Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 408

Ian rubbed his temples, looking instead fed up.

"You called me here just for this?"

"About Eric's secret mission. He's been dead for years, but people are still poking around in his past, including your dad. Your dad who hasn't been home in ages. I heard he's also investigating your brother's past. He must've left something significant behind, maybe with his girlfriend. She might not even realize how important it is."

Ian fell silent. Dressed in a sharp suit, he exuded an aura of icy fierceness.

"Ian, maybe you should consider what kind of girl Eric would've liked. We can start digging in Greenfield. That might speed things up."

Ian headed for the door. Fitch saw his disinterest in a mere glance.

"That file might reveal why Eric died."

Ian stiffened, lips pressed into a thin line.

"I checked. He didn't have a girlfriend."

"So, I plan to have someone scan these drafts. He was barely twenty at the time. If he were in love, it would've been a distraction."

Ian left him with one sentence.

"Let me know when you have something."

With that, he took off.

Fitch ordered someone to sift through all the drafts in the two rooms. Given time, they'd surely find a female name linked to Eric.

Fitch was so hell-bent on finding this thing because the Haskins family received a mysterious order.

Besides, Eric's death was sudden.

Once in his car, Ian gripped the steering wheel and took off.

As he drove past an intersection, he noticed a car parked next to his.

Both cars were waiting for the traffic light. The other car's window was half-open, revealing Maja's face.

Ian raised an eyebrow, rolled down his window, and honked twice.

Maja, looking straight ahead, was startled by the honk. She turned and saw Ian.

Seeing him gave her a surreal feeling.

Maybe it was just the light playing tricks on her.

She remembered a line from a letter, "I've just turned into every drop of rain that accompanies you."

That made her sad.

Ian honked again, annoyed at her lack of reaction.

Maja snapped out of it and smiled at him.

Ian pointed at a restaurant up ahead. The message was clear: he wanted to have dinner with her.
