Chapter 239
“We ought to pick up Leo first and have him apologize at the hospital”
Susan responded immediately, “Alright, let’s get going.”
As Daly and Susan were about to head out, they turned to Olivia. “Oll, you coming with us?”
Olivia, with a sour look on her face, retorted, “Why should I care about that good-for-nothing Leo?”
Susan looked somewhat embarrassed at this but didn’t refute. Listening on the side, Maja felt a spark of anger but knew she couldn’t intervene in the family business.
When she arrived at the police station with Daly and Susan, they could hear Leo wailing even before they stepped in. Hearing this, Susan felt a knot in her stomach. They walked into the lobby to see Leo severely beaten, probably by some brutes on the way to the station. He looked a sorry sight.
“Leo, how are you?” Susan hurried over and took Leo’s hand.
Leo looked helpless and burst into tears.
“Mom, can you get Maja to help me out? I really don’t want to go to jail. I know I messed up.”
Following behind Susan, Maja didn’t feel Leo was truly remorseful, just scared. Who knows how many beatings he’d get if he really ended up
behind bars.
Leo was sobbing pitifully. At the sight of Maja, he almost seemed ready to kneel. “Maja, we used to live in the same house. Please help me out We’re cousins after all,”
Maja had long known Leo was a deadbeat with no dignity. Seeing him like this, she felt irritated.
“Now you regret it, huh? Then why did you start the fight?”
Confronted with this question, Leo’s crying halted.
Maja snorted, “Still don’t want to talk? Then enjoy a few years in jail. I’m done with this.”
“Don’t go! Don’t go!” Leo instinctively grabbed her dress, his face full of humiliation. “Olivia was seducing that guy. I saw them about to sleep together, I couldn’t stand it, and I just lost it.
Maja raised an eyebrow. “You saw it with your own eyes?”
Leo nodded, looking defeated, Daly and Susan on the side fell silent, feeling awkward.
Maja sat down, feeling sorry about the humiliation on Leo’s face. She knew men couldn’t accept such things, especially when they saw it firsthand. Even though Leo had a mistress, it was a blow to his dignity that his wife was cheating.
“Leo, if I help you this time, will you still get into trouble?”
Leo’s tears fell instantly and he fell to his knees. “Maja!”
He said, “Do you think I wanted this? The years I ran away from home, I was always hungry, always cold. The first month, I lived under a bridge ” Hearing this, Susan was shocked and immediately tried to help him up.
“That first year you ran away, Oli said she knew where you were. I gave her the last 10,000 dollars we had and asked her to give it to you. Didn’t she give it to you?”

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....
