Chapter 872
Wilma came rushing in after Shawn left.
When she learned she got a shot at a Hollywood role, she was so thrilled she nearly jumped onto Maja. She kissed the contract passionately, swore to the sky she’d treasure this trust, and then left with tears in her eyes.
Out of the three, Cornelia Sullivan was the calmest.
Cornelia’s hand couldn’t fully clutch‘ things yet. She took ten minutes to read the contract carefully, then signed her name.
When she left, she just gently hugged Maja, not saying a word.
But this left the most profound emotional impact on Maja.
Cornelia’s parents were in the scrap business, and she was once the most loved child in her home. Being cornered by the Casson family, she probably never thought she would have a footing again.
Elvis was right. She was tough, like a rose in the desert.
And she was also very pretty.
When everything was over, it was almost one o’clock,
Maja was exhausted and almost fell asleep on her way back, driven by Zoey.
She thought she’d see’lan in the living room but remembered Maria had called earlier saying lan had moved out.
Well, good. At least no one would bother her now.
She leaned tiredly on the couch, hearing Maria questioning others.
A
“Sure it’s not here? Weird, where could it have gone.”
Maja didn’t even open her eyes, and her throat was a bit hoarse from not drinking for a long time.
“Maria, what’s going on?”
“Coco was missing. We checked the surveillance and sealed the hole from last time. In theory, there’s nowhere it could have gone, but we’ve searched around the villa, no sign of it.”
Maja instantly woke up thinking about the last time Coco was taken by a dog dealer.
After that incident, all possible escape routes around the villa had been reinforced, except for the main gate, but there were guards there. How could it be missing again?
She forced her tired body up.
“Are you sure you’ve searched everywhere? It’s a naughty one, and maybe it’s hiding?”
“We’ve searched everywhere.”
Then, has anyone entered or left Rosewood Manor today?”
“Just Mr. Raymond. If Coco could have escaped, it might have followed his car.”
Maja immediately called lan, but it was close to one in the morning, and lan didn’t pick up.
She had to call Jeff, who did pick up.
“Jeff, did you see Coco when you left Rosewood Manor today?”
Jeff was taken aback. He knew where Coco was, but the boss didn’t allow him to say.
lan was still working in the living room, his phone resting nearby. He heard it when it rang.
He obviously didn’t want to pick up.
“Miss Maja, I’m not sure. Why don’t you call the boss?”
Maja didn’t speak. Ian was probably still upset.
It looked like she’d have to make a trip to Greenfield Gardens herself.
When she got to Greenfield Gardens and stood at the gate, the guard wouldn’t let her in.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Pennyfeather, the boss made it clear you’re not to come in. He also said you don’t need to come in the future.”
Maja had promised Beck not to interact with lan anymore. Now that lan had cut ties with her, it made her feel a bit relieved.
She tried to ignore the sense of loss deep within and asked the guard.
“Have you seen a dog?”
A dog?
The guard suddenly remembered the one at Greenfield Gardens in the afternoon, but the boss had made it clear not to reveal anything.
“I’m sorry, we haven’t seen it.”
Maja stood at the gate for quite a while. After confirming that lan wouldn’t let her in, she returned to Rosewood Manor.
But without finding Coco, she couldn’t rest easy.
She had a feeling that lan knew where Coco was.
If Coco only had that chance to escape, then lan must know.
But now she had offended lan, and he wasn’t willing to tell her.

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....
