Chapter 620
lan took two hits. Noticing Holden was still coughing, and he immediately patted his back.
“You gotta take care of yourself, man.”
Holden’s body stiffened instantly, and he slammed his cane to the ground with a thud, sighing, “Get lost, just get lost.”
He’s been pissed off a lot tonight, and just stepped away from passing out.
lan moved to leave, but Holden lightly poked him in the back with his cane.
“That thing about your brother, if you can figure it out, great. If not, leave it be. The living ones always matter most. Your Mom and Grandma’s hearts are just biased.”
lan nodded, then repeated his words.
“Grandpa, you should take care of yourself more.”
“Why do you think I want you to marry Maja? She doesn’t have those complex thoughts. After marrying you, she’ll be true to you. You need someone by your side.”
Otherwise, he wouldn’t rest easy even in death.
lan furrowed his brows, knowing that Holden was preparing for the worst.
“Grandpa, I should find someone I truly like.”
‘Does she like you?”
Holden was just asking casually but noticed lan falling silent.
After a while, he said, “I’m not quite sure what liking someone really means. From my childhood till now, nobody’s taught me that, right?”
From Selena, he learned madness.
From Steve Raymond, he learned obsession.
In the army, he learned how to survive, but nobody taught him what it means to like someone.
Holden didn’t say anything else, just waved his hand dismissively.
When lan got back to the car, Maja calmly stepped on the gas.
The atmosphere in the car was awkward. He took out a cigarette to smoke but put it back thinking, she was there.
“Penny.”
It was a red light at that moment. Maja responded and turned to look at him.
He asked, “What do you think of my personality?”
His expression had already lost the desolation he had when he just left the old house, one hand propped on the window frame.
Tough, domineering, not gentle to women, vengeful.
Those were what Maja wanted to say, but if she did, he’d get pissed.
“Mr. Raymond is quite nice.”
lan knew she was just fobbing him off. This woman seemed obedient but was actually very stubborn.
“Really? What’s so good about me?”
“Rich, handsome.”
These were the most obvious pros, but what else?
She couldn’t think of anything now, so she pretended to focus on driving.
Upon reaching the hotel, she parked the car and pressed the elevator up button for lan.
Jan pulled her into the elevator, “What’s the rush? Nobody is waiting for you at home.”
Maja was dragged directly into his arms, noticing he pressed the button for their floor.
“Make the bed for me, and you’ll have to work overtime with me later. You think being a secretary is a cakewalk?”
Until they entered the room, he took off his suit, hung it on the coat rack nearby, and instructed her.
“Someone’s coming to pick up the clothes later. Remember to hand it over.”
Maja nodded, watching him go into the glass–covered bathroom.
In a while, his suit pants were also handed out.
His beautiful hands were still wet, and with the slow opening of the door, steam drifted out.
Maja was about to take the clothes when she heard him ask, “Can agilawood touch water?”
Maja wasn’t sure, so she quickly searched for it on her phone.
“Mr. Raymond, it can’t.”
So lan handed out the bracelet.

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....
