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

Franklin didn’t respond immediately, but Isabella noticed the table beside him was filled with fruits, pastries, and drinks that young people and children loved.

She excitedly ran over and exclaimed, “Wow, so much good food! And bubble tea!”

“Mm,” Franklin replied. “I had them prepare this when I knew you’d be coming.”

While speaking, he glanced at Maggie. When he saw that she was ignoring him, he shifted his gaze to

Hugo and Xavier, nodding to them before standing up. “Sit.”

Franklin had an overwhelming presence. After greeting Old Madam Wilson, Hugo and Xavier followed him without hesitation, sitting down with Isabella and enjoying the food she and Franklin had handed to

them.

After the kids had started eating, Franklin handed something to Maggie. “Want to try?”

Seeing that Old Madam Wilson was looking, Maggie reluctantly accepted and said, “Thank you.”

She took a sip, only to realize it was a strawberry–flavored drink that was perfectly to her liking.

Learning that they were going skiing, Old Madam Wilson said to Franklin, “Tingshen, you should go with

Mag and the kids. Skiing is such a dangerous activity, and it would be too tiring for her to manage three

kids by herself.

You should go help her. I have the housekeeper and Aunt Garner to take care of me, so you don’t need to

stay here with me.”

Maggie was about to say something, but Franklin spoke up first, “Got it.”

Isabella, thrilled to know Franklin was also going, said excitedly, “Yay! Dad is coming too!”

After a while, when they were about to leave the hospital, Franklin finished tidying up the table and followed Maggie and the others out of the ward.

They drove in two cars. Isabella, Hugo, and Xavier were in Maggie’s car.

When they arrived at the ski resort, Franklin helped Isabella adjust her clothes and ski goggles. At that moment, his phone rang.

He walked a little further away to answer the call. After a brief conversation, he said, “I’ll be there later.”

Isabella asked, “Dad, who was that on the phone?”

Franklin didn’t answer immediately and instead asked, “Do you want to have lunch with Dad, or with your mom and the others?”

Isabella was a little confused. “Huh? Aren’t we having lunch together?”

Franklin replied, “Mm, but I have something to take care of.”

Maggie and Hugo heard what Franklin said but didn’t comment.

Franklin ruffled Isabella’s hair and said, “No rush. Let’s ski first. We can think about lunch afterward.”

“Okay!”

The three kids were chatting not far away. Maggie put on her ski goggles and looked over at Franklin. “Has the divorce not been finalized yet?”

Franklin nodded. “Not yet.”

After a brief pause, he added, “If you need money, I can transfer some to your account.”

Maggie was about to respond but before she could, Isabella called her from afar. “Mom, hurry up!”

Maggie didn’t say anything further. Just then, her phone rang–it was a call from Jason.

He said, “Someone from Frank just contacted me, saying they want to discuss a potential collaboration.”

Wilson Group was now under Franklin’s control. After years of experience, Jason knew that Franklin wouldn’t help him without a reason.

He called to ask Maggie about the situation–he wanted to understand why Franklin was reaching out and whether there was any hidden agenda in the project, wondering if he should take it on.

Maggie didn’t respond immediately. After hanging up, she glanced at Franklin.

Maggie turned to Franklin and said, “My uncle mentioned that someone from Wilson contacted him,

wanting to collaborate on a project.”

Franklin was about to speak, but Maggie cut him off. “I know you’re probably trying to repay me and my grandmother for helping you with Grandma, but we didn’t come to the hospital because of you. As for the
