As midnight approached. Maggie began to feel sleepy. She put down her book, turned off her bedsidemp, andy down, ready to sleep.
She thought she might have trouble falling asleep, since it had been a long time since she had shared a bed with Franklin.
However, she then realized that once Franklin finished his work, he might go out to be with Julia. He wasn''t necessarily going to stay here overnight.
With this thought, she drifted off, unknowingly falling asleep amidst the rhythmic sound of his typing,
She slept soundly, feeling the warmth of the covers. It was incrediblyfortable.
Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly felt a warm breath on her ear.
And it seemed like she was holding
someone..
When she realized what was happening, her body stiffened, and her consciousness instantly snapped awake.
She opened her eyes and saw that she was lying on her side, in Franklin''s embrace.
He had both arms wrapped around her, and his legs were entangled with hers, sleeping deeply.
The two of them were so close, there was almost no space between them
Maggie could clearly feel the warmth of his chest and hands....
She was sure that she had been sleeping quite peacefully the previous night.
Before falling asleep, she had intentionally turned to lie on the edge of the bed, thinking that even if she ended up in the same bed with Franklin, there would be arge gap between them, and they wouldn''t touch. So, how did they end up this way?
Unless....
Unless Franklin had already grown used to sleeping with Julia in a hugging way during the nights. Last night, in his drowsiness, he must have mistaken her for Julia and pulled her into his arms....
As she thought of this, Maggie pulled her hand away from Franklin''s chest, slowly clenching it into a fist.
She moved slightly, trying to extricate herself from his embrace.
Perhaps her movement startled him, as Maggie felt his arms tighten around her slightly, pulling her back into his embrace.
Maggie froze for a moment. Just then, a kissnded on her forehead, and he whispered, "Sleep a little longer."
her.
Maggie knew that those words weren''t meant for h

Mr. CEO. Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time
After all, they had been married for so many years, and Franklin had never held her like this while sleeping. As for a good morning kiss. that was even more impossible. Maggie was certain that Franklin had mistaken her for Julin.
She bit her lip, her eyes slowly reddening with suppressed emotions.
Franklin did not wake up.
Maggie looked at him, suppressing the bitterness in her heart. After taking a deep breath, she slowly pulled away and extricated herself from his arms.
They were so close that even a slight movement would inevitably disturb him.
Sure enough, just as she removed his hand from her waist and was about to pull her legs out from under his, Franklin woke
1. up.
Their eyes met.
As Franklin came to his senses and realized the situation, he must have realized he had embraced the wrong person. He paused for a moment and then released his legs from around her. Maggie quickly retracted her legs, turned over, and without looking at him, moved to the edge of the bed, put on her slippers and went to the bathroom.
When she came out of the bathroom, there was no sign of Franklin in the room.
As she stepped out of the room, she noticed that Franklin, still in his sleepwear, was talking on the phone at the end of the corridor.
Maggie took a nce but quickly averted her gaze and went downstairs.
Grandma Wilson had already woken up.
After a while, Isabe came downstairs as well.
Grandma Wilson smiled, "Since everyone is awake, let''s have breakfast."
Isabe cheerfully replied, "Okay!"
As soon as Isabe finished speaking. Franklin also came downstairs and sat down next to Maggie.
Remembering what had happened that morning, Maggie shifted a little in her seat, creating a bit more distance between then
As Isabe ate her noodles, she looked at Franklin, and as if recalling something, she blinked her pretty eyes and asked, "Doe Daddy like to sleep with Mommy, too?" Maggie, who was drinking her soup noodles, nearly choked.
Franklin didn''t respond.
Maggie''s face had already turned red from the earlier choking, and now she felt even more awkward. Her expression became
Mr. CEO. Your''
Divorce for a Long Time
unnatural.
Grandma Wilson, however, was quite happy to hear this, "Oh? Why do you say that, Isabe?"
"Just now when I woke up, I went to Mommy''s room to find her, and I saw that Mommy was being hugged by Daddy-
Grandma Wilson chuckled, suddenly understanding, and teasingly looked at Maggie and Franklin.
Franklin remained silent.
Maggie''s face became even more unnatural.
She knew that the person Franklin wanted to embrace was not her.
At that moment, her phone rang.
It was a call from Grandma Miller.
Maggie answered, "Grandma."
