Dear Ex-wife Marry Me (Maja and Ian) novel Chapter 1087

Fitch paused for a moment before he softly said, "Eric doesn't strike me as a superficial guy."

Superficial enough to quote a line of poetry, a line that contained the name of the woman he liked. So brazen, without any disguise.

Ian cast his gaze downwards, his fists clenched tight.

"Liking is superficial in itself. If it truly is Maja, wouldn't everything make sense then? We've never suspected her, always investigating in the wrong direction. Hence, there's been no progress till now."

"But Ian, if Maja is indeed that woman, her presence around you suggests ulterior motives. She knew we were looking for Eric but never once mentioned that she was the woman Eric was fond of. With Grandpa Holden following Eric this time and Maja conveniently disappearing, could the group at the cliff be Eric's people?"

This suggested that it was a conspiracy between Eric and Maja that led to Holden's death.

The truth was shocking, as the one who died was the senior Ian cared most about. The one who deceived him was his own brother and the woman he loved.

He dared not dwell on it.

Ian's lips were pursed, and he suddenly remembered something. He strode upstairs.

Finally, he arrived in front of Maja's locker. It was locked with a code.

He didn't know the passcode, so he entered Maja's birthday.

Incorrect.

He tried his own birthday next.

Incorrect.

Ian smirked, then entered Eric's birthday.

Correct.

The 'click' sounded like the world's most cruel joke.

He hesitated for a moment, fighting the urge to smash the locker.

He stood up, calmly straightening his suit.

His phone rang. It was a call to collect Grandpa Holden's ashes.

He shook his head at Maria, not saying anything more.

When he arrived downstairs, Coco was wandering around the room.

Ian squatted down, looking at her seriously. No wonder Coco had always been so enthusiastic. They had met before.

But he had been allergic to dog fur, so he used to feed her from a distance.

Later, she was sent away.

Through the passage of time, he just watched her. His eyes reddened, and he gave a small laugh.

Coco barked at him, seemingly sensing his emotions.
