Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 109

Maja had spent the whole night in the hospital corridor, never expecting she'd wake up to such accusations. She clenched her lips, a bitter sting in her heart. Just as she was about to snap back, she heard Neil coughing.

His coughing was bad. Maja quickly grabbed a tissue from nearby and handed it to him, only to see spots of blood on it. Neil saw it too, looking somewhat startled, his brows furrowing. But he didn't seem overly worried, thinking he was just upset.

"Maja, I know you're not into Ian. Didn't you have a boyfriend back in college?"

Maja didn't respond, all she could think about was the blood-stained tissue. She had asked the doctors not to tell Neil the truth, so he had been under the impression that he would recover soon.

Without getting a response from her, Neil felt a little regretful.

"I was too greedy. I built this company from the ground up, and now I can't let go. Back then, Holden liked you a lot, and marrying Ian wouldn't be a bad idea. You should know how many women in Greenfield want to be with Ian, and if you could be his wife, I could rest in peace even after I'm gone."

"Dad..." Maja tried to stop him.

"Even if I can't make it in the future, and the company goes under, you'll still have a safety net. I'll give you ten percent of the shares later, so you and Cristina don't have to fight over this anymore."

Neil's old trick was to give some sweet talk after a good persuasion. Maja couldn't hate him directly, especially when he was on his deathbed.

"Maja, learn to get along with Ian. As for your college boyfriend, you don't even know who he is, and he didn't even tell you. How could he really like you."

Maja felt exhausted, gave a few perfunctory replies, and just sat there.

Meanwhile, Carter stood respectfully on the other side of the bed until he heard the sound of rain outside and asked.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, did you bring an umbrella?"

Maja shook her head, poured a cup of warm water for Neil, her eyes full of exhaustion.

"Dad, take your medicine before you look at the documents."
