Chapter 198
She lowered her head and looked at the pattern on the table. She said, “I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.”
Maxwell looked down at her.
He wanted to tell her that next, he was going to do something alone, without her by his side.
But he didn’t know how to say it.
She was still mad, didn’t even want to give a nice face.
Forget it.
Maxwell looked away and said, “I went to see Alfonso today.”
Stephanie’s hand paused for a second.
She looked up and looked at Maxwell.
“It’s been five years. He seemed to be doing fine in there,” Maxwell went on. “He even asked me about you.”
“How did you answer?” Stephanie said, trying to hold back.
“I said, you were great, and also, we were getting divorced.” Maxwell answered.
“And then?” Stephanie asked.
“Then he just started laughing,” Maxwell said.
Stephanie gave a mocking laugh.

Put down the utensils, picked up the cup nearby, looked at the sea outside the window, and took a sip.

He said, “Remember? Five years ago, the day he lost the case and went to jail, we came here, this was the restaurant.”
The wind blew, there were tiny ripples on the sea, and Stephanie just looked at the ocean.
How could she not remember?
It’s been five years.

But later, I gradually stopped caring.
“Stephanie, you thought I didn’t know?”
“Mr. Humphrey didn’t even like you at all, he was just messing around with you.”

“Starting this month, give me money every month!”
One humiliation after another, asking for money and stuff again and again, and it just got worse.
Until that day five years ago, it was raining. She dropped by to see her mother, only went in after making sure Alfonso wasn’t home, but her mother wasn’t there either.
Then, Alfonso, who had drunk a lot, came back from outside.
She saw things were going south and wanted to leave, but he caught her.
He asked her for money, but the money from selling her songs was still being processed and hadn’t arrived yet.
“Weren’t you with Mr. Humphrey? Didn’t you say he liked you? Tell him to transfer you money, now!”
“Alfonso, I told you, I wasn’t gonna ask him for money for you. Money, I would earn. You wait… ah!”
