“If you want another reason,” Lennon smiled and said, “just think I couldn’t stand seeing Maxwell and the Humphrey Group doing so well.”
“Stephanie, did you know.”
Lennon paused a bit and said, “I’m really jealous of him.”
“Wasn’t jealous that he had the Humphrey Group, or his success in his
career.
“But he was jealous. He had someone he could truly trust, someone who was willing to risk everything, even their life, for him.”
Stephanie lowered her eyes a little.
A lover who risked everything and didn’t care about their own life?
Wasn’t this stupid?
Look at what she got in these seven years.
“Let me think about it,” she said. “I can’t give you an answer right away”
She was really tired.
These seven years, she was already way too tired.
It was already hard to get into a relationship in a short time.
She even doubted whether she still had the ability to fall in love with someone again.

And could she really get into another marriage without love?
“Excuse me.” Stephanie said, giving a slight bow. Then she stood up, turned around, and left.
Left Lennon sitting here alone.
He looked at the cup of tea in front of her that had never been touched, and smiled calmly.
He understood her thoughts.
If she already didn’t have the ability to fall in love with someone else, then, how about letting him love her?
Stephanie let out a sigh of relief after she left the teahouse and got back in the car.
At least Lennon wasn’t here to give her trouble, she’d think about the rest later.
Also, she got divorced smoothly, should be happy.

On the other side, Maxwell had already driven back to the Humphrey Group
He had already told Edgar to cancel all of today’s plans.
So, Edgar was a little surprised whenever he saw him.
“Mr. Humphrey, how did you get here?” Edgar asked.
Edgar looked Maxwell up and down and said worriedly, “Mr. Humphrey, you don’t look so good. Do you want me to call a doctor?”

Maxwell waved his hand and said there was no need.
“The previous meeting, continue.” Maxwell spoke.
Edgar wanted to ask if something went wrong with the divorce, but seeing Maxwell like that, he knew he shouldn’t say anything.
“Yes” Edgar passed it on right away.
So, that morning. Maxwell had a ton of meetings.
No one dared mess with him.
They only talked about it in the corner in secret after the meeting.
“What’s wrong with Mr. Humphrey? Didn’t the secretary’s office say Mr. Humphrey pushed back all his appointments today? He looked so scary!”
“I don’t know, usually Mr. Humphrey was a really strict guy, but you saw him today, even his stubble was showing, he didn’t look so good.”
“Did you have a fight with Roxanne?”
“Who knows, anyway, if Stephanie was with Mr. Humphrey, there’s no way she would’ve let this happen.”
“Also…”
“What are you talking about?” These people were halfway through when Edgar came over and interrupted. “Don’t talk about Mr. Humphrey like that!”
The employees immediately said sorry, then walked away,
On the other side that the employees didn’t see, Maxwell lightly pressed his lips together.

A moment later, he turned and left.
Maxwell was busy all morning.
He felt really tired after a sleepless night.
When he leaned back in his boss chair and closed his eyes to rest, suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and then someone came up
to him.
“Max” a voice came.
Maxwell opened his eyes and saw Roxanne smiling at him.
“Let’s go get our marriage certificate,” Roxanne said.
Roxanne was talking and took out a file folder, saying. “I’ve already brought all the documents I need.”
“I put on some makeup on purpose. Do I look a bit better?” Roxanne said.
The temperature in the CEO’s Office was just right, and Roxanne’s smile looked really nice.
It did look a bit more energetic.
Not as pale as before.
She looked really excited.
But…
I didn’t know if it was because he was too tired or what, but Maxwell didn’t feel like going to get the marriage certificate.
“Another day.” Maxwell lowered his eyes a little, not wanting to see Roxanne’s disappointed look.

“I’m pretty tired today,” he said, reaching up to rub his brow. “There were also some things to get ready for the wedding.”
Roxanne looked at Maxwell’s scruffy face and knew he really was tired, so she didn’t push him.
It’s just, she really wanted to settle it soon, that way, she was Mrs. Humphrey.
She couldn’t wait to throw the marriage certificate in Stephanie’s face, couldn’t wait to see Stephanie looking all angry, upset, heartbroken, but totally helpless!
