Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 121

He pursed his lips and pressed the answer button with his uninjured hand. When he was thinking about how to speak, Holden's words of comfort came from the other end of the phone. "Ian, you did a great job this time,, you've really grown up. If you can't make it tonight, forget it. I won't blame you this time."

Ian squinted his eyes, puzzled by why he would say something like that.

Every time his grandpa called him before, they always ended up talking about Maja, but tonight, his grandpa didn't seem to have that plan.

Was it because of the big acquisition deal he just closed?

Grandpa rarely cared about the business, and after he handed over the Raymond Corporation to him, he had been in the hospital for treatment, living a cushy retirement life.

Aside from that acquisition, Ian really couldn't think of anything else he had done that would make grandpa so pleased, so he naturally continued:

"Grandpa, it's my job, and I'll keep pushing."

But to Holden, this sentence meant something else.

He was actually not in a good mood because when he told Ian to pick up Maja, Ian seemed reluctant and said he had to work overtime.

Was work more important than his granddaughter-in-law?

Holden had been waiting for Ian and Maja to arrive so he could formally introduce Maja to everyone else.

Over the years, they had made Maja feel uncomfortable more than once, and even now, many people didn't know who she was.

Since she had married into the Raymond family, they couldn't let others bully her any longer.

So when he saw that Ian was late, Holden was very angry, but now hearing this good news, he was relieved to think that his grandson had finally come to his senses.

"Ian, I thought you were pulling my leg when you said you'd work hard, turns out I was wrong about you. Keep up the good work."

Ian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was rare for the old man to pay attention to the company's business, and he didn't mention that woman, his mood was somewhat calmed.

"I know."

After hanging up the phone, Holden looked much more spirited, more effective than any good medicine.

Looks like by the end of this year, he could have a great-grandson.

He was completely oblivious to the fact that he and Ian were talking about two different things.

Ian watched the doctor continue to stitch up the wound.

Outside the door, Maja was looking at Leo sitting aside, her face very serious.
