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

---- Chapter 458 Yves saw it too. They both only caught a glimpse of the woman's back and couldn't see her face. Even so, Rex instinctively believed it was Julia. After all, Julia and Franklin's daughter were quite close. Rex looked twice more, and when he saw Isabella happily throw herself into that woman's arms, he stopped watching. "Let's go," he said to Yves. Yves, who also assumed the woman was Julia, was surprised. "You're not going to say hello?" Rex simply replied, "Let's go." They turned and left. On the other side, Maggie hadn't noticed them at all.

---- Meanwhile, at the Brown residence. It was already five in the afternoon. Julia held her phone and called Franklin, wanting to ask him to have dinner together. The call went through, but no one answered. More than twenty minutes passed with no response from him. Julia stared at her phone in silence for a while, then gave up and didn't call again. She went downstairs to get something to drink, just as Janice and Old Mrs. Brown returned from their outing. "Back already?" Julia greeted them.

"Yes." Janice set down her bag and looked at her daughter, who was still wearing the same loungewear from that morning. "You stayed home all day?" "Yes." ---- Janice and Old Mrs. Brown hadn't thought much about running into Maggie and Franklin at lunch. They assumed Julia already knew the three of them had gone out together, so they didn't bring it up. But seeing her daughter sitting at home alone, clearly ina low mood, Janice couldn't help feeling a bit sorry for her.

Thinking of Franklin dining with Maggie and their daughter, she gently patted Julia's shoulder and said softly, "It'll get better soon." Once Franklin and Maggie officially divorced, there would be no reason for them to keep seeing each other privately, even if they had a child together. Julia thought her mother was referring to the divorce. That was indeed what had been bothering her the most lately. She didn't explain further and only murmured, "Mm." When she went back upstairs and saw that Franklin still hadn't replied to her messages, she hesitated, then called him again.

---- Still, no answer. After a pause, she called Isabella instead. That call also went unanswered. At that moment, Franklin and Maggie were busy making wine. Afterward, they stayed at the estate for dinner. Isabella had enjoyed herself so much that she didn't want to leave. There were more things to do at the villa, and she had heard that the stars would be especially bright that night. She begged to stay and watch them from the rooftop. Maggie didn't want to stay. "Mom didn't bring a change of clothes.

Maybe next time." But Franklin said, "If you need anything, the staff can prepare it." Isabella nodded eagerly. "Right, we didn't bring any ---- either. They can buy some for us-it'll be quick." Maggie frowned, glancing at Franklin. He poured her a glass of water and smiled. "You've been busy with work. Isn't it nice to relax a little?" Maggie frowned deeper. Was that really the point?
