Chapter 241
Leo was clearly struggling to wrap his head around this.
Olivia snickered with a mocking grin.
“Forgot already, did ya? You got hammered the night you came home, and we, well, had sex. If I’m carrying a boy, your family’s in for a world of hurt.”
Leo did remember that night, and now he was in a real pickle. If he divorced Olivia, the chances of him finding a wife again were slim to none, let alone someone willing to bear his children. He could very well end up childless. Now that Olivia was knocked up, at least his parents would have
grandchild to comfort them.
Maja was fuming seeing the three of them humming and hawing.
“Are you really okay with her sticking around?”
Truth be told, Leo had already busted Olivia with a side piece. Who knew if the baby she was carrying was even his.
Although Leo himself was no saint, with the house about to be bulldozed and 50 grand in his pocket, the future looked pretty cushy for them. If they let Olivia cause trouble at home, that money would just go down the drain. Neither Susan nor Daly dared to meet Maja’s eyes, she knew what they had decided.
Just then, Olivia started to lay into Maja, pointing her finger at her and cursing
“I don’t know why this good-for-nothing suddenly wants to divorce me, but it’s clear as day you’re stirring the pot, you home-wrecker! Your own house is a mess and yet you stick your nose into ours. Buzz off! We don’t want you here!”
Olivia picked up a glass of water and tossed it at Maja
Caught off guard, Maja got drenched. Neither Daly nor Susan dared to look at her, and Leo just kept his mouth shut. But Maja didn’t lose her temper. She simply grabbed her bag and said calmly. “Sorry for the intrusion.”
They were family after all, but after all she had done, she had not received a word of thanks. She felt very aggrieved.
Susan knew they had gone too far and wanted to go after Maja, but Olivia’s threat stopped her. “If any of you go after that hussy, I’m getting art. abortion tonight!”
That was enough to scare everyone into staying put
Maja walked out of the alley alone, her eyes swollen red, clutching her purse tightly. She was hard-pressed to convey her sense of injustice. She felt as though she was a soulless being.
Maja bought a bouquet of flowers, didn’t go back to her hotel, but went straight to her mother’s grave. The cemetery was a two-hour drive away Maja drove there alone, guided by the light of her phone, carefully climbing the hill
Once she reached the grave, she seemed to find some solace. She bowed her head and placed the flowers on the grave.
It was raining outside, and she felt cold. But maybe because she was already cold inside, she didn’t notice it the whole way there.
Maja couldn’t remember how long her mother had been gone, but since Cristina married her father, she was the only one who visited her
mother’s grave.
She rarely cried, but now her coat was soaked through, and her lips were trembling from the cold.
“Mom, I’m really confused. I don’t understand why I always mess things up. I feel like I’m always the one left behind.”
“If you were still here, no one would say I’m a child without a mother’s love.”
“Mom, I really miss you…
Maja knelt before the grave, silently crying, and speaking her mind.
The last time she visited, Daly was with her and she couldn’t say much. This time, she was like a vulnerable child, pouring her heart out to the one she missed
The wind in the woods was strong, and the rain was getting heavier
Maja stood up, wiped her cheeks, and said, “Mom, there’s a lot waiting for me back in Greenfield. I’ll come back next time.”

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....
