He just took one last look at Stephanie’s closed bedroom door at the entrance, then looked away and left the villa.

Stephanie didn’t relax until she saw Maxwell leave.
She rushed over and locked the door, then dragged the table over to block it. Only then did she sit weakly on the floor.
Stephanie held her collar tightly, Maxwell’s scent was still lingering on
She
She knew Maxwell was right, she couldn’t go back in her drunk state, so she had to stay here tonight.
Even though they were still legally married, even though they had spent countless passionate days and nights together, and even had two kids.
But he had Roxanne now, and now he went to Roxanne like he was on fire, and after that he would…
Even knowing all this, she still didn’t want to.
She didn’t want him a long time ago.

Maxwell walked all the way to the car, and as soon as he got into the driver’s seat, Edwin hurried over.
“Mr. Humphrey, Mr. Humphrey, where were you going?” Edwin said

anxiously. “Madam Humphrey specifically told me that Mr. Humphrey and Mrs. Humphrey should stay at the manor tonight.”
Maxwell paused for a moment and rolled down the window
Edwin’s wrinkled old face looked even more real.
“Some things.” Maxwell said, “I’ll come back tomorrow morning to have breakfast with Grandpa and Grandma.”
Edwin got even more anxious.

He lowered his eyes a little and didn’t answer.

Things were a mess.
My mind was a mess.
He couldn’t figure everything out.
Could only blindly try to solve some problems.
This was a situation that had never happened before.
When it came to the company, he always planned things well and made tough decisions, but this time, he just couldn’t do it.
It seemed like everything was slowly slipping out of his control.
All this made him feel scared.
Maxwell took a deep breath and made himself push those thoughts aside for a while.
Roxanne was really sick, he needed to go see a doctor.
Drove all the way to Roxanne’s place.
Parked the car, went upstairs, rang the doorbell.
Then, Roxanne opened the front door.
This was what Maxwell saw after he knocked on Roxanne’s door
Roxanne was just standing inside the door, wearing a camisole nightdress.
He frowned a little.
Roxanne seemed to know this wasn’t good, but she stubbornly kept

quiet and just looked down.
Finally, it was Maxwell who took off his coat and put it over her shoulders.
“Go in, it’s cold outside.” Maxwell said.
Roxanne finally nodded and went in with Maxwell.
Roxanne looked Maxwell up and down.
