The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19

But as his gaze fell upon her shoulder–length hair, her fashionable, tasteful outfit, and her pointy heels that accentuated her calves, he couldn’t connect her to any woman he had even seen.

All of a sudden, he felt so annoyed.

Because, for some reason, she reminded him of Stephanie.

The air was filled with the faint, unfamiliar scent of her perfume.

Maxwell told himself it was just his illusion.

He had just seen Stephanie the day before, and her appearance resurfaced in his mind.

She was so gentle, pristine, like a lily in full bloom.

The woman right in front of him was nothing like her.

“Maybe their temperaments are a bit similar because of their similar professions,” he thought.

With this, he let go.

“Roxanne has bought your song at a price you’re happy with,” he said coldly. “I hope you won’t give her a hard time again.”

Stephanie smiled, “Of course.

“You won’t hear another word from me when it comes to this song.”

“Alright.” He nodded, his gaze deepening. As if still worried, he coldly warned her again, “Remember what you said.”

She still smiled, saying nothing.

Then he left, as hurriedly as he had come here:

She watched as he walked to the other end of the hallway and helped Roxanne, who was standing at the door.

His movements were so gentle as if she were his precious treasure.

Then they left.

After several minutes, her phone buzzed.

She took it out and saw a message from Maxwell.

“I told Grandpa you didn’t come back yesterday because you weren’t feeling well. Come back with me this weekend.”

It was his order.

Staring at his message, she scoffed.

Instead of replying, she turned around and walked the other way.

Outside Conway Entertainment.

Maxwell had already helped Roxanne into the car.

After fastening her seatbelt, instead of starting the car right away, he checked his phone.

Stephanie still hadn’t replied to him.

Roxanne looked at him.

With slightly red eyes, she asked softly, “Max, are you … upset with

me?”

He looked up at her with a frown.

“Where’s that coming from?”

Smiling pitifully, she said after a pause, “Stephanie used to be a musician, right? I was just worried that you’d mind me for doing this.”

Instead of saying anything, Maxwell looked at her.

Honestly, he did mind it a little.

But Roxanne didn’t have much time left. Before that final day arrived, he’d do his best to give her whatever she wanted.

Roxanne saw through him. She sensibly lowered her head, looking even guiltier.

Neither of them said a word.

Amid the silence, the sound of him tapping the steering wheel somehow became deafening.

About a minute later, she said, “I … just want to walk the same journey she once took.

“I wanna know how it feels to be loved by you.”

She looked up at him, her eyes glistening with tears.
