Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 533

The kiss wasn't tender at all, rather, it was kind of rough.

Maja found it a bit hard to breathe, and instinctively rested her hand on his arm.

His arm was firm and muscular, full of strength.

After the kiss, he looked at her with a deep gaze.

Still basking in the afterglow of that kiss, he heard her say, "Do Lingery and Ms. Shepard know each other? Otherwise, why would he target me when there's no beef between us?"

"And how did Ms. Raymond get the news so suddenly? Who spilled the beans?"

She looked up at Ian, her cheeks flushed from the kiss, but her eyes remained calm.

"Mr. Raymond, if you're planning to dig into this, shouldn't you start with their relationship? Or are you holding back because Ms. Shepard is carrying your child?"

Just a while ago in the car, he said he wouldn't cover for Carlene, but he didn't mention a word about Carlene in front of Lingery.

Maja wasn't a fool, she appreciated that he caught the culprit who hurt her, but his deliberate overlooking of Carlene was a fact hard to ignore.

Ian's hand was still braced against the wall, trapping her between his chest and the wall.

He remained silent, just tightly holding her uninjured hand, scrutinizing it.

Maja pulled her hand away.

"If Mr. Raymond doesn't plan to pursue Ms. Shepard’s responsibility, then let's just drop it. After all, I can't really confront her either."

"Maja, you nearly disfigured her, what more do you want?"

Maja cast her eyes down, any warmth she had felt for him making things hard for Lingery had evaporated.

"Yeah, let's just head back then."

"Are you mad?"

Maja shook her head, she couldn't possibly be mad, after all, he had Carlene in his heart.

But she wouldn't let Carlene get away with it, regarding tomorrow's bid, she would make the EverBest Group pay in her own way.

Since Ian wouldn't trouble Carlene, she would.

Ian remained silent, to him, Carlene still had her uses, the most important thing left by Eric Raymond might still be in her hands.

If he puts the Shepard family in trouble and punishes Carlene, would she still remember that thing?

Everyone was looking for it now, Fitch Haskins wasn't letting any clues slip by, Carlene was the only lead they had.
