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

Chapter 223

Not long after returning to the company, Maggie’s phone rang.

When she saw who was calling, she paused for a moment before quickly answering, “Grandfather Yves.”

Grandfather Yves, along with Old Master Wilson and her own grandfather, had been close friends for many years.

Since moving to the capital, her grandfather and Grandfather Yves often brought her along when they

met.

She could be said to have grown up under Grandfather Yves’s watch.

Grandfather Yves had poor health and had gone abroad to recuperate a few years ago. He hadn’t returned since then.

On the other end of the line, Grandfather Yves’s cheerful voice came through. “Grandfather Yves’s back in the country. Maggie, will you come and have a meal with this old man on the weekend?”

Maggie immediately agreed. “Sure!”

Grandfather Yves laughed and added, “By the way, remember to bring Franklin along.”

Maggie’s smile faltered for a moment. Before she could respond, Grandfather Yves had already hung up, as guests had arrived to visit him.

Maggie held her phone and hesitated for a moment before sending a message to Franklin.

[Grandfather Yves wants us to visit him this weekend.]

After sending the message, Maggie put her phone aside and continued with her work.

The next morning, just after arriving at the company, her phone rang again.

It was a message from Franklin.

[Okay.]

He was replying to the message she had sent yesterday afternoon.

Maggie was about to put down her phone when another message from him came in.

[Saturday or Sunday? Morning or afternoon? No specific time?]

Before she had time to respond, a third message popped up.

[Could you call Grandfather Yves to confirm the time?]

Maggie didn’t reply immediately but called Grandfather Yves to confirm the time. After hanging up, she sent the specific details to Franklin.

Franklin replied quickly this time.

[Okay, I got it.]

Saturday morning.

Maggie drove to Grandfather Yves’s old residence.

Most of the Yves family were abroad, so when Maggie arrived at the old residence, besides a few servants, Grandfather Yves was the only one there. noveldrama

When he found out she had arrived, Grandfather Yves personally came out to greet her. “Our Maggie is here?”

“Mm,” Maggie smiled, relieved to see that he seemed in good spirits. But she couldn’t help but say, “You’ve lost quite a bit of weight.”

Grandfather Yves laughed. “Yes, I’ve lost some weight, but I’m still doing well. Don’t worry.”

Maggie and Grandfather Yves entered the house.

Grandfather Yves invited her to drink tea.

Not seeing Franklin, he didn’t ask any questions. Maggie understood immediately that he must have

known about the divorce and her situation with Franklin.

Grandfather Yves didn’t bring up Franklin, nor did he mention Isabella. It seemed that he knew not only about the divorce but also that the custody of Isabella wasn’t with her.

Since he didn’t ask, Maggie didn’t bring it up either.

They chatted while drinking tea, and about twenty minutes later, one of the servants came in and said

there were guests.

Grandfather Yves didn’t say anything, signaling that he had no intention of going out to greet them.

Grandfather Yves then offered Maggie some pastries, which she took and nibbled on.

At that moment, the voice of the butler came from the side door. “Young Master Wilson, please come in.”

Grandfather Yves glanced over, but after just a brief glance, his expression darkened.

Maggie tensed up, and the sound of high heels confirmed her suspicion.

She tilted her head slightly, and Franklin and Julia’s figures came into view.

Franklin and Julia both saw him.

Franklín only glanced at Maggie before turning his attention away and called out to Grandfather Yves,

“Grandfather Yves.”

Grandfather Yves snorted and didn’t respond. Franklin introduced, “Grandfather Yves, this is Julia.”

Julia completely ignored Maggie’s presence.

After Franklin finished speaking, Julia smiled politely and greeted Grandfather Yves. “Hello, Grandfather

Yves.”

Since Grandfather Yves already knew about the divorce between Maggie and Franklin, he was aware of their relationship and Julia’s involvement.

He truly hadn’t expected Franklin to bring Julia directly to meet him.

Grandfather Yves sneered and said, “I don’t have a granddaughter like you, so don’t call me that.”

“Grandfather Yves,” Franklin called again, clearly displeased by Grandfather Yves’s attitude toward Julia.

Grandfather Yves kept a cold face, saying nothing.

Franklin, who was very familiar with the Wilson family’s old residence, didn’t mind the cold reception. He and Julia casually walked to the other side of the sofa and sat down.

Only a few days ago, Franklin had brought Julia back to the old residence. Now, he couldn’t even wait to bring her to meet other important people?

Maggie thought about this, then turned her attention back to her tea.

It seemed that Franklin was treating this as if it were his own home,

Grandfather Yves ignored him and Julia, and Franklin, not caring at all, served tea for both himself and

julia,

Grandfather Yves frowned and slapped his hand. “Don’t touch the tea I brewed!”

Franklin laughed. “Then should I brew it myself?”

Grandfather Yves was really angry,

He ignored Franklin and looked at Maggie, “Come on, Maggie, let’s go out for a meal.”

Maggie put down her teacup, stood up, and replied, “Okay,”

With that, Grandfather Yves didn’t spare another glance at Franklin and walked out with Maggie.

Franklin remained seated on the sofa, calmly sipping his tea. He neither followed them nor tried to stop them from leaving.

Julia looked at Maggie and Grandfather Yves’s departing figures. “This…”

Franklin replied, “It’s fine. In time, everything will be okay.”

So, he meant that, with time, Grandfather Yves would accept the situation and gradually begin to accept

her, right?
