**Chapter 464**
That afternoon, as the sun dipped lower in the sky, painting the world in warm hues, Maggie stepped into the familiar confines of the Miller residence. The air was filled with the faint scent of freshly baked cookies, a comforting aroma that always welcomed her home. Just as she closed the door behind her, she caught the sound of Isabella’s cheerful voice drifting through the hallway, her laughter mingling with the static of a phone call.
“Mom!” Isabella exclaimed, her face lighting up like a thousand suns the moment she spotted Maggie.
Maggie felt a rush of warmth at the sight of her daughter, her heart swelling with affection. But before she could respond, Isabella darted toward her, the phone clutched tightly in her small hand. “Mom, Dad wants to talk to you!” she announced, her excitement palpable.
Maggie hesitated for a brief moment, her heart sinking at the mention of Franklin. With a resigned sigh, she took the phone from Isabella, bringing it to her ear. “Hello,” she said, her voice steady but tinged with an undercurrent of tension.
“Happy birthday,” Franklin’s voice came through, smooth yet distant.
For two agonizing seconds, silence enveloped Maggie. She felt a mix of emotions swirling within her—gratitude, resentment, and a deep-seated longing. “Thank you,” she finally replied, her voice barely above a whisper.
This should have been the moment to acknowledge the extravagant gift he had sent her, to express her appreciation for the diamond that sparkled like a distant star. But the words remained lodged in her throat, unspoken.
Franklin, on the other end, didn’t bring it up either, as if that dazzling gem held no significance to him. “I’m busy here,” he stated matter-of-factly. “It’ll be a while before I can come back.”
Maggie’s lips pressed into a thin line, understanding the implications of his words all too well. The distance between them felt insurmountable, a chasm that seemed to grow wider with each passing day.
“What’s wrong?” Franklin asked after a moment of silence, his voice probing yet cool.
“Are you angry?” he continued, sensing the tension.
Maggie chose silence, letting it hang in the air like a heavy fog. “Is there anything else?” she finally replied, her tone icy.

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....
