Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time (by Zora Pradeep) novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156

Isabella was absent, and Maggie smiled, saying, “We’re getting divorced soon.”

Tommy’s mother could more or less guess the situation. After all, Maggie had a daughter, yet he always lived across from her house…

Moreover, the last time, Maggie didn’t come to the parent–teacher meeting. Instead, another sexy and beautiful woman showed up.

Franklin, on the other hand, took the initiative to greet someone, “Hello.”

Tommy’s mother responded, “Hello…”

Franklin asked, “Do you know each other?”

Though the question was directed at Tommy’s mother, his gaze was on Maggie.

Maggie didn’t want to acknowledge him and didn’t answer. Tommy’s mother said, “I’m Maggie’s neighbor.”

Noticing the tense atmosphere between Maggie and Franklin, with Maggie seeming to avoid him, she quickly found an excuse to leave.

Franklin commented, “Looks like you’re getting along well with the new neighbor.”

Maggie lowered her head to look at her phone.

Franklin wasn’t upset but didn’t say anything more either.

At this point, Isabella returned, and the school’s parent–child activity was about to begin.

Maggie had participated in such an event once when Isabella first started kindergarten. After that, she hadn’t attended again, especially after Isabella and Franklin went abroad last year.

The first round of activities was about claiming seats.

Game rules: The chairs are arranged in a circle, with the number of chairs two less than the number of participating families. The parents hold their children and walk around the chairs as music plays.

When the music stops, the parents must quickly find a chair to sit in. The families who don’t find chairs

are eliminated. The last family seated is the winner.

Franklin looked at Maggle, “Shall I do it, or will you?”

Just as Maggie was about to say “you do it,” Isabella piped up, “Daddy should do it.”

Franklin looked at Maggie, “What do you think?”

Maggie replied, “You do it.”

“Alright,” Franklin said, handing her his phone. “Then you can record the video.”

.Maggie hesitated, not wanting to touch his phone. “I’ll use my own phone to record, and send it to you

fterward.”

Franklin didn’t insist and took back his phone.

He picked up Isabella and stood by the chairs with the

parents.

Maggie stood up, opened her phone, and set it to record, aiming it at Franklin and Isabella.

Suddenly, Franklin looked over at her.

The camera was aimed at his face.

Franklin smiled at her.

Maggie paused, her hand holding the phone trembling slightly.

At that moment, the music started. Franklin turned his head back, calmly holding Isabella in his arms as they, along with the other parents, walked around the chairs.

After a couple of rounds, the music stopped, and Franklin, holding Isabella, smiled as he sat down on the

Isabella nodded, “Mommy, come play with me this round.”

Maggie didn’t mind, “Okay.”

As they were getting ready for the game, Maggie hesitated for a moment, then noticed her bag. At tha moment, Franklin reached out his hand to her, “I’ll take it.”

“…Thank you.”

Maggie handed him her bag.

For most couples, it’s commonplace for the husband to hold the wife’s bag.

But for them, this was the first time Franklin had helped her with her bag.

Saggie couldn’t help wondering whether he had ever held julia’s bag before

He wasn’t dressed as formally as usual today, but the sight of him holding her bag while wearing a stee black coat felt entirely natural

If someone who didn’t know them saw from afar, they might even think he was standing there, holding his beloved woman’s bag, waiting for her to come back…

Maggie shifted her gaze away,

This game required teamwork.

Maggie stood in the middle, turning the tape in syne with the others.

Isabella stood behind her, tugging at her clothes, following her rhythm, and was thoroughly enjoying

herself.

When she saw Franklin recording a video for both of them, she laughed even more, “Daddy!”
