Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 627

"Say that again?"

Upon hearing this, Maja shot up from her chair.

Harden chuckled on the other end, then sighed breezily.

"I've been patient, thinking you'd agree soon enough. But you've wasted too much of my time, so I had to resort to this."

Maja felt a surge of anger in her chest.

She thought back to Neil's funeral, the way she'd carefully held onto the urn.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, Neil's ashes are with me. What I gave you were the remains of some cremated stray dogs, just enough to fill your urn. I didn't think it would come to this," Harden said casually, "Are you ready to talk now?"

Maja forced herself to stay cool. She couldn't fall for that woman's trap, "Where shall we meet, Miss Dickens?"

Harden sent her an address.

"It's here. Laura is in a coma and may not wake up. Ms. Pennyfeather, you should know when to stop. I heard you're not Neil's biological daughter. I'll give you five million. It's a big win for you. There's no need to be so stubborn."

Maja hung up the phone.

Harden chuckled, returning to her conversation with her business partner as if nothing had happened.

Maja sat back down; she was stunned that the Tuttles could do something so despicable. Switching the ashes, how could they do such a thing?

She took a deep breath and tried her best to keep her composure.

Meanwhile, Ian had just arrived at the Raymond Mansion.

The house was filled with a pleasant aroma. He walked into the dining room to find a table full of food.

Edith and Selena were already waiting.

"Ian, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Come and sit down."

Ian wasn't hungry, but hearing that they'd prepared the meal themselves, he started to eat.

This was the first time he'd been treated like this as far as he could remember.

He didn't have high expectations, but it was better than nothing.

"This soup was made by Edith. Consider it a birthday gift."

Ian tasted the soup. It had a strange flavor, but he still said, "Thank you, Edith."

After dinner, Ian finally asked, "What is Eric's thing?" Seeing Edith and Selena so excited, could it have something to do with research data?

Just as he said that he saw a woman walking towards them from a distance. It was Carlene.

Ian's face turned stern.

Edith said, "This is what Eric left behind. Now that you're divorced, you can take Carlene home. It would fulfill Eric's wish. You two should settle your relationship tonight. Ideally, Carlene should get pregnant."
