Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 352

Maja was taken aback, rooted to the spot. If she didn't already know that Coco was at Rosewood Manor, she might've totally bought his act.

Why on earth would Ian hold a dog hostage?

With a helpless laugh, she quickly caught up to him.

"Mr. Raymond, my Coco really is missing. You might not be mistaken. Where did you see it? I'll go look."

Ian stopped in his tracks. He was dressed in a sharp black suit and crisp white shirt, and his jawline tensed slightly. His voice was cool and clear.

"You and your husband should go look together. You might still find it."

Maja was speechless, her steps faltering.

Ian had already reached the elevator by now. Maja had no choice but to follow.

"Mr. Raymond, my husband is really busy."

Her voice was filled with helplessness.

Ian's gaze was icy and emotionless as he said, "Then wait until he has time to help you look. Penny, I have a meeting in five minutes. Don't come to me if it's not about the renovation."

The elevator doors opened, and Ian stepped in.

It was a private elevator. There was no one else around.

Maja stood at the entrance, watching as the elevator doors closed.

Then she started mulling over why Ian would hold Coco hostage.

But no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't find a reasonable explanation.

In the end, she could only take out her phone and send a text to Maria.

"Maria, Coco will be staying there for the time being. But don't let Mr. Raymond know that she's a dog from Rosewood Manor. Just go along with what Mr. Raymond says."

Maria has been working at Rosewood Manor for so many years that she immediately understood the subtext and responded immediately, "Don't worry, Ms. Pennyfeather."

Maja trusted her. On the one hand, she had to act like she was desperately looking for Coco. Otherwise, Ian might find her behavior suspicious, suspecting she knew Coco was safe.
