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

In Isabella’s case, she, Franklin, and Condecora stayed together.

When Isabella said, “You come with me to participate,” rather than responding positively, Maggie simply replied, “We’ll see.” Isabella understood this point all too well; she was aware of the situation.

Isabella had chosen her for an important event, but Maggie didn’t seem particularly happy about it. The competition would be the following weekend. Generally speaking, she was free on weekends. Besides, when a child has a competition, it’s a significant event for the family. Parents often prioritize their child's matters.

Maggie noticed her reaction. While she couldn’t claim to be entirely unaffected, she didn’t change her mind. She reached out, intending to rub Isabella’s head before leaving. However, as she stretched her hand out, Isabella turned her head, pouting and refusing to look at her.
