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

Chapter 15

Hearing Maggie speak this way now, Franklin was surprised. Still, he didn't dwell on it after all, it was a small matter, not worth obsessing over. "Understood. With that, he hung up. This time, Isabella knew who was on the other end of her father's call. "Was that Mom?" "Mmo Mom will be joining us at great grandmother's?" "Mm."

Upon hearing this, Isabella's brows furrowed reflexively before she could say anything, it wasn't that she didn't want to see her mother. Nor was it that she didn't miss her mother.

In fact, not only had it been a long time since she'd seen her mother, but her mother had also gone unprecedented more than half a month without contacting her. Now, thinking about her mother, she actually felt somewhat nostalgic.

But then she realized that if Mom could join them at the family estate tonight, it meant she would be returning from her business trip today - after returning to the country, she had only learned about her mother's business trip the morning after she woke up. When she found out her mother wasn't home, she had been especially happy. She wanted to spend more time with Aunt Julie during these days while her mother was away on business.

After all, once her mother returned from the trip, she wouldn't be able to see Aunt Julie often anymore. So, she had been hoping her mother would come home later rather than sooner.

But as for Aunt Julie's racing competition tomorrow night, she was determined to go no matter what.

it." Only after getting Tranklin's assurance did Isabella's mood Improve slightly.

A while later, Franklin finished breakfast and left.

When Maggie arrived at the company today, she didn't run into Franklin.

At noon, Franklin's grandmother called and asked her to join her for lunch at "Harris Garden." "Harris Garden" was located near the Franklin Group building, just a few minutes' walk from where Maggie worked.

As soon as Maggie left the company and reached the corner of "Harris Garden's" entrance, she heard someone say, "Franklin, if it weren't for your help just now, I might not have secured this contract even with all my efforts.

Thank you so much for this." That familiar voice - Maggie stopped in her tracks immediately.

Peering around slightly, she saw the profile of her biological father, Logan Brown, right before her.

At this moment, Franklin responded, "You're too kind, Uncle."
