His heart ached and he wanted to see what was wrong with her.
But Stephanie opened his hand and didn’t want him to touch him.
“He bullied you?” Maxwell asked worriedly, his eyes narrowing as he looked over at Lennon.
“No.” Stephanie took a step back, moving closer to Lennon. She said, “Maxwell, we’re already divorced. Don’t touch me.”
Seeing her subconscious actions, the way she didn’t hesitate to get close to Lennon, and what she said, Maxwell felt sad.
“Stephanie, don’t forget, your game with Roxanne was still on.” Maxwell said with red eyes, “The thing you wanted from the Shelton family was still with the Humphrey Group.”
Stephanie paused her steps a bit as she tried to go around. She looked up at Maxwell in front of her.
“I know,” Stephanie said. “If you weren’t blind, you should’ve noticed I’ve been trying really hard to win.”
Maxwell pressed his lips together, held back the sharp pain in his heart, and pointed at Lennon next to him.
“You wanted to win, so you went out with him?” he said, jealousy making his eyes red. “Is this how you won?”
“Maxwell, watch your mouth!” Lennon immediately stepped up to stand in front of Stephanie.

But Stephanie just waved her hand and told him she would handle it.
All these days, she never paid attention to Maxwell, put up with him until the cooling–off period was over, and got the divorce certificate.
Then up until now.
During this time, she thought her attitude and what she said were already very clear.
But he still didn’t seem to get it.
Since that was the case, she might as well make things clearer.
“Maxwell, please don’t insult me,” Stephanie said calmly. “I wanted to win the game with my own ability, not the way you think.”
They had known each other for years, spent many close days and nights together, and even went through life and death together. She didn’t know, was it just because he fell in love with a Roxanne that he became like this, so hateful?
Before Maxwell could speak, she spoke again.
“Then, I wanted to make things clear with you.”
“We got divorced a long time ago, and we didn’t have anything to do with each other anymore.”
Maxwell was so heartbroken he could hardly breathe, and the strong feeling of suffocation made his vision blur.
“Steph, what were you/talking about?” he said softly.
“Maxwell, I didn’t love you anymore.” she answered calmly.
When he heard this, it was like something exploded in Maxwell’s

head.
The love she said she had for him, which he once thought was solid and held tightly in his hand, was now denied by her herself.
His reason snapped, and he felt like nothing could be trusted.
“Stephanie, you did it on purpose,” he said. “Did you say these things on purpose just to piss me off?”
He was searching his mind for all the impossible evidence.
She did it to win?
Was it to make him feel bad?
Was she doing it on purpose because he was with Roxanne?
But all of this started to fall apart when he saw her calm eyes looking at him.
“I didn’t piss you off on purpose,” Stephanie said calmly. “I jus eally didn’t like you anymore.”
“You…”
“Maxwell, I’m not the kind of person who likes to look back,” she said. “The moment you chose Roxanne, we were already over. Getting the divorce papers was just a formality.‘
She didn’t deny she had loved him.
But now, in her heart, he was already gone.
“Maxwell.” She looked at him seriously for the last time, “We can’t go back anymore.”
“That’s about it.” Stephanie looked away. She lowered her eyes a little.

After she finished talking, Stephanie nodded at Lennon and headed to his Bentley.
But Maxwell grabbed her wrist again.
His eyes were rimmed red, and she could see the wetness in them.
“Stephanie,” he called her name.
“Are you lying to me?”
“We were together for so many years…

“So many ups and downs, we made it through.”
His brows were tightly furrowed, his lips a little pale, and there was even a hint of pleading in his voice.
“We went through life and death, you can’t…”
Stephanie wanted to shake off his hand, but he held on tight, she just couldn’t get free.
Looking at him like that, she felt he really didn’t have to.
In their relationship and marriage, he was clearly the one who cheated first.
“You want me to say what so you’ll believe me?” she said.
But he just looked at her with red eyes and wouldn’t let go.
“Okay,” she said.
Stephanie nodded and closed her eyes.

Just when Maxwell thought her attitude had changed, he saw her turn to look at Lennon, who had been protecting her all along.
“Back in that studio, you told me to think more.” She looked up at Lennon and said softly, “You said you didn’t want me to make a decision on impulse.”
Lennon frowned hard, his dark eyes staring at Stephanie in front of him.
“Lennon.”
She called his name.
“Mm.” he answered softly.
“I’ve made up my mind,” she said. “I agree. Let’s be together.”
It seemed like something broke apart.
Stephanie felt a sharp pain in her wrist, but she didn’t look back at Maxwell.
She just looked at Lennon in front of her.
There wasn’t any joy in his eyes, only worry–worry about her.
Stephanie knew he was worried she made this decision because she was mad at Maxwell.
But she would let him know, it wasn’t.
If she felt moved and touched in the studio room, then just now at the Wilkinson’s mansion for so long, it was enough to calm her down.
“Really,” she said, “I liked you, my heart beat for you.”
Before Lennon could say anything, she already took a step forward and

Stephanie reached out her other hand that wasn’t held by Maxwell, wrapped it around Lennon’s neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his lips.
She just gave a light kiss and pulled back, looking a little shy.
But Lennon’s body shook hard.
Right then, he reached out and grabbed her waist hard, pulling her tightly into his arms. His body heat came through his clothes, burning hot, like he wanted to melt her into himself.
On the other side, her other wrist was hurting because Maxwell was gripping it hard.
