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

Chapter 19

As soon as her hair was dry, Isabella announced she wanted to go to sleep.

Maggie noticed her eyes fixed on her phone, knowing she still wanted to play with it. She said, "You can look at it for a while, but then you need to sleep, okay?" know."

Since mommy was free tomorrow, she needed to let Auntie Julie know about this.

Isabella worried about how to tell Julia without hurting her feelings or making her sad, and kept pondering over the best way to break the news.

Already feeling troubled, she grew even more impatient with Maggie's nagging and pushed her toward the door. "Mom, please go. I'll turn off my phone and go to sleep by nine-thirty." Isabella was indeed self-disciplined about this.

Hearing this, Maggie bid her goodnight and left the room.

Isabella immediately closed the door and locked it.

Maggie had barely taken a step when she heard the sound of Isabella locking the door.

She knew Isabella wasn't trying to keep others out.

She was only trying to keep her out.

She probably locked the door because she wanted to discuss something with Julia.

And that was exactly the case.

As soon as Isabella locked the door, she rushed back to open her phone and found Julie's text message: [Auntie Julie...]

What they discussed, Maggie had no way of knowing.

She didn't dwell on it, nor did she care to.

Chapter 19

She turned and went back to her room.

The elderly lady liked her and often invited her back for meals.

Over the years, she had left quite a few daily necessities here.

She found a set of pajamas and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

After her shower, she sat down on her usual side of the bed. Seeing it was still early, she took out the

bk she had placed in her bag earlier and began reading quietly.

She lost track of time until her eyes started hurting. Closing the book, she checked the time and realized I was already cleven thirty.

But Franklin still hadn't returned.

Actually, even though Franklin had initially believed she had schemed against him, by their third year of marriage, while he still wasn't particularly close to her, their relationship had improved compared to before. But then, shortly after that, Julia appeared.

He fell in love with Julia and began distancing himself from her again.

After that, he barely touched her at all.

So, she wasn't sure if Franklin's late return meant he wasn't planning to come back to the room at all or if he was just busy with something.

Lost in these thoughts, Maggie unconsciously left the bedroom and went downstairs.

Just then, a voice came from nearby.

"Everyone's asleep. Is it because Maggie's there that you don't want to go back to the room this late?"

It was Maria's voice.

Maggie looked toward the source of the sound.

It was Maria and Franklin.

Her steps faltered.

Franklin was smoking, not responding.

From this distance, and with him backlit, Maggie couldn't make out his expression.

Maria, "Actually, I understand you. I've met Julia a few times. I heard she's only 25 and has already earned a doctorate from a top global university.

seems to handle family business matters well too. She's beautiful, with a wild and untameable spiri her excellence and radiance are qualities that most women don't possess.

She certainly has what it takes to attract you. But her background isn't prestigious enough. Frank, have you thought this through? You."

Franklin, "I know what kind of woman I want."

"But

Maria frowned. While she looked down on Maggie, she didn't approve of Julia either.

She wanted to say more, but seeing the displeasure in Franklin's eyes, she gave up, "You're so protective of her, won't even let me say a word. Fine, I'll stop talking, okay?" Maggie listened, her hands clenched, her cheeks stinging from the night wind.

She gave a bitter smile and lost interest in listening further, turning to leave.

Just as she left, Maria remembered something, "Oh right, I heard Maggie submitted her resignation and is planning to leave the company?"

Franklin, "The day before yesterday, Chad said she made a mistake. He was quite angry, so I told him to follow company procedures and terminate her."

Maria sneered, "So that's what happened. When she mentioned this earlier, she made it sound like

she resigned on her own.

I thought... with her clingy nature, always sticking to you like glue, how could she willingly resign? So she was actually fired, haha."

Franklin didn't respond, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

As Maggie reached the second floor and was about to return to her room, she almost collided with

Clayer is

York, who was heading downstairs.

They both startled

After recovering, York apologized first and asked with concern. "Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

Among the Wilson family, besides the elderly lady, York was the only one who treated her well. Maggie shook her head and smiled slightly, "I'm fine."

When Maggie married Franklin, York was still young and didn't understand many things clearly.
