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

After Isabella left, Maggie found her book, but instead of returning to her room, she went to the second–floor window and sat by the floor–to–ceiling window to read.

Half an hour later, Grandma Wilson brought up a bowl of brewed herbal medicine. “Mag, so you’re here.”

Maggie put down the book and stood up to take the bowl. “Grandma, why did you bring it up yourself? You could have just asked someone to tell me to come downstairs for it.”

“You’re in poor health, so it’s better you don’t move around too much.”

Grandma Wilson sat down on another sofa, frowning. “I was going to ask Frank to bring it up, but he’s in the study, typing away at the keyboard. It’s the weekend, and I don’t know what he’s so busy with.”

Earlier in the dining room, Franklin was teaching Julia about some project details. Maggie thought that Franklin must have felt it was easier to type on the computer, so that’s why he went to the study.

Thinking about this, Maggie silently picked up the bowl and began drinking the medicine.

Now that the weather was cold, the medicine was no longer hot. Maggie held the bowl and gulped it down quickly, finishing the entire bowl of bitter herbal medicine.

Grandma Wilson frowned as she watched. “Such bitter medicine, Maggie, take your time.”

Maggie put the bowl down. “It’s okay, not too bitter.”

After rinsing her mouth with some water, Grandma Wilson handed her a piece of candy.

Maggie didn’t eat it.

Dinner was almost ready, but Maggie had already eaten and couldn’t eat more.

Grandma Wilson then went downstairs to have her dinner.

About half an hour later, Grandma Wilson and Isabella returned upstairs, but both had rather grim expressions.

Grandma Wilson’s face was cold. “It’s already this late, and Frank still went to the company? He’s busy for nothing!”

Maggie had been so absorbed in her book that she hadn’t noticed the sound of a car outside.

Franklin had left at night, likely because something had come up with Julia’s project, and he had gone to help her handle it.

Isabella pouted as she lay on Maggie’s lap. “Daddy didn’t take me with him.”

Naturally, Franklin wouldn’t take her.

If Franklin had taken her, the entire company would know that he was married and had such a big daughter.

What would that do to Julia’s reputation?
