Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71 

Ian Raymond contemplated shooing the dog away, but then he noticed the white dog barking fiercely at a couple passing by, possible employees from the nearby office building. They were with a child who was scared to tears by the dog’s barking. The lady pulled her child behind her, staring angrily at lan. 

“What’s your deal? Walking your dog without a leash? That’s really irresponsible. What if your dog had bitten my child? Owning a dog comes with responsibilities!” 

Her husband recognizing lan’s air of sophistication and the luxurious car parked behind him, quickly tugged at his wife, urging her to stop. “Alright, enough.” They couldn’t afford to offend someone like this. 

The lady, still concerned for her child, didn’t care about lan’s status at that moment. She huffed while wiping her child’s tears, 

“Think you’re a big shot just because you’re rich? Such a lack of manners!” 

lan frowned and retorted, “This isn’t my dog.” 

As soon as he said this, the dog wagged its tail at him and started circling around him. 

lan’s eyes narrowed, his face turning serious. 

After wiping her child’s tears, the lady retorted, “And you’re still saying it’s not your dog?!” 

Jeff squatted down and checked the dog tag hanging around the dog’s neck. 

‘There’s a phone number on this tag. The dog probably escaped from home. I’ll call its owner right away.” 

Recognizing their sincerity, the lady didn’t cause a scene and left with her child. Jeff promptly made the call. 

Maja Pennyfeather had been looking for Coco outside but to no avail. She was imagining all sorts of scenarios, the worst being Coco getting caught by dog thieves. Coco had a dog tag, so if a passerby found her, they would probably call her. Just as she was lost in her thoughts, her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. 

“Hello,” Maja answered, sounding anxious. 

“Hi, are you the owner of this dog? It’s with us right now. Do you know Raymond Tower? We’re outside the car park of Raymond Tower.” 

In this city, everyone knows about Raymond Tower. 

Maja was puzzled. How did Coco end up there? 

“Okay, thank you. I’ll be there in ten minutes. Can you look after her for a bit? I can pay you for your trouble.” 

Jeff glanced at lan, who was looking at Coco, seemingly deep in thought. Coco was sitting cutely on the ground, her ears twitching up and down. 

Seeing no objection from lan, Jeff nodded, “Alright, we’ll wait for you for ten minutes.” 

Maja didn’t know who had found Coco. She hit the gas and headed straight for the agreed meeting point. 

After ending the call, Jeff gestured towards a nearby coffee shop. “Mr. Raymond, you can sit over there for now. I’ll go buy a leash.” 

lan’s lingered on Coco once again. The dog seemed familiar. However, being allergic to dog fur, he didn’t want to confirm anything. He entered the coffee shop, put on his Bluetooth headset, and started an online meeting. 

Jeff and Coco went to a nearby pet store to buy a leash. Once Coco was secured, they returned to the front of Raymond Tower. 

Though Jeff was not particularly interested in dogs, he acknowledged that Coco was a good-looking dog. Her fur was well-groomed and she was obedient, indicating that her owner took good care of her.
