Chapter 88
Chapter 88 Maggie paused .
Was her grandmother implying that Franklin would also be coming home late tonight ? Grandma , Im sorry … Its fine .
But even if youre busy , dont forget to eat well , her grandmother said gently .
Thanks , Grandma .
After hanging up , her takeout arrived .
She ate quickly and then continued working until nearly 10 PM before leaving the office .
She hadnt driven herself today , so she had called the driver half an hour earlier to arrange a ride .
By the time she finished her work , the driver should have arrived .
When she got downstairs , she found that the driver was already waiting .
However , it wasnt the driver shed arranged with ; instead , it was Franklins driver .
And Franklin himself was sitting in the back seat .
Seeing her hesitate to get in , Franklin slowly rolled down the window and looked at her .
Grandma asked me to pick you up .
Maggie didnt say much , simply walked around and got into the car , sitting in the same spot she had occupied in the morning .
The car smoothly merged into the traffic .
The car quickly fell into a quiet stillness .
Franklin was focused on his phone , not paying attention to her .
Maggie , however , suddenly remembered something and asked , Did they agree ? She was asking about whether Julias uncle and the others had agreed not to move into the house across from her familys house .
When she had run into Julia at lunch , she had noticed that Julia didnt seem happy , so she guessed that they had agreed to it .
But what about everyone else ? Franklin didnt look up from his phone .
They agreed .
Then … Maggie hesitated for a moment before asking with more certainty , Can I buy that villa ? The one across from my uncles house ? She wanted to buy the villa to ensure no future problems .
Franklin paused , glancing at her briefly .
Maggie let out a quiet sigh of relief .
Thank you .
Mm , he responded indifferently .
L By the time they got home , Grandma hadnt gone to bed yet .
When she saw that Maggie had indeed returned in Franklins car , she finally felt reassured and went to her room to rest .

CEO , Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time Chapter na After going upstairs , Maggie called Jason to update him on the progress of things .
She had just finished that call when Jolinny called again .
Abouf half an hour later , after hanging up the phone with Johnny , she went back to her room and found that Franklin had already taken a shower .
He was now sitting by the bed , reading a book .
When she entered , Franklin glanced at her and , without saying a word , returned his attention to the book in his hands .
Maggie didnt say anything either .
She went to the bathroom to shower and do her skincare routine .
By the time she was done , it was already quite late , she looked over at Franklin , who was still reading .
he past , when Franklin was distant , she had gotten used to it .
So when they were alone together , she didnt feel too awkward .
Now that things between them were a bit more relaxed , she didnt know how to behave around him .
But she reminded herself that no matter what , their relationship wouldnt change fundamentally .
With that thought , she quietly got into bed and tried to sleep .
Just as she lay down , Franklin put down his book , turned off the lights , and got into bed .
It felt as though he had been waiting for her to get in bed so he could turn off the light .
Maggie paused , thinking perhaps she was overthinking it .
Her mind quickly calmed down , and not long after , she fell asleep .
The next day , Grandma once again asked if Franklin could drive Maggie to the office .
Maggie declined again , saying , Grandma , I have a social engagement today .
It will be inconvenient without a car .
Grandma furrowed her brow and glanced at Franklin .
She was hoping Franklin would be the one to offer to drive her .
However , Franklin silently ate his breakfast , not responding to Grandmas unspoken request .
Seeing this , Maggie lowered her head , not wanting to make things difficult .
Grandma , seeing that Franklin didnt offer , didnt insist .
She then remarked , Of course , Ill just let you take care of it .
Later that day , nothing particularly unusual happened .
Maggie stayed at the office , working overtime until nearly 9 PM , before driving herself home .
To her surprise , when she arrived home , she found that Franklin was already back .
He usually came home much later unless something special had happened .
Since Franklin wasnt in the bedroom , Maggie switched on the lights and put her bag aside .
She was about to go check on Isabella when she noticed a red folder on the vanity .
Maggie froze .
Although she and Franklin shared a bedroom , the left side of the bed was Franklins , and she never went over to that side unless necessary .
Likewise , the right side was hers , and Franklin also didnt cross into her area .
Their personal items wallets , watches , skincare products were neatly organized in their own designated spots .
Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time 0 % So , the yed folder certainly wasnt something Franklin had misplaced Maggie walked over to the vanity , and as she got closer , she realized that it was a property deed .
Her heart skipped a heat , and she quickly opened it .
Sure enough , it was the deed for the villa across from her uncles house , and under the ownership section , it listed only her name .
Before she could fully process it , Franklin came back into the room .
