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

Chapter 550

"Hm? Anything else what?" "Things your dad took the initiative to do with your mom." Isabella set down the cup,

frowning. "No. After that Mommy got sick and had a fever. Daddy kept taking care of her. He said kids catch

things easily, so he wouldn't letnear. | only saw Mommy again once she got better." Julia stilled. "After your

mom got sick... your dad took care of her?" "Yeah." Julia lowered her eyes. "Your great-grandmother told him to,

right?" Isabella shook her head.

"No. Mommy started running a ---- fever before dawn yesterday. When Daddy found out she was sick, he took

care of her and called people to fly Grandpa Zane over by helicopter to see her. Great-Grandma only found out

Mommy was sick after Grandpa Zane arrived." Julia could guess who "Grandpa Zane" was-he was well-known in

Boston. "And after Dr. Zane came, your dad still looked after your mom? So he spent the whole day taking care

of her?" she asked. Isabella nodded. "Uh-huh. He took care of her until she got better." Julia said nothing. She

had called Franklin yesterday.

He didn't pick up at first. Worried something was wrong, she called Chad, who said Franklin had just told him to

push sscheduled work to today because he had something to handle. Thinking the worst, she called Franklin

again. He answered that tand said it wasn't a big deal-just something at the old house he couldn't leave. She

hadn't pressed for details. ---- So yesterday, Franklin postponed work-and stayed at the old house-just to take

care of Maggie?

Seeing Julia fall silent and stare fixedly at the journal, Isabella assumed she was absorbed in reading and didn't

bother her, though she herself got bored. She glanced toward the door and sighed. "Why is Daddy's phone call

taking so long?" Just then the door opened and Franklin cback. He ruffled her hair. "Hungry?" "A little." After

a few words with Isabella, Franklin noticed Julia still staring at the journal and asked, "Is there something you

don't understand?" The implication was clear: askif you need help. Julia turned to look at him.

His attitude toward her seemed the sas always. But his attitude toward Maggie-that had undeniably

changed. Seeing her pensive, he asked, "What's wrong?" ---- Julia shook her head, started to speak, then

stopped. She had brought the journal precisely because there were parts she didn't understand and she hoped

Franklin would help her sort them out.
