**Freedom 468**
**Chapter 468**
Maggie found herself lost in thought, echoing the very sentiment that had been swirling in her mind for days.
If both parties could come to an understanding without any significant disputes, even a divorce that was contested could be wrapped up in no time at all.
Yet, the reality loomed over her like a heavy cloud. Soon, she would need to make her way to the base, with her departure and return dates hanging in uncertainty like a pendulum, swinging between anxiety and anticipation.
The thought of filing for divorce as the plaintiff weighed heavily on her. If she couldn’t attend the hearing, the case would simply be dismissed, leaving her in a state of limbo.
In light of that, an amicable agreement-based divorce seemed to be the more sensible route.
At least with mutual consent, once the cooling-off period concluded, she and Franklin could coordinate a visit to the Civil Center that aligned with both of their schedules. It might even smooth out the rough edges of this tumultuous process.
She knew Franklin well enough to understand that if he found a moment of free time, he would reach out to her without hesitation to finalize everything.
That’s why, just yesterday, when silence reigned and no message came from him, she chose not to reach out herself.
After all, if he was too preoccupied with his own life, there was little point in her chasing after him day after day like a lost puppy.
But now—
As she cast her gaze across the room, her eyes locked onto Franklin, and a slight furrow formed on her brow.
If she proceeded with filing for divorce, there was a possibility that Franklin, as the defendant, might opt not to show up in court at all.
She could also consider letting him take the lead as the plaintiff, but that came with its own set of risks and uncertainties.
Johnny, who had been keenly aware of her internal struggle, noticed the indecision etched across her face.
“You still haven’t made a decision, have you?” he inquired, his voice laced with concern.
Maggie shook her head slowly, feeling the weight of her thoughts pressing down on her.
Johnny was well-acquainted with her worries.
Franklin had always leaned towards Julia and the Browns, favoring them in ways that made Maggie feel like an outsider in her own life.
If she couldn’t attend the hearing, who was to guarantee that Franklin wouldn’t suddenly alter the terms of their agreement at the last moment, leaving her powerless to defend herself?
The thought sent a shiver down her spine.

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....
