Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time (by Zora Pradeep) novel Chapter 312

Chapter 312

“No need, I’ve already eaten. Thank you.”

To be honest, his confession was actually quite touching.

But-

The reason she answered his call was because she wanted to make things clear again.

She spoke seriously, firmly, and sincerely. “Thank you for liking me, truly. But like you said, I’m not ready to start a new relationship right now. So… I’m sorry. And please, don’t wait for me.”

As she finished, noticing that Jimmy was about to say something else, she hesitated for a second, then hung up.

She stood there, phone still in hand, emotions swirling.

After a while, she let out a bitter smile and turned to head back to the private room.

That call… had taken quite a while.

Johnny, having figured out why Jimmy called, had been dying to know what happened between them.

Now, seeing her on the phone with him for that long only made him more curious.

As soon as she came back, he leaned in and asked in a low voice, “What’s going on between you and Jimmy?”

Maggie took a sip of her lemon water and replied lightly, “Not much.”

Johnny understood. “Not convenient to talk about now? I’ll ask again later.”

Maggie: “.

Glen was even more anxious than Johnny.

When Maggie stepped out to take the call, he had been waiting for her return too.

He didn’t know who Jimmy was, so while waiting, he messaged a friend to ask about him.

Since they were all in the same circle, of course his friend knew Jimmy, and immediately gave him a rundown.

Just as Maggie walked back in, his friend finished the explanation and messaged him: [Why are you suddenly asking about Jimmy?]

Not hearing what Maggie and Johnny were saying, Glen lowered his head and typed: [No reason.]

Franklin also glanced at Maggie when she returned.

But after that one look, he simply smiled and continued chatting with the others.

Maggie wasn’t paying much attention to Franklin or Glen. After saying a few words to Johnny, she joined the conversation with Professor Liam and the others.

A little while later, Professor Liam, who was seated beside Inklin, needed to ask Maggie something professional.

Maggie went over to his side, just as Franklin was busy typing a message.

As Professor Liam got up to make space, he accidentally bumped Franklin’s phone off the table. Maggie instinctively bent down to pick it up.

She was just about to hand it to Professor Liam when she noticed–it wasn’t his phone.

It was Franklin’s.

And the screen showed his call history with Julia.

Realizing whose phone it was, she quickly looked away and was about to place it back down.

But Franklin had already reached out his hand. He looked at her and said, “It’s mine. Thanks.”

She had no choice but to hand it to him.

After returning the phone, she didn’t say anything and just sat down beside Professor Liam.

About twenty minutes later, the dinner officially came to an end.

Maggie stood up, ready to leave with the others.

As they stepped out of their room, the door of the room across the hall also opened.

Johnny: “..

He leaned closer to Maggie and murmured, “What a coincidence. Probably planned.”

He meant that Franklin and Julia had arranged to leave at the same time.

Maggie had caught a glimpse of their chat earlier when she picked up the phone.

Turns out, Johnny was right–they had planned to leave together.

Glen quickly walked up to Maggie. She assumed he had something to say and asked, “What is it?”

He realized then that she truly had no idea how he felt.
