Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 976

When Ian hit a snag, Judith showed up despite being sick. Her devotion was unmistakable.

People started to buzz, but Ian, being helped to his seat, just lowered his lashes, not uttering a word.

At this point, everyone seemed to forget about Maja, as if she was just a passerby in Ian's life.

Judith's words quickly ingratiated her into the group and given her identity, she had no qualms about sitting next to Ian.

Ian did not say anything more, just leaned back slowly, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

He was getting a bit tipsy.

He even took out his phone and, unable to resist, called Maja again.

This time, the call was answered, but by a man's voice.

"Hi, this is Patric. You're calling Maja's phone. What can I do for you?"

Ian's pupils constricted sharply as if he had just fallen into an ice pit. His tipsiness seemed to dissipate a bit, replaced by a chill that ran from his heart to his toes.

"Who are you?"

He asked again almost reflexively, finding the name familiar.

Yes, wasn't this the name Maja had been muttering when she was hospitalized?

The previous owner of Coco.

Her true love.

"I'm Patric, and you must be Mr. Raymond?"

That was how Maja saved his name, but hearing it now, Ian felt a strong sense of embarrassment.

Without him having to say anything more, he had already lost.

His heart seemed to be squeezed by an invisible hand, the suffocation intense.

The voice on the other end sounded again.

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up, she's resting."

Ian had just won a great victory today, but now he felt like he had suffered a total defeat.

He took a deep breath, gripping the phone tightly.

"I have something to say to her."

"You can tell me."

"What the hell are you?"

That was more in line with Ian's temper.

The call was cut off from the other end.

He kept calling back over and over again, until Maja's phone was turned off.

Seeing Ian's mood darken, Judith quickly brought him a glass of juice.
