Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463

Along with the flowers from Harry came a card and a small handmade flower from Daisy.

The gift was from Daisy, but Harry had helped deliver it.

To Maggie, Harry’s bouquet was simply a polite gesture.

Even so, since she had received it, she naturally felt she should thank him in person..

She called him.

Harry had been expecting her call and had been waiting for it for some time.

So when the phone rang, he picked up almost instantly. “Got the flowers? Happy birthday.”

“Yes, I did. Thank you for the flowers. And please tell Daisy that I really like her gift.”

Harry chuckled softly. “I will. She actually made it and mailed it two weeks ago. Knowing you liked it will make her very happy.”

Maggie’s heart warmed. “Please tell her that when she’s back in New York, I’d like to take her out for a meal.”

“All right, I’ll let her know.”

“Thank you,” Maggie said. “I won’t keep you. Thanks again for the flowers.”

Harry didn’t want the call to end so quickly, but-

“You’re welcome,” he said quietly.

When the call ended, Maggie paused for a moment, then dialed Jimmy’s number.

It didn’t go through. She figured he must be on base and that the flowers had been arranged in advance.

So she sent him a message instead, thanking him and politely restating her stance.

She did the same with Glen–sending a brief, measured message of thanks.

Meanwhile, Harry sat in silence for a while after hanging up. The faint smile he’d worn slowly faded.

After a long pause, he called Levi.

Levi sounded surprised when he picked up. “Well, well, the busy man finally remembers his friends? How long has it been since you last called?”

Harry said nothing to the teasing. “What are you doing?”

“What do you think I’m doing? Bored out of my mind. Why, what’s up?”

Harry turned the lighter in his hand, flicking it open and shut, then asked, “Has Franklin been busy lately?”

“Don’t even start,” Levi sighed. “He’s busier than you. Left town yesterday afternoon.”

Harry’s gaze dropped. “Really? Did he say when he’ll be back?”

“No idea. He said he’s not sure himself.”

Levi’s tone grew more exasperated. “This is his decision period with Maggie. Why couldn’t he finish everything earlier or later? Why get swamped now? If he misses the window again, the divorce will have to be delayed all over.”

He wasn’t implying that Franklin was stalling on purpose–he was just frustrated on Franklin’s behalf.

Harry knew there were always certain times of the year when Franklin disappeared into work.

Still, even for him, being so busy he couldn’t spare thirty minutes sounded absurd.

Harry stayed quiet.

On the other end, Levi sighed. “Forget it. He’s probably more annoyed by the whole thing than we are.”

“Yeah,” Harry said.

Levi tried to lighten the mood. “How about lunch later? I’ll ask Julia to come too.”

At Julia’s name, Harry hesitated. “Let’s wait until Franklin’s back. We’ll all go then.”

“Fine,” Levi said.
