Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Chapter 2229

Maggie dropped to her knees, and the entire room fell silent in shock.

She faced Athena, her voice trembling. "Back in school, I was immature and took it out on you. I know I was wrong. I hope you can forgive me."

Athena turned her head away, saying nothing. She neither offered forgiveness nor refused it, simply letting Maggie remain kneeling.

A surge of humiliation and anger burned inside Maggie, but no one in the room spoke up on her behalf.

She bit her lip so hard she tasted blood, her hands clenched tightly at her sides.

What more did they want from her? Wasn't this enough?

A minute dragged by, and Athena still didn't respond.

Maggie pressed on, her voice strained. "I've apologized. Don't you think you should at least say something?"

Athena stood abruptly, making it clear she intended to leave.
