Chapter 449
Chapter 449
Most campers were here for the meteor shower.
Unfortunately, even past 1 a.m., nothing crossed the sky. Maggie and Jessica turned in.
Johnny, Jimmy, and Glen watched Maggie head into her tent.
Once she’d gone, Johnny cleared his throat, glanced between them, and said, “She isn’t officially divorced yet. If you’re going to pursue her, mind your boundaries. Don’t make trouble for her.”
“I know,” Glen answered first–then frowned. “If I’m not mistaken, their cooling–off period already ended. Why isn’t the divorce finalized? Did something happen?”
Jimmy already knew they hadn’t filed in time; Johnny had roughly explained it, so he kept quiet.
Johnny sighed and repeated, “Her husband missed the decision window. They had to reapply.”
Glen asked. “Then when does this cooling–off period end?”
“Soon. This month,” Johnny said.
It was late, and he was tired. He yawned and waved. “I’m turning in. You two-”
He hadn’t finished when Jimmy suddenly asked, “Who is the man?”
Johnny knew he meant Maggie’s husband.
Because he wanted to court Maggie, Jimmy had contacted Johnny several times, asking about her. He had never asked about the husband–not because he was angry or uninterested, but because that was Maggie’s past. Once the divorce was done, the man would be a stranger. If Jimmy ever had the good fortune to be with Maggie, she’d tell him herself.
Tonight had been the longest stretch he’d ever spent with Maggie.
He wasn’t vain, but objectively speaking, he, Glen, and even Harry were strong prospects by any measure–yet Maggie, careful not to embarrass anyone, accepted their kindness with visible reluctance. Her calm around them was unshakable.
Which made him, at last, curious about the husband he’d chosen not to ask about.
Glen had tried to look into the man before and come up empty; worried it was improper, he’d given up. He, too, could feel that Maggie hadn’t been moved by any of them–not by him, not by Jimmy, not by Harry–and his curiosity only grew.
At Jimmy’s question, both men turned to Johnny.
Johnny paused, lips thinning. He had no desire to say Franklin’s name. He snorted. “Him? A scumbag.”

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....
