Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 68

Maja stood there, her face expressionless, absorbing every word they uttered.

She had constantly tried to convince herself that Neil wasn't showing favoritism and that he had been supportive of her since her mother's passing.

However, the kindness he extended to her paled in comparison to the adoration he showered on Cristina's kids.

The fact that she was still burdened with the stress of buying a house while Neil readily gifted Glenn Pennyfeather a multimillion-dollar mansion seemed absurd to Maja. Soon enough, Neil and Cristina noticed her presence.

Cristina furrowed her eyebrows. "What are you doing here?"

Neil also turned to Maja, noticing a real estate agent in the same uniform standing beside her, feeling a twinge of embarrassment.

"Maja, are you looking for a house?"

Disappointment surged within Maja, but her face remained impassive, "Yes, my apartment was burgled, so I'm looking for a safer place."

Neil hesitated for a moment, guilt gnawing at him as he recalled Maja living on her own all these years.

"Well..."

His words were abruptly interrupted by Cristina.

"Don't play the victim in front of your father. I heard that Holden got you a wedding house worth tens of millions. If you truly have nowhere to go, why don't you just move there? It would bring you closer to Ian. You two are married, treat him well, and things will work out with your father."

"Ms. Perkins."

Maja shot Cristina a cold, warning glance.

"Even if I am playing the victim in front of my father, it's none of your business. He can gift a mansion worth millions to someone else's son. Are you going to stop him from buying a house for his own daughter? Plus, he didn't say he was going to buy me a house , so what's the rush?"

Cristina blushed, taken aback by Maja's verbal onslaught.

Neil, caught in the middle, felt uneasy. He felt Maja was being a bit harsh. After all, Cristina was her elder.

"She's just being herself, don't take it to heart. Which one do you like? I'll buy it for you."

He wanted to use the money to compensate for his guilt towards his daughter.

Maja smiled faintly, lowering her head, "No need, you and Ms. Perkins carry on. I'll go elsewhere."

She didn't fancy living in the same neighborhood as Glenn.

Neil was taken aback with a helpless expression on his face. Cristina, however, frowned.
