Chapter 234
Maja smiled and nodded, “Alright, catch you later.”
With that, she spun around and left.
lan stood there, gazing at her retreating figure. After a few seconds, Fannie tugged at his sleeve
“lan, what are you staring at?”
Instead of answering, he turned and headed towards Riverside Haven
Maja hailed a cab to Daly’s place and found a bunch of people already there, including the neighbours, all gossiping about Leo
The door was shut tight, with Daly and Susan holed up inside.
There were a few beefy guys outside holding sticks looking like they were ready to lay a siege
Maja approached one of the stick wielding dudes. He was a big guy, with bulging muscles on his arms that looked ready to burst at any moment
“Hey, what’s going on? What did Leo do? Why are you all giving them the stink eye?”
The guy didn’t expect such a pretty lady to pop a question like that, so he answered.
“This chicken shit hit the boss’s son. Kid had to get a good twenty stitches on his head. The boss sold they gotta pay, but they’re all hiding in the house like cowards. Guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
Maja didn’t think Leo’s parents were cowards, but they did overprotect him, which was a big part of the problem.
But that’s how it goes in Crystalbrook Valley. Sons are everything to parents, their retirement plan pretty much.
Even if their son messes up big time, he’s still their golden boy.
The locals here don’t expect much from their sons, just that they get hitched. But they have sky-high expectations for their daughters,
Maja gave the guy a small smile, her face calm.
“Look, how about we all cool our jets? I’ll get Leo out here, we’ll sort things out. Your boss just wants a solution, right? He didn’t tell you guys to get physical, did he?”
The guy snorted, “Fine, get him out here then!”
Maja went up to the door and knocked, “Daly, Susan.”
Daly and Susan were inside, and hearing Maja’s voice was like a lifeline
“Maja!”
Susan rushed to the door but didn’t dare open it when she saw the bruisers still outside.
“Susan, open the door. If there’s a misunderstanding, we’ll clear it up face to face.”
Susan glanced at Leo, who was smoking in the corner, sighed, and opened the door, trusting Maja.
“Maja, you’re finally back.”
Spotting Leo in the corner, Maja was livid, “Leo, you’re a man. Stand up to the plate. What are you doing hiding behind your parents? If you had the guts to do it, why don’t you have the balls to own up?”
Leo’s hand jittered, he was fuming.

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....
