Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 750

On the alley, he saw something by the road sparkling, shining so brightly.

He walked over, squatted down, and picked up the object. It was a diamond-studded hairpin, clearly a woman's accessory. It looked pretty pricey.

The maids of the Raymond family wouldn't wear stuff like this. Could it be left by a lady from the banquet?

He stood up, having no recollection of the hairpin, but didn't toss it away either.

That scene was witnessed by Selena, who recognized it as Maja's hairpin.

"Ian, it may be left by a lady from the tea party. Give it to me, I'll return it to her later."

Ian remained silent, just staring at the hairpin.

Just as Selena reached out to take it, he slowly asked, "Has Penny been here?"

Selena was startled and her fingers trembled, "What Penny? I have no clue!"

Her emotions have been unstable lately, easily amplified by slight stimulation.

Ian instantly saw through her guilt, his face turned gloomy.

"This hairpin."

Selena tried to snatch it, but Ian put the hairpin into his suit pocket.

He had a strong intuition that this hairpin was indeed important.

"Ian, why would you want a girl's hairpin?"

Selena was a bit flustered.

Ian didn't explain, turned around and started walking away.

Selena wanted to catch up, but he suddenly stopped.

"I don't care about your business with Dad, and you also shouldn't meddle with mine."

Selena's face turned even more pale, filled with regret. She really wished he was the one who died, after all, Eric was much more obedient.

But now Ian was her only son left. If her son was not close to her, she would have no chance with Steve.

"Ian."

Her voice softened, but Ian just walked away.

He thought he had unveiled the truth but dared not to tell Ian.

Maja had been resting at Beck's house for two days. When she first woke up, she just blankly stared at the ceiling.

Later, she finally felt hungry. But every time she saw something that was slightly long, she would get scared and immediately freeze up.

Her mind was still a mess, completely blank.

The doctor said she was overly scared.

That level of a dark room was usually used to interrogate serious criminals. Even the most vicious could only last three days, while Maja lasted more than one day. The fact that she hadn't collapsed yet showed her strong will. Not to mention there were snakes and centipedes in there, two of the most feared creatures for most people.

Beck sat by the bed, handing her a bowl of porridge, encouraging her to eat,

"Have a little to eat."

Maja took the porridge, lowered her head, and quietly ate.

Seeing her like that, Beck inexplicably felt a pang in his heart.

This was completely different from wanting to be close to the opposite sex. It felt like an emotion seeping out from his marrow.
