The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 5

She looked at Stephanie, feeling sorry for her.

They grew up together, and she knew how heartbroken Stephanie was.

Holding Stephanie’s hand, she said, “Wait for me. I’ll get off work at noon. Then we’ll come back together.”

Stephanie nodded.

Then she walked out of the office and waited for McKayla in the hallway.

She looked down at her lower abdomen, thinking, “Signs of potential miscarriage?

“Is the baby leaving me because it knows what I’m gonna do?”

Pursing her lips slightly, she went to take the tests.

Just then, her phone buzzed.

It was a notification from the bank.

She had obtained a new bank card recently to keep her money separate from Maxwell’s during the cooling–off period.

Before marrying Maxwell, Stephanie had been a behind–the–scenes musician.

She had always loved music. When Elliot was still alive, she had been the treasured daughter of the Shelton family with everything within reach, so her talents had been cultivated.

Later, those massive changes in her life led her to profound understandings of life.

Maybe Elliot had never thought that after his death, her hobby had actually become her livelihood.

After pondering for a while, Stephanie replied, “Checked. Thank you.”

The person immediately texted her back, “You earned it. Seriously, you’ve created quite a few hit songs over the years. Are you sure you don’t want a comeback? A reality show that’s been trending these days is perfect for you. I’ve sent the details to your email. At least check it, alright? I’ve reserved a special contestant spot for you.”

She checked the email and saw that it was a music competition show with similar rules to the ones she used to watch. What distinguished it was its great focus on original work.

She replied, “Let me think about it.”

Then she put down her phone, feeling a slight ache in her lower abdomen.

She missed Elliot again.

It was the second time within a day.
