Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time

In the eyes of the Brown and Green families, although the Miller family had managed to stabilize their company, it would take some time before they turned a profit.

Moreover, who knew if Jason’s company would ever succeed?

As for Maggie, although she had connections with Johnny, it was said that Johnny didn’t actually value her as much as they had initially thought.

In other words, the Miller family was no longer in the same league as them.

Furthermore, they still had Franklin.

With the way Franklin valued their Julia, if she and Franklin got married, the Brown and Green families would soon rise to a new level. By then, the Miller family might not even be able to associate with them.

Thinking of this, Tracy chuckled secretly, casting a disdainful glance at Maggie before following the others to send Landon to the boys‘ dormitory.

After helping Xavier settle his luggage and leaving the school, Maggie returned to her residence.

She had just entered when there was a knock at the door.

It was Tommy’s mother and daughter.

They had just returned from their hometown and, seeing Maggie home, had come specially to deliver some local specialties.

Maggie took the gifts and said, “Thank you.”

Tommy obediently replied, “You’re welcome!”

Then, she pulled a small ornament out of her pocket. “This is a gift I specially kept for Isabella. Tomorrow,

I’ll bring it to school and give it to her!”

Tommy really liked Isabella.

Since Isabella had called her on New Year’s Day, their relationship had improved a lot.

Tommy continued happily chatting with Maggie about things related to school, but Maggie, listening,

remembered that Isabella hadn’t called her recently,

Tomorrow was the first day of school. Since Isabella hadn’t called, it was clear that she didn’t expect Maggie to take her to school.

That made sense, as Isabella didn’t lack people to take her.

Tomorrow, it was likely that not just Franklin, but also Julia would be accompanying him to send Isabella

to school.

Maggie smiled, chatted a little longer with Tommy and her mother, and then took the local specialties they had given her to the living room.

The next day, she went back to the company and continued recruiting technical staff.

At lunch, Tommy’s mother sent her several photos of Isabella at a school event today.

One of the photos even featured both Julia and Franklin.

So, it really was because of Julia that Isabella didn’t want Maggie to take her to school.

Maggie glanced at Franklin and Julia in the photo, just about to close it when she realized the photo had disappeared.

It seemed that Tommy’s mother had accidentally selected the photo, and upon realizing it, had quickly removed it.

As for her marriage with Franklin, Maggie hadn’t discussed it much with Tommy’s mother.

After a divorce, the parent with custody of the child usually controls the frequency of visits from the non–custodial parent.

Tommy’s mother thought that Maggie didn’t see Isabella often and assumed she must miss her child. So, after the event, she kindly sent Maggie some pictures of Isabella.

Sometimes, explaining one’s personal situation to others could be a hassle.

Tommy’s mother was simply being thoughtful, and Maggie replied, “Thank you.”

On Wednesday, Maggie and Johnny were handling some business near the Wilson family’s old residence.

After finishing their business, as they were getting into the car, they saw a car coming from a side road. noveldrama

That side road only led to the Wilson family’s old residence.

Maggie recognized that it was Franklin’s usual car.

Just as Maggie was about to look away, Franklin’s car stopped by the roadside, and Franklin and Julia both got out of the car.

Maggie paused.

They were coming from the Wilson family’s old residence.

So, Franklin was taking Julia to meet the matriarch of the Wilson family?

Johnny followed her gaze and also saw Franklin and Julia.

The Gray family and the Wilson family had a general relationship. Johnny had never been to the Wilson family’s old residence, and he didn’t know that it was located nearby.

Seeing Franklin and Julia, Johnny pursed his lips. “Why are they here too?”

Maggie withdrew her gaze and said, “That’s the only route leading to the Wilson family’s old residence.”

Johnny was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized. “So, Franklin is taking Julia back to meet his family now?”

Before Maggie could respond, Johnny chuckled with a hint of anger. “Your divorce certificate isn’t finalized yet, right? And now he’s already bringing her back to the old residence? Is he really that eager?”

It did look like Franklin was quite eager.

But Maggie knew that Franklin had tried before to bring Julia back to meet his family.

The problem was that the matriarch didn’t approve, and with the old man in poor health, along with various objections, Franklin had been forced to compromise.

Now, after all this time, he was finally taking Julia back to the old residence. This had clearly been a long–awaited decision.

Given that she and Franklin were now preparing for divorce, it was understandable that he would seize the opportunity when it came.

Johnny looked at her again and asked, “By the way, how much longer until your divorce certificate is finalized?”

Maggie answered, “I’m not sure. The last time I asked Franklin, he said it was almost done.”

But since the last time she asked, so much time had passed, and she still hadn’t received any update from

his side.

Johnny pursed his lips. “Who knows what he’s up to? He’s the one eager to divorce and marry Julia, yet he’s the one dragging his feet about the divorce certificate.

Next time you see him, remind him to hurry up and finalize the divorce so you don’t have to keep dealing

with him!”

Maggie smiled when she heard that. “Okay.”
