Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 434

Right now, Maja was crawling around on the floor, looking for her ring. Ian casually tossed it somewhere, and now it's lost.

She tried lifting the sofa; she had already searched once, but still no luck.

Coco, the little rascal, was bouncing around by her side, hoping for a pat, but Maja didn't have time for it.

She meticulously searched the floor, but still, no ring.

She's feeling a bit down, and her eyes were welling up. She's regretting wearing the ring tonight.

She searched till midnight; the small ring seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Maja’s mood got worse; she plopped down on the sofa feeling spaced out, thinking that she might not be able to sleep tonight if she can’t find the birthday present.

Suddenly, she heard Coco barking and spotted the ring stuck in the sofa crevice.

Her eyes lit up with the joy of finding something lost.

Quickly, she picked up the ring and placed it in the box in her bedroom, along with an envelope and her notebook. She locked the box.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered the fight she had with Ian earlier.

She kicked him out.

But right now, she didn't feel like apologizing to Ian.

After all, he was the one who messed up.

This time, Maja didn't back down; she decided to let it be.

After a week of silent treatment, Edith from the Raymond family returned.

Edith was on good terms with Selena, so when Edith returned, Selena picked her up. Ian didn't go.

Neither did Holden.

Edith, dressed in a formal long dress, oozing the aura of a noble family, asked, "Where's the woman Ian married?"

Selena poured her a cup of tea.

Edith took the cup and said, "It's been three years; that boy Ian is really patient; it’s surprising they haven't divorced yet."

Selena humbly replied, "Mom, don't worry about it. I've warned that woman not to harbor unrealistic hopes."

Edith didn't stay at the Raymond family’s old house, but at the Raymond Mansion, where Selena lived.

It seemed like Edith and Holden weren’t on good terms.

Edith scoffed: "Holden insisted on Ian marrying that girl; I have no idea what bewitched him."

"Edith, don't say that; it's me who didn't get to enjoy it. Ian and I were both too young then."

"Humph, it's not you who didn't get to enjoy it. Your painting skills are so good that you almost became Herbert’s apprentice. I remember Ian also studying under Herbert for a while, but he was deemed too introverted. Your personality complements his; once he divorces, Carlene, as long as you don't mind, the Raymond family’s doors will always be open to you."

Carlene immediately responds, "How could I mind Ian? And I know he was forced into this marriage; he hasn't even touched that woman."

"Good, as long as you don't mind then."

The three of them chatted and laughed.

But deep down, Selena looked down on Carlene; she felt Carlene just got lucky knowing Edith.

Selena still hoped Ian can find a wife of equal social status, preferably a real socialite.

After Carlene happily left, Edith’s face turned serious.

"What's the name of Ian's wife? She hasn't come to see me yet."

Selena smirked inside, thinking that probably no one informed Maja.

After all, Maja's presence in the Raymond family wa really low.

But she didn't tell Edith this; instead, she started stirring the pot.
