Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397

On Thursday, Maggie didn’t accompany Isabella to her out–of–town competition.

The girl wasn’t angry, only pouted and wheedled until Maggie promised to take her out once she returned. Maggie

relented.

Busy with work the next two days, Maggie hadn’t gone to the hospital.

Friday morning, she finally stopped by again.

Downstairs, she spotted Julia, head bandaged, strolling with her phone in hand.

“Don’t worry, Auntie’s much better,” Julia said warmly into the line. “Isabella, focus on your match. Call me as soon as you have the results, alright? Auntie will keep her phone by her side and won’t miss it. Now go join your team.

Good luck!”

When she looked up and saw Maggie, Julia’s gaze turned cold and slid away.

It was barely eight in the morning, yet Isabella had already called–as she did every day.

Expressionless, Maggie walked past Julia into the elevator.

In the ward, she found the room empty–Old Mrs. Wilson had gone out for air. Maggie set down her flowers and headed to the garden.

There she saw Janice and Julia, eyes fixed on the old lady in the distance.

Old Mrs. Wilson herself hadn’t noticed them. She didn’t even know Julia was hospitalized here.

But Janice and Julia had seen her–and when they noticed Maggie arrive, they turned and walked away.

The old woman spotted Maggie and beamed. “Maggie, you’re here?”

“Grandma.”

Though Julia and Janice had gone, they had seen the joy on the old lady’s face.

They had considered approaching, but fearing the shock might worsen her condition, they’d held back.

Now, watching her light up for Maggie, their hearts soured further.

Janice sneered, “So what if Grandma likes her? She can’t stop Franklin from divorcing her. Even if Grandma

dislikes me, if Franklin insists on marrying my daughter, she won’t be able to stop it either.”

Julia’s thoughts echoed the same. The old woman’s illness had nearly taken her life; yet Franklin hadn’t budged on

the divorce.

That meant even Grandma had tacitly accepted it.

Julia’s heart steadied. She was no longer anxious–Franklin cared more than she had thought.

Grandma’s favor or not no longer mattered.

The decision lay solely with Franklin. And Julia believed he had already made his choice.
