Chapter 121
He pursed his lips and pressed the answer button with his uninjured hand. When he was thinking about how to speak, Holden’s words of comfort came from the other end of the phone. “Ian, you did a great job this time, you’ve really grown up. If you can’t make it tonight, forget it. I won’t blame you this time.”
lan squinted his eyes, puzzled by why he would say something like that.
Every time his grandpa called him before, they always ended up talking about Maja, but tonight, his grandpa didn’t seem to have that plan.
Was it because of the big acquisition deal he just closed?
Grandpa rarely cared about the business, and after he handed over the Raymond Corporation to him, he had been in the hospital for treatment, living a cushy retirement life.
Aside from that acquisition, lan really couldn’t think of anything else he had done that would make grandpa so pleased, so he naturally continued:
“Grandpa, it’s my job, and I’ll keep pushing.”
But to Holden, this sentence meant something else.
He was actually not in a good mood because when he told lan to pick up Maja, lan seemed reluctant and said he had to work overtime.
Was work more important than his granddaughter–in–law?
Holden had been waiting for lan and Maja to arrive so he could formally introduce Maja to everyone else.
Over the years, they had made Maja’feel uncomfortable more than once, and even now, many people didn’t know who she was.
Since she had married into the Raymond family, they couldn’t let others bully her any longer.
So when he saw that lan was late, Holden was very angry, but now hearing this good news, he was relieved to think that his grandson had finally come to his senses.
“Ian, I thought you were pulling my leg when you said you’d work hard, turns out Lwas wrong about you. Keep up the good work.”
Ian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was rare for the old man to pay attention to the company’s business, and he didn’t mention that woman, his mood was somewhat calmed.
“I know.”
After hanging up the phone, Holden looked much more spirited, more effective than any good medicine,
Looks like by the end of this year, he could have a great–grandson.
He was completely oblivious to the fact that he and lan were talking about two different things.
lan watched the doctor continue to stitch up the wound.
Outside the door, Maja was looking at Leo sitting aside, her face very serious
“What the hell are you thinking? Disappearing for all these years, just to come to Greenfield and play beggar?!”
Leo knew he was in the wrong and ruffled his hair in annoyance, “Have you gone to see my parents?”
Your parents have been waiting for you to come home. During your absence, Olivia has been doing whatever she wants at home. You insisted on marrying her, but now you leave her and your parents at home while you hide here? Are you even a man, Leo?”
Leo’s clothes were worn out but clean. Hearing Maja’s words; he was also somewhat angry.
“Can’t you just pretend you never saw me? I’m not a man! I shouldn’t have been born in this world!”
Seeing his defiant attitude, Maja frowned deeply.
“You should go home and see them. Your parents are expecting your call every day. Olivia…”
“Don’t mention that woman!”
Leo continued to tug at his hair anxiously, glancing into the ward.
“I can’t afford that gentleman’s medical bills, you called me a beggar, now that you’re okay, I’m leaving.”
He got up, ready to leave.
“Leo!”

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....
