Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 626

Ian was still fuming, pissed off to the max because Maja voluntarily left that place.

But he was good at hiding his feelings, so he just kept a straight face and continued working, planning to give her a piece of his mind later.

However, by the time he was clocking off, he got a call from Raymond Mansion.

Edith sounded a bit down in the dumps.

"Ian, I messed up last time, and I've thought it through," She said.

Ian wasn't really buying that Edith had had an epiphany.

Edith had always been all about Eric. After Eric’s accident, Edith had stormed off in a huff, gone for six years.

How could someone who played favorites like that suddenly see the light?

But then Edith said something that made Ian sit up and take notice.

"I've got some of Eric's stuff here. Come and take a look and grab a bite with me while you're at it."

Ian had never felt any family love from Edith, but he could also hear Selena's voice over the phone.

"Ian, we both want to apologize to you."

Hearing this, Ian couldn't help but think back to a long time ago.

Eric had been kidnapped, and the Raymond family was all over the place. He could remember Edith and Selena arguing with people, crying and asking, "Why did they have to take Eric? What will we do if something happens to him."

Edith was especially distraught, "Tell the kidnappers to take Ian instead, they're both Raymond kids, they're worth the same!"

Ian was just a kid back then, standing there coldly, watching Edith crying uncontrollably.

"Eric, my Eric!"

Then the Raymonds really did start negotiating with the kidnappers, trying to trade Ian for Eric, but the kidnappers didn't bite.

That day, the Raymond family was in total chaos. Ian was too young to fully understand what was going on, but being a kid, he got hungry fast. He was unable to suppress his hunger and was just about to have some soup when Selena knocked the bowl out of his hands.

"Eric's been kidnapped and you're eating?! Do you want something to happen to him?!"

The hot soup spilled onto Ian's hand.

Young Ian looked up at Selena.

Selena seemed taken aback by his gaze, she took a step back, and then muttered, "Emotionless freak."

Ian knew very well that if the kidnappers had agreed to the trade, he would've been shipped off without a second thought.

So, when someone suggested trading Maja for Carlene, he agreed to it immediately.

That's the lesson he learned from the Raymonds.

It's okay to ditch anything useless, even family.

Listening to Edith sobbing on the phone, Ian felt a pang.
