Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 608

Not long after, Fitch and a few others showed up, and as they walked in, they said, "Phelps has got a few surgeries tonight. He might not show up till late. Just start drinking."

It was still noon, and the specially hired chef was busy in the kitchen, preparing for the upcoming feast in the afternoon.

Ian was seated in the middle. Usually, he was a corner seater at parties, trying to avoid too much chitchat.

Now, he was seated centre-stage, his eyes darting towards the entrance every now and then.

Tyler was bustling around, decorating the place. Balloons were being hung, but the 'Happy Birthday' banner was yet to be put up.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

The servant opened the door to Maja.

Seeing a few people inside and Tyler still holding balloons, Maja was slightly surprised but didn't ask questions. Instead, she walked straight to Ian.

Ian was as cool as a cucumber. The coffee table was littered with various drinks, and he casually picked up one, asking, "Why so early?"

"Mr. Raymond," Maja called out softly, "I came hoping you could do me a favour."

Ian looked at her but didn't see a gift in her hands.

He frowned, "What favour?"

Maja took a seat next to him, talking about Funfly and mentioning Shawn.

His face immediately darkened.

"So, you came to me because of Shawn?"

Maja knew he was hot-tempered. She had no right to ask him for a favour, but maybe he would agree.

She held on to that hope.

"Mr. Raymond, you know Funfly's reputation. Shawn is definitely in danger, so I..."

"Penny, do you know what day it is today?"

Maja froze. Looking around, she could tell the ambience was festive.

It was even a little tacky, and she instantly guessed.

"Someone's proposing?"

Ian chuckled at that.

Fitch and Tyler, who were closest to them, also turned to look at Maja.
