Chapter 407
Tricia stood there, laughing her head off, and told her.
“Neil is giving me twenty percent of the shares, and you must manage the Penny feather group. I just sit back and collect money. You didn’t see that coming, did you? You’ve been played. Pretty pathetic. Decades of companionship can’t beat blood ties.”
“Maja, no one talks about you, including lan.”
Maja didn’t give her the time of day and just drove off.
She looked at Tricia in the rearview mirror, knowing that, in this moment, Tricia had totally won.
Tricia was right. She’d been used.
But the debt of raising her and Lillian’s kindness left her speechless.
On the drive back to RosenGarden, she got a phone call.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, hello, there’s a gift from a few years back that was specifically meant to be delivered today. Can I get your address? I’ll send someone over tight away.”
A gift from a few years ago?
She gave her address and then went back to RosenGarden with Coco.
Half an hour later, a gift box arrived.
She signed for it and closed the door.
The box was wooden and a bit old.
Some people made a living off this. Some rich folks even sent stuff to their future selves, like a time capsule.
But Maja was sure she never sent anything to herself.
She glanced at the combination lock, guessed and entered her birthday, and it opened.
Inside the box was a notebook, a letter, and a ring:
Maja, if this has reached you, today should be your birthday. Happy birthday. I once said I’d be with you for every birthday, but I couldn’t make it. Are you crying by the lake again? You must have looked for me at Solstice College, and cursed me for being a liar. I promised you once you got into Solstice College, I’d be your boyfriend. But now I might be dust in someplace. Don’t be sad for me. I’ve just become every drop of rain that accompanies you. Accept this ring, don’t worry. It’s not an engagement ring, just a birthday gift. You’re probably married by now. I hope you have a wonderful marriage and a husband who adores you. Maja, across six years of time, I don’t know if you remember me. I’m glad I didn’t tell you my real name, so that you won’t be sad. To you, it’s just a stranger who’s disappeared.
Maja’s fingers trembled slightly at the sight of the handwriting, and the letter fell to the ground.
She picked it up again and read it slowly.
After reading, she opened the notebook.
But the notebook was blank. Only a small chip was stuck on a piece of paper in the middle, the size of a thumbnail.
She didn’t know what the chip was for and closed the notebook again.
Then she realized her cheeks were wet.
She’d rather he abandoned her, not like he said, turned to dust somewhere.
He was still so young.
Maja wiped away her tears. Maybe there were too many heartbreaking things today which made her feel like her heart was being crushed.
She called the person, wanting to know who sent the gift.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, I’m sorry, the gentleman didn’t leave any information, just this little box.”

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....
