Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 205

The car slowly drove off.

Jeff, sitting in the car, was the one who could most directly feel Ian's mood swings.

The frosty atmosphere had gradually dissipated.

He breathed a sigh of relief. There had been some bold women who tried to approach Ian before, but they disappeared quickly.

The woman from this morning was also brave, trying to approach him multiple times.

Thank God the boss's mood had improved, or the higher-ups at the Raymond Corporation might have been in for another punishment.

And Maja stood there, waiting for Ian's car to be out of sight before she bent down to look at Coco.

She'd had Coco for many years, and while it was indeed a crowd-pleaser, it had never shown such enthusiasm before. Only for Ian, wagging its tail like it was going to break it off at their first meeting.

Maja cupped Coco's face, gently rubbing it.

Could it be that Coco was simply drawn to Ian's good looks?

On that point, Maja couldn't argue.

Because Ian's appearance was something she had wanted to paint countless times.

She lightly tapped Coco's head with her fingertips.

"Never knew you had a thing for hot guys."

After taking Coco for a walk, Maja bumped into Selena who came over for a house check.

Selena seemed very worried about something happening between Ian and Maja. She first went upstairs to see if Maja was still staying in the room farthest from Ian's master bedroom before she felt relieved.

"I heard Holden sent you another gift?"

Holden's punishment seemed to be public knowledge. Almost everyone in the Raymond family knew about it.

But none of them took the initiative to contact Maja, Ian's wife in name, to tell her about it. It was clear how marginal Maja's position was in the Raymond family.

At first, Selena couldn't believe her son was having an affair, then she was delighted.

She didn't like Carlene either. She felt the Shepard family wasn't good enough for the Raymond family.

But after Ian married Maja, he left home for three years. Ian rarely even called her.

Selena had already lost one son. She didn't want any more conflicts with this younger one, so she accepted Carlene.

So she kept warning Maja not to have any other ideas.

But now that there were other women in the picture, Selena was even happier.

If her son wasn't dead set on Carlene, she had plenty of other options.

"Dad."

"Maja, one of your mother and I's classmates came to our house. He said he had something to discuss with you, come over and talk to him. We might work with his company in the future."

Specifically looking for her?

Her parents' classmate?

If it was a work thing, there was no need to go to the Pennyfeather family.

When Maja entered the living room, she saw Silver sitting across from Neil.

Her face immediately darkened.

Silver laughed when he saw her.

"What a surprise, you're the daughter of my old classmate."

Maja saw a pile of gifts on the coffee table. The most conspicuous was a piece of ancient painting, estimated to be worth about 30 million. And it was the original painting Neil had been looking for.

Neil looked like he and Silver had been chatting for a while. When he saw her come back, he signaled her to come over.

"Maja, come say hi to Mr. Carnes."
