Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 266

Ian's hands froze, his gaze involuntarily shifting toward the window. Yup, Maja was standing by the roadside.

Maja's brows knitted together like she was in a heated phone call. It seemed like she was dealing with some kind of problem.

A crowd had gathered around the bar behind her, cops weaving through them, occasionally stopping anyone attempting to snap a picture.

The bar was cordoned off.

Ian asked Jeff, "What's going down at this bar?"

Jeff hadn't expected the question but made a call to find out.

A minute later, he hung up and answered Ian.

"There was a homicide. Someone died of alcohol intoxication on the spot.”

But what's this got to do with Penny? Why was she here?

Tyler had been sitting next to Ian, noticing how he'd stopped working and began staring out the window when Penny’s name was mentioned.

Maja was on the phone with a hospital and was clueless that Ian's car was parked right before her.

Ian watched her through the car window, his thoughts straying back to Gerber, whom he'd bumped into at the bar entrance.

He looked away, his face impassive.

"Let's hit the road; we have a meeting to attend."

Tyler had thought Ian had a soft spot for Penny, given their past intimacy and that time he'd kissed her in front of everyone.

Compared to his wholesome relationship with Carlene, his relationship with Maja was clearly more ambiguous.

However, despite knowing that Maja might be in trouble, he seemed indifferent.

Tyler chuckled and looked away.

"Ian, I've always been curious. Did you ever reminisce about that night with Penny?"

Ian had been going through some documents, but upon hearing this, his fingers stiffened, and he stopped.
