Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 399

Chapter 399 

She already knew about lan’s attitude towards his wife, and a hint of contempt flashed in Carlene’s eyes. 

That woman didn’t even deserve to have a name. 

Carlene pretended to kindly advise, “If she gets divorced, it won’t be easy for her to remarry, especially since she’s been kicked out of the Raymond family.” 

“What does that have to do with me?” 

lan’s face showed impatience, and he hopped into the car waiting outside. 

Carlene followed him into the car, trying to show her magnanimity. 

“Are you going to give her a share of the property?” 

lan scoffed. 

Wasn’t what the Pennyfeather family got from the Raymond family enough? 

Add Rosewood Manor to that, and the woman should be glad she was Grandpa Holden’s pet. Otherwise, how could she sell it at this price? 

Whenever he mentioned that woman, his face would darken. 

Firstly, Holden Raymond was pushing him too hard. He had been abroad for two days, and Holden had already called three times, all asking why he hadn’t brought Maja with him. 

Even before his flight back, Holden still asked if they had been fighting. 

lan didn’t like others meddling in his private affairs, and if it weren’t for Holden’s coughing, he would have hung up. 

Anyone pushed too hard would rebel. 

Just as he was about to tell Jeff to drive to the hotel, Holden called again. 

“lan, tomorrow is Maja’s birthday. Remember to prepare a gift.” 

lan’s face immediately darkened, and he took a deep breath. 

“I got it.” 

Holden was satisfied with his compliance. His health had deteriorated recently, and he hadn’t even left the house. Otherwise, he could have visited Rosewood Manor. 

“Maja had a tough childhood. You better put thought into this gift.” 

“Alright.” 

After hanging up, lan lifted his head and gave Jeff an order. 

“Prepare a birthday gift. Deliver it to the Pennyfeather family tomorrow.” 

Jeff thought for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask, “Should I look into Ms. Pennyfeather’s preferences?” 

A hint of irritation crossed lan’s face, “No, just make sure it’s expensive.”

Carlene, overhearing this, was somewhat displeased, as if it was her money being spent. 

She couldn’t help but interject, “lan, no need to bother Jeff. I’m going shopping later anyway. I’ll pick up. Girls know what girls like. Saves you from getting scolded by Grandpa Holden.” 

lan didn’t have Maja in his heart, so he agreed. 

Carlene grinned triumphantly. After parting with Ian, she had a divorce agreement printed. 

She also prepared a gift box and put the divorce agreement in it. 

She handed it to the courier, who would deliver it to the Penny feather family tomorrow evening. 

As for Maja, if it weren’t for Carol Miller’s reminder, she would have nearly forgotten her own birthday. 

Before, Neil Pennyfeather would celebrate with her, but since Neil married Cristina Perkins, no one remembered her birthday. 

Even she often forgot. 

“Maja, my father wants me to travel abroad with him tomorrow. I suspect it’s another meet and greet with his friend’s son. Therefore, I won’t be able to celebrate your birthday with you. So, I’m picking you up tonight. We’re going to BlueSky Bar. Start getting ready. I’m on my way.” 

When Maja saw the message, she barely had the energy to put on makeup. She felt drained by lan. 

But she didn’t want to disappoint Carol. 

Over the years, Carol had been the only one to celebrate her birthday with her, carefully preparing gifts and surprises each year.. 

She forced herself to perk up and started applying makeup. 

Two days had passed, but the marks on her neck were still clearly visible. She covered them repeatedly with concealer. 

Carol sent another message: “Remember to wear the white slip dress I bought you!”
