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

As Jane was lost in thought, Franklin arrived.

After greeting the Brown family and the Green family members, Julia introduced Jane to Franklin, saying, “This is my aunt’s daughter, Jane.”

Franklin glanced at Jane and smiled politely, offering a friendly greeting, “Hello.”

Jane had only seen Franklin in Julia’s social circles before. But now, seeing him in person, she immediately understood why Julia had chosen him.

Despite the fact that the young and talented men who had pursued Julia in the past were all impressive in their own right, none of them could hold a candle to Franklin.

Whether it was his personal achievements, education, family background, or just his overall presence, he surpassed them by far.

Many of Julia’s previous suitors were already exceptional, but now, Jane realized how vast the gap was between them and Franklin.

It was as if there was always someone better out there–someone beyond what she had thought possible.

Moreover, she had to admit that Franklin and Julia made an incredibly good match.

However, thinking back to the complicated situation with Maggie and Franklin, Jane lowered her gaze, speaking softly, “You… Hello.”

After Franklin finished greeting everyone, he settled down on the sofa.

Julia had managed to find herself a boyfriend from the capital, and with his help, the Brown family had easily gained entry into the top–tier circles of the capital.

This news had spread like wildfire among the upper echelons of Y City’s social scene since last year.

Today, some of the Brown family’s old friends from Y City had come to visit Brown Old Madam.

At first, they hadn’t believed that the Brown family had managed to break into the upper echelons of the city’s elite.

After all, no matter how outstanding Julia was, the Brown family itself had always been considered a

middle–class family in Y City.

Even if Julia were trying to marry into the top tier of Y City’s circles, they didn’t have the connections or the financial backing to make it happen, let alone break into the clite circles of the capital.

However, after seeing the Brown family’s luxurious villa and meeting Franklin in person, they had no choice but to believe it.

When they saw them looking at Franklin in awe, Julia casually explained, “They’re old friends of the Brown family.”

Franklin nodded politely as he shook hands with everyone who greeted him.

After that, they moved to the dining area to have their meal.

Jane was about to graduate with her master’s degree. Lauren had asked her to come to the capital to look for work, hoping Julia could help her find a suitable match while she was at it.

Franklin had been very courteous to everyone in the Brown and Green families.

After the meal, Lauren, noticing that Franklin seemed to be in a good mood, couldn’t help but bring up the topic.

She knew that Jane didn’t really want to come to the capital to work and didn’t want to impose on anyone. But as a mother, she felt it was her responsibility to nudge things along.

Before she could finish speaking, Jane nervously interrupted, “You… You don’t have to trouble yourself.”

Before she could finish, Franklin turned to her, smiling gently.

“It’s no trouble,” he said, pausing for a moment before looking at her and continuing, “Cousin, is it? What kind of expectations do you have for your work here?”

Jane was stunned. She hadn’t expected Franklin to be so respectful, so attentive toward her. She hadn’t expected him to show so much interest in her personally.

Was it because he cared so much for Julia that he extended that same consideration to her, just because

she was Julia’s relative?

Earlier, at the dinner table, she had heard Sophia say that Franklin had been so jealous of all the other

outstanding men who admired Julia that he had transferred a large portion of his company’s shares to Julia, just to keep other men away.

Jane had thought that this was already a huge gesture of how much Franklin valued Julia. But she hadn’t expected him to care this much about Julia’s family and relatives.

She was surprised he would treat her, a distant relative whom he’d only met once, with such attention.

She’d also heard that Franklin and Maggie hadn’t officially divorced yet, and that Franklin and Julia weren’t married.

When she had heard Sophia call him “brother–in–law” earlier, it had made her uncomfortable.

But now, she was completely caught off guard. He had just called her “cousin” so easily.

Jane was flustered. She had always been shy and self–conscious, especially when compared to Julia, who was so outstanding. People rarely paid this much attention to her.

And now, with Franklin personally speaking to her like this, she didn’t know what to say.

Julia gently patted Franklin’s arm, saying, “Don’t scare her.”

Franklin smiled and nodded, saying, “Okay.” He turned back to Jane and said, “Just let me know when

you’ve made a decision. Don’t feel embarrassed.”

Jane, flustered and unsure how to react, hurriedly nodded, “Okay… I’ll… I’ll let you know.”
