Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 110

Worried about offending Ian, she turned slightly as she sneezed, her shoulders shaking. Her face looked paler from being drenched in the rain, her wet hair obediently sticking to her cheeks, her eyelashes heavy with droplets of water.

Her clothes were thin and clung to her, outlining her elegant figure.

Maja rubbed her burning eyes and seeing Ian's car still there, politely asked, "Mr. Raymond, still burning the midnight oil?"

Ian was indeed working overtime. There was a party at his family's mansion the next night which he had to attend, so the meeting had been brought forward and had just ended.

He had assumed that Maja would ask for a lift, considering it was hard to get a cab at this intersection and she had neither a bag nor a phone on her.

But his car had been parked there for two minutes, and the cars behind were honking. He hadn't said anything, and Maja just smiled at him, politely and courteously, like treating an important client.

Ian was somewhat annoyed, but he didn't know why.

"Where do you live?" he asked, his tone cold, his profile exuding a chilly air.

Maja needed to get some documents from the Pennyfeather family, but if she went there, Ian would definitely find out about her identity in advance.

Plus, she was soaked through, getting in the car would only dirty it.

"I live nearby."

A hint of complexity flashed in Ian's eyes. This was the first time he'd offered to take a woman home, only to be gently refused.

Was she really as calm as Tyler said, or what?

He opened the car door, and Maja was a bit surprised, thinking he was inviting her in. Just as she was about to make an excuse to refuse again, a handle popped out from the car door, a silver one.

"It's an umbrella, take it."

It wasn't until Maja heard his words that she reacted and quickly took the umbrella.

"Thank you, Mr. Raymond, I'll return it to you when I get the chance."

Only then did Ian realize that since they met, she had been addressing him as "Mr. Raymond". Polite and distant. The car door closed automatically, and he said nothing.

Cristina's attitude was very cold, as if she wanted to prevent her from entering.

Maja looked at the living room behind her. The decor had almost all been changed to Cristina's favorite style.

There was a strange smell in the air, and Maja frowned, "I'm here to get my dad's stuff, move."

Cristina sneered and crossed her arms, "Grab your stuff and bugger off. You were the one who wanted to leave this family, don't think about coming back."

Maja laughed and looked at Cristina.

Seeing this, Cristina seemed a bit flustered and tightened her pajamas, "What are you looking at? Don't think I'm scared of you just because your dad's not home."

Maja didn't argue with her and went straight upstairs to get the documents from the study. But as she opened the study, she saw a family portrait on the desk. It was just Neil, Cristina, and Tricia and Glenn. Her and her mom's pictures had been put in the drawer.

She just glanced at it and then reached for the documents. At this moment, she smelled that strange smell again, somewhat fishy and sour.
