Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time novel Chapter 394

Mr. Claremont and the others traded looks.

They, too, realized Franklin had shown up for Maggie.

But Franklin had a girlfriend, and that relationship looked solid. Whatever this was, it had to be professional–pure appreciation. Right?

Maggie and Franklin talked for quite a while.

Once they’d exhausted the parts he found interesting, the conversation ended. After that, they didn’t speak again.

Even so, the sharp–eyed among them–Chad, Jake, Mr. Claremont–noticed Franklin occasionally glancing in Maggie’s direction…

Near the end of lunch, Franklin’s phone rang.

Whatever he heard made his face change. He hung up and said to Maggie and the others, “Miss Miller, everyone–sorry. Something urgent’s come up. I’ll have to go. Let’s gather again another time.”

Since he’d addressed her directly, Maggie could only say, “Alright. Take care.”

Franklin and Chad left in a hurry.

Watching him go, Mr. Claremont said, “Mr. Wilson looked genuinely worried–leaving that fast, it must be serious.”

Maggie’s heart skipped. A sudden fear: Did the old lady take a turn for the worse?

No unread message from him.

So it probably wasn’t about Grandma Wilson.

Relieved, she put the phone away.

Before Sophia or Janice could answer, the doors swung open and the whole family surged forward.

“Doctor, my daughter-”

“Doctor, my granddaughter-”

“Doctor-”

The chorus gave the physician a headache. He raised a hand; when the hall fell quiet, he said, “The head wound isn’t critical for now, but we’ll need further checks after she regains consciousness to be sure.”

The Browns and Greens peppered him with questions. Franklin, meanwhile, told Jake to handle the admission.

Once the room was assigned, the family clustered anxiously around Julia’s bed.

Chad returned to the office; only Jake stayed with Franklin.

Franklin had planned to fly out tomorrow. But before lunch with Maggie’s team, a last–minute change had pushed their departure earlier.

Jake checked the time, leaned in, and murmured, “Mr. Wilson, it’s already two–thirty. We have to leave for the airport before three, or we won’t make it…”

The doctor had said Julia was stable, but her head injury was severe. She likely wouldn’t wake for another hour or
