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

Chapter 552

---- Chapter 424 But it was rush hour. After she placed the order, theshowed more than two hundred

passengers in the queue ahead of her. It was also the first day of school-traffic was snarled with parents dropping

kids off. Maggie stopped walking. Franklin, who had been trailing a step behind, noticed and cback. "What is

it?" "Nothing," she said. In the end, she got into Franklin's car. He turned as if to speak, but his phone rang again.

"Sorry, Ineed to take this." "Go ahead," Maggie said. ---- The call seemed to be from overseas; he spoke in French

the whole time.

From what she could gather, he needed to fly to France soon, but told the other side he had important matters in

two days and would clater. He stayed on the call for quite a while, only hanging up as they were

approaching Cole. Franklin started to say something, but before he could, Maggie said, "Have the driver pull over

up ahead. I'll walk from there." He understood, glanced at her, and didn't argue. He told the driver to stop a

couple hundred meters from Cole. Maggie got out. Before closing the door, she said politely, "Thank you."

Franklin smiled.

"You're welcome." She met that smile briefly, said nothing more, and left. Not long after Franklin and Maggie left

the school, ---- Isabella's smartwatch rang. It was Julia. Isabella was in high spirits. "Auntie Julia!" "It's me," Julia

said warmly. "Are you at school now?" "Uh-huh!" "You sound happy," Julia laughed. After a brief pause, she got to

the point. "By the way, did your dad go with your mom to drop you off today?" "Yes!" "see." Julia's smile thinned.

"I thought if your mom was taking you, your dad wouldn't need to." "T hadn't planned on Daddy coming,"

Isabella said guilelessly.

"But after dinner yesterday, when | was packing to go to Great-Grandma's, Daddy suddenly said he wanted to

takehimself on the first day. So he toldto stay hlast night, and this morning he drove withto

pick Mommy up." "I understand." A beat. "So your mom rode in your dad's ---- car?" "Yep." Julia's smile faded

further. She didn't reply at once. The truth was, when she'd heard Isabella had asked Maggie to take her on the

first day, the reason she didn't insist on going herself was precisely to see whether Franklin would use the

opportunity to get close to Maggie.

And indeed-he had. So now... Franklin and Maggie- Julia's hands tightened; her heart clenched. After a few more

words with Isabella, she found an excuse to end the call. As soon as she hung up, the smile drained from her

face.
