Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time (by Zora Pradeep) novel Chapter 324

“I’m fine.” Julia said with a smile. Then, casually glancing at her watch, added, “It’s about time. Let’s go.”

Franklin nodded. “Alright.”

He gave the team a brief goodbye, then left the room with her.

Meanwhile, Maggie stayed behind and continued working with the engineers.

Since Mrs. Miller’s health scare, Maggie had mostly been staying at the Miller family home to keep an eye on things.

That night, after finishing her work at Wilson Group, she headed back for dinner.

Just after she finished eating, a new message lit up her phone.

It was from Jimmy.

I’m heading back to the base tomorrow.]

Maggie read it but didn’t reply.

Maybe expecting that, a few minutes later, he sent another one.

[See you in a month.]

It was his way of telling her: once your divorce is final, I’m coming for you.

She understood exactly what he meant. Still, she didn’t respond.

She set her phone down and picked up a book, just about to read when the phone rang again.

This time, it was from Grandma Wilson.

As soon as she picked up, the old lady’s anxious voice came through: “Maggie, I just heard about Sally. Something this serious, why didn’t you or your grandma say anything to me?”

-Maggie paused, unsure how to respond.

Grandma Wilson pressed on, “Dr. Foster from the clinic told me your grandma’s health took a hit after finding out about Sally’s condition. How is she doing now?”

“She’s doing a bit better these past couple of days. Her energy’s improved.”

“That’s good, that’s good,” Grandma Wilson said with a sigh of relief. Then she added quickly, “Don’t worry, Maggie.

I’ll help however I can. I’ll make sure we get the best doctors for your mom.”

“Thank you, Grandma,” Maggie said. “I’ve actually already ached out to some top specialists. They’ll be here tomorrow for a direct evaluation.”

“I see. Well, good–let’s see what they say first.”

“Mm.”

There was a moment of silence. Then Grandma Wilson sighed again, her voice heavy. “Your mother really…”

Such a hard life.

Maggie knew what she meant but stayed quiet.

Grandma Wilson, worried she’d upset her, quickly added, “Dr. Foster said that if things are managed well, there’s still hope. Maggie, don’t worry too much, alright?”

“I understand.”

They chatted a little longer before ending the call.

But even after she hung up, Grandma Wilson couldn’t stop worrying. She felt both sad and protective of Maggie–enough that she impulsively called Franklin.

He picked up quickly. “Grandma?”

“You–you really are something else…”

Franklin noticed her tone and asked, “Did something happen?”

“Nothing. I was just in a bad mood and needed to yell at someone. You’ll do.”

He raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”

But Grandma Wilson, now on the line, couldn’t think of what to scold him for. She huffed a breath and hung up.

Franklin put the phone down.

At the table, Isabella looked up mid–bite. “Was that Great–Grandma? Did she need something?”
