The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168

Was he just bad at judging people, or did he really think she was that easy to fool?

Not wanting to deal with it anymore, Stephanie shook off Maxwell’s hand and walked into the hallway.

Maxwell also wanted to block her.

“Maxwell.” Stephanie couldn’t take it anymore. She stared hard at the man in front of her. “Since the night you brought up divorce, I haven’t bothered you.”

“It was you!”

Stephanie’s fists were clenched.

“It was you guys who kept hyping it up during our marriage, making everyone know about it. Didn’t you ever hear or see what others said about me?”

Looking at Maxwell’s furrowed brows, his dark eyes, and his silence, Stephanie smiled. She looked away, didn’t look at him again, and instead looked at the spider spinning a web at the corner of the hallway.

“I knew you cared about her, felt sorry for her, loved her deeply, you said she only had half a year left.”

“Then could I ask you guys to spend this last half year well and be a bit quieter?”

Stephanie said word by word:

“Let me go, okay?”

She didn’t want to be a part of their play.

Not at all!

After she finished talking, Stephanie left.

Maxwell wanted to reach out, but in the end, he still didn’t grab her again.

He let her go.

Watched her walk all the way to the elevator, the doors slowly closed, and she was gone.

Maxwell stood here alone for a long time.

Stephanie’s words kept echoing in his mind.

He came over because he wanted to explain things to Stephanie, but just a moment ago, he realized that all the explanations didn’t seem to matter at all.

Just because, before telling her the truth, before Roxanne passed away, any explanation was useless.

Maxwell clenched his fists, her warmth still lingering on his hands, but it felt like he could never hold on to her again.

He looked up and glanced at the spot she had just looked at.

The spider in the corner had already finished its web, and right now it was sitting in the middle of the web, waiting for prey to come.

Forget it.

He could understand she was mad today.

Let’s talk about it later when there’s a chance.

Maxwell looked away.

He closed his eyes and took a moment to calm himself.

When he opened his eyes again, he already looked calm.

Maxwell sat back in the Maybach, but he didn’t start the car.

He looked at the lights in the apartment upstairs that Stephanie rented.

He wanted to stay here.

Even if I did nothing.

After Stephanie took a bath, she lay down on the bed.

She knew Maxwell was still downstairs.

But she didn’t want to talk to him.

The night breeze was gentle.

The night just passed like that./

It had rained outside at some point, and the ground was all wet.

The next day, when Stephanie got up and looked downstairs again, she saw that the rain had stopped and the Maybach was already gone.

Only the dry patch on the wet ground was left, telling her that a car had stayed there last night.

That’s it.

Live well.

Time flew by.

Soon, “The Ethereal Voice” had its fourth livestream.

This was also the 27th day of Stephanie and Maxwell’s divorce cooling–off period.

Inside the studio, Maxwell still showed up.

Just like the last three times, sat in that spot.

And Lennon and Harrison and Daniella all came too.
