Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 891

Darlene thought that spilling those beans would make Maja furious.

There were quite a few people hanging around the reception desk, so if Maja lost her cool, it would be really awkward.

Darlene's face was already plastered with a smug grin, but all she saw was Maja giving her a once-over before asking, "How many times have you bragged about that one-night stand with Ian now?"

Darlene's smugness froze, not really getting what Maja meant.

"Maja, what are you on about?"

Darlene didn't address Maja as Mr. Pennyfeather, instead, she called her by her first name.

Maja chuckled. "I'm wondering if you and Ian only ever had that one night."

Darlene's face turned beet red. To be honest, she didn't even spend a night with Ian.

That night was all about Ian getting hammered and her taking advantage of it.

She didn't know why she had such an easy time fooling him; maybe she was just lucky.

Now, facing Maja's mockery, Darlene was tongue-tied.

Maja tucked her hair behind her ears.

"You only spent one night with Ian, that's why you can't help but flaunt it in front of me. I've had countless nights with him, but did you ever see me showing off? You said he's tired of me, well, I'm kind of tired of him too, so there's no need to make a big fuss about it. If he wants to spend money to please you, that's his business. The role for the new Star Movie Group production has already been decided. If I remember correctly, I was the one who cut you out. Turns out, I was pretty wise."

Maja's words left Darlene in a pretty sticky spot, with Maja's 'you only had one night with him' echoing in her head.

Her face turned paler, struggling to find any comebacks.

It wasn't until Maja was out of sight that Darlene, fuming, clenched her fists.

This was not okay. She had to get back at Maja and she couldn't just take this lying down!

She took a deep breath, her eyes burning with resentment.

Lately, even her friends had been laughing behind her back, thinking that Ian would ever take a shine to her.

She had to find a way to get Ian to go out for dinner with her, then she could show off in front of those women. Who knew how many would be green with envy then.

She looked down at her belly. If she had a baby, her status would surely go up. Suddenly, she had a plan, her eyes filled with determination!

She was going to marry into the Raymond family no matter what and then Maja would be toast!

Over the next two days, Maja was swamped with work.

She didn't know Ian had gone to North America, and all her calls to him went unanswered.

During this time, she also made several calls to Jeff, wanting to bring Coco back, but he kept saying he wasn't at Greenfield Gardens.

Maja had no choice but to work and rest.

But at night, when she was lying in bed, she couldn't help but think back to the night she was rescued.

Even though the voice had changed a bit, it still felt familiar.

The first time, she could chalk it up to a hallucination or wishful thinking.

But this was the second time.

Thinking about it, she was even more eager to see Coco.

Maja got dressed, preparing to head to Greenfield Gardens again.

The window rolled down to reveal Omar's face.

"Get in."

Cornelia's face darkened at the sight of him, and she wordlessly walked away.

Omar slowly drove along behind her, talking on the phone.

"Alright, I get it. The plan didn't work out, but Maja's still alive, right? If Alma wants her gone, then you guys will have to find another chance."

Cornelia stopped in her tracks when she heard this, finally understanding why Maja had been hospitalized a few days ago. It was all the doing of the Casson family.

Omar hung up the phone and tossed it aside.

Seeing her stop, he thought she had changed her mind and immediately got out of the car.

"Cornelia, just get in the car now, and we can explain everything to your parents later. I've already started planning the wedding, and we can get married next month, wasn't this what we agreed on?"

Indeed, this was what Cornelia and he had agreed on.

Before she knew he was one of the Cassons, she was so eager to marry him, thinking he was a ray of light in her life.

But now she had come to her senses. Her world was never dark while all the darkness was brought on by him.

The so-called "ray of light" was nothing but self-deception.

Her hand, her parents' jobs, and their predicaments were all caused by him.

And he had the audacity to claim her body and propose marriage.

How absurd! Those wounds were nothing to him.
