Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 498

Chapter 498 

When Carol set her eyes on lan, they just about popped out of her head. Then, spotting Carlene next to him, her smile dropped a notch. 

Carlene was no stranger to Carol, after all, the Millers, running a diamond business, were legit blue blood. 

“Ms. Miller” 

Carlene greeted her politely. Carol played deaf and turned her attention to lan 

lan, however, didn’t spare Carol a glance and walked past her. 

A sense of relief washed over Carlene. She nodded at Carol, then hurried to catch up with lan 

Carol snapped a picture of their retreating figures. The flash was still on, and at the moment she pressed the shutter, the whole space seemed to light up. 

lan stopped in his tracks, tuming to look at Carol, his eyes as cold as an iceberg. 

“Delete that 

Carol’s heart pounded. She straightened her neck and said, “No way, I’m sending this to Maja, your wife” 

At the mention of his wife’s name, lan’s brow furrowed, and he finally looked Carol in the eye. 

“Do you know Maja?” 

“Of course, we’re good friends.” 

tan let out a chuckle. “Seems like Ms. Miller didn’t teach you well.” 

Carol’s face stiffened. “What do you mean?” 

Carlene chimed in, “What lan means is that being friends with someone like her is beneath you” 

Carol was instantly pissed off. 

These two were thick as thieves! 

lan didn’t give her another look and walked away 

Carlene deliberately lagged behind, turning to Carol 

lan and I came to the hospital this late because I needed a check–up.” 

She intentionally caressed her stomach. 

“Still, I hope you won’t tell your friend about this. I’m not sure what to do yet.” 

With Carlene’s vague words, touching her belly, and coming to the hospital late at night with lan, Carol quickly caught on. 

She stared disbelievingly at Carlene’s stomach 

Was Carlene pregnant? 

Carlene gave a small smirk, not giving Carol a chance to ask, and walked away. 

Carol stood there, fuming. After some thought, she decided to call Maja night away 

It was ten o’clock at night. Maja was already asleep, but she picked up the call in a daze 

“Carol.” 

“Maja, oh my god, how can you sleep? That witch, Carlene, is pregnant with lan’s baby They’re at the hospital getting a check–up!” 

Maja jolted awake, her sleepiness instantly gone. She was wide awake now. 

Carol was still ranting on the other end. 

“That jerk, he’s only good–looking. I can’t believe I had such poor judgment. He’s ditching a beautiful woman like you and getting that hypocritical woman pregnant!” Maja suddenly found it hard to breathe. Her body started to ache. 

It was not lan she cared about, but the baby that was forcefully aborted. 

Maja felt like her heart was on fire. Her hand clutched the bedsheet tightly. 

What humiliated her the most was that she never really felt the presence of that baby. 

She had looked up information about painless abortions. Medical technology these days was indeed advanced. An operation could be completed in just ten minutes, and the patient could leave the hospital right after 

It was so fast that she didn’t even realize the existence of her baby. 

Except for that pregnancy test stick showing two lines. 

Maja suddenly felt like throwing up. The anger and nausea mixed together, making her unable to catch her breath. 

She rushed to the sink and started retching, 

Heaning Moja’s vomiting on the phone, Carol became alert. “Are you sick? I’m sorry: I shouldn’t have told you this news!
