Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time (by Zora Pradeep) novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185

As Maggie drove the car, not long after leaving the hospital, GrandmanMiller seemed to remember

something and suddenly said, “Franklin arrived at the hospital, but what about Isabella? Where did she go?”

Before Maggie could respond, Grandma Miller’s expression darkened.

Maggie could tell from her expression that she was unhappy with how Franklin had left Isabella behind, coming to the hospital with Julia instead.

“He will arrange things properly,” Maggie said.

But Grandma Miller didn’t seem to believe it. She said, “If he continues like this, Mag, you should file a lawsuit. No matter what, you must get custody of Isabella!”

Maggie paused for a moment before calmly replying, “Alright.”

Grandma Miller was still not happy.

Once they returned to the Miller family home, Grandma Miller was the first to get out of the car.

At this moment, Maggie’s phone rang.

It was Isabella calling.

Maggie didn’t answer.

Perhaps because she had spent so little time with Isabella in the past few months and hadn’t answered

her calls, she could clearly feel that Isabella had become clingier than before.

It was as if she was trying to return to when she had been the only one taking care of her.

Her phone rang again.

Maggie glanced at it, but still didn’t answer. Instead, she turned off her phone and went into the house to join the family for dinner.

But just as she sat down, the house phone rang.

Maggie almost immediately guessed who was calling.

She quickly stood up. “I’ll take the call.”

She walked quickly out of the living room.

As expected, it was Isabella on the other end of the line.

Hearing her voice, Isabella happily called out, “Mom!”

Maggie responded and asked, “Have you eaten?”

“Not yet,” Isabella replied in a slightly sulky voice. “Mom, are you at Grandma’s house? I want to come over too. Can you eat with me later?”

Grandma Miller, hearing this, looked over and asked, “Is that Isabella on the phone?”

Maggie could only answer, “Yes.”

“Does Isabella miss you?” Grandma Miller put down her bowl and walked over. “If she wants to come over, quickly contact Franklin and have someone bring her here. We’ll save some food for her.”

Maggie said, “…Understood.”

She then spoke to Isabella, “Alright, come over now.”

“Okay!”

Before hanging up, Maggie remembered something and added, “Tell your dad before you come over.”

“Got it.”

The Miller family was waiting to continue eating until Isabella arrived.

Maggie told them not to wait for her.

About an hour later, Isabella arrived at the Miller family home.

As soon as she entered, she ran toward Maggie. “Mom! I’m back!”

“Mm.” Maggie adjusted her clothes and said calmly, “Let me reheat your food.”

“Okay!”

Isabella put down her little backpack and tablet and followed Maggie into the kitchen.

Isabella didn’t know what was going through Grandma Miller’s mind. She continued, “Uncle Harry invited me to have dinner with them, but I wanted to come back and eat, so I called you.”

“I did!” Isabella happily replied.

Maggie didn’t ask any further.

After finishing her meal, Isabella stayed in the living room to accompany Maggie and Grandma Miller.

Grandma Miller sat next to Isabella and asked, “Would you like to stay at Grandma’s house for a little

longer?”

Before Maggie could respond, Isabella happily said, “Sure!”

Grandma Miller continued, “Since you agreed to stay with Grandma, you can’t go back on your word. You’ll stay at least for a week.”

“Okay!”

Maggie frowned.

Grandma Miller was very happy and lovingly patted Isabella’s hand.

As Isabella lowered her head to play games, Grandma Miller spoke to Maggie. “A child raised by you is different. No matter what, Isabella still clings to you.”

Maggie listened and just smiled.

Isabella came over and asked Maggie to play games with her.

Maggie looked at her and said, “Are you sure?”

She felt that Isabella might agree easily now, but in two or three days, she might regret it and want to go back to Franklin and Julia.

Isabella didn’t react at first.

Two seconds later, she realized what Maggie meant and said; “Of course, I’ve already promised Grandma.”
