Chapter 395
“I’m willing to be your company.”
Her voice was filled with joy.
lan stayed silent for a while and put down his coffee cup, “Carlene, I’m not going to the auction.”
He was beating around the bush, but his point was clear. He didn’t need her company.
Carlene’s face turned pale instantly. She knew that arguing wouldn’t help, so she just comforted herself.
“I get it. Is it about the overseas project that needs your personal attention?”
lan nodded and turned on his laptop next to him.
He sent Maja a message.
[Let’s head overseas together tomorrow.]
When Maja received the message, she was at the hospital visiting Nathan. He was insistent on leaving the hospital, so she was handling his discharge and preparing to take him home.
“Don’t you think you should stay in the hospital a bit longer?”
The injury Nathan had was accidental and she felt somewhat guilty.
“Nah, Penny. It’s just a flesh wound. I just got promoted. I lost Mr. Raymond’s cufflinks last time at work, and Mr. Judson wasn’t too happy about it. So, I got to step up my game.”
His face was badly swollen, but he still gave her the money back.
“Here’s the rest of the money.”
“Nathan, just take it.”
Nathan hesitated a bit. He was broke and fond of money. This money would improve his life and help him get a girlfriend.
Eventually, he accepted it.
Maja drove Nathan home.
Nathan’s home was in a remote area, dimmer than the city center.
Maja saw a little girl waiting for Nathan at his doorstep. The girl was on crutches, probably his little sister.
When Nathan got out of the car, the little girl started to cry seeing his face.
He picked her up to comfort her.
That’s when Maja saw lan’s message.
He wanted her to go abroad with him!
She bit her lip nervously and then replied to him.
[Mr. Raymond, I don’t recall being your secretary.]
She still owed him eight services, but that did not include going abroad with him.
Seeing the message, lan’s face darkened, and the atmosphere around him became frosty.
Carlene was still waiting in front of him, feeling his gaze becoming sharp.
She quickly seized the opportunity to speak.
“lan, are you sure you’re not going to the auction? It’s a big one this time. Maybe there will be something Edith likes.”
‘I’ll go.”
“Can I tag along?”
“Fine.”
He sounded indifferent and a bit impatient. He closed the chat window with Maja.
Carlene got the answer she wanted and quickly left.
lan took out his phone and called Maja. She was taking Nathan’s medicine out of the car.
And the little girl in Nathan’s arms was still crying.
Seeing lan’s call, Maja stiffened. After answering, she heard his voice.
“Are you with your husband?”
His question sounded casual.
But Maja felt a sense of danger from it, and she quickly denied it.
“No.”
But as soon as she finished, Nathan spoke.
“Penny.”
14:26
lan naturally heard that and chuckled, “He’s already out of the hospital?”

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....
