Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 695

Maja shook her head and quietly settled back into the car.

As the car started, Maja asked, "Zoey, is your boyfriend's name Murray?"

Zoey looked a bit startled, and she didn't recall ever telling Maja about Murray.

"Yes."

"You guys have been together for seven years?"

A sweet smile graced Zoey's face.

"Yes, I took a leave last time to get engaged. We already bought a house without telling our parents. His family has a house, and his mom wants me to live with them, but I don't want to live with the elders, so Murray and I decided to buy a new house. Even if it's small, as long as we can live in it, we will be much freer. We each paid 600,000 for the down payment on the house."

This 600,000 was almost all the money Zoey and Murray had earned from their part-time jobs. Zoey even borrowed money from her friends.

The house cost a million in total, and with a loan of 400,000 left, Zoey needed to pay the mortgage monthly.

While discussing these matters, Zoey's eyes held a gentle smile.

The more Maja heard, the heavier her heart fell.

Zoey was only twenty-three this year, still very young, but she had already saved a lot of money to buy a house, showing how hard she worked.

Not only that, but she even borrowed money from others, clearly showing how much she wanted to be with Murray.

Maja couldn't help but rub her forehead.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, are you feeling okay?"

Maja wasn't feeling well. If she didn't apologize to Evelyn, Zoey and her boyfriend Murray might break up.

But, if Maja did apologize, Evelyn would definitely take the opportunity to make her life miserable. Coupled with Mia, Maja might be defeated by the two of them together.

Zoey was focused on driving, completely unaware that Maja's current thoughts involved her.

When they returned to Rosewood Manor, Maja received a call from Carl, but she really didn't want to pick up, so she pretended she didn't see it.

After she hung up, Powell called again.

Maja hung up the phone again.

Shortly after, an unfamiliar number called. Maja took a deep breath and answered,

"I'm Mia's mother, Sharon." The woman's voice was cold, "Are you Penny?"

Being harassed by three people in a row, Maja was feeling annoyed. She hung up the phone, grabbed her coat, and drove to the hotel where Ian was currently staying.

But Ian wasn't there.

After waiting for an hour, the hotel manager informed her, "Mr. Raymond has checked out."

Maja felt like she'd been punched. She numbly walked out of the hotel.

It was still snowing outside, and she was shivering with cold.

She walked for almost an hour, not knowing where she was.

Until a car pulled up in front of Maja. It was Ian.

"Get in."

Ian had just been discharged from the hospital and saw her wandering outside without an umbrella, so he honked his horn twice.
