Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time (by Zora Pradeep) novel Chapter 523

Chapter 523

For a moment. Yves and Rex both thought they’d misheard.

Even after it sank in, they still couldn’t quite believe it.

But Jimmy didn’t look like he was joking.

And with his personality, they both knew, this was not the kind of thing he’d joke about.

Yves swallowed nervously.

“So then… you…”

The woman was married.

What was he supposed to do with that? Was he really planning to get involved in someone else’s marriage?

Sure, with Jimmy’s status and charm, if he wanted to steal someone’s wife, it probably wouldn’t even be that hard…

but still-

“She’s getting divorced soon,” Jimmy said. Then, seeing their stunned reactions, he clarified,

“They were already planning to get divorced. I’m not the reason.”

Since it was Jimmy saying it, Yves and Rex naturally believed him. Hearing that, both of them finally exhaled.

Once the tension faded, Yves’s gossiping instincts immediately kicked back in.

“So who is she?”

All these years and Jimmy had never shown interest in any woman. Of course Yves was dying of curiosity.

To be fair, Rex was curious too.

Jimmy lowered his gaze, glanced at Rex almost imperceptibly, took a sip of his drink, and finally said,

“I’ll tell you when the time is right.”

Yves reacted instantly.

“So that means… Rex and I know her?”

Thinking of Maggie, Jimmy smiled faintly.

“You know her. But you’re probably not very close.”

Yves: “…”

Rex: “…”

They both knew her, but weren’t close?

That narrowed things down… but also somehow didn’t narrow anything down at all.

They thought about it for a long time, guessing one name after another, and Jimmy shook his head every single time. Eventually, he didn’t want them guessing anymore and smoothly changed the subject.

They hung out for a while longer, but no one drank too much. Near midnight, they were ready to leave.

On the way out, Yves leaned toward Rex and whispered,

“I don’t think Jimmy would lie about something like this. But when he said her divorce has nothing to do with him… I’m not entirely convinced. It could be that she’s the one lying to him.”

Rex understood exactly what he meant.

That possibility definitely existed.

With Jimmy’s looks, abilities, and background… very few women could really resist him.

Yves continued,

“And did you notice the way he looked when he talked about her? You could tell–he really, genuinely likes her.”

Rex had noticed too.

But this was Jimmy’s own business.

They didn’t have the right to interfere too much.

The next morning.

When Maggie arrived downstairs at her office building and stepped out of her car, she saw Jimmy getting out of a car not far away and walking

toward her.

Maggie stopped in her tracks.

Jimmy approached.

“Do you have time to grab lunch together?”

Maggie reflexively refused.

“Sorry, I-”

Of course she had time for lunch.
