CEO's Divorce Dilemma

Chapter 551

---- Chapter 423 Franklin had been busy lately. He had barely eaten when. another call came, and he stepped out

again. While he was outside, Julia seemed to think of something. "By the way, Isabella-school starts Monday. How

about Auntie takes you?" Isabella looked apologetic. "Sorry, Auntie Julia. | already asked Mommy to take me, and

she said yes." "I see," Julia said, and didn't insist. Sunday night, just as Maggie finished dinner and was about to

rest, Isabella called. As soon as Maggie picked up, Isabella chirped, "Mommy, tomorrow morning Daddy and | will

cto your place.

Then you and Daddy can taketo school together." ---- "Okay. Mommy knows." The next morning, Franklin and

Isabella arrived not long after Maggie finished breakfast. Maggie grabbed her car keys to head out, but Isabella

tugged her toward Franklin's car. "No time, Mommy--quick, get in!" "I still have to go back to the office later,"

Maggie said. "It'll be inconvenient without a car. I'll drive myself and meet you at the school-" "T'll take you to

Cole afterward," Franklin said. Maggie was about to refuse, but Isabella bounced, still pulling her along. "Yeah, let

Daddy take you!

Con, Mommy!" Maggie frowned slightly, hesitated a second, then got in. She was wearing a couture white

lace dress today, serene and elegant-perfectly suiting her temperament. After buckling in, Isabella couldn't help

gushing, ---- "Mommy, you look so pretty today!" Hearing that, Franklin glanced over twice as well. "Thank you,"

Maggie said evenly. He looked again, then asked, "What tis your meeting at Wilson Group this afternoon?"

"Three." "Needto send a car to pick you up?" Send a car? If she were seen getting into his, it could expose

their relationship.

Then again, given the joint project between their companies-and the recent increase in public interactions

between them-it wouldn't be hard to explain away if someone spotted her in a Wilson Group car. Regardless, she

didn't need him to go out of his way. "No need. | can take someone else's car," she said. "All right." ---- After that,

it was mostly Isabella and Maggie chatting; Franklin stayed quiet. At school, Franklin and Maggie walked Isabella

in together. Side by side, they made a striking pair and drew plenty of looks.

Seeing both "parents" dropping Isabella off, the teacher assumed their relationship had improved, and was

genuinely happy for Maggie. "Miss Miller, long tno see." "Long tno see," Maggie replied. They chatted

briefly, then, after sreminders to Isabella, Franklin and Maggie left. Once they were out of sight, Maggie

lowered her head to open a ride-hailing app.
