"Haha, really? Well, she's asking me out for a meal next week. Wanna join and chat about old times?" "Nah... I'd rather not."

When Ashley had problems in the past, not a single person was willing to help...and he was one of them. Since then, Gracie had harbored deep hatred towards him. She had long ceased all contact with him, and even if they were to meet again, she would never say a nice word to him. So, it would be better not to meet her.

Stephanie asked in surprise, "Maximus, were you and Gracie once good friends?"

Maximus answered awkwardly, "We were, but things changed..."

"Oh... Since Mr. Finnegan brought it up, why don't we all go out for a meal next week?" Stephanie suggested.

Maximus forced a bitter smile and said, "Why are you joining in the teasing too? There's really nothing between me and Gracie... You all can go, but I shouldn't be there and ruin her appetite." Stephanie looked curiously at Mr. Finnegan and asked, "Did they have some sort of conflict?"

Mr. Finnegan raised an eyebrow and said, "If the accident hadn't happened... their children might already be in elementary school now! But let's not bring that up... It might upset Maximus." Maximus chuckled bitterly, "You're exaggerating... Don't listen to Mr. Finnegan's nonsense. We were just friends..."

But Stephanie felt there must be a story behind it!
