Chapter 454
The instant Maggie slid into the car, Isabella nestled closely into her embrace, seeking comfort and warmth. From the driver’s seat, Franklin cast a quick glance over his shoulder. “Any plans for later?” he asked casually.
Before Maggie could respond, Isabella lifted her face, looking up at Maggie with hopeful eyes. “Mommy, if you’re free, can we go out and play somewhere?” she asked eagerly.
Maggie had just started to answer when Isabella interrupted, her voice soft but insistent, “Please, Mommy, say yes?”
A small smile tugged at Maggie’s lips. “Alright,” she agreed gently.
About thirty minutes later, they pulled up in front of a cozy restaurant, its warm lights glowing softly against the evening sky.
As they stepped inside, their path unexpectedly crossed with Janice and Old Mrs. Brown, who were walking out the other way. Both women froze momentarily when they noticed the trio together.
“Franklin,” Janice greeted first, followed by Old Mrs. Brown’s polite nod.
Franklin returned their greeting with a brief nod but didn’t stop.
Maggie spared them a single glance, then quickly looked away, maintaining her steady pace.
Isabella, unaware of the tension, paid no attention to the exchange. She was used to seeing people greet Franklin in public and simply followed closely behind Maggie, her small hand tucked into her mother’s.
Janice and Old Mrs. Brown barely acknowledged Isabella—or Maggie, for that matter. They seemed hesitant, about to say something when Isabella’s voice rang out, “Daddy, hurry up!”
Franklin’s smile was warm as he replied, “I’m coming.”
He gave the two women one last brief nod before turning and moving toward the car.
The two women exchanged a look of surprise, but their dinner companion arrived just then. “Sorry for the wait,” he said, stepping up.
“No worries, we just got here,” Janice replied with a polite smile. “The private room is ready. Let’s head upstairs.”
They moved inside, chatting casually as they settled in and placed their orders.

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....
