Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 52

Maja was about to choke when she heard Maureen's words while surrounded by a doctor. She was about to speak when the doctor accidentally brushed against her injured cheek, causing her to yelp in pain.

This only made Maureen angrier.

"Ian, get him home in ten minutes, I'm going to give him a piece of my mind today!"

Ian stood in front of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows.

Ryan hit Penny? No way.

"Is there a misunderstanding here?"

"Penny's face is swollen, with five clear finger marks, what misunderstanding could there be? Ryan has really let me down."

Far away in the bar, Ryan sneezed amidst the deafening music, feeling a chill on the back of his neck.

Ian wondered, did she get slapped again?

Maja finally had a chance to speak, and she quickly said,

"It's not Ryan. Ryan is nice, he wouldn't hit me."

Maureen paused, really?

"Are you defending him because you are afraid that I will punish him?"

"It really wasn't him."

"Then who hit you?"

"My family."

Maureen looked sympathetic, relieved that it wasn't Ryan who hit her.

"As long as it's not him, I can breathe easy. Here's my number, you write it down. If Ryan ever treats you badly, you let me know."

Maja hesitated. She and Ryan were just pretending to be a couple, but now she had no chance to refuse Maureen.

Maureen hadn't hung up the phone yet.

"Ian, it's all good, I'm hanging up."

Maja worried that if Ian said another word, he would expose her and Ryan's relationship. She would feel even more awkward face-to-face with Maureen.

Thankfully, Ian didn't say anything.

After her injury was treated, Maja quickly stood up.
