Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 136

After she got in the car, she sat into the driver's seat.

Her wound was still throbbing a bit, but it was pretty much healed.

The inside of the car was so quiet it was suffocating, neither of them said a word.

Maja didn't step on the gas right away, but glanced at Ian through the rear-view mirror.

Should they go to Rosewood Manor, or the Raymond family, or maybe to a hotel?

She couldn't figure it out.

"Here's your phone."

She handed Ian his phone.

Taking the phone, Ian saw two new messages and his brows furrowed slightly.

Maja didn't pay attention to whether he had read the messages, but she felt that Ian's mood seemed to have taken a nosedive.

It was like she could sense his irritation before they even had a chance to chat.

Normally, Ian was always calm, but a single text from Carlene was enough to trigger his emotions.

Maja couldn't help but sigh, his feelings for Carlene really ran deep.

"The Raymond family."

He tossed his phone aside without replying to the messages.

Maja didn't ask any further. Just as she was about to drive to the Raymond family, her own phone rang. It was Maria on the line.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, Holden suddenly showed up at Rosewood Manor. He wants you and Mr. Raymond to hurry back."

Maja was glad she hadn't turned on the speakerphone. Her eyes widened with surprise at the news.

Grandpa Holden was at Rosewood Manor!

She glanced at Ian again through the rear-view mirror.

Ian's phone rang again, and Maja guessed it was probably Grandpa Holden himself.

Sure enough, Ian saw the caller ID and his mood went from bad to worse.

"Grandpa."

"Ian, I'm at Rosewood Manor. Didn't you hurt your hand? I thought I'd come and see you."

"Grandpa, I'm on my way to an emergency meeting at the Raymond family. I might be back late."

"No rush, I'll wait for you."

After Grandpa Holden hung up, Maria also ended the call.
