Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 214

"Maja, come on, get in the car. I can't wrap my head around why you're sitting here."

Maja didn't feel like arguing with him, knowing it would be a waste of breath.

She got up and got in the car, and Neil quickly apologized.

"About what happened last night, I admit it was my fault. I didn't expect Silver to pull such a stunt."

Maja's lips twitched slightly, "Is that all? Don't you think you owe me an apology for what Cristina said?"

A look of discomfort crossed Neil's face.

"Cristina just passed out. The doctor said it's because she's too anxious. You two never got along, and her apologizing to you might just make her more upset."

Maja closed her eyes, saying nothing.

Neil knew Cristina had crossed a line, so he pulled out a bank card from his bag.

"There's a million bucks in this card. Feel free to spend it; no need to tighten the belt for the family."

Maja didn't take it, as if she didn't hear him.

Neil felt a bit awkward. He had apologized; what more did she want?

Did she really expect Cristina to come and apologize?

"Maja, you can be so damn stubborn sometimes."

At this point, Maja opened her eyes and glanced out the window.

"Pull over. I just remembered that my car's still outside. I'll need to drive it back later. I'm heading to Crystalbrook Valley tomorrow."

"Why are you going back to Crystalbrook Valley? To see your uncle again? Haven't I told you to keep your distance from them?"

Neil was trembling with anger and took back his bank card.

"You're always against me. I guess you don't want this money then."

The car had already stopped. Without a word, Maja got out and closed the door.

"Maja!"

Neil called out, then coughed a few times.

Hearing his cough, Maja paused, finally softening her tone.

"I'm just going to work. Take care of yourself, Dad."

With that, she strode towards her car.

She was exhausted.
