Minerva was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

She thought for a moment and understood Maddox's meaning. Then she smiled and said, "It's normal if she does blame me. After all, I too, blame myself."

Upon hearing this, Maddox narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you blaming yourself?"

Minerva lowered her eyes.

Yes, she had been blaming herself.

She was also responsible for Maddox's injury. If it hadn't been for her, he wouldn't have been so badly hurt. She blamed herself. Why did she go look for Janice at the beginning? Although they had made an appointment, she should have left when Janice said that she didn't have time. Why did she directly go see her?

If she had not gone to that restaurant, perhaps she would not have run into Maddox?

Thinking of this, Minerva smiled bitterly and said, "If I hadn't gone to that restaurant, so many things would not have happened.

Perhaps now you and Miss Lowell might have..."

They might have sealed the deal.

"There are no what if's!" Maddox interrupted her in a cold voice. He pursed his thin lips and said, "You still don't get it, do you?"

"What?"

"Five years. For five years, why haven't I divorced you?"

Minerva did not know the answer.

At that moment, Maddox's eyes were deep but bright, resembling hundreds of millions of stars shining in the night sky.
