Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 891

Chapter 891 

Darlene thought that spilling those beans would make Maja furious. 

There were quite a few people hanging around the reception desk, so if Maja lost her cool, it would be really awkward. 

Darlene’s face was already plastered with a smug grin, but all she saw was Maja giving her a once–over before asking, “How many times have you bragged about that one–night stand with lan now?” 

Darlene’s smugness froze, not really getting what Maja meant. 

“Maja, what are you on about?” 

Darlene didn’t address Maja as Mr. Pennyfeather, instead, she called her by her first name. 

Maja chuckled. “I’m wondering if you and lan only ever had that one night. 

Darlene’s face turned beet red. To be honest, she didn’t even spend a night with lan. 

That night was all about lan getting hammered and her taking advantage of it. 

She didn’t know why she had such an easy time fooling him; maybe she was just lucky. 

Now, facing Maja’s mockery, Darlene was tongue–tied. 

Maja tucked her hair behind her ears. 

“You only spent one night with lan, that’s why you can’t help but flaunt it in front of me. I’ve had countless nights with him, but did you ever see me showing off? You said he’s tired of me, well, I’m kind of tired of him too, so there’s no need to make a big fuss about it. If he wants to spend money to please you, that’s his business. The role for the new Star Movie Group production has already been decided. If I remember correctly, I was the one who cut you out. Turns out, I was pretty wise.” 

Maja’s words left Darlene in a pretty sticky spot, with Maja’s ‘you only had one night with him‘ echoing in her head. 

Her face turned paler, struggling to find any comebacks. 

It wasn’t until Maja was out of sight that Darlene, fuming, clenched her fists. 

This was not okay. She had to get back at Maja and she couldn’t just take this lying down! 

She took a deep breath, her eyes burning with resentment. 

Lately, even her friends had been laughing behind her back, thinking that lan would ever take a shine to her. 

She had to find a way to get lan to go out for dinner with her, then she could show off in front of those women. Who knew how many would be green with envy then. 

She looked down at her belly. If she had a baby, her status would surely go up. Suddenly, she had a plan, her eyes filled with determination! 

She was going to marry into the Raymond family no matter what and then Maja would be toast! 

Over the next two days, Maja was swamped with work. 

She didn’t know lan had gone to North America, and all her calls to him went unanswered. 

During this time, she also made several calls to Jeff, wanting to bring Coco back, but he kept saying he wasn’t at Greenfield Gardens. 

Maja had no choice but to work and rest. 

But at night, when she was lying in bed, she couldn’t help but think back to the night she was rescued. 

Even though the voice had changed a bit, it still felt familiar. 

The first time, she could chalk it up to a hallucination or wishful thinking. 

But this was the second time. 

Thinking about it, she was even more eager to see Coco. 

Maja got dressed, preparing to head to Greenfield Gardens again. 

However, on her way there, she ran into Cornelia Sullivan, who had just gotten off work. 

It was already two in the morning, and Cornelia was only just finishing work. 

Maja parked her car by the side of the road, seeing Cornelia waiting alone for a taxi. 

The night wind was cold, and Cornelia was shivering. 

It was hard to get a cab at this time, so Maja had no choice but to pull up in front of Cornelia. 

“Cornelia, why are you going home so late?” 

Cornelia looked surprised when she saw Maja, clearly a bit awkward. 

“Mr. Pennyfeather.” 

“I’ll give you a ride home.” 

“Mr. Pennyfeather, it’s not necessary. You’ve only just been discharged from the hospital.” 

Seeing Cornelia so adamant, Maja could only sigh. 

“Just text me when you get home.” 

Cornelia smiled at her and said, “Alright.” 

As Maja drove to Greenfield Gardens, she was surprised to find Darlene at the gate. 

Did no one need to sleep tonight? 

Frowning, she lost interest in looking for Coco and drove straight home. 

Cornelia, on the other hand, waited for another half hour at the gate before a fancy car pulled up in front of her.
