Can we talk a little longer?" Maggie replied, “Next twhen Mom is free, if you want to chat, we'll talk more." Hearing Maggie say this, Isabella reluctantly replied, "Okay... but you have to keep your word." Maggie responded, "Okay." Isabella then said, “Well then... Mom, goodbye." Maggie: "Goodbye." After the call ended, Maggie hung up the phone.
Isabella, remembering that she hadn't told her mom that she bought her a gift, was about to say it, but when she realized Maggie had already hung up, she felt disappointed.
She put the phone down and went to the study to find Franklin.
Franklin was having a video conference in the study. When he saw her approach, he turned off the camera and muted the sound, asking, “What's wrong? Did you not get through on the phone?" Isabella shook her head and said, "I got through to her." Franklin, holding her in his arms, gently rubbed her forehead with his thumb, his gaze soft as he looked at her eyes and brows that resembled his own. "You're not happy that you got through to her?"

Franklin asked, "But what?" Isabella murmured, "But I feel a bit unhappy, too." "Sounds a bit deep, huh? But..."

Isabella nodded but pouted, "But mom's so busy. She said she won't be able to spend twithuntil next month..." "Then wait until next month. Dad will keep you company until then." "Mm." Isabella was tired too. After chatting for a while, she yawned, got up from his embrace, and went back to her room to rest.

But today, it was New Year's Eve.
Maggie didn't have the sprofession as her husband. Even if she was busy and there were major issues in the Miller family, there was no reason for her to not even make it back once over the past two days.
So...
Around eleven o'clock, when Franklin cdownstairs, Stella couldn't help but ask, “Did you and Maggie get divorced?" Mr CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long TChapter 205 Yancy was also nearby.
Over the past two days, with Maggie absent, he had truly thought she was just busy.
At her question, he was completely stunned.
Franklin paused, took a sip of tea, and replied calmly, “Not yet, but we are going through the process.” Yancy widened his eyes.
So... they were really getting divorced? Although he had always known that Franklin didn't like Maggie, he thought they would continue on like this.
He didn't expect them to suddenly decide to divorce...

Harry took the phone back and said to Maggie, "Happy New Year." "Happy New Year." Now that Daisy was no longer there, Maggie felt a bit awkward talking to Harry through video.
Harry asked, "Do you have any plans later? Will you be setting off fireworks, or are you going out to celebrate the New Year?" Maggie replied, "I should go out." Since Hugo and Xavier wanted to go, she would probably go out for a while too.
She thought Harry was just asking casually, so she didn't think too much about it.
She still felt that there wasn't much for her to talk about with him.
She said, “I have to go now. Let's talk later?” Harry responded, "Okay." Maggie nodded, glanced at Harry on the video, and then hung up.
After putting the phone down, she went out into the small garden to join Hugo and the others to set off Wented a Divorce for a Long TChapter 205 fireworks.
