"Mm."


    Maggie entered the room first, and when Franklin followed, she said, "Close the door."


    She didn''t want their argument, if it came to that, to disturb Isabe.


    Come to think of it, though they had been married for many years, their rtionship was far from good, yet they had never


    d a loud argument.


    Franklin had always been too indifferent to engage in such a thing, let alone argue with her.


    As for her, she treasured every moment with him, and she couldn''t bear the thought of fighting with him.


    Franklin casually closed the door, then looked at her and asked, "What are we talking about?"


    Maggie got straight to the point: "Julia''s uncle bought the vi across from my uncle''s house. They''ve been renovating it for some time now, and it''s likely they''ll move in soon." Julia''s mother was surnamed Green, named Janice Green.


    But theplicated history between the Miller family and the Green family didn''t start with Janice and her mother, Sally Miller.


    It started long ago, between their grandmothers, when they were young.


    They had once been close friends.


    However, Julia''s grandmother had a difficult marriage and a hard life. Maggie''s grandmother often helped her, andter their granddaughters-Sally and Janice-also became good friends.


    The Miller and Green families were well matched, and Logan and Sally had a love marriage. They had a good rtionship at first, but things began to change after Sally returned from university.


    In order to help Sally rise in status. Julia''s grandmother''s family had already torn their ties with Maggie''s family.


    Over the years, whenever they ran into each other outside, the Green family had adopted a condescending attitude towards her uncle and grandmother, with no trace of the humility and sincerity they had once shown when seeking refuge with her grandmother.


    Theplicated rtionships between the Miller, Brown, and Green families had been ongoing for years. Even though she hadn''t gone into detail, Maggie believed Franklin would know all about it.


    And she believed that by now, he understood what she meant.


    Franklin did understand.


    He pulled out a cigarette, paused as if thinking, and then asked her, "Do you want me to make them move out?"


    16:39


    Mr. CDD, Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time


    "Yes."


    Tranklin took a drag from his cigarette but didn''t speak right away.


    This matter was especially important to Maggie. There were other things she could ignore, but not this one.


    Her hands clenched into fists, her eyes reddened as she looked at him, her voice trembling as she said, "Please, just agree Whatever condition it is, I will-


    Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly heard him say, "Okay."


    froze for a moment.


    She hadn''t expected him to agree so decisively.


    Her tears welled up in her eyes as her mind momentarily nked out.


    But she quickly regained herposure, hurriedly saying. "Thank you, then you-"


    Before she could finish asking about the conditions, Franklin suddenly moved his cigarette away and gently wiped away the tear that had slid down her cheek, saying. "Get some rest." Maggie was stunned, watching his retreating figure. For a moment, she forgot how to react.


    By the time she snapped out of it, she found herself unsure of what to do next.


    Franklin had told her to rest early. Was that his way of suggesting she stay here for the night?


    Though she had moved out, they hadn''t officially divorced, so staying for one night wasn''t such a big deal.


    But if she stayed in the master bedroom.


    She hesitated.


    After calming herself down, she took her things, packed a change of clothes and some toiletries, and headed to Isabe''s room.


    That night, she slept in Isabe''s room.


    The next morning, she woke up


    before 7 a.m.


    After lying awake for a while, Isabe also woke up and clung to her neck, yfully asking if Maggle could take her to school Maggie agreed.


    After washing up, they went downstairs for breakfast.

    Isabe greeted him cheerfully, "Good morning, Dad!"


    "Good morning," Franklin replied, ncing at Maggie without speaking, before sitting down and quietly starting his breakfast.
