Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97 

He scowled a bit, but didn’t think too much of it. He turned and walked over to the table nearby and continued reading his work emails. 

The next morning, he was up very early, and Maria brought him his breakfast lan glanced around the living room but didn’t see the lady of the house. 

Maria seemed to know what he was looking for and quickly explained 

“Ms. Pennyfeather was a bit tired yesterday, and she asked me not to wake her up this morning 

lan remembered Neil’s hospitalization She probably came back from the hospital last night 

But wasn’t Neil just faking his illness? 

His expression was cold as he slowly ate his breakfast and then got into the car parked outside 

On his first night at Rosewood Manor, he didn’t see his wife whom he hadn’t seen in three years. He wasn’t sure if she was restraining herself or deliberately trying to get his attention. If it was the latter, she might have chosen the wrong method. He wasn’t interested in her. 

He would never be interested in her 

Upon arriving at the Raymond Corporation, lan gave Jeff an order “Buy some gifts and go visit Neil at lunch.” 

Jeff nodded in understanding. 

Back at Rosewood Manor, Maria waited until lan left before knocking on Maja’s door, who had already finished her morning routine and was waiting for Maria to come get her. “Has he left?” 

“Yes, he just left.” 

Maja then went downstairs. 

If you’re avoiding lan because of Selena, do you want me to tell Holden?” 

“No need, Maria. I don’t consider you an outsider, so I won’t hide it from you. I don’t like lan. I did marry him because of the three million dollars in financing. If Selena doesn’t like me because of this, it’s normal. Once Holden recovers, I’ll divorce lan.” 

Maria had nothing to say, so she just nodded. 

After finishing her breakfast, Maja picked up the gift for Holden and planned to go to the old house. 

Holden was living alone in the old house now, with many help and doctors around. 

Perhaps because he had returned to his homeland, Holden’s spirits were high. When he saw Maja, he excitedly stood up with the aid of his cane. “Maja you’re finally here.” 

Maja’s face showed a hint of guilt as she quickly walked over. 

“Grandpa, I’m sorry. My dad suddenly fell ill yesterday and I didn’t realize that I had missed the pick–up time. This is the gift I brought.” 

The gift Maja gave to the old man was not bought from outside. After all, at Holden’s position, there was nothing he couldn’t buy. 

What she gave was a painting she drew herself. She was a bit embarrassed when she gave it to him.. 

“I heard before that you always liked Journey, so I tried to complete the missing half. I hope you will like it.” 

Holden had always lamented that the Journey painting he collected was only half complete. Yet even so, it still didn’t affect its status as a masterpiece. Now that Maja had completed the other half, his eyes immediately lit up. 

“How could I laugh at you? I’ve always acknowledged your painting skills. Otherwise, Herbert wouldn’t have taken you as his disciple.” 

Herbert was the representative of oil painting of the day, and his only student was Maja. However, Maja was a very low–profile person, so she had never publicly announced this. Actually, Herbert and Holden were old friends, and Maja had helped Holden before. So he really liked her, which was why he had previously planned for Maja to marry lan. Holden couldn’t wait to unroll the painting. 

The painting only showed four people sitting on a luxurious rug, with servants attending to them on the side. The surroundings were filled with rocks and trees, making it look very elegant. But this painting originally had seven people, and the other three had been lost.
