Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163 

Julia, who was dining next to him, asked, “Is there something with the company?” 

Franklin placed his phone back in his pocket and said, “No, it was a call from the auction house.” 

Julia smiled and was about to speak when Isabella interrupted, “What’s an auction house?” 

Franklin, slicing a piece of meat, replied, “It’s a place where you auction off items.” 

“Auction off items? What kind of items? Is it fun?” 

Julia laughed, “It can be pretty interesting. Haven’t you been there, Isabella?” 

Franklin shook her head, “No.” 

She asked again, “Do they have a lot of treasures there?” 

“Yes,” Franklin replied. 

“I want to see what that auction house looks like!” Isabella said eagerly. 

Julia laughed, “But the items there might not be to your liking.” 

“Oh…” 

Hearing that, Isabella immediately lost interest. 

Franklin said, “You can still come and have a look. You can help raise the bid cards.” 

“Raise the bid cards?” 

“Yes.” 

Franklin put down his knife and fork, picked up her tablet, and began explaining how auctions worked. 

Isabella listened for a while, and once she understood that raising a bid card was fun, she got excited. “I want to try! Dad, take me to play, okay?” 

“Alright, next time I have time, I’ll take you. You can buy all the things you like.”

“Okay!” 

Julia smiled and didn’t intervene further. 

The next day. 

Rex arrived at Wilson Tech early. 

When he got there, both Julia and Franklin were already present. 

Seeing Julia, Rex hesitated for a moment. “Miss Brown, you’re here too?” 

“I’m still handling the project I led before. I’ll continue taking care of it,” Julia explained. 

Rex smiled, “I see.” 

He had thought that after the new project at Wilson Group was handed over to her family, she would have returned to help her family. 

Franklin said, “Mr. Hardin, please have a seat.” 

Rex looked at Franklin, and the scene of him holding Maggie in the restaurant flashed in his mind. He paused for a moment before sitting down. 

For now, he set aside personal matters and began discussing work with Franklin. 

After a while, Julia 

left to handle other matters, but over an hour later, she returned to rest and have 

coffee prepared by Franklin’s secretary. 

Franklin was still talking to Rex when he received a phone call. 

He excused himself, went to answer the call, and left the room. 

Watching his back as he left, Rex couldn’t help but remember the image of Franklin holding Maggie… 

“Mr. Hardin, is there something you wanted to say to me?” 

Rex’s hesitation was quite obvious. 

He shook his head, “I just think that Mr. Wilson treats you very well.” 

That scene still confused him, and it didn’t seem right to bring it up directly.

After thinking it over, he decided it was better to keep quiet. 

Besides, whether it was Franklin picking up the abandoned projects at Wilson Tech to help her develop professionally, or him diligently introducing connections for her family, or even opening a new project for her at Wilson Group…. 

Franklin’s kindness to her was immeasurable. 

Rex could see it all. 

He felt that if it were him, he wouldn’t be able to treat her as well as that. 

There was no doubt about Franklin’s feelings for her. 

So, that scene was probably just a misunderstanding. 

On Friday morning, shortly after Maggie got out of bed, a phone call came from her grandmother, asking her to accompany her to the art exhibition of Master Hall on Sunday morning. 

Maggie’s grandmother was a loyal fan of Master Hall, a famous painting master. The last time Master Hall held an exhibition was more than ten years ago. The opportunity was rare, and Maggie agreed, “Okay, I’ll 

go with you on Sunday.” 

Just after hanging up, another call came from Isabella. This was the first time Isabella called since she attended the school’s parent–child event on Monday. Maggie didn’t pick up the phone.
