Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1150

Compared to other women who reveled in their animosity because of Ian, Coral’s attitude was impressively patient.

For Maja, this made Coral all the more endearing.

“You’re right not to be with him, Coral. You two just aren’t a good match.”

Coral chuckled and finished her cup of coffee just as the school bell rang from outside.

“I’m sorry, but my little brother just got out of class. He’s in twelfth grade this year and I promised to have lunch with him. With his studies taking up so much time, I asked him to come here. I hope you don’t mind, Ms. Pennyfeather.”

Before coming, Maja had done her research and knew that Coral had a younger brother, though not by blood. Coral had adopted him, but the details of the adoption were not known.

A moment later, Maja saw a tall young man crossing the street. He was around eighteen, handsome, exuding a youthful charm. Quite a few students surrounded him, but his demeanor was strikingly similar to Coral’s—somewhat aloof.

Noticing Coral, he waved to his friends and quickly walked over.

“Sis.”

He called out, not even glancing at Maja.

Coral nodded at him and pulled out a lunch box from her bag.

“I brought this for you. Eat up.”

Barton Albright nodded, sat down quietly, and started to eat his lunch.

Seeing how he looked like, Maja couldn’t help but ask, “Coral, have you ever thought of getting your brother into the entertainment circle?”

Coral shook her head. “This kid is made for academia.”

Upon hearing this, Barton looked at Maja, politely nodded, and then continued to eat his lunch.

Unlike most cheerful high students, this kid was somewhat reserved.

Maja's gaze lingered on him. She had a feeling that the way he looked at Coral was a bit off.

Coral was skeptical. Since she came back, she had been trying to talk to Barton, but he had been evasive. On the surface, he seemed as well-mannered as before, but something was off. She just couldn’t put her finger on what it was.

“Alright. If you can truly help Barton, then I’ll choose your investment for my script. But be prepared, without some hundreds of millions, we can’t achieve the effect I want.”

“Don’t worry, Coral.”

Maja breathed a sigh of relief, a smile creeping onto her face.

Once she got back to her car, she checked her phone to find new messages from Ian.

[Still feeling dizzy, but I have an international meeting tonight.]

[Are you planning to ignore me forever?]

[You haven't visited since Grandpa Holden passed. Want to go together tomorrow?]

Maja found herself unable to refute the last message.
