The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149

Think about it, they’d only been married for a year.

That rushed but grand wedding a year ago still seemed so fresh in my mind.

Full of Haraville’s red, with white roses all around.

The priceless wedding dress on her.

He prepared all of it for her, and even though it wasn’t perfect because he was in a rush, he still did the best he could at the time.

At that time, he carried her out of the house and made a promise to be with her forever.

She remembered, back then there really was some liking for her in his

eyes.

But only a year had passed…

Even less than a year.

In their marriage, he was the first to cheat.

Forget it.

Stephanie looked away.

Seven years, admitting she loved the wrong person might have been hard, but once she saw it clearly, she didn’t look back.

Stephanie smiled and said to Jeremiah next to her, “And I always kept the evidence, so even if he changed his mind, I could still file for

divorce.”

Jeremiah looked at the smile on Stephanie’s face and nodded helplessly.

She was always like this, so strong it made people feel sorry for her.

The other side.

Aston Martin was heading toward Hill Villa.

On the way, Maxwell’s phone rang.

While waiting for the red light, he took a look–it was a special alert for the latest message from the Stephanie platform account.

Maxwell clicked open.

Stephanie: The recent rumors online about me and Jeremiah were all false. Jeremiah and I had been friends for many years. I used to be signed with Conway Entertainment. All our interactions were just normal work and friendship, nothing else. There were other people at the dinner today, it wasn’t just the two of us and a child alone. I hoped the media would stop spreading rumors.

The red light turned green.

Maxwell closed the page and kept driving.

This statement was still pretty vague, and it didn’t convince the media or him.

The anger didn’t go away.

She was acting weird lately.

He needed to go ask.

The scene where she cried and said no at Moon Manor came to my mind again.

Was it because she had a new crush, so she rejected him?

She used to really like it.

Many times she was tired, but as long as he coaxed her a bit, she would go along.

She never said no to him.

Except for last time.

Was it because of Jeremiah or Patrick?

Or was it someone else?

Maxwell gripped the steering wheel.

Aston Martin drove all the way to Hill Villa.

Maxwell parked the car, then just opened the door and walked into the house.

But as soon as he walked in the door, he found again that the house was all dark.

They didn’t even turn on the lamp in the entryway.

Maxwell frowned a little. He remembered the last time he came over, it seemed the same–all the lights weren’t on.

“Pop!”

He reached out and turned on all the lights, the house lit up, but it was

quiet.

Something was really off.

Last time he came over to get some supplements for his grandpa, he also dropped by, and it didn’t feel that different back then, but this time…

Maxwell pressed his lips together and walked all the way to the room.

There was no sign of Stephanie in the master bedroom.

There wasn’t even a sign that anyone had stayed here recently.

Maxwell frowned even more.

She moved out of the master bedroom?

Thinking about it, Maxwell went to open the doors of the other rooms again.

In the three–story villa, Maxwell went from room to room, opening every door, but there were no signs that anyone had ever lived there.

Unwilling to give up, Maxwell came to the bathroom again, but here, too, there were only his own things.

The two toothbrushes that used to be together were now just his, standing here all alone.

She wasn’t here.

Even though he didn’t want to admit it, he had to face this reality.

Maxwell went back to the master bedroom and looked at the empty half of the closet.

This place used to be packed with their clothes.

Half was his, half was hers.

But now, only his own suit was left hanging here, looking cold and lonely.

From the traces at home, it looked like she had moved out a long time

ago.

But before, except for business trips, going to Moon Manor, or staying with him, she would always come back here.

She said, after her father died, she didn’t have a home anymore.

Her mom took her from place to place, then got with her stepdad, and things just got worse.
