Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time (by Zora Pradeep) novel Chapter 443

Chapter 443

Maggie, Jimmy, and Glen had all prepared ahead of time; their tables were piled high with premium ingredients.

Salads, wine and champagne, pastries, specialty drinks–everything laid out on picnic blankets gave their corner real alfresco charm.

As they finished arranging things, Jimmy looked over the steaks, lamb chops, and seafood he’d brought. “Do you eat spicy? These marbled lamb chops were flown in last night–I tried them before. Excellent breed-”

He didn’t finish. Glen walked up, handed Maggie a drink, and neatly cut in. “This one’s custom made. It’s good–want to try?”

With the cup already at her hand, Maggie took it. “Thanks.”

She couldn’t ignore Jimmy either; turning back, she said, “I can do spicy. No real dietary restrictions.”

Jimmy smiled. “Great.”

Maggie sipped the drink, pleasantly surprised by the balanced blueberry flavor–bright, clean, and expertly handled. “Delicious. I really like it. Thanks.”

Glen had worked closely with Maggie for months; he knew her palate well. He’d asked someone to develop this recipe to her taste.

Hearing her praise, his smile deepened. “I’m glad. I had a few variations made–there’s a raspberry one too. Want to try it later?”

“Sure,” Maggie said.

She glanced up to find Jessica waggling her brows at her.

Stifling a laugh, Jessica murmured to Johnny, “Good thing I came. This is already better than the meteor shower.”

Johnny didn’t answer–he was frowning.

“What?” Jessica asked.

Staring at Maggie flanked by Jimmy and Glen, Johnny looked genuinely thrown. “So…Glen’s into Maggie too?”

“You didn’t know?”

“I didn’t.”

He was just realizing it now. Suddenly, it clicked why Glen had suggested this camping trip at all–he had a target, and it was Maggie.

Jessica:“…”

She glanced over again and muttered, “Maggie probably didn’t pick up on it before either. Not sure about now…”

Jimmy and Glen knew their limits and didn’t want to make Maggie uncomfortable.

After confirming her preferences, they walked over to Jessica and Johnny.

“Mr. Gray, Miss White,” Jimmy said first, “try my grilling later? I can’t cook much, but barbecue’s my thing.”

“Gladly,” Jessica grinned. “We’ll count on you, Mr. Hall.”

Johnny nodded. “Appreciate it.”
