Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 184

For a moment, Maja even wondered if she should just come clean with Ian. That way, she wouldn't have to keep hiding and lying to Ryan.

But considering Ian's attitude toward the Pennyfeather family, plus the fact that she was currently designing his house, it was crucial to keep a good relationship with him to avoid any awkwardness.

Besides, Ian had been a great help to her during this time.

If she stirred up trouble, Maja would just feel overwhelmed.

She got up, feeling completely worn out, both mentally and physically.

"Maria, I'm not feeling well tonight. I'll skip dinner, no need to call me."

Maria seemed a bit uneasy, "Ms. Pennyfeather, I used the same excuse last time, and Mr. Raymond was a bit displeased."

Maja brushed it off, "It's okay. My relationship with him is beyond repair anyway."

To be precise, it's not her relationship with him, but his relationship with Mrs. Raymond.

If Maja tried to please him as Mrs. Raymond, it would only annoy him.

Ian wanted Mrs. Raymond to keep her distance from his life. That night when she asked him for money, he transferred it without hesitation and reminded her to remember her place.

If Maja had approached him as Mrs. Raymond from the start, Ian would not have met with her at all.

Maria didn't know what to say, so she just sighed.

Ian entered the villa in the evening, casually hanging his suit on the coat rack.

There was a smell of food in the house, he had just finished a meeting and was feeling a bit tired.

Maria immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Mr. Raymond."

Ian would sometimes came over recently, depending on his mood.

After all, his father would occasionally pop in for a check, so he had to stay over from time to time to keep his father from discovering the truth.

"Dinner is ready, Mr. Raymond. You should eat something."
