Herbert sat frozen, his blood running cold as the dial tone echoed in his ear. He didn't move for a long, agonizing time. His entire body felt numb.
Standing behind him, Rudolf remained silent. Neither of them had expected Starla's reaction to be this explosive. Not only had Herbert failed to get any information on Susanna and Fairfax, but he had also completely destroyed whatever fragile truce he had built with her.
All the progress he thought he had made was wiped out by a single phone call.
And Herbert knew that if he left Maxlandia tonight, he would probably never see her again.
"Just because of one call, she hates me this much," Herbert muttered, a bitter sense of helplessness washing over him. But regret was useless now.
"You know she despises the Yelchins, sir," Rudolf said quietly.
Herbert fell silent. He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. During his time in Smaro Town, he had practically quit smoking to accommodate Starla's health. He had only allowed himself the occasional cigarette when she wasn't around. But since returning to Marina City, his addiction had come back worse than ever.
"It's a fight to the death between her and Fairfax now," Rudolf noted.
Herbert's heart clenched. It had always been that way, hadn't it? Even back in Marina City. He had known the stakes, yet he had still pushed her away for a handful of mines.
"Pack our things," Herbert said, closing his eyes.

Why The ML is Idiot ๐๐๐ i Dont understand,i Think herbert is more suitable to become the ML he is most compose and calm than the ML ๐๐...
"You're a failure as a husband and coward as a Man" This is what i want to say in Fairfax hahaha you dont deserved a wife if you cant protect her...
Hahaha This plot of story i hate about, choosing another girl instead of your own wife is something unreal, you didnt considered your wife feeling, you didnt even trust her and later on you will say sorry?? Was sorry will fixed everything you've done? Was sorry fixed her heart? it was unfair for your wife, you must choose your wife whatever it is. You know your wife well more than anyone else and the only person she should lean on was the person who pushes her away...
Finally๐...
More chapters please ๐ฅบ...
