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

Chapter 563

---- Chapter 435 Days passed after Maggie's message-Franklin never replied. Instead, Isabella contacted her

twice. On Friday evening, Maggie took Isabella out for dinner and a treasure hunt game. Afterward, when Isabella

said she wanted boha tea, Maggie ordered one and was just about to hand it to her when she saw Franklin in the

distance-walking straight toward them. Maggie froze. Franklin met her gaze and smiled faintly. Isabella spotted

him too-but her face showed no surprise, as if she'd known he would come. She waved excitedly. "Daddy, over

here!" ---- Franklin walked over.

Isabella shook her cup at him. "Daddy, do you want some?" He chuckled and ruffled her hair. "Daddy's not

thirsty." "Okay!" Isabella said cheerfully and went back to sipping her drink. Then Franklin's gaze returned to

Maggie. "Just got off the plane." Maggie blinked. She hadn't asked. Still, with Isabella there, she simply said,

"Mm." She didn't look at him, instead lowering her head toward Isabella. "Isabella, it's getting late. Maybe we

should-" But Isabella's attention had already been caught by something else. "Mommy, look!

Someone's playing drums over there!" ---- Before Maggie could reply, the girl ran toward the sound. The "drum

show" was actually a music stupromoting its drum classes-inviting kids to cup and perform to attract

students. Several children about Isabella's age were already taking turns on stage, drumming skillfully along to

upbeat music. The crowd was growing. Isabella, though she'd never played, found it cool and squeezed forward

to watch. Maggie hurried after her, afraid she'd get lost in the crowd. Franklin followed at an easy pace, watching

the two of them.

When Maggie reached Isabella's side, he cto stand beside her. Maggie noticed his presence but said

nothing. Isabella held Maggie's hand, eyes sparkling as she ---- watched. Maggie, hearing the lively rhythm and

seeing the confident children, couldn't help smiling herself. Then, suddenly, a child bumped into her. She lost her

balance and was about to fall when Franklin reached out, steadying her by the waist. Maggie exhaled in relief. "...

Thanks." Franklin smiled but said nothing. A second later, he released her and stepped back.

Noticing sboba on her hand, he offered her his handkerchief. Maggie shook her head. "Thanks, but I'm fine."

She had tissues in her bag. Franklin didn't press it and tucked the handkerchief away. ---- "Been busy these

days?" he asked casually. "...Not too bad," she said. Just then, Sophia happened to cout of the upstairs

cinema. Waiting for her own boba order, she glanced sideways-and froze when she saw Franklin and Maggie

standing side by side in the crowd.
