Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 117

She gingerly held onto the car door and slowly settled herself inside.

Her knees and ankles were throbbing with pain, but she bit down on it, maintaining her polite and aloof demeanor towards Ian.

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Raymond."

The faint smell of blood lingered in the air.

After saying that, she worried about disturbing Ian's work, so she quietly sat in the corner and kept silent.

From the moment she got into the car, Ian’s gaze had been fixed on her knees.

Her knees were still bleeding, a long wound visible, and her ankles were red and swollen.

If it had been any other woman, they might have lost control of their expressions due to the pain.

However, Maja just took a small, quiet breath and kept her gaze focused ahead.

The car quickly passed by where Connie was. Coco, who was with Connie, was too conspicuous for Ian to miss.

He couldn't help but ask Maja, "Where were you rushing off to?"

The last time he saw her, she seemed very attached to the little dog. Why would she suddenly hand the dog over to Connie and run in the other direction?

And Maja hadn't answered his question yet. Did she live there?

But wasn't her apartment quite far from here?

Maja knew that Ian was not clear about her identity, so she had long calmed down and stuck to her previous excuse.

"The street is beautiful and great for dog walking, but I don’t live there. The villas there are said to be expensive. I rented a house nearby, but I’m soon moving to a new place.”

Ian squinted his eyes, "Renting?" he asked.

Despite knowing that housing prices have been high in recent years, Maja's design fees were also not small. She had been working for many years and should not need to rent.

Moreover, she and her husband had been working hard and should have been able to afford the down payment.

“I was surprised when I saw your car. I didn’t expect you to be in this area.”

Maja skillfully changed the topic and started asking Ian.

"Hmm."

Ian didn't say much. He didn't want to talk too much about the woman in Rosewood Manor.

They were almost at the hospital. Maja opened the car door and tried to hobble out, but her foot was hurting too badly. She tried several times but couldn't stand up.

She rarely had such awkward moments. She took a deep breath, ignored the wound on her knee, and tried to get out of the car directly.
