nule are


    The faint smile on Maggie''s face disappeared once more, reced by a look of indifference


    She paused for two to three seconds before answering the phone "Hello"


    On the other end, Isabe was speaking in a coquettish voice, "Mom, when are youing home


    Maggie didn''t answer immediately but asked, "What''s wrong?


    Ti so bored at home alone, can youe back and keep mepany?


    With her father not at home and Aunt julle also busy, the house was quiet, and she was feeling very lonely


    She suddenly missed the days when her mom would chat with her and gently listen to her talk about her favorite cartoons and figurines.


    So, she decided to call Maggie, hoping her mom woulde home and keep herpany.


    Maggle listened and replied calmly, "Mom has things to do, maybe next time.


    She was indeed her mother and should try her best to meet her needs.


    But she also had her own life.


    She was in a bad mood and needed some personal time.


    Isabe sounded a bit disappointed. "Okay"


    Then, I''ll hang up. If you need anything, just call me again." "Mm..."


    Isabe hung up the phone, feeling even more bored.


    At that moment, Franklin returned home. Seeing her looking like a wilted flower, he asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "I called Mom just now, hoping she''de home and keep mepany, but she said she had things to do..." She buried her face in a soft pillow, looking pitiful. "Mom''s been so busytely."


    Franklin made a sound of acknowledgment and sat down on the nearby sofa, picking up his phone to talk about work. He didn''tfort her, though.


    However, he didn''t go to his study to handle business but stayed there with her. Only when he stayed by her side did Isabe''s moid improve a little. She happily picked up her tablet and began ying her puzzle game again. On the other side.


    When Logan and the others returned, Logan asked, "Why were you gone so long?"


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


    Logan Pansed for a moment I ran into Mag"


    who


    Lauren Brown, wins was beautiful and married well, was a strong woman both in her husband''s family and the Brown fanlity.


    She had seen her niece in years, but her concern was not for her niece, Instead, she seemned more interested in another) matter: "Did you talk to her about Julie joining Cole


    Logan shook his head. "We talked a little, but she wouldn''t listen."


    gan set her coffee cups down and frowned. "Mag really. Although I understand that she''s upset about President Franklin being taken by Julie, we''ve all met him.


    He''s not the knad of man who would be tied to a woman like her, who has nothing to offer aside from her beauty. Even if Julie wasn''t in the picture, President Franklin would''ve eventually divorced her."


    To Logan. Maggie''s obstruction of julie joining Cole was simply driven by jealousy that Julie had taken Franklin from her.


    She believed Maggie was just a frivolous woman with no talents or education, causing trouble and making a fuss.


    She thought it wasughable, and it seemed likely that Franklin thought the same.


    It was a pity that Maggie didn''t realize this. Perhaps she was still pleased with herself for ruining Julia''s chances.


    Thinking about Julia''s talent andparing her to Maggie, Logan felt increasingly that there was noparison between the two.


    Logan sighed. "I know."


    He shared Lauren''s view.


    "But she won''t listen."


    "She''s just like her mother, stubborn."


    gan didn''t voice this out loud, as any mention of that person was ufortable.


    Logan


    "About the cuap..."


    ""Let''s wait


    until Julie returns to ask her about it."


    OH
