Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1181

His legs had turned to lead before he finally allowed himself to move.

After a shower, Ian sat in his bedroom, staring blankly at the computer. His mind was too cluttered to comprehend a single word on the screen.

The executives overseas were quietly awaiting his words in the conference, yet ten minutes had passed and he had provided no instructions.

Someone finally broke the silence, "Mr. Raymond?"

That seemed to wake Ian up from his trance, and he began to systematically arrange the following work.

After concluding the meeting, he glanced at the wall clock.

It was four in the morning and Maja was still not back.

Ian stood on the balcony, a cigarette held loosely between his fingers, soaking in the tranquility of the night.

Sleep eluded him and he kept gazing in the distant view.

Maja had wanted to spare a few hours to spend with Ian, but her overtime stretched till seven in the morning. Soon after, Antonia came looking for her at the office, desperate for advice on winning her husband back.

Maja had to gulp down two cups of strong coffee to refresh herself.

"Antonia, I remember your husband is Peter. He and Daisy are due on a film set today, taking their kids along. Do what I told you now, go bring lunch to him."

Peter wasn't exactly a model husband, but he wasn't completely indifferent towards his autistic daughter either. He felt guilty instead. However, he already had a son, and his new life with Daisy gradually overshadowed this guilt.

The mention of preparing lunch for Peter left Antonia fuming, "Why would I do that for the scumbag?"

Maja slid a pair of earbuds, "I will guide you through the conversation via these earbuds, Antonia. If you want Peter to start caring for you again, you need to do what I say."

Antonia hesitated, but Maja's calm demeanor reassured her. After few minutes’ contemplating, she picked up the earbuds and put them into her ears, "Maja, if you dare trick me, I'll drag you and your company down even if it costs me my daughter’s life."

Maja didn't respond, her heart ached for Antonia's daughter.

Autism had already taken a toll on the child's health, and her mother's unstable behavior didn't make things any easier.
