Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 302

She instantly loosened up from being tense, and her discomfort dissipated as they fell back into the same interaction mode as when they first met.

"That neighbor finally moved out; I’ve been sleeping like a baby lately."

Ian reopened his file, "That's good then."

Sitting beside them, Connie kept glancing back and forth between them, sensing they had some coded conversation.

"Penny, Ian has to stick with Carlene later. After we get off, come hang out with me; the scenery there is nice. Even though I'm loaded, I don't get to hang out with everyone often. If you're uncomfortable, just follow me for some food therapy."

Connie really liked Maja; she drew well, was pretty, and had a great personality.

If only she were Ian's wife.

Unfortunately, his heart belonged to Carlene.

Carlene seemed okay, but she was not Penny.

With Connie's presence, Maja felt more at ease.

As soon as the car stopped, there stood a figure outside; it was Carlene.

Carlene looked weak, her eyes still a bit red.

"Ian." She called out softly from outside with a hint of a sob in her voice.

It was awkward for Maja, and it seemed like Carlene was here to seek comfort from Ian after being humiliated by Holden at Rosewood Manor.

The car door opened, and as Carlene saw Maja inside, her face instantly turned sour. She couldn't help but scoff.

"Penny, did you find my cat?"

At this point, Connie was pulling Maja away, her tone a bit naive.

"Carlene, what cat?"

"She lost my cat."

Carlene's eyes were sharp; she felt uncomfortable seeing Connie and Maja getting along well.
