Chapter 6
Chapter 6 Maggie didnt know about Franklins return .
Nobody had told her .
It had been half a month since she moved out of the villa .
During this time , she had gradually grown accustomed to and come to enjoy the quiet , leisurely life of living alone .
day was weekend , and she had slept in a bit .
After getting up and washing , she opened the curtains to find perfect sunshine outside .
She stretched , watered her plants , and was about to make herself a simple breakfast when the doorbell rang .
It was Mrs.
Smith from across the hall .
Maggie , hope I didnt disturb you ? Maggie replied gently : Not at all , I was already awake .
Thats good .
Smith warmly said : These are freshly made pies and pasta from our home this morning .
Brought some for you to try .
Thank you , this is too kind .
Its the least we could do .
If you hadnt saved our Tommy from that mad dog the other day , who knows what would have happened .
Weve been wanting to properly thank you , but my husband and I have been so busy with work , we couldnt find the time … we feel quite embarrassed … It was nothing , Mrs.
Smith , youre too kind .
After some more pleasantries , Mrs.
Smith left .
Back inside , Maggie ate breakfast while studying the algorithmic mechanism of an AI system shed been researching recently .
In the afternoon , a news notification about T Universitys centennial celebration popped up on her phone .
Maggie paused , checked the date , and realized it was indeed T Universitys birthday .
CEO , Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time Chapter 6 Checking online , she found several trending topics about #T University Centennial # .
The celebrations high publicity wasnt just because T University was the countrys top university , with every move closely watched , but also because this was its first centennial celebration .
As a result , an exceptional number of honorary alumni had been invited back for the ceremony .
These honorary alumni were prominent figures across various fields .
Aggie looked at the screen several times .
Her hands trembled holding the phone as she recognized several familiar faces in the footage .
Memories of her university days flooded back .
Her heart suddenly felt chaotic .
If she hadnt entered marriage right after completing her undergraduate degree , perhaps she too might have been among the honorary alumni invited back for todays ceremony ? Maggie closed her laptop and , after some hesitation , drove to T University .
It was already afternoon .
Many of the VIP guests invited to the ceremony had left .
Yet the campus was still crowded .
As she wandered aimlessly around campus , a familiar voice .
called out to her near the familiar laboratory building .
Mag ? Twenty minutes later , in a teahouse outside T University .
Johnny poured her a cup of tea : How have you been lately ? Maggie held the teacup , looking down with a faint smile : Quite well , just … preparing for divorce .
Johnny hadnt expected this answer , paused : Im sorry .
Its fine .
What are your plans now ? Would you consider coming back to the company ? Ive thought about it , but … Johnny didnt know her concerns but spoke earnestly : Mag , the company needs you .
Youre still a Mr.
Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for Long Time Chapter 6 shareholder , and I hope youll come back to take charge .
I … I … Looking at Johnnys serious expression , Maggie couldnt express her difficulties .
It wasnt that she didnt want to .
But Al development had advanced so rapidly .
Shed been away from the field for six years .
Even if she returned now , she feared she couldnt keep up with current developments , let alone lead the industry as she once had .
Though Johnny and Maggie had rarely met in recent years , even from their few encounters , he could see how far she had fallen from her former brilliant self .
Thinking of how Maggie used to be , Johnny never dreamed that the word insecurity would one day apply to her .
He didnt know much about Maggie and Franklins married life .
But he knew enough .
Though he had his suspicions , he didnt voice them , instead speaking earnestly : Its okay to fall behind temporarily .
Your ability and talent arent comparable to ordinary geniuses .
Mag , as long as you still want to walk this path , its not too late to start again .
Dont forget , you were the professors most satisfying student in his teaching career .
Maggie smiled at this : If the professor heard that , hed probably snort and say he was forced to pick the tallest among dwarfs .
