Chapter 447
Levi, bored out of his skull all evening, perked up at the sight of Harry. “You finally made it. You have no idea how dull it’s been without you.”
Harry chuckled, patted his shoulder, and, noticing Julia’s glance, tipped her a perfunctory nod before sitting beside Levi.
Sophia hadn’t known Harry would come.
His blunt rejection of her earlier still stung; when he appeared, she looked once and dropped her eyes, not daring another glance.
“We’ll play Werewolf later,” Levi said. “Tranklin’s not here we can finally have some fun. Otherwise he wins every round and ruins the experience.”
Harry had already eaten but took a bit of barbecue anyway. He clinked cups with Levi and smiled. “All right.”
They’d barely started when Harry grew distracted.
Since arriving, he’d been covertly scanning the area but hadn’t seen Maggie anywhere.
After two rounds, as they were about to begin another, Harry paused, smiled, patted Levi’s shoulder, and pointed. “I’m going to say hi.”
Levi followed the gesture–Johnny–and nodded without a second thought. “Go, go.”
No one else seemed to notice, but Julia had clocked Harry’s distraction from the start.
He ignored her thoroughly enough that he didn’t realize she’d seen through him.
With that, watching him practically hurry off to find Maggie, she pressed her lips together.
Levi did notice Julia seemed out of sorts but assumed it was because Franklin hadn’t come.
Sophia also watched Harry walk away.
Moments ago she’d been afraid to look at him; now she’d seen him see her and choose to ignore her. Her spirits sank lower, and the game lost its appeal.
Johnny had come back for drinks.
He was surprised to see Harry–he’d assumed Harry and Franklin had skipped the outing.
Glancing around and not spotting Franklin, he realized Franklin really wasn’t there.
As Harry approached, Johnny greeted him. “Mr. Becker.”
“Mr. Gray,” Harry returned with a small smile.
After a half–beat, he asked, “Is Miss Miller here?”
Johnny knew Harry and Maggie had been getting along decently. Hearing the question, he pointed. “She is–over there.”
Harry nodded, noting the drinks in Johnny’s hands. “Are those for Miss Miller? If you don’t mind, I’ll walk with you—I’d like to say
Johnny found that thoughtful–respectful toward a prospective collaborator. “Sure.”
They walked a short way before Harry finally spotted Maggie-
and realized she wasn’t alone. Jimmy and Glen were with her.

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....
