Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1601

Zoey heard the news that Wendy had gone abroad the next day.

Cornelia thought she'd be somewhat relieved, but Zoey's eyes remained calm, fixed outside the window. After a long silence, she hummed a soft acknowledgment.

She had gotten thinner; her chin sharper, more delicate. At night, she'd still call out in her sleep, "Ozzy."

She couldn't bear to think about how Ozzy had died. The mere thought filled her with self-loathing for her incompetence.

Cornelia was worried about her mental state and suggested getting a therapist.

"There's really no need; it's just some aches and pains. A good rest will do."

Zoey was sent back at home; the dog food remained untouched, and the water bowl was still full, but Ozzy was gone.

Fearing she'd break down in front of Cornelia, Zoey forced a smile at once.

"Cornelia, you've put off filming for too long. Go back to the set. Don't worry; I'll take good care of myself at home."

Cornelia nodded, but still advised, "I've instructed the property management. Unless it's someone from Star Movie Group and they've been thoroughly vetted and have the homeowner's permission, they can't enter. This won't happen again."

Zoey managed another smile, "I got it."

But the smile looked more painful than tears.

After Cornelia left, everything in the house felt alien to Zoey. Still unwell, she was confined to her home for recovery. Lying in bed, she took out her phone and discovered that Fitch had unblocked her; she could see his Facebook updates again.
