Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 78

Maja had overslept until noon, waking up with a nasty headache. Her phone wouldn't stop buzzing. She quickly picked it up.

It was a call from Susan, sounding quite urgent.

"Maja, I've been calling you for a while now, and you didn't pick up. Did something happen? I was about to send your uncle to check on you."

Maja glanced at her missed calls. Five from her aunt. No wonder she was worried.

"I'm fine. I stayed up late last night and was too tired to hear the phone."

Upon hearing this, Susan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Are you still visiting your mom today?"

"Yeah, I'm up now. I'll grab some flowers and head over."

"We've already bought flowers. I'll have your uncle wait for you at your place. When you're ready, find him; he can take you there."

After hanging up the phone, it didn't take Maja more than five minutes to get ready and head out to meet Daly.

Daly handed her the bouquet, "Heard you stayed up late last night. I'll drive. You can rest in the passenger seat."

"Alright."

As Maja settled in the passenger seat, she caught a whiff of the faint smell of gasoline. Despite regular maintenance, Daly's car, which he had been driving for many years, still couldn't entirely get rid of the smell of gasoline and leather.

The car jostled its way to their destination.

Maja got out of the car with the bouquet in hand and found her mother's grave.

Maja came here every year. Sometimes, if she was too busy, she might come a few days earlier or later, but she knew her mom would understand.

Thinking about all the recent events at home, she felt down and wanted to talk to her mom alone.

Daly was waiting for her not far away, so she didn't say much.

The grave looked like it had been tidied up a bit. She gently placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone, quickly wiped her eyes, and returned to Daly's side.

"Let's go."

Daly was smoking. Seeing her red-rimmed eyes, he wanted to say something, but didn't. He held his cigarette in one hand and gently patted her shoulder with the other.

As the two were about to get in the car, a motorcycle came from a distance, carrying a man and a woman. The motorcycle stopped in front of them. Olivia got off and snatched the car keys from Daly, angrily saying,

"Do you know I was supposed to go out with my friends today? I told you not to use this car for the next three days, but you didn't listen. You two can walk home!"
