Aren’t we waiting for Harry?”
“He’s already eaten. Said not to wait.”
“All right.”
Sophia and her friends came back just then.
They’d looped around the area, and Sophia’s mood had improved. Hearing there was food, she brightened–then froze, spotting a familiar figure.
She blinked, thinking she’d imagined it.
Looking again, she realized she hadn’t. “…Is that Maggie? What’s she doing here?”
Maggie had tried to help with the grilling, but Jimmy and the others wouldn’t let her.
Not wanting to get in the way, she’d stepped out from under the big sun umbrella–so from Sophia’s angle, they couldn’t see Jimmy and the others‘ faces, only Maggie.
Julia already knew Maggie and Johnny were camping here; she’d made no effort to seek them out.
Now, at Sophia’s words, she glanced over–and there were Maggie and Jessica.
Sensing eyes on her, Maggie turned–and met Julia’s gaze.
Seeing Julia and Sophia, Maggie pressed her lips together and looked away.
Jessica saw them too and curled her lip before turning back. “She really came. Can’t shake her–like a bad penny.”
Maggie said nothing.
Across the way, Sophia snorted. “Can’t shake her, is right.”
Her friends, unaware of the backstory, asked, “Who’s Maggie?”
Sophia didn’t want to air family matters and frowned without answering.
Julia withdrew her gaze. “Let’s eat first.”
“Okay.”
She sat on a blanket, eating and chatting, but her mind wandered. A careless glance to the side–and she saw Jimmy.
She started–he was nearer than she’d realized.

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....
