Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 857

The girl's face instantly contorted into a look of shock, so much so that she was left stunned.

By the time she came back to her sense, Ian had already taken off.

The innocence in her eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by a thoughtful look as she stared at his retreating figure.

After a few seconds, her gaze turned curious.

On closer inspection, it was also filled with a deep darkness.

Her phone rang. It was a call from her family.

"Sweetie, are you still out?"

"Mom, I will be home soon."

She kept her gaze fixed on the direction Ian had disappeared before heading towards the bodyguard who had been waiting for her.

Meanwhile, after getting into his car, Ian pulled out his phone, intending to call Maja to check if she was feeling better. However, work crept up on him, so he had to settle for sending her a text instead.

[Got a bit tied up, Maja. Wait for me."

When Maja received his message, she had already crawled into bed.

Feeling a bit under the weather after her hospital visit in the afternoon, she felt as if a mountain of pain was pressing down on her.

She had been staying at Rosewood Manor for two days and had the property management team investigate who had installed so many cameras in RosenGarden.

Despite their efforts, they found no clues. Even the cops suspected she was pulling a publicity stunt.

With that many cameras, it's impossible to install them all in such a short amount of time, and for Maja, the homeowner, to be clueless about it was even more impossible.

Luckily, Maja had her alibi; she hadn't spent much time there, and the property management could vouch for her.

So, they had to drop the matter.

During her stay at Rosewood Manor, she occasionally had nightmares about the ceilings filled with cameras, still giving her the heebie-jeebies and causing her to lose her appetite.

In just two days, she had lost a good ten to fifteen pounds.

When she returned to work, she found that all the roles for the next film had been filled, with the lead role going to a newbie from the company, a move to promote their own talent.
