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

---- Chapter 500 This time, Franklin returned from his trip after only three or four days. He arrived home on Friday night. When the Brown and Green families heard the news, they all breathed a sigh of relief. "Good, he's back. That means he and Maggie can finally divorce smoothly next week." But what none of them expected was that by Sunday morning, Franklin had left on another business trip. The return date was once again uncertain. This time, even Tracy panicked. "What-Franklin went on a business trip again?!" She could not help turning to Julia. ---- "Julia, maybe...

you should talk to Franklin? At this rate, when will the two of you ever get married?" Tracy and her mother tended to react impulsively. Normally, Lauren would have stopped her-because she worried that pushing Julia might affect Julia and Franklin's relationship. But Franklin and Maggie had already missed several key decision windows. This wasn't sustainable. So even Lauren stepped in. "She's right, Julia. Maybe you should find a moment to talk to him?" Julia's expression stayed very calm, too calm. She didn't say anything. Tracy and Lauren immediately felt her displeasure.

But they misunderstood, they thought she was simply ---- annoyed at them for interfering. Tracy quickly tried to smooth things over. "Aunt just made a suggestion. Julia, if you think it's not appropriate, then forget it. Do whatever you feel is best." Julia still said nothing. Now everyone was convinced she was upset. Janice intervened. "Alright. Julia and Franklin's matters are theirs to handle. Don't meddle." Tracy hurried to nod. "Okay, okay, I won't interfere anymore." Lauren fell silent. The conversation shifted to another topic.

No one noticed that the usually loud and impulsive ---- Sophia-who had jumped to her feet the moment she heard Franklin had gone abroad again-had barely said a word since then. She sat stiffly, avoiding Julia's gaze, looking as if something was clawing at her chest. The families continued waiting for news from Franklin. But this time, Franklin had already been gone for more than ten days, and he still had not returned. And from what Julia said, Franklin still couldn't guarantee when he would finish his work. Half of the divorce decision period had already passed.

The Brown and Green families were growing increasingly anxious. Tracy spoke what everyone feared. "Don't tell me... they're going to miss another cooling-off ---- period. Again? How many times is this already?" No one responded. Even Sophia remained silent. Tracy noticed the strange silence and was about to continue when she caught sight of her daughter. Sophia looked pale, nervous, nothing like her usual sharp, talkative self. When Tracy stared, Sophia lowered her head quickly, as if hiding something. Tracy frowned. "Sophia, what's wrong with you lately?" A mother always knows.

She had felt for days that her daughter seemed distracted, quieter, as if something weighed heavily on her. But Sophia kept refusing to talk. ---- The others had heard Tracy mention Sophia's odd behavior before, but no one paid much attention. Even now, they didn't care much, until they noticed Tracy's tone. Sophia bit her lip hard. Her expression was tangled, hesitant, almost frightened. After struggling for several seconds, she finally spoke. "I... [found out something. But... I don't know if I should say it..."
