Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1861

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the two men outside, deep in conversation, entered the room.

Both men seemed calm enough.

Augus settled into an armchair and asked, "How's Maja doing? I heard she had a rough time with morning sickness a while back?"

"She's fine now, as you said, that was before."

Beck answered, his gaze shifting to the doctor.

He didn't change his form of address, fearing it might be awkward for both, "Doctor, please, have a seat."

The conversation that followed revolved around their recent shared experiences, discussing Augus's health and Ian's recovery.

The three Sanders men avoided discussing the events of the past years, not wanting to exclude the doctor and possibly make him uncomfortable.

In that moment, there was an unspoken understanding among them all.

Over at Greenfield Gardens, Ian trailed behind Maja, watching her pore over the secret level Beck had sketched out on paper.

He couldn't help himself and tugged at her sleeve.

"He's coming over soon, right? Do you think he'll like the gift I picked out?"

Ian's gift ranged from fine art to rare, priceless vintage wines, stopping just short of handing over shares in the Raymond Corporation, a testament to his sincerity.

"He'll love it, don't be nervous."

How could Ian not be nervous, his palms were sweaty.

When the gatekeeper announced the arrival of their guest, Ian immediately stood up and went to wait by the living room door.

A Maybach glided up to the house, with Beck still behind the wheel.

As the car stopped at the curb and Augus stepped out, his gaze fell on Maja and his eyes instantly reddened.

The usually stoic man opened and closed his mouth several times, struggling to find the right words.

In the end, it was Beck who clapped him on the shoulder.

"Dad, let's go inside."

Augus nodded, his expression turning stern as his eyes met Ian's, even uttering a cold huff.

It seemed he wasn't too pleased with Ian, particularly the matter of his second marriage, a thorn in everyone's side.
