Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time novel Chapter 441

No sooner had Levi sent the message than the system pinged:Harry had left the group.

Levi:…

He immediately dragged Harry back in.

I was kidding. Touchy, much?

Before Harry could respond, Levi kept going:

It’s your fault anyway. I said yesterday we were going out tonight to watch the meteor shower–none of you came. I’m here alone. Totally kills the mood.

Harry had indeed declined yesterday, saying he was busy.

Truth was, the moment Levi said Maggie was there, Harry’s composure cracked.

Staring at the chat, phone clenched in hand, he finally typed:

Send the location.

Levi had only been venting; he hadn’t expected Harry–or Franklin–to actually change plans.

Harry’s reply stunned him for half a second before he dropped the pin. Then, still not entirely convinced, he asked:

You’re really coming? Not messing with me?

Harry:

I’ll head out later.

Levi brightened.

Great. I’ll have someone pitch your tent first.

Harry:

Mm.

After sending it, Harry hesitated a beat, then @-mentioned Franklin:

Coming?

Levi @-ed Franklin too.

Franklin replied quickly.

No. Have fun.

Levi:

All right

Then Levi @ mentioned another quiet member–Julia:

98.0%

Chapter 441

You there yet?

Julia, after several seconds:

Almost there.

Yes–Franklin wasn’t coming, but she was.

She’d seen the messages the moment they came in–and read every word.

When Levi complained that Harry never showed up anymore, her eyes flashed with irony; learning Harry had changed his mind, she nearly laughed aloud.

No need to guess why Harry suddenly decided to come:Maggie.

Clearly, Franklin and Levi had no idea how Harry felt.

Franklin hadn’t changed his mind despite hearing Maggie was there–but Julia knew he really was swamped. If he weren’t, he-

–

Before long. Maggie and the others had their tents up.

Dusk was settling in.

Glen and Jimmy had helped a lot. Maggie said politely, “We’re doing a barbecue later–want to join?”

Glen was delighted. “Perfect. We brought some food too–just a little for two, honestly. More people better vibe.”

Jimmy added, “Thanks for having us.”

Glen shot him a frosty sidelong look, but said nothing.

As they started on dinner prep, Julia arrived.

Levi’s people had already set up her tent.

With her came Sophia and a few of Sophia’s friends.

Sophia, unaware that Maggie and Johnny were there, was in high spirits.

Julia, having learned yesterday that neither Franklin nor Harry would be joining, had little interest in the outing to begin with. She’d only come out to clear her head.

Thanks to the group chat drama, her mood–already bad–got worse.

Compared to Sophia’s excitement, Julia looked chilly and disengaged.

While Sophia laughed and grilled with her friends, Julia wandered aimlessly. A few minutes later, she spotted a familiar figure.

“Mr. Hall?” she said.
