Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 965

Ian's tone remained steady and unchanging.

"Just a passing comment. Arrange a suite for me. I'll be staying here for a few days. For now, don't let the Raymonds know I'm here."

"Rest assured, your secret is safe with us."

Ian was led to the only available suite.

The man wiped the sweat from his forehead. If anyone else had heard their earlier conversation, it could have led to a heap of trouble.

He quickly called for the housekeeper in charge and ordered him,

"Keep an eye on Mr. Raymond for these next few days. See to his needs and ensure his meals are delivered on time."

"Understood."

Entering the suite, Ian sunk into the window-side armchair.

It was relatively quiet there.

He checked his phone to find a missed call from Maja. She was probably looking for information about the Raymonds.

He decided to turn off his phone, which was more fitting for his current under-investigation status.

He set the phone aside, propped his chin on one hand, and looked out the window with a slight smirk.

When Maja tried calling him again, she found that his phone was turned off.

Temporarily at a loss, she dialed a few other numbers, friends from previous collaborations, but they all shied away from any discussion involving Ian.

With Ian possibly facing charges, neither Fitch nor Tyler was willing to get involved in that case. And the others were even less likely to participate.

Finally, Maja found Phelps. Unlike Fitch and Tyler who rejected her outright, Phelps agreed to meet with her and discuss that topic.

She immediately drove to the hospital and entered Phelps's private office.

Fresh from surgery, Phelps was repeatedly sanitizing his hands. Seeing Maja, he gestured her to take a seat,

"Have a seat."

Once Maja was settled, he began, “I've discovered that you're not a Pennyfeather by birth. Have you ever considered your true identity? Or have you ever investigated it?”

Maja didn't expect Phelps to bring up her personal history. She frowned but answered truthfully.

“I looked into it in Crystalbrook Valley. But it was a long time ago and there weren't any leads. The hospital management was chaotic at the time. They were hiring temporary workers and even their records weren't complete."

Phelps, clad in his white coat, gave Maja a once-over.

“Would you mind if I conducted a DNA test for you and others?”
