Jeffrey was restless.
The truth, three years late, was laid out before him, so astonishing that it took his breath away.
It felt like a huge mountain pressing on his heart, making it impossible for him to break free or bear the weight.
Maggie handed out the documents with a cold expression on her face.
If you feel that the original contract offered too little benefit to you, I have a new contract here. Compared to the original one, we can give another point of concession, but not more.
Her tone was all businesslike, without a hint of any other emotion.
Jeffrey’s heart was also torn apart, tasting regret.
If I had come to Germany to find you back then, would you have forgiven me?
Maggie involuntarily tightened the documents in her hand, but her face showed no expression.
“No. We had no future from the moment you kept pushing me away because of Amber, over and over again.”
Without hesitation, the refusal made Jeffrey’s face suddenly turn pale.
It was as if all his strength had been drained in an instant. He, who had always been careless, now looked a bit disheveled.
He stared blankly at the contract, took it, picked up the pen next to him

without saying a word, and signed it.
Then, only handed it to her.
Maggie took it and turned to the last page of the contract.
The characters above are not Jeffrey’s name, but three neat characters.
Forgive me.
Maggie closed her eyes and took a deep breath suddenly.
Then I opened my eyes, and there was a coldness in the depths of my
eyes.
What do you mean? If you are not willing, then don’t sign, so as not to waste a few sheets of A4 paper for me!
The sarcastic words fell on Jeffrey’s ears, but seemed to have lost their power.
He was silent for a moment, and only said, “The contract will proceed as originally planned, there is no need for you to make concessions.”
Maggie also fell silent.
It was a while before he asked, “Will you fulfill your promise?”
Jeffrey nodded, his face a picture of defeat.
Maggie couldn’t stand the look on his face, as if all his disappointment was because of her.
He was the one who kept pestering Amber, but everyone thought she was the one who abandoned him.
Maggie also felt a wave of annoyance in her heart.

Carrying the discarded files, he walked straight out.
When she arrived at the door, she paused for a moment.
Looking back at him, “I hope that next time I meet your colleagues, they won’t have to look at me with the eyes of a heartbreaker. Since it was a misunderstanding, please handle it as soon as possible.”
“My reputation is also very important.”
With that, he turned around without hesitation and left.
Jeffrey took a few deep breaths, then lowered his face and pressed the hotline.
Half an hour later, hold a full meeting, not a single person can be absent!

After leaving the laboratory, Maggie sent a message to her boss.
“Resolved.”
He closed his phone and didn’t think about work anymore.
At this moment, there was a hint of bitterness in her heart.
She thought that after going to Jeffrey’s office and opening up about everything, she wouldn’t feel so upset anymore.
However, over the past three years, Jeffrey has been complain about her condition.
The misunderstanding between them existed from the very beginning, but neither of them was willing to unravel it.
She loved Jeffrey, but she didn’t know how to open his heart.

I thought as long as I could be a little humble and persist a little longer, I could touch his heart.
But he never thought about whether he needed her efforts.
Perhaps they were just in the mood from start to finish, so they teased her a bit.
And now, perhaps I had gotten used to her, so after wandering around, I still chose her.
Not because of love, but just because of habit.
Maggie’s expression was indifferent, but–her phone in the palm of her hand suddenly rang loudly at that moment.
There were only three big words on the screen.
Felix.
