Chapter 302
She instantly loosened up from being tense, and her discomfort dissipated as they fell back into the same interaction mode as when they first met.
“That neighbor finally moved out; I’ve been sleeping like a baby lately.”
lan reopened his file, “That’s good then.”
Sitting beside them, Connie kept glancing back and forth between them, sensing they had some coded conversation.
“Penny, lan has to stick with Carlene later. After we get off, come hang out with me; the scenery there is nice. Even though I’m loaded, I don’t get to hang out with everyone often. If you’re uncomfortable, just follow me for some food therapy.”
Connie really liked Maja; she drew well, was pretty, and had a great personality.
If only she were lan’s wife.
Unfortunately, his heart belonged to Carlene,
Carlene seemed okay, but she was not Penny.
With Connie’s presence, Maja felt more at ease.
As soon as the car stopped, there stood a figure outside; it was Carlene.
Carlene looked weak, her eyes still a bit red.
“lan.” She called out softly from outside with a hint of a sob in her voice.
It was awkward for Maja, and it seemed like Carlene was here to seek comfort from lan after being humiliated by Holden at Rosewood Manor.
The car door opened, and as Carlene saw Maja inside, her face instantly turned sour. She couldn’t help but scoff.
“Penny, did you find my cat?”
At this point, Connie was pulling Maja away, her tone a bit naive.
“Carlene, what cat?”
“She lost my cat.”
Carlene’s eyes were sharp; she felt uncomfortable seeing Connie and Maja getting along well.
“Connie, how do you know her?”
Connie and Carlene weren’t on great terms; she preferred Maja.
“Penny helped me with my drawings a few times, she’s really good at it, so I brought her along for the food fest tonight.”
Carlene pursed her lips, she had warned Maja to locate her missing cat as soon as possible, or there would be consequences.
However, after being humiliated by Holden at Rosewood Manor, she had forgotten all about it and had an emotional breakdown in her room. Upon seeing Maja, her tone turned even more colder.
“That cat of mine was expensive.”
Maja found it amusing, her tone nonchalant.
“So what?”
Carlene was fuming, “What do you mean by that?”
“Ms. Shepard, I’ve told you before, I didn’t lose your cat. Your servant feared you’d blame her, so she pointed the finger at me. You just didn’t believe me.”
“Carlene, there must be a misunderstanding. Penny’s a good person; you should go home and ask your servant about it. And if your cat’s missing, why are you here? You don’t seem to care that much about the cat.”
Carlene was furious, her eyes welling up; she looked at lan beside her.

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....
