Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 498

When Carol set her eyes on Ian, they just about popped out of her head. Then, spotting Carlene next to him, her smile dropped a notch.

Carlene was no stranger to Carol; after all, the Millers, running a diamond business, were legit blue blood.

"Ms. Miller."

Carlene greeted her politely. Carol played deaf and turned her attention to Ian.

Ian, however, didn't spare Carol a glance and walked past her.

A sense of relief washed over Carlene. She nodded at Carol, then hurried to catch up with Ian.

Carol snapped a picture of their retreating figures. The flash was still on, and at the moment she pressed the shutter, the whole space seemed to light up.

Ian stopped in his tracks, turning to look at Carol, his eyes as cold as an iceberg.

"Delete that."

Carol's heart pounded. She straightened her neck and said, "No way, I'm sending this to Maja, your wife."

At the mention of his wife's name, Ian's brow furrowed, and he finally looked Carol in the eye.

"Do you know Maja?"

"Of course, we're good friends."

Ian let out a chuckle. "Seems like Ms. Miller didn't teach you well."

Carol's face stiffened. "What do you mean?"

Carlene chimed in, "What Ian means is that being friends with someone like her is beneath you."

Carol was instantly pissed off.

These two were thick as thieves!

Ian didn't give her another look and walked away.

Carlene deliberately lagged behind, turning to Carol.

"Ian and I came to the hospital this late because I needed a check-up."

She intentionally caressed her stomach.

"Still, I hope you won't tell your friend about this. I'm not sure what to do yet."

With Carlene's vague words, touching her belly, and coming to the hospital late at night with Ian, Carol quickly caught on.

She stared disbelievingly at Carlene's stomach.

Was Carlene pregnant?

Carlene gave a small smirk, not giving Carol a chance to ask, and walked away.

Carol stood there, fuming. After some thought, she decided to call Maja right away.

Hearing Maja's vomiting on the phone, Carol became alert. "Are you sick? I'm sorry; I shouldn't have told you this news."

Maja turned on the faucet and rinsed her mouth with clean water, tears in her eyes.

"I'm fine, just a stomach upset."

Carol sounded worried. "I'll come see you. I'm at the hospital right now; I can bring some stomach medicine."

Maja looked at herself in the mirror—a miserable sight.

She had lost a lot of weight; her eyes were helpless. Her eyes were a little red from just throwing up.

"Carol, I'm okay. I'm at Rosewood Manor; Ms. Maria will take care of me. I just feel nauseous."

As she said that, Maja paused and said, "I'm just nauseous."

Carol was heartbroken. She didn't understand why fate was always so unfair to Maja.

Maja lost her mother, Lillian, at a young age. She had to follow her father, Neil Pennyfeather, around for business. She worked hard in her studies and married Ian for the company, only to find out she was not Neil's biological daughter. Now she was burdened with the responsibilities of the Pennyfeather Group.

Carol suddenly got angry and said, "It's just a guy. Like the Shawn Walsh I introduced you to. If you regret it, I'll have him over in no time."

Shawn was the spokesperson for the Miller family company. Before he became the spokesperson, the Miller family checked his background. He was clean.

"Maja, I only introduce you to reliable people. Shawn is very disciplined, handsome, and has an eight-pack. If he can make you happy, I'll have the Miller family fully support him. You'll be his sugar mommy. Shawn Walsh is a good guy, and he's not in a good situation right now, given his lack of background."

He's easy to control, too.
