Dear Ex-wife Marry Me (Maja and Ian) novel Chapter 710

Chapter 710 

The situation was what it was. No amount of talk can beat first–hand experience. 

Maja could only nod in agreement. 

“Off you go. You can knock off early today.” 

Zoey’s face lit up with surprise. 

She turned to leave, and Maja could feel her joy just from her retreating figure. 

Maja let out a sigh. 

At eight in the evening, Maja wrapped up her work on time. 

Then she realized that lan hadn’t been in touch all day. 

He had promised to be with her for a month, and knowing him, he couldn’t stay quiet for that long. 

Maja checked her phone to see if she had missed his call.. 

But there were no missed calls from lan. 

So she decided to give him a call. 

It wasn’t lan who picked up, but Jeff. 

“Ms. Pennyfeather.” 

“Jeff, where’s Mr. Raymond?” 

“The boss is on a business trip and won’t be back until next week. He’s about to catch a flight, but he asked me to tell you to decorate Greenfield Gardens. Christmas is next week.” 

Maja was taken aback. She had completely forgotten about Christmas. 

But who would she spend it with? 

There was no one left from the Pennyfeather family. She had severed ties with her uncle in Crystalbrook Valley. Carol was going back to the Miller family for the holidays. 

She realized that she had been deliberately ignoring this problem. 

But now that lan had asked her to decorate Greenfield Gardens, she felt a warmth in her heart. At least she would have something to do on Christmas. No wonder everyone in the company seemed so happy. The holidays were coming, and everyone was busy preparing gifts. 

“I see.” 

After hanging up, she stared out the window at the falling snow, unable to remember the last time she had a meaningful Christmas. 

When her father was alive, going home for Christmas meant enduring Cristina Perkins‘ sneers, so she always found an excuse to stay at school. After starting work, she lied about being too busy to go home. She didn’t want to see other families‘ harmony and happiness. She always felt like an outsider. 

She hadn’t prepared gifts for many years and didn’t know what to get. 

She looked up some ideas online and then drove to the mall. After much deliberation, she picked out a Christmas wreath. 

She was about to pay but suddenly thought that lan might not like it for the beautiful villa. 

In the end, she left the mall empty–handed. 

As she got in the car, she worried that lan might be angry. She rubbed her eyes, got out of the car, and decided to buy some food. At least she would have something to show for her efforts.
