Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 70

Neil, still visibly sullen, seemed to have lessened his guilt toward his wife. Maja had no interest in engaging with him any further. "He didn't do anything wrong."

Neil's face turned gloomy again, he looked like he wanted to say something, but he just chose to keep his mouth shut, looking at his daughter with disappointment.

Maja and the staff quickly got into the car, paying no attention to the curious onlookers. The staff driving in front noticed her upset face, and started to change the subject.

"This area is really nice, and all the facilities around are top-notch. You can reach the underground mall in three minutes on foot. The schools from elementary to high school are excellent. But I’ve got even better listings, although they might cost a bit more."

At that moment, Maja had no energy to worry about the price. She didn’t want to compromise. If a higher price meant finding a more suitable home, so be it.

Finally, the agent brought her to a mini-mansion district.

It earned its name due to its exorbitant house prices and a reputation for being a place where wealthy individuals kept their mistresses.

Despite the gossip surrounding the area, Maja didn't care and instantly fell in love with the community's ambiance.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, this house is priced at 1.4 million. The owner has spent 700k on decoration. They're in a rush to go abroad to care for their child, so they're selling it at a cheap price. It's a golden opportunity."

Maja inspected the decoration and found it to be to her liking. The house boasted a breathtaking view, two units per floor, and this one was on the top of the five-story building. On the other side of the shared area was another owner, reportedly a young girl.

Maja really liked this house Even knowing the agent might have exaggerated, she didn’t hesitate to deposit a few million. The rest of the money would be paid after the apartment was sold.

"Alright, once Ms. Pennyfeather has made the down payment, I'll give you the keys directly."

Maja and the agent quickly signed a contract, and then she headed back to Rosewood Manor.

As soon as she walked in, she noticed Maria anxiously preparing to leave, her face reflecting relief upon seeing Maja's return.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, Coco is missing."

Maja's heart tightened instantly , "How could she be missing?"

A look of guilt appeared on Maria's face, "It's all my fault. I was busy tidying up Coco's room and didn’t notice that she went to chase after your car. I checked the surveillance and found that she had followed your car."
