**Freedom 458**
**Chapter 458**
Yves caught sight of it as well.
In that fleeting moment, they only managed to glimpse the woman’s back, her features obscured from view. Yet, an undeniable instinct surged within Rex, compelling him to believe that the figure before them was none other than Julia.
After all, Julia shared a close bond with Franklin’s daughter, Isabella. The connection was palpable, woven through countless shared moments and laughter.
Rex’s eyes darted back to the scene a couple more times, and when he witnessed Isabella joyfully leap into the embrace of that woman, a rush of conflicting emotions washed over him. He felt a strange mix of happiness for Isabella and a pang of something deeper, something he couldn’t quite place. “Let’s go,” he urged Yves, his voice steady yet tinged with an unspoken weight.
Yves, who had also come to the same conclusion regarding the woman’s identity, raised an eyebrow in surprise. “You’re not going to say hello?” he inquired, a hint of disbelief coloring his tone.
Rex’s response was curt and resolute. “Let’s go.” There was no room for debate in his voice, and Yves, sensing the finality in Rex’s words, nodded, accepting the decision as they turned away from the scene.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Maggie remained blissfully unaware of their presence, lost in her own world.
At that moment, life continued at the Brown residence.
The clock had already ticked past five in the afternoon. Julia, clutching her phone tightly, contemplated reaching out to Franklin. She wanted to suggest they share dinner together, to reconnect, even if just for a fleeting moment.
With a deep breath, she dialed his number. The call connected, but silence echoed on the other end.
Minutes trickled by, and after more than twenty long minutes without a response, Julia found herself staring at her phone, disappointment creeping in. She sighed, the weight of unspoken words heavy in her chest, and finally decided against calling again.
Pushing herself up from the couch, she made her way downstairs to grab something refreshing to drink. Just then, Janice and Old Mrs. Brown returned from their outing, their cheerful chatter filling the air.
“Back already?” Julia greeted them, forcing a smile, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes.

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....
