Chapter 17
Chapter 17 The elderly lady frowned , Mag Moms here ? Isabella had just come down from the second floor in the elevator .
Seeing Maggie , she was quite happy , after all , she hadnt been in contact with her for over two weeks .
e interrupted the elderly lady and threw herself into Maggies arms , Mom ! Maggie paused , gently hugged her back with a soft mm , but said nothing more .
The elderly lady actually didnt want Maggie to leave Wilson Group .
However , seeing Isabella present , she didnt continue the previous topic , instead smiling and saying to Maggie , Mag , its been so long since Ive had tea made by you .
Would you make some for grandmother ? Having grown up at Grandmother Wilsons side , Maggie had developed a calm and patient nature from a young age .
With her natural talent and years of practice , her tea ceremony skills were quite good .
Of course , but its almost dinner time … Maria , who preferred coffee to tea and didnt like watching Maggies tea ceremony , cut in , Yes , wel start dinner soon when Frank and York return … Just as she finished speaking , Franklin arrived .
Upon entering , he first greeted the elderly lady and Stella .
Seeing Maggie , he glanced at her briefly before looking away , sitting down in a single chair far from her .
Seeing Franklin , Isabella immediately left Maggies embrace and ran to him , Dad ! Mm .
Franklin hugged her , looked around , and was about to speak when Maria arrived .
York was much younger than Maria and Franklin , not yet an adult .
With his sunny disposition , he bounded in , gracefully jumping over the sofa armrest to land smoothly on the seat .
Seeing everyone present , he smiled , Were you all waiting for me ? Maria playfully smacked his head , Yes , weve all been starving waiting for you ! While Franklin was reserved and rarely spoke , and Maria was hot tempered , York was the familys joy , particularly close to his parents .
Your Wife : Divorce for a Long Ti Chapter 17 Upon his arrival , even Stellas cold expression softened into a smile , and the elderly lady grew more cheerful .
Seeing it was getting late and everyone was hungry , she ordered dinner to be served .
With just nine people , they went to the small dining room .
The seating arrangement placed the elderly lady , Franklin , Isabella , and Maggie together .
The elderly lady smiled and beckoned to Isabella , Bella , switch seats with your father , let your parents sit together .
The elderly lady was always trying tirelessly to bring Maggie and Franklin closer .
Everyone else was used to this by now .
They all thought her efforts were futile .
After all , despite all her matchmaking attempts over the years , Franklins attitude toward Maggie hadnt changed one bit .
Knowing how useless these attempts were , Maria smiled sarcastically , not even bothering to get involved this time , and simply sat down wherever .
Though Franklin disliked his grandmothers arrangements , he wouldnt defy her on minor matters .
So he remained silent .
His silence meant tacit acceptance .
Maggie no longer felt joy at the elderly ladys matchmaking attempts .
Her expression remained neutral , though she smiled gently at the elderly lady and said , Its fine , Grandmother , lets stay as we are .
The elderly lady felt somewhat helpless , thinking Maggie was too passive , too accommodating with Franklin , wasting many opportunities over the years , which led to their lack of progress .
But since Maggie had spoken , she didnt insist .
As dinner formally began , everyone chatted while eating , creating a pleasant atmosphere .
Maggie rarely spoke , quietly eating with her head down .
It had been over ten minutes since Franklin arrived, and the married couple hadnt exchanged a single word .
They hadnt communicated at all .
This was normal for them as a couple .
Everyone was used to it and didnt find it unusual .
When Isabella wanted something to eat , while Maggie used to take care of her , she now habitually asked Franklin to help her .
However , when she wanted the large shrimp , she looked toward Maggie .
Because in the past , Mr.
Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time Chapter 17 Maggie would always peel shrimp for both her and Franklin .
Mom , I want to eat the large shrimp .
