Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1231

Ryan made a little detour to grab some stuff from the local store before planning to head over to check on his cousin, Ian.

He had a mere $300 left in his wallet. It was money that he had earned himself, a significant change from his previous lifestyle of being a trust fund kid. This was the only money he had ever made.

He spent $200 to buy a bottle of wine for Ian. He knew that it was not a brand that Ian would typically prefer, but it was the best he could afford at the moment.

His partner's voice echoed from the side, "Weren't you planning to use that $300 to rent a place? You won't find something in Greenfield for less than $100 a month. And you don't want to share, so you're looking at least at $300 for a place in the outskirts."

Ryan, clutching the wine bottle, had already slid into his car.

"I have to spend it. Ian has always been good to me. He's always been the best to me ever since we were kids."

His partner, dressed in a black leather jacket with several piercings adorning his ear, looked rebellious and cool as he joined Ryan in the car.

"People say Ian is a bit of a wild card. I didn't expect that."

Rolling his eyes, Ryan retorted, "Only those who know him well can appreciate his goodness."

The car pulled up outside the villa. Ryan got out and quickly approached the entrance.

Once he explained his intentions, the staff let him in.

Ryan was a little dumbfounded.

But as he pushed open the door to the sitting room, and saw Ian sitting on the couch, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

There was a movie playing in front of Ian. He probably hadn't expected any visitors.

He was holding a cigarette between his fingers, and the ashtray on the coffee table was filled with butts. It was hard to tell how many he had smoked.

"Ian."

Ryan called out, placing the bottle of wine on the coffee table.

"I brought you a gift. Heard you've been feeling down lately."

Ian's eyes were bloodshot. He glanced at the wine bottle and seemed to guess what was going on.
