Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157 

Franklin stood just slightly ahead of her. Maggie actually noticed his figure, but she was focused on the game and didn’t look at him. 

She heard Isabella’s voice and then heard Franklin’s voice from the side: “Don’t look around. Stay in sync with your mom.” 

Isabella responded, “Got it.” 

Earlier, when Maggie was recording a video for Franklin and Isabella, she stood still and filmed. She didn’t follow their pace in the game. 

But now, when Franklin was filming them, he was moving with their steps, walking backward while filming. 

After a few rounds, the game ended. 

Isabella ran over to Franklin. “Daddy, this game is so fun. Let’s find a chance to play again, okay?” 

Franklin smiled, “Okay.” 

Maggie walked back and took her bag from him. 

Just then, she heard the notification sound from her phone in her bag. 

Maggie took her phone out, and realized that Franklin had sent her a video. 

She saw it but didn’t click on it. 

Isabella, however, leaned over to Franklin, eager to watch the video he had just recorded. 

Franklin handed the phone to her, then twisted open a bottle of water and handed it to Maggie. 

Maggie took it, “Thanks.” 

She was indeed a bit thirsty and had been wanting to drink. 

She took a couple of sips, then screwed the cap back on. Franklin asked, “What’s the next game?” 

Maggie didn’t believe he would forget after reviewing the schedule, but…

oking at the water bottle in her hand, she hesitated. 

cepting help made her feel indebted. 

She thought for a moment and replied, “Little Ants Carrying the Ball.” 

Franklin asked again, “You or I?” 

Maggie looked at Isabella. “Isabella, you decide.” 

“Daddy,” Isabella said. “Mom doesn’t know how to play basketball, but Daddy plays very well.” 

Maggie could play basketball, but she didn’t say that out loud. 

Since Isabella had made her decision, Maggie said, “You do it.” 

“Okay,” Franklin replied. 

The sun was growing stronger, and the temperature outside had risen. Franklin took off his black long 

coat and handed it to her. “Hold this for me.” 

Maggie: “…” 

She took it and placed it on the grass beside her. 

Franklin: “…”

He raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything. 

Just before the game began, he suddenly said to her, “When filming the video later, keep up with the pace 

and don’t stand still.” 

Maggie: “…Got it.” 

The rules of the “Little Ant Dribbling” game: Parents start by pulling a rope in a circle while dribbling the 

ball within the circle. 

When reaching the end point and turning back, the child pulls the rope while the parent dribbles the ball. The ball cannot leave the confines of the rope during the entire round. 

When she played basketball or volleyball with Isabella in the past, she had been the one to teach her. 

However, at that time, Isabella wasn’t very interested. She might have been too young to remember.

Now, whether it was because the school taught her or because Franklin had taught her, Isabella was extremely skilled at dribbling as the game began. 

Franklin, pulling the rope backward, was perfectly in sync with Isabella’s dribbling pace. 

Thus, they smoothly completed the first round of the game. 

The return leg was even easier. 

Isabella had said that Franklin was very good at basketball. 

And that was true. 

He held the ball and skillfully spun it between his hands. 

With his sleeves slightly rolled up, he moved with ease, gracefully keeping up with Isabella’s pace. Maggie heard an admiring exclamation from around them: “So handsome.” 

Maggie, recording the video, held her phone steady. 

However, as he dribbled, memories of when he used to play basketball on the school grounds suddenly flooded her mind. 

A few months ago, when she occasionally thought back to those days, his image and face were still very clear in her mind.
