Chapter 87
As soon as she thought of this, a wave of bitterness rose in Maggie’s throat. Suddenly, the air in the car felt thick and stuffy
She looked away from her thoughts, intending to roll down the window for some fresh air, but paused just before pressing the
button.
In the end, she didn’t open the window. Instead, she turned her head slightly and looked out the window.
wasn’t sure how much time passed, but soon, the car arrived at Isabella’s school. Maggie got out of the car to accompany het inside, while Franklin stayed in the car.
“Dad…” Isabella looked back at him, clearly hoping he would get out of the car with them.
“Dad has something to do,” Franklin answered shortly.
“Oh.” Isabella’s shoulders drooped slightly, and she followed her teacher into the school.
Maggie stood by the car. Despite the lingering awkwardness, she chose not to push the situation further. She turned toward the car and told Franklin, “You go ahead. I’ll take a taxi to the company later.”
Franklin glanced at her briefly and said, “It’s on the way.”
Maggie hesitated. She didn’t want to ride in his car, but she also didn’t want to make a big deal of it. Since he didn’t seem to care, why should she?
In the end, she said nothing. After watching Isabella enter the school, she turned and got back into the car.
The atmosphere in the car remained tense and silent. Franklin was still looking at his phone, and Maggie didn’t feel like breaking the silence. She opened the documents that Johnny had sent her and became absorbed in them.
Before she knew it, the car had reached the parking lot of Cole’s office building. Maggie didn’t even notice until she heard
Franklin’s voice.
“We’re here.”
She looked up to see the car stopped in front of the building. The car, a luxurious Bentley, was drawing attention from several people around.
Maggie quickly grabbed her bag and rushed to get out of the car. Not wanting to attract unnecessary attention, she murmured, “Thank you.”
Franklin glanced at her and responded briefly with, “Mm.”
Then he instructed the driver, “Let’s go.”
The car quickly drove away. Maggie entered the company building, trying to shake off the unease lingering from the ride.
At lunch, Johnny had arranged for a business lunch with some partners, and Maggie accompanied them.

As the car drove into the restaurant’s parking lot. Maggie spotted Franklin. It had just gotten out of his ear. At the same time, Julia also emerged from his car.
Johnrly parked the cat and noticed them as well. He rubbed his forehead slightly and said, “What a coincidence.”
“Mm.” Maggie responded indifferently.
At this moment, she also noticed Logan and Tracy standing nearby. They seemed to have arrived earlier and were now walking towards Franklin and Julia.
“Should we get out of the car?” Johnny asked. “Or should we wait until they leave?“
Xt’s get out.” Maggie said calmly. She didn’t feel like she had done anything wrong, so she had no reason to avoid them.
She and Johnny got out of the car.
When Franklin and Julia saw them, they both noticed immediately.
Franklin’s expression remained calm, his gaze flicking over Maggie briefly before turning away. Julia, however, immediately coldened upon seeing her.
Maggie’s heart sank, sensing the difference in Julia’s reaction. In the past, Julia might have been cold, but she wouldn’t show outright hostility.
Maggie suspected it had something to do with Franklin telling Julia about the arrangement regarding her uncle not staying across from her family’s house.
Indeed, Franklin had mentioned it to her, and she had agreed. But to Maggie, this wasn’t a major issue–it was the act of seeking Franklin’s help that troubled her.
Julia clearly didn’t want to see any connection between them.
This made Julia’s expression even colder.
When Logan noticed Julia’s unusual reaction, he looked over and saw Maggie. He frowned slightly.
Tracy, seeing the scene for the first time, couldn’t help but feel a sense of triumph. After all, she knew how much Franklin cared about Julia. However, she didn’t dare say anything too provocative in front of him.
Julia walked over, but instead of addressing Maggie, she went straight to Johnny.
“Mr. Gray, what a coincidence! We meet again,” Julia said with a bright smile, clearly trying to maintain a light tone.
Johnny smiled stiffly and replied, “Yes, quite a coincidence.”
“I’ve been meaning to invite you to lunch, but I’ve been so busy lately, I just didn’t find the time,” Julia added.
“Miss Brown, no need to be so polite,” Johnny said, his voice tinged with a hint of sarcasm. “We all know how busy you are.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t still be working at Cole after more than a month of meeting people.
Logan also saw this as an opportunity to establish a good relationship with Johnny. He greeted him and then turned his

attention back to Maggie, his gaze lingering for a moment before he also walked toward Franklin.
After exchanging pleasantries, the group walked past Maggie without sparing her a second glance, making their way into the restaurant with Tranklin.
Johnny watched them go, a headache brewing. “They sure know how to ignore you.”
Maggie shrugged indifferently, “Mm.”
She then looked at Johnny and said, “Let’s go. We shouldn’t keep the guests waiting too long.”
at evening, Maggie had to work overtime. However, around 7 PM, her grandmother called to ask when she would be coming
home.
Although her grandmother was there, Maggie knew she should return home earlier, yet there were still many thoughts she hadn’t sorted out, and she was reluctant to leave her work unfinished.
After a moment of hesitation, she replied, “Sorry, Grandma, I have to work overtime, so I’ll be home later.”
Her grandmother sighed, “Frank is busy, and you are too. The two of you, with things like this… when will you make progress?”

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....
