Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 194

Maureen caught up with Ian as he stepped out of the Raymond family's gate, letting out a long sigh.

"Ian, I didn't expect your grandpa to be that mad. I'm really sorry."

"Maureen, it's not your fault. Penny and I got ourselves into this."

Mentioning Penny always seemed to rub Maureen the wrong way.

"Don't think I'm butting in. Now that you've paid the price, you should cut ties with her. Otherwise, your grandpa might blow a bigger gasket and she might get caught in the crossfire."

"I can handle my own business."

Maureen bit her tongue, knowing that another word might rub Ian the wrong way.

Ian got into his car. His back was hurting a lot, so he didn't lean back against the seat.

It was a real pain in the neck, making it hard for him to bear.

Just then, Maja called.

"Mr. Raymond, I'm at the hotel. Are you coming back tonight?"

Ian's hands gripped the steering wheel tight. He was sweating bullets and his lips turned a bit pale.

"Yeah."

His tone was icy, then he hung up.

Maja waited for him in the hallway outside the hotel room, feeling at ease.

Ten minutes later, Ian showed up at the elevator. Seeing him, Maja breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded at him and got down to brass tacks.

"Mr. Raymond, I want to talk about Ms. Raymond."

Ian walked up to her, not looking at her but taking the room key and swiping the door open.

Maja had no choice but to follow him into the room. She smelled something fishy, and her brow furrowed slightly.

Shouldn't Ian's wounds have healed by now? Why the bloody smell?

Ian entered the room, thinking of taking off his coat, but with Maja there, he thought better of it and sat down on the couch.

"My auntie canceled your order?"

It seemed he still remembered last night. Just not sure if he remembered the kiss.

Maja didn't make a fuss about that. She just worried he might think she kissed him on purpose when he was plastered.

But since Ian didn't bring it up, she didn't feel right asking.

"Yep."

"How much did the studio suffer?"

Maja felt a warm feeling inside. She didn't expect him to be concerned about the studio.

"Could be worse. It's just that I'm not the most popular person there, so the designers who were affected have some beef with me."

"I'll have a word with my auntie about this. As for your misunderstanding with her, she won't bother you anymore."
