Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 218

The room was dead quiet. After Ian had spoken, he heard Maja's sincere reply, "Mr. Raymond, thank you."

He highly regarded her, not knowing she was the wife he detested.

The engagement was unnecessary for both of them. They each had their own baggage, no blame to be laid on either side.

The Pennyfeather family benefitted from the engagement. What right did she have if she still demanded Ian respect her as his wife?

She couldn't hog all the perks.

Ian didn't say a word, just quietly shut his eyes.

Maja knew he wanted to rest, so she stopped talking.

Six in the morning.

Ian heard Jeff's voice.

"Ms. Penny, here's your breakfast; thanks for keeping Mr. Raymond company all night."

"No need for thanks; now that you're here, I'll leave."

"All right, I'll find a way to thank you properly some time."

The door to the ward was gently closed, and Ian opened his eyes only then.

Seeing him awake, Jeff heaved a sigh of relief and busied himself with preparing breakfast.

"Mr. Raymond, do you want to eat first?"

Ian had no appetite. He'd been sick most of the night, and his face was tinged with a sickly pallor.

"Is the Pennyfeather family matter sorted?"

"We've intercepted all the Pennyfeather family company's business. Neil will probably start panicking today. I also cut off Neil's communication with Holden. Holden can't receive his calls."

This way, Neil couldn't contact Holden even if the Pennyfeather family had problems.

And because Holden was unwell and rarely left his house, Neil was less likely to run into him.

This wouldn't bankrupt the Pennyfeather family, but it would give Neil headaches for quite some time.

Ian got up, and after washing up with the toiletries Jeff had brought, he returned to the hotel.

He didn't want to go back to Rosewood Manor at all.

But Maja was heading back to Rosewood Manor.

She had planned to go to Crystalbrook Valley today but was exhausted from spending the entire night with Ian.

After getting back to Rosewood Manor and getting some sleep, she received a call from Cristina.
