Chapter206
He wanted to explain, but when he saw McKayla’s eyes red with anger, he realized explaining was useless.
Whether it was on purpose or not, in the end, he really did push.
Maxwell saw that day in front of him, when Stephanie stood pale to the side in the hospital hallway with bandages on her head, asking them what they were doing.
And after she fell down the stairs, she called out to him from behind-“Max.”
She seemed like she hadn’t called him that in a long time.
I felt dizzy.
What kept coming up was her smile, her tears, and that night when he said they should get a divorce, the way she stared at him in shock and asked, “What about me?“–those eyes.
“Bro, look, some people just made excuses for themselves and didn’t care about the real truth at all.”
“A ‘I didn’t mean to‘ and you just want to brush everything off? That’s way too easy!”
McKayla next to him was still making indirect jabs, but Maxwell acted like he couldn’t hear a thing.
He felt like all the air around him was sucked out.
There was a strong feeling of suffocation.
Stephanie’s thee kept appearing in front of Maxwell’s eyes.
1le saw again that day in the hospital, the bandage on her head.
“Luckily, it’s just a scratch…” he murmured softly.
Nothing had gotten to the point of no return yet, as long as he explained things to her later….
She should have forgiven him.
And McKayla just exploded.
“What do you mean just a scratch! Did you forget you pushed her?” McKayla got so mad she rushed over and was about to kick Maxwell.
“Did you know about her…”
“McKayla!” Patrick yanked McKayla back.
“Bro! You were actually gonna speak up for him too?” McKayla was about to explode.
She saw clearly what Stephanic looked like, all covered in blood!
“How has Steph been these days…” McKayla’s eyes were red, and there was a bit of crying in her voice.
But Patrick just shook his head and wouldn’t let her say anything more.
Maxwell on the side couldn’t hear what they were saying at all, because he saw Stephanie who just walked out of another office.
“They were already searching recently, but you still needed to be careful.”
“Well, I would, I…”
Stephanie was still talking to Gianna.
But the next moment, Maxwell showed up right next to them.
“We needed to talk.” Maxwell’s eyes were bloodshot, and he gripped Stephanie’s wrist tightly.
Gianna on the side saw this, looked at Maxwell, then looked at Stephanie.
If Stephanie didn’t want to, she would stop it.
“About the thing at 9 tomorrow.” Worried that Stephanie might say no, Maxwell kept talking.
Stephanie just found out what happened from McKayla and Gianna.
She thought there was nothing left to talk about with Maxwell, but then he mentioned 9 a.m. tomorrow.
That was the time they agreed to go get the divorce papers.
Stephanie’s right hand clenched, but she nodded in the end. “Okay.” she said.
Given the situation, if she didn’t make things clear to him, she was worried she wouldn’t get the divorce certificate tomorrow.
“The car was parked outside, go over there to talk,” Maxwell said.
Stephanic nodded.
This was the police station, she wasn’t afraid of anything.
Stephanic nodded and smiled at Gianna again, then left with Maxwell.
And then McKayla looked really anxious.
Patrick waved his hand and sad. “This as the police sainn. DaisyNovel wouldn’t do anything or
Me too
McKayla relaxed a fat the glared at Parack “We didn’t you let me koep talking? Was Maxwell even speaking human language? Innens
wanted to kill h
Patrick looked helplessly at his ser “If you keep talking pull end up telling about Stephanie’s mocarriage Stephanie wants to denoree Maxwell now If Maxwell finds out about es, do you think they can get divorced tomorrow?
McKayla didn’t think so.
I saw he loved Roxanne to the core, helped her with everything would he even care about this?”
Patrick shook his head, “I don’t think so
McKayla looked at Patrick strangely
Patrick didn’t explain much either
“In short, don’t make things more complicated. Patrick said.
McKayla finally nodded. “That’s fine too.”
After she finished speaking, McKayla looked up again and watched the two people slowly walking out over there.
“I just felt bad for Steph.”
McKayla murmured softly. “Seven years.”
Patrick nodded. Yeah, how many seven years can you have in a lifetime.
The other side.
Stephanie came outside with Maxwell.
The car stopped at the police station entrance.
Here were lush trees, and bits of moonlight came through the gaps in
the branches, bringing a bit of chill.
