Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103 

lan’s dad hadn’t got a clue about the dirty deeds Daniel had done behind closed doors. If he ever found out, he’d probably give the Brown family a run for their money. And let’s not forget that Daniel had laid hands on Maja. 

Samuel could feel the sweat trickling down his forehead. Maja didn’t say it out loud, but he knew it was a threat. If he continued to stand in her way and hinder her from completing lan’s task, she’d spill the beans about Daniel’s attempted assault to lan’s father. 

If this happened, the Brown family would be in deep water. 

Samuel hadn’t expected Maja to pull such a card, “I’ve underestimated you, Penny.” 

He thought she was just a self–respecting woman, but it turned out she wore more hats than that. 

He knew about lan’s marriage three years ago, but he’d never met the famed Mrs. Big Shot Little did he know that she was sitting right in front of him, and he and his father had already ticked her off. 

Samuel was feeling choked up. His carefully planned pursuit had turned into a hot mess 

“You’ve got Holden backing you up, so I wouldn’t dare to mess with you. But your husband is just next door, and here you are, chit–chatting with me. You’ve got some nerve.” Maja finally took a sip from her wine glass, her lips pursed. 

“To me, lan is just Mr. Raymond. We’ve agreed to treat each other as strangers, so I won’t be the one to break the agreement.” 

As they were talking, a waiter respectfully knocked on the door and brought in their food. Samuel had ordered a couple’s set meal for tonight, along with a nice gift box. He had planned to make Maja give in tonight, but now he had to let it go.. 

“Penny, tonight’s dishes are the chef’s new creations. Opportunities to enjoy such delicacies are few and far between, so why don’t we finish the meal before leaving.” Maja figured there was no point in being petty at this point. The most important matter had been settled. She let her guard down and didn’t want to miss out on the good food. 

She was quite fond of the sweet wine being served and couldn’t help but have a few more glasses. 

Samuel took a few more glances at her. Ian must be out of his mind to be indifferent towards a wife like her and let her dine with another man. Samuel was actually starting to fall for Maja, especially now that she had let her guard down. She looked so vulnerable, it made him want to protect her. 

“Don’t drink too much of this wine.” 

He regretted saying that as soon as the words left his mouth. It wouldn’t hurt for her to have a few more glasses, at least he could get to see her tipsy. The thought of all these things made Samuel furious. If lan truly didn’t have feelings for Maja, why didn’t he just divorce her! 

With a table full of delicious food in front of him, Samuel couldn’t find the appetite to eat. Instead, he kept stealing glances at Maja. 

Suddenly, the person in charge of the fireworks display called him, asking when to start the show, as everything was ready. 

“Cancel the fireworks!” 

Samuel was seething inside, but he couldn’t help but keep his eyes on Maja, who was holding her wine glass, looking out of the window. 

From here, one could indeed see the bustling scene of Greenfield, and the seats here were hard to come by. 

People like lan, who would even occupy a private booth all year around, making it more difficult for people to book other booths.. 

Memories from the past started flooding Maja’s mind, making her feel a little lost. 

Samuel couldn’t bear to see a beauty like her upset, so he told the person in charge of the fireworks, “Start now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, within half a minute, half of the sky was lit up by the fireworks. Although Maja thought Samuel’s way of pursuing girls was cliche, giving flowers, jewelry, all too common. 

But fireworks, probably no woman could resist that.
