Chapter 450
lan pushed the pedal to the metal, not even having the time to ponder why he was feeling so anxious and even a bit scared.
The journey that usually took an hour, he managed to finish in just forty minutes. But he had barely covered any distance when he heard a noise behind
him.
It turned out that a massive boulder had rolled down and blocked the road. The way back was interrupted.
Still, he didn’t stop. He continued driving towards Riverfield.
Visibility was next to none on the road. He practically bulldozed his way through every obstacle until he reached the cottage. He spotted the car parked outside right away.
He quickly got out of the car and knocked on the door of the other car.
Maja was slumped over the steering wheel, clearly shaken.
She had been left alone in the car in the midst of a tornado, with the wind battering against the windows and growing louder by the minute. “Penny!”
lan knocked on the window again.
Maja heard someone calling her name faintly. She quickly turned around and saw lan–outside the window. She was so surprised, she could hardly believe her eyes. She hastily opened the car door.
But before she could even speak, a gush of wind filled her mouth with sand.
She was coughing nonstop.
lan quickly pulled her out of the car, shut the car door, and’unlocked the cottage door with the keys.
Once the heavy door was shut, the noise of the wind was completely blocked out.
Maja wasn’t used to such situations, so she kept coughing; her face even got dirty. When she wiped her face with a tissue, it came off covered in dust.
lan was no better.
Maja coughed for a minute and then suddenly remembered something. She quickly grabbed lan’s arm, checked him over, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw he was alright.
“Mr. Raymond, you’re really playing with fire.”
lan frowned at her comment.
“Do you think I came from the villa?”
Maja did think so.
lan lowered his gaze. “I was only a mile away from you.”
Only then did Maja realize.
Then she said, “Still, it’s too risky to go out in this kind of weather.”
Before she could finish her sentence, he interrupted her, saying, “Oh, now you realize it’s risky?”
Maja was silent for a while, then finally managed to say, “I was worried about you.”
If anything happened to him, the Raymond family would definitely not let her off the hook.
But now it was lan who was silent.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a bit uncomfortable, and pushed her away a bit, saying, “Go wash your face.”
Maja nodded and quickly went to the faucet to wash off the dust on her face and rinse her mouth with clean water.
After washing, she sat down on a chair nearby.
“Mr. Raymond, you should also wash your face.”
lan was in a sorry state; his suit was covered in dust, and so was his face.
He went to the faucet and cleaned the dust off his face.
But there were definitely no fresh clothes here. After all, this cottage was only recently cleaned up by the heads of Crystalbrook Valley.
Before, it had only water and electricity.
This 50–square–meter place felt unusually warm in the middle of a tornado.
After washing his face, he sat down on a chair and looked at Maja.
Neither of them knew what to say, and outside the window, the sky had already changed, filled with dust and sand.
Maja went to the window, breaking the awkward silence in the room.

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....
