Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time novel Chapter 653

Chapter 653

When they were ordering. Daphne went ahead and picked out two or three dishes she knew Harry liked.

Harry’s voice was flat. Thanks for the thought, Miss Everly, but I’m not feeling any of those tonight. I’ll order for myself.”

Shot down like that, Daphne didn’t look embarrassed or discouraged in the slightest. She was about to try talking to Harry again when he turned to Franklin and steered the conversation himself “How come Isabella didn’t come tonight?”

Franklin said, “Isabella went to see her mom.”

Harry paused at that, gave a small nod, then smoothly launched into a conversation with Franklin about the current business climate at home

and abroad.

Anyone with eyes could see what he was doing. Whether it was asking about Isabella or pivoting to business talk, Harry was making sure Daphne couldn’t get a word in.

And the whole time, Harry looked at Franklin, looked at Levi, looked everywhere except at Daphne, who was sitting right next to him, close

enough to reach.

His rejection wasn’t subtle in the slightest.

Once it was that obvious, Levi stopped playing along to help Daphne out.

Throughout dinner, Daphne still managed to cut in and get a few words in with Harry here and there, but his attitude stayed ice cold every time.

After Harry made his position clear, Levi and Franklin both fell back with that look of respecting his wishes and staying out of whatever was going on between him and Daphne. Julia quietly dropped her gaze too.

The fact that Harry was being this blunt said everything. With Daphne, he wasn’t even willing to let her save face.

What Franklin and Levi didn’t know was that the reason Harry was shutting her down so completely had everything to do with Maggie

If they ever found out…

All things considered, the dinner vibe wasn’t bad overall.

After they ate, everyone went their separate ways.

Not long after, Harry tagged Julia in the group chat: Do me a favor and talk to your friend I’m not interested So gong forward, don? sel something like this up again

Julka naw the message almost the moment it came through

Her heart sank a little

If she remembered right, this was the first time Harry had ever tagged her directly in the group that at least since he d tallen M Maggie

She stared at the message phone night in her hand. After a long moment she typed back Okay Uwill in worry about tonight i should ve sanf something to you ahead of time Hut she really does like you, anul I just couldn’t bring myself to

They were in a group chat, and Franklin and Julia were close Harry and Franklin had been friends for years and always would be so even il Harry was quietly annoyed with Julia over tits, he kept it off the surface it’s fine

Honestly in the past. Harry probably would ve just Med Julia about something like this it was only a few Itnes
