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

Chapter 473

---- "Understood." Before he could say anything else, she ended the call. She rubbed her temples, barely having

a moment to collect herself before the phone rang again. This time, it wasn't Franklin-it was Jimmy. Her frown

deepened. She knew she'd likely be seeing more of him in the future, especially at the tech base. They wouldn't

exactly run into each other daily, but they'd definitely cross paths now and then. She had a good impression of

Jimmy, but at the moment...

she really wasn't in the right mindset. If she picked up, she'd be giving him hope. But if she didn't-it felt rude.

After hesitating for a while, she finally answered. "Hello?" ---- Jimmy's voice was gentle and easy on the ears:

"Busy?" Maggie replied, "Kind of." He seemed to sense the trouble in her voice and chuckled. "Tm not on break

yet. Just happened to have a moment today and thought I'd call. Even if my call troubles you a little...

I'm afraid | won't stop." Maggie: "..." Before she could respond, he asked, "How've you been? Still working a lot?"

"Yes. Very busy." "And the divorce?" Though he cared about how she was doing, he was also clearly concerned

Once I'm free-" Before he could finish, Maggie cut in calmly, "It was supposed to be tomorrow, yes. But it's been

delayed." Jimmy's smile faltered slightly. After a moment's pause, he asked, "Mind if | ask why? Was it on your

end, o "He's abroad. Won't make it back in time." ---- "So once he returns, you two will go finalize it right away?"

Maggie: "...Yes." Good. That's what he hoped. In fact, he was hoping that by the the had his next break, the

divorce would already be finalized.

But he didn't say that out loud. Just then, Maggie spoke again: "Mr, Hall, the reason | picked up your call today

was actually because | wanted to say-" He interrupted gently, "I know. You picked up not because you feel

anything for me, but because it felt too rude not to. And now you want to take the opportunity to make that clear

again. | know." Maggie: "You-" "Lknow," he repeated, smiling. ---- Her frankness, her honesty-he found them

endearing. "But my stance won't change," he said warmly.
