Her eyelashes fluttered down, and she tried dialing the number again, only to find out she was blocked this time.
With no other choice, she dialed Carol's number.
Upon hearing her voice, Carol was shocked.
"Text me your address, I'll be right there!"
Maja handed the phone back to the young girl, her voice husky, "Thanks, sweetheart."
The girl had overheard the male voice on the other end and noticing Maja's pregnant belly, she comforted her immediately.
"Was that your husband just now? You're pregnant and he's behaving like that! He's such a jerk. You should divorce him once you're back. Don't marry such a man."
A bitter smile spread across Maja's face. She had already divorced him. He was her ex-husband.
She didn't say anything and just listened as the girl's uncle began to hurry them along.
"Let's go, or those debt collectors will really come to find us."
The girl glanced at Maja, patting her shoulder reassuringly.
"You should definitely get a divorce when you're back. An unreliable man can ruin a whole family, just like my father. He gambled away everything and even had a mistress, and now the debt collectors are at our door. They drove my mother to suicide, and he ran away with all the money, leaving us behind. You're really pretty. Don't waste your time on such man. They're only good for the good times, not the hard ones."
Maja was surprised by the wisdom in the young girl's words, and offered her a small smile.
"Right, I'll remember that. And you too, focus on your career when you grow up."
The girl nodded vigorously.
The middle-aged man watched their interaction, a pang of sadness in his heart. He quickly urged them to leave.
"Let's go, if we don't, those people might really come."
The girl nodded, but couldn't bear to see Maja sitting there alone.
"Don't wander off, just wait here for your family."
Maja nodded. If she had her phone, she would have transferred some money to the girl, having overheard their conversation and knowing they were in need.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
