Chapter 463
Along with the flowers from Harry came a card and a small handmade flower from Daisy.
The gift was from Daisy, but Harry had helped deliver it.
To Maggie, Harry’s bouquet was simply a polite gesture.
Even so, since she had received it, she naturally felt she should thank him in person..
She called him.
Harry had been expecting her call and had been waiting for it for some time.
So when the phone rang, he picked up almost instantly. “Got the flowers? Happy birthday.”
“Yes, I did. Thank you for the flowers. And please tell Daisy that I really like her gift.”
Harry chuckled softly. “I will. She actually made it and mailed it two weeks ago. Knowing you liked it will make her very happy.”
Maggie’s heart warmed. “Please tell her that when she’s back in New York, I’d like to take her out for a meal.”
“All right, I’ll let her know.”
“Thank you,” Maggie said. “I won’t keep you. Thanks again for the flowers.”
Harry didn’t want the call to end so quickly, but-
“You’re welcome,” he said quietly.
When the call ended, Maggie paused for a moment, then dialed Jimmy’s number.
It didn’t go through. She figured he must be on base and that the flowers had been arranged in advance.
So she sent him a message instead, thanking him and politely restating her stance.
She did the same with Glen–sending a brief, measured message of thanks.
Meanwhile, Harry sat in silence for a while after hanging up. The faint smile he’d worn slowly faded.
After a long pause, he called Levi.
Levi sounded surprised when he picked up. “Well, well, the busy man finally remembers his friends? How long has it been since you last called?”
Harry said nothing to the teasing. “What are you doing?”
“What do you think I’m doing? Bored out of my mind. Why, what’s up?”
Harry turned the lighter in his hand, flicking it open and shut, then asked, “Has Franklin been busy lately?”
“Don’t even start,” Levi sighed. “He’s busier than you. Left town yesterday afternoon.”
Harry’s gaze dropped. “Really? Did he say when he’ll be back?”

“No idea. He said he’s not sure himself.”
Levi’s tone grew more exasperated. “This is his decision period with Maggie. Why couldn’t he finish everything earlier or later? Why get swamped now? If he misses the window again, the divorce will have to be delayed all over.”
He wasn’t implying that Franklin was stalling on purpose–he was just frustrated on Franklin’s behalf.

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....
