Chapter 22
Maggie was completely shocked.
She incredulously read the text message several times, but couldn’t believe that it was from Jeffrey.
His meaning was very clear, he wanted to reconcile.
Only a fool couldn’t see what he meant.
It was only when I saw it that I felt horrified.
When Maggie was with him in the past, she hardly ever felt his attitude so positive.
What’s even more surprising is that he took the initiative to reconcile after the breakup, which is not something he would normally do.
Maggie’s face changed again and again.
In the end, she chose not to reply at all, just quietly adding his number to the blacklist again.
Maybe he lost his mind in a fit of anger, but she didn’t.
The ten years of pursuit had exhausted her strength, to reunite? Unless she was truly crazy, she wouldn’t do such a thing.
***
Jeffrey sat on the sofa, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Half an hour has passed since he sent a subtle message seeking reconciliation.

But his phone still had no messages.
Jeffrey thought that even if he suddenly went to take a shower, he should have come out in half an hour.
So he held his breath and sent another message.
In the dialogue box, there was an extremely glaring red exclamation mark.
He was blocked by Maggie again.
Jeffrey’s heart plummeted from a high place in an instant, crashing to the ground.
He stared blankly ahead.
There was nothing in the air.
But it seemed like there was a figure present.
During the three years since breaking up with Maggie, he often felt like there was someone accompanying him in the air.
He was well aware that he was sick.
But he dared not go to seek treatment.
Because he was afraid that this person would disappear from his world.
At this moment, before his eyes, was Maggie wearing his familiar warm yellow pajamas, sitting there, working on her noteboo‘ while occasionally glancing at him.
Why do you always stare at me?
Jeffrey used to never inquire, as he was accustomed to ignoring her

loving gaze.
Now, he wanted to ask, “Maggie, do you still love me?”
Spoken out, the spacious room was filled only with the sound of his own breathing.
Maggie’s shadow disappeared, and there was nothing left.
Jeffrey finally closed his eyes in embarrassment, feeling a deep sense of sadness in his heart.
The next day.
Maggie went to the office, intending to continue pushing forward with the case, but was called into the boss’s office.
There was a sudden issue in the laboratory, they said the delivery time would be postponed.
The boss hesitated and said, “Go find out what happened exactly. This case cannot be delayed. If they need anything, just cooperate with them.”
Although the boss said so, his eyes clearly showed that he was willing to cooperate at all costs.
Maggie clenched her fists, feeling a faint sense of powerlessness creeping into her heart.
She didn’t know what Jeffrey was thinking right now, but she had to contact him about work
Maggie let out a sigh and said, “Got it, I will personally go visit.”
After coming out of the office, she returned to the office, expressionless, opened the phone, pulled up the original file, made a

few changes, and then printed another copy.
Carrying the freshly baked contract, she picked up her coat from the chair and left.
It was very cold outside in late autumn.
When Maggie arrived at Jeffrey’s laboratory, her face was slightly pale.
She rarely comes here. Three years have passed, and most of the former employees have also been replaced.
Everyone treated her as an employee of BrightPath Accounting, rather than Mr. Arellano’s ex–girlfriend.
Until a girl accidentally saw her, she exclaimed in surprise, her eyes full of disgust.
“Maggie? How dare you show your face to Mr. Arellano again?”
