Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 241

Leo was clearly struggling to wrap his head around this.

Olivia snickered with a mocking grin.

"Forgot already, did ya? You got hammered the night you came home, and we, well, had sex. If I'm carrying a boy, your family's in for a world of hurt."

Leo did remember that night, and now he was in a real pickle. If he divorced Olivia, the chances of him finding a wife again were slim to none, let alone someone willing to bear his children. He could very well end up childless. Now that Olivia was knocked up, at least his parents would have a grandchild to comfort them.

Maja was fuming seeing the three of them humming and hawing.

"Are you really okay with her sticking around?"

Truth be told, Leo had already busted Olivia with a side piece. Who knew if the baby she was carrying was even his.

Although Leo himself was no saint, with the house about to be bulldozed and 50 grand in his pocket, the future looked pretty cushy for them. If they let Olivia cause trouble at home, that money would just go down the drain. Neither Susan nor Daly dared to meet Maja's eyes, she knew what they had decided.

Just then, Olivia started to lay into Maja, pointing her finger at her and cursing.

"I don't know why this good-for-nothing suddenly wants to divorce me, but it's clear as day you're stirring the pot, you home-wrecker! Your own house is a mess and yet you stick your nose into ours. Buzz off! We don't want you here!"

Olivia picked up a glass of water and tossed it at Maja.

Caught off guard, Maja got drenched. Neither Daly nor Susan dared to look at her, and Leo just kept his mouth shut. But Maja didn't lose her temper. She simply grabbed her bag and said calmly, "Sorry for the intrusion."

They were family after all, but after all she had done, she had not received a word of thanks. She felt very aggrieved.

Susan knew they had gone too far and wanted to go after Maja, but Olivia's threat stopped her. "If any of you go after that hussy, I'm getting an abortion tonight!"

That was enough to scare everyone into staying put.

Maja walked out of the alley alone, her eyes swollen red, clutching her purse tightly. She was hard-pressed to convey her sense of injustice. She felt as though she was a soulless being.

Maja bought a bouquet of flowers, didn't go back to her hotel, but went straight to her mother's grave. The cemetery was a two-hour drive away. Maja drove there alone, guided by the light of her phone, carefully climbing the hill.

Once she reached the grave, she seemed to find some solace. She bowed her head and placed the flowers on the grave.
