The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 157

Chapter157

Stephanie drove to the restaurant and met Maxwell at the place they agreed on.

Maxwell frowned a little when he saw the dress she was wearing.

She didn’t wear the dress he got for her.

Stephanie took one look at Maxwell and knew what he was thinking.

She was wearing a dress borrowed from Jeremiah.

She didn’t want to have anything to do with Maxwell.

Stephanie didn’t want to explain much, and they went in together.

The temperature in the hall was just right, with soft yellow lights shining down, making people feel comfortable. Elegant piano music was playing, and lots of people in formal clothes were chatting quietly, holding wine glasses in their hands.

Because it was a wine tasting, the air was still filled with a strong smell of wine.

Wherever Maxwell went, he was the center of attention. Right now, as soon as he came in, countless people’s eyes were already on him.

The reporters were also taking pictures.

Soon, the news that Stephanie and Maxwell attended Estrella’s launch party together was everywhere.

After all, it had always been Maxwell and Roxanne together before, and this was the first time in so many days that the real couple showed

up together.

There were all kinds of stuff people said online.

“It was really rare, the two showed up together again.”

“What about Roxanne? Hasn’t Maxwell been with Roxanne all these days?”

“Hey, upstairs, did you even check what kind of event this was? This was Estrella’s welcome–back presentation, Estrella, the Humphrey family. Was it really okay to bring Roxanne over?”

“But didn’t Maxwell take Roxanne to the last charity dinner?”

“Oh, you guys just didn’t know. Roxanne wasn’t feeling well lately. She was busy with the ‘A Glimmer of Love‘ short drama. I heard she got sick again recently, so there’s no way she could’ve gone to that wine tasting.”

“Yeah, you gotta drink at a wine tasting. Roxanne had late–stage stomach cancer, and you wanted her to go? That’s a joke, right? You think she’s lived too long?”

“That made sense too.”

In the end, Roxanne’s fans forced a comeback for her.

“Stephanie just took advantage of a loophole, she was just someone with no bottom line, she could put up with anything for the Humphrey family’s wealth, I figured she was just waiting for Roxanne to be gone in over five months so she could keep muddling along.”

“Yeah, anyway, I just had to wait half a year and Roxanne would die on her own. She was still Mrs. Humphrey, so why not.”

“Yeah, the whole thing with Maxwell and Roxanne was all over the

place, and she still showed up with Maxwell. You could totally see how much she couldn’t let go of the Humphrey family’s money. So funny.”

“Max!” In the restaurant, Estrella saw the two of them and came out to greet them.

She raised her wine glass to Stephanie, but didn’t call her sister–in–law.

The waiter brought over a plate.

Stephanie and Maxwell each took a cup.

Because I was the youngest in the family, Maxwell and Estrella said a few words.

.. Yeah, Max, I’m gonna join the Humphrey Group later, so you better not treat me badly.” Estrella said with a big smile, glancing over at Stephanie.

Maxwell’s expression didn’t change, he just nodded.

“Have you decided? Are you taking over your dad’s stuff, or going to another department to get some experience?” Maxwell asked.

“I’ll tell you later.” Estrella said mysteriously.

After greeting Maxwell and the other person, Estrella went to talk to some other people.

Maxwell just took Stephanie to a quiet spot on the side.

When the two of them left, Estrella glanced at them, and something flashed in her eyes.

And Stephanie just sat on the couch with Maxwell.

But both of them were silent.
