Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 242

Ian's face was cold as ice, his brows furrowed in seriousness. This stoic look only made him seem more mysterious and quite alluring.

Fannie's heart raced as she looked at him, her cheeks flushing a rosy hue. Then he said, "I'll have Jeff take you home."

Fannie's face fell at his words, her eyes quickly welling up with tears.

"Don't think I didn't notice, you met Penny in the restroom during dinner."

Ian had left the table, and Fannie had followed him, witnessing the two of them standing at the restroom door.

The vibe was clear. Something was up. The atmosphere had only cooled further when Ian returned to the table, especially after overhearing Penny's phone call.

Fannie felt uneasy, but she couldn't figure out what could be going on between the two.

"So what?" He stood in the doorway, cold and distant.

Fannie bit her lip, uncertain about his attitude.

"She is already married, isn't she? I think she's trying to lure you in."

She hadn't planned on bringing up Penny, but her beauty was hard to ignore. And she could actually be affecting Ian's mood? Fannie was unsure about this.

"Ian, are you really attracted to her?"

There was no hint of emotion in Ian's eyes, but his face had noticeably hardened.

"Fannie, I'm already married."

"So, whether or not I'm attracted to her is none of your business. Jeff will take you home."

Her eyes reddened again at his words, stamping her foot in anger.

"You're so annoying!"

She cried as she stormed off.

Ian rubbed his temples, retreating back into the room and shutting the door behind him.When Jeff arrived, he brought with him a pile of new documents.

"Mr. Raymond, Samuel from EliteEdge called. He said..."

Ian took out his pen, scanning through the documents, "What did he say?"

"He asked if he could pursue your wife if you didn't like her or want to deal with her."

Samuel was a real jerk, thinking of pursuing someone else's wife and having the audacity to inform her husband.

Early the next morning.

Jeff trailed behind the cars of the directors, who knew it was their last visit before leaving. However, on the way back, after a round of visits, they ran into a parked car on a different road.

Crystalbrook Valley was a poor county, the mountain roads were narrow and neglected, untouched by development, and this car was blocking the road.

James, who was driving upfront, immediately got out of the car, but was startled when he saw who was in the car.

Wasn't that Maja?

Maja heard someone knocking on the window, she frowned, squinted against the bright sunlight, then finally got out of the car. She was still wet, having spent the night in the cold, her face looked pale.

James was taken aback, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Maja replied, "Sorry, my car broke down and I can't drive it back."

James quickly made a call for a tow truck. But since her car was blocking the road, the cars behind couldn't proceed, so they had to wait.

Bob had no choice but to inform Ian about the situation, sighing afterwards, "Poor girl, her mother died young and her father remarried. I heard her husband is unreliable too. Mr. Raymond, can I let her warmup in your car? She's soaked to the bone."

Ian didn't say anything, his grip tightening on the documents as he heard Maja's story.
