Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 73

As Maja entered the room, she saw a woman around 28 years old sitting on the sofa watching TV, while her aunt Susan Elston was busy cooking.

The woman on the sofa put down the apple she was munching on when she saw Maja.

"Oh, back from the big city, huh? The place is a bit of a mess. Go find somewhere to sit."

Daly and Susan wore awkward expressions on their faces but remained silent.

Susan pulled Maja over, gave her a once-over, and then couldn't help but ask worriedly, "You look thinner. Did your dad only care about that woman and forget about you?"

"Definitely. Her mom passed away years ago. Men are just like that, they find a prettier woman, and they forget about their ex-wife."

The woman speaking was Olivia, Maja's sister-in-law and a member of the household. She seemed cold and sharp, casting a glance towards the kitchen.

"Food's not ready yet, and you got time for chit-chat?"

Susan had to let go of Maja's hand, "Maja, sit down, dinner's almost ready."

Maja frowned.

Olivia rolled her eyes, "I'm just stating the facts. Your family properties are all that woman's now. Your dad hasn't been back for years. He's only supporting you because you're useful to him."

Maja slightly lifted her head and looked at Olivia. Her anger was stirred.

"My family affairs are none of your business."

Olivia rolled her eyes again, "Sure, your family's loaded, with a big company in the city. I heard one of your cars is worth millions. Why would you need to argue with a poor person like me? The money we make in our lifetime is less than what you make in a day."

Daly pulled Maja a bit, hinting her not to argue with Olivia, his eyes even pleading.

Taking a deep breath, Maja decided to ignore Olivia's remarks.

Olivia snorted, walked back to her bedroom in her high heels, and slammed the door, blasting the music. Even when the neighbors came to complain, she didn't come out.

Daly sighed and went to apologize to the neighbors helplessly.

Watching this, Maja understood why Daly and Susan were so tolerant of Olivia.

She couldn't say anything to Olivia either.
