Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 217

It was the dead of night when Maja was just about to get up; Ian woke up, his eyes finding hers.

"Mr. Raymond, you awake?"

Ian's voice was a bit hoarse. He glanced at the ceiling and rubbed his temples.

"Am I in a hospital?"

"Yeah, you were running a fever."

"How come you're here?"

"I have a relative in hospital as well. Ran into you by chance. You feeling better?"

Ian's back was killing him, but the effect of the special medicines had worn off, and he was no longer feverish.

He let out a breath of relief, but thinking about Holden's recent actions made his face darken.

He couldn't use the Raymond Corporation as an excuse anymore. Holden was hell-bent on making that woman have the child.

He snorted in derision.

Hearing his scoff, Maja knew Holden had really pissed him off.

She watched as Ian picked up his phone to call Jeff.

"Look up whether the Pennyfeather family reached out to Holden again today."

He had warned them before. If the Pennyfeathers didn't stop their meddling, he wouldn't be so forgiving next time.

In less than five minutes, Jeff called back.

"Neil did call Holden."

Ian's face turned deadly, "Check out the Pennyfeathers' recent business activities; block them all."

He had given them a chance, but they blew it.

Maja sat beside him, listening to his icy orders.

But she couldn't argue.

She should have seen this coming before Neil made that call.

Ian wasn't someone the Pennyfeathers could manipulate at will.

After hanging up, Ian turned to Maja.

Maja's face was expressionless as she asked, "Mr. Raymond, you want some water?"
