Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 499

"What's up with Shawn now?"

"Hey, it's just some stuff going on in his social circle. There's a rich old lady who's into him, but she's already in her fifties, and she really enjoys playing around with young boys. You've seen Shawn, you know he's a real looker, right? His contract with the Miller family is almost up. Because of the pressure from the Miller family, the lady doesn't dare to make a move right now. So, when I asked Shawn to accompany you last time, he didn't hesitate at all. Being with a young and pretty girl like you is always better than being with an older lady. Plus, that lady has a lot of tricks up her sleeve, a lot of toys, I heard a few male models got played by her."

Even though Maja and Carol were good friends, Maja rarely heard Carol talk about high society.

But no matter what social circle it was, human nature was always the same. Even in the academic world, which people thought was the purest of them all, there was a lot of shady stuff. Otherwise, Maja wouldn't have almost lost her diploma.

After hearing Carol's explanation, Maja felt a lot better.

"Maja, if you want, I can send Shawn to your bedside right now."

Maja originally wanted to refuse, but when she thought about what might happen to Shawn, she hesitated, "Let's talk about it later."

Carol misunderstood Maja's hesitation as a yes and immediately became happy.

"I wish you had said yes earlier. You wouldn't have to be upset about Ian anymore, who knows if Carlene's baby will even be born?"

That sentence was like a thorn, piercing Maja's heart in an instant.

Maja remained silent for a while before she said softly, "I'm a bit tired."

"Okay, you should rest. I won't talk about this disgusting stuff in front of you next time."

After hanging up the phone, Maja washed her face with cold water.

It wasn't until her face was a bit numb that she looked up at herself in the mirror, recalling Lillian's words,

"Maja, don't listen to them telling you to love this one, respect that one. Love who you want to love, respect who you want to respect."

Maja's fingers trembled as she turned on the faucet again, splashing cold water on her face, feeling a bit more awake.

It was okay, she lost her baby, but she could have another one. The most important thing at that time was to make money, and to build her own career.

With her current situation, even if the baby was born, it would only suffer with her, and live a life of fear and anxiety with her.

Maja took a wet wipe and dried her face, regaining her cold expression.

She would only love those who loved her.
