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

Chapter 89 Hearing his footsteps, Maggie turned to face him and said seriously, "I've seen the property deed. Thank you." Before he could respond, she added, "I don't have enough money at the moment, but I'll pay for it in the future." Though the villa was old, the location was good, and the property market in the capital was one of the highest in the country. That villa was worth at least two or three hundred million yuan, money she couldn't afford right now. nklin paused for a moment, loosening his necktie. Upon hearing her words, he raised an eyebrow slightly, seeming intrigued. He said coolly, "You want to givemoney?" "Yes, I-" "No need," he interrupted, placing his loosened tie aside. "I can afford this myself." With that, he also placed his watch down and went into the bathroom.

Maggie watched his retreating figure, stunned for a moment, but didn't press the matter further.

Since their marriage, she had never really asked him for anything, wanting to avoid burdening him. In a way, this house was the first thing he had given her on his own initiative.

She thought to herself that perhaps it could be a keepsake for their soon-to-end marriage.

With that thought, she placed the property deed in the drawer.

After a few busy days, by the fourth day, things had finally quieted down for Maggie.

Sue and Franklin had both been occupied, and she hadn't had much tto spend with Isabella. During lunch, Isabella called to ask if she had time, saying it had been a while since Maggie had picked her up from school. Maggie realized her schedule had cleared up a bit, so she decided to leave work early and pick up Isabella from school.

When she got home, Isabella mentioned that she was craving the dishes Maggie used to cook. So, after changing clothes, Maggie headed to the kitchen.

Since Maggie got off early, Grandma was also pleased. Seeing that Maggie was cooking, she called Franklin to ask him to chfor dinner.

Franklin declined, saying, "Grandma, I have something at the company." Grandma wasn't pleased, but she quickly brightened up and, after hanging up, told Maggie, "Mag, take the food to Frank later!"

"Grandma- 14:54 Mr. CEO, Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long TChapter 89 Before Maggie could finish, Grandma decisively ordered, "It's settled then." Grandma directed Aunt Sara and the others to make a couple of extra dishes.

Maggie didn't argue further. But she realized, if she was going to take the food to Franklin, she had no idea where he was working, and he probably wouldn't be at the office. Plus, he most likely had other arrangements, so even if she brought him food, it would probably be a wasted effort.

After thinking this through, she found a chance to go upstairs and call Franklin.

ter a while, he picked up.

"What's the matter?" "Grandma wantsto bring you dinner," Maggie said, not waiting for him to respond. "Do you have other plans? If you do, I'll tell Grandma." She was pretty sure Franklin wouldn't want her to deliver food to him. She was hoping he'd cooperate and make it easier for her to explain to Grandma. "Mm, you can tell Grandma-" Before Franklin could finish his sentence, Maggie suddenly heard Julia's voice in the background.

"Frank, the food's here." Maggie paused.

Franklin responded to Julia, "Alright." Then, he turned to speak to Maggie, "I've got dinner covered here. You can just let Grandma know." Maggie wasn't surprised by this response.

"Okay, I'll tell her," she replied, resigned. "Mm." With that, Franklin hung up the phone.

Maggie put her phone down and went downstairs to tell Grandma that Franklin already had dinner arrangements. That evening, Franklin didn't chome.

The next morning, when Grandma learned that Franklin had not chthe previous night, she becupset.

"That Frank! Even if work is busy, can't he find tto chome?" Maggie smiled but didn't respond.

They both knew that their teacher's standards were exceptionally high, so when he said "not bad," it was already a very positive evaluation.

Nolan continued, "Looking at the materials you sent over, whether it's the past fundamentals or the recent developments in the Al field, you haven't missed anything. It's pretty good." This was clearly directed at Maggie.

Her nose tingled, and before she could speak, Nolan coldly added, "But you've still been too lazy. In the m pursuit of learning, if you don't progress, you fall behind. Actually, you're regressing." Maggie quickly responded, "I know, teacher. I will do my best to make up for the tI've lost these past few years." "Mm." Nolan's teaching style was always brief and to the point. Once he said his piece, he would stop.

Seeing that Nolan seemed to have sfree time, Maggie couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, do you have ttonight? I'd like to have dinner with you." It wasn't just Maggie-Johnny hadn't had a meal with Nolan in a long teither.

Hearing Maggie's invitation, Johnny quickly nodded. "Yes, teacher, do you have time?" Nolan answered indifferently, "I already have an appointment. No time." "Ah?" Johnny was clearly disappointed.
