Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time novel Chapter 422

Chapter 422

After a long pause, Julia asked. “Anything else?”

Isabella was sipping her drink and didn’t follow. “Hm? Anything else what?”

“Things your dad took the initiative to do with your mom.”

Isabella set down the cup, frowning. “No. After that Mommy got sick and had a fever. Daddy kept taking care of her. He said kids catch things easily, so he wouldn’t let me near. I only saw Mommy again once she got better.”

Julia stilled. “After your mom got sick… your dad took care of her?”

“Yeah.”

Julia lowered her eyes. “Your great–grandmother told him to, right?”

Isabella shook her head. “No. Mommy started running a fever before dawn yesterday. When Daddy found out she was sick, he took care of her and called people to fly Grandpa Zane over by helicopter to see her. Great–Grandma only found out Mommy was sick after Grandpa Zane arrived.”

Julia could guess who “Grandpa Zane” was–he was well–known in Boston.

“And after Dr. Zane came, your dad still looked after your mom? So he spent the whole day taking care of her?” she asked.

Isabella nodded. “Uh–huh. He took care of her until she got better.”

Julia said nothing.

She had called Franklin yesterday. He didn’t pick up at first. Worried something was wrong, she called Chad, who said Franklin had just told him to push some scheduled work to today because he had something to handle. Thinking the worst, she called Franklin again. He answered that time and said it wasn’t a big deal–just something at the old house he couldn’t leave.

She hadn’t pressed for details.

So yesterday, Franklin postponed work–and stayed at the old house–just to take care of Maggie?

Seeing Julia fall silent and stare fixedly at the journal, Isabella assumed she was absorbed in reading and didn’t bother her, though she herself got bored. She glanced toward the door and sighed. “Why is Daddy’s phone call taking so long?”

Just then the door opened and Franklin came back. He ruffled her hair. “Hungry?”

“A little.”

After a few words with Isabella, Franklin noticed Julia still staring at the journal and asked, “Is there something you don’t understand?”

The implication was clear: ask me if you need help,

Julia turned to look at him. His attitude toward her seemed the same as always. But his attitude toward Maggie–that had undeniably changed.

Seeing her pensive, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

Julia shook her head, started to speak, then stopped. She had brought the journal precisely because there were parts she didn’t understand and she hoped Franklin would help her sort them out. But now, hearing him ask like this, she suddenly thought–if Franklin saw Maggie reading these journals, he wouldn’t ask whether she “didn’t understand.” He’d dive in enthusiastically to discuss deeper points, the controversies, even potential errors in the articles… wouldn’t he:
