Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 472

"Ian, I've just bought out the Pennyfeather family's company."

At this moment, Ian was sitting in his office chair, showing no reaction to the news. He simply asked, "That fast?"

Carlene's eyes were full of smug satisfaction.

"Yeah, I didn't think it would happen so quickly either. The Pennyfeathers couldn't put up much of a fight. I was surprised that Maja just stopped showing up at the office. Probably at home throwing a fit or something."

Ian's lips tightened briefly before he casually started typing on his screen.

"Carlene."

He suddenly called her name.

Carlene thought he was about to compliment her, but instead, he said, "I don't think we're going to be together anymore."

Carlene's smug expression vanished instantly, and she thought she must have heard him wrong.

"Ian, are you joking?"

Ian lifted his head to look at her, his eyes still calm.

What Carlene hated most was his indifferent gaze. He had never shown any affection for her. The most daring thing she had done was link arms with him.

Even tightly hugging him was a rarity.

Tears welled up in Carlene's eyes instantly.

"But Eric said you would take care of me."

At the mention of Eric Raymond, Ian's fingers froze momentarily.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to string you along. I did think about marrying you before, but I've changed my mind. I thought it would be better to tell you sooner rather than later."

Carlene's voice was bitter, and her fingers clutched her pants tightly.

"So, who do you want to marry now?"

It seemed like as long as Ian mentioned a name, she was ready to confront that person.

But Ian answered quickly.

"I don't want to marry anyone."

Carlene let out a breath, but her eyes were still filled with tears, and she looked rather pitiful.

"Ian, if you don't want to marry anyone, why can't I stay by your side? I've said before that I'd actively pursue you. Are you going to deny me that right?"
