Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 98

A happy grin spread across Holden's face as he gently patted her hand, "So, you're willing to have Ian's baby?"

Maja nodded, a slight smile forming at the corners of her mouth, her eyes full of sincerity, "Yes, I am."

Holden's smile deepened.

"As long as you're willing, that's all that matters. Don't worry, whether it's a boy or a girl, I'll love them just the same."

Maja didn't dwell on the topic, not wanting to get the old man's hopes up too high. If things didn't pan out, it could be a hard blow for his health. So she changed the subject and chatted with the old man for an hour before leaving the mansion.

As she was about to get in her car, she bumped into Connie.

Connie was wearing large sunglasses and clearly did not anticipate running into her here. She appeared somewhat surprised.

"Penny, what brings you here?"

Connie hadn't seen Maja come out of the mansion, and just saw her getting in her car here. Maja quickly came up with an excuse.

"I haven't painted in a while, so I came here to find some inspiration."

Connie chuckled, naively accepting the excuse, and started chattering away like a little sparrow.

"Did you hear, Mia Haskins got released from the police station. I heard her brother, Fitch, personally went to get her. Talk about awkward. Fitch is known for his bad temper. If you ever run into him, steer clear. Or you could call my brother to help you out, but whatever you do, don't pick a fight with him."

If even Connie was saying this, it looked like Fitch was a tough nut to crack.

"Thanks for the heads up."

Connie got off the car, pointing towards the mansion in the distance.

"I'm off to visit my grandpa, so I'll catch you later."

Maja nodded, waiting for her to leave before letting out a sigh of relief. She had a hunch her true identity might be exposed soon. Once grandpa returned, he'd surely invite her to a meal with the Raymond family, and she couldn't avoid meeting the rest of the family then.

Just as she was about to get in her car, Connie came back.

"Oh, Penny, it's my birthday party the day after tomorrow, right here in this mansion. It's going to be a blast. Grandpa said he wants to go all out this time, for a happy vibe. There will be lots of people, will you come?"

Maja had a bad feeling about this. Sure enough, her phone rang.
