Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 342

They didn't swap a single word during the drive. The car pulled up at the RosenGarden.

Just as Maja was about to get out, a thought made her stop, and she settled back into the car.

"Ian, if Carlene attacks me again, can I count on you for backup?"

She asked this bluntly, without any hint of hesitation.

After all, her family was lower on the social ladder than the Shepard family, let alone the Raymond family.

Carlene was his girlfriend, and with his influence, there was no telling what she could do in the future.

Ian looked at her, silent for a few seconds before he asked, "Why do you think I'd take your side?"

"You wouldn't be taking my side but the side of justice. I never try to provoke Ms. Shepard, but she treats me like an enemy. We’ve never had a close relationship."

As she finished her sentence, she felt his gaze turn icy.

She swallowed hard.

He leaned in slightly, looking into her eyes with a sarcastic tone, "How dare you say we don't have a close relationship."

A blush crept up Maja's cheeks, and her confidence faltered.

Ian looked ahead, his fingertips lightly clutching the steering wheel.

"I'm helping you because we have a close relationship."

Her heart skipped a beat, not believing that these words really came from him.

Maybe it was the enchanting night, but she found herself short of breath.

"Penny, if I treated you like I treat everyone else, you wouldn't even get a glimpse of me."

That was the harsh reality.

He wouldn't be driving a woman home this late at night, let alone exchanging words with her.

Everything came down to the fact that they had a close relationship.

"Get out."

Maja's mind was a whirl of confusion, incapable of processing his words.

By the time she clumsily got out of the car, Ian's vehicle was already pulling away.

Maja stood there, smacking her forehead.

Ian's godlike face and words were undoubtedly enough to make anyone light-headed.
