**Freedom 465**
**Chapter 465**
In the midst of a flurry of lucrative projects surfacing one after another, the Browns and Greens found themselves mere spectators, watching the unfolding opportunities from the sidelines. Kevin’s absence was indeed tangible, but he bore it with a sense of acceptance rather than complaint.
As he pondered the situation, he realized that as long as the bond between Franklin and Julia remained strong and unwavering, there would always be a chance for financial collaboration in the future. There was no need to rush; patience was a virtue they all understood well.
Despite this understanding, a palpable tension hung in the air, for their minds were preoccupied with a more pressing concern.
The news reports indicated that Franklin had a multitude of affairs to attend to overseas and would likely not return for quite some time.
Old Mrs. Green’s brow creased with worry, her voice tinged with anxiety. “Do you think Franklin won’t make it back before the decision period ends?”
Even Janice, who typically maintained her composure, exhibited signs of restlessness.
The delay was detrimental to everyone involved.
Turning her attention to Julia, Old Mrs. Brown inquired, “Julia, what did Franklin say about his return?”
Julia, momentarily lost in her thoughts, snapped back to reality and replied with a hint of uncertainty, “He mentioned he’s not sure yet.”
The exchange of glances between the Green and Brown families spoke volumes of their collective anxiety.
Old Mrs. Green let out a heavy sigh, her voice softening. “Once he wraps up his business, I’m confident he’ll return as swiftly as possible. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that it’s before the deadline. After all, we still have half a month left.”
Julia’s gaze fell to the floor, her silence echoing her inner turmoil.
With Franklin’s return still shrouded in uncertainty, Maggie assumed that he would reach out to her once he was ready to finalize the divorce.
Thus, she continued with her daily routine, commuting to work and returning home, her mind occupied with the busyness of her job.
In fact, work had been particularly demanding lately, leaving her little time to dwell on her personal life.
Before she knew it, another week had slipped by, and the countdown to the end of the decision period had dwindled to just over a week.
That evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Maggie stole a glance at the clock and then at Isabella, who was sprawled on the floor, engrossed in a game.
“Isabella,” she called out, her voice tinged with curiosity.
Isabella looked up, her eyes bright. “Yes, Mom?”
Maggie hesitated for a moment, the weight of her question hanging in the air. “Did your dad say when he’ll be back?”
Isabella shook her head, her expression serious. “I asked him tonight. He said not so soon.”

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....
