Chapter 435
“Her name’s Maja. Mom, she was handpicked by Holden himself. Even if it pisses off the rest of the Raymond family, her status is rock solid.”
Edith caught the gist and sneered, “Give her a ring; tell her to come over tomorrow. I want to see what’s so special about this woman who married lan.” Edith and Grandpa Holden didn’t really see eye–to–eye. She used to visit home just once a year. But after Eric hit a rough patch, she moved out and never came back.
Edith’s favorite grandchild was Eric; she loved him like the apple of her eye. Towards lan, she was even more of a hardass.
Tomorrow, because tonight the Raymond family was having a dinner party at the Raymond Mansion, and it wouldn’t do to have Maja over and stir the pot. Once Edith’s back, the younger crowd should all come to pay their respects.
But Holden and lan still didn’t show.
The next day, Maja got the memo from the Raymond family to head over to Raymond Mansion. Only then did she find out Edith was back.
never
She’d been married to lan for three years, but she’d never met Edith.
That said, she’d heard from Grandpa Holden that Edith wasn’t exactly a walk in the park.
She picked up the painting Herbert had given her. It was originally intended as a gift for Edith.
When Maja arrived at Raymond Mansion, the doorman rolled his eyes at her.”
This wasn’t Maja’s first rodeo, but every time she came, Selena would give her a piece of her mind. Over time, the doormen started to take their cue from Selena.
Maja didn’t sweat it. She followed the doorman into the hall. Right away, she spotted an old woman in loose clothes. She didn’t look friendly; she was
more stern.
“Grandma Edith.” She greeted respectfully. From the look they exchanged, she knew she wasn’t exactly Edith’s cup of tea.
Edith sized up Maja as if she were shopping for a new product.
“Stand,” Edith commanded.
Maja bowed her head, not daring to sit.
“What’s that you’re holding?” Grandma Edith asked, sipping her tea and giving Maja a sideways glance. Her attitude was snobbish, as if talking to Maja was a gift.
Maja unrolled the painting.
“This is a piece by Master Herbert. I know you’re a fan, so I brought it especially for you.”
She hoped this would put her in Edith’s good graces.
At the mention of Master Herbert, Edith’s eyebrow twitched.
However, when she saw that the painting was identical to the one Carlene had given her, she scoffed.
There was no doubt about it; it must be a fake. After all, Carlene had already given her the real deal..
“Your name is Maja, is it?” Edith asked.
Maja nodded. “Grandma Edith, is there something you need?”
The next second, Edith slammed her teacup down on the coffee table.
“Do you think I’m senile, that I can’t tell a fake from the real thing?” Edith challenged.
Maja furrowed her brow, watching as Edith tossed the painting on the ground.
“Go kneel outside, under the sun. Don’t get up until I say you can.” Edith commanded.

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....
