Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1228

The faint aroma of medicine lingered on the sheets, imbuing the air with a tranquil ambiance.

Maja had anticipated a night of nightmares, yet even in her unconscious state, she experienced a sense of tranquility.

The man sat by her bedside. Seeing her deep in slumber, he rose, drawing the curtains across the windows to shield the room from the sunlight outside.

Inside, another man reported to him.

"Ian and Dylan are locking horns, Dylan's already initiated a complete blockage on the Raymond Corporation’s projects."

"Hmm."

The man's tone was light as he looked out. He was smiling, "And throw Eric into the mix, the chaos begins, doesn’t it?"

His gaze wandered over the distant garden, before returning to settle on Maja.

After falling asleep, Maja was very peaceful.

The next step would be to snap her lingering feelings for Ian.

Sentimental affection would only cloud her future decisions.

What he needed wasn’t a decision-maker easily swayed by a man.

The room fell into silence, his fingers playing with the still-burning incense, as the man beside him spoke.

"Although this incense has a calming effect, combined with the medicine you've given her, it could cause her to be in a daze. Sir, it would be prudent to be careful with these two."

"I know my limits. I won't harm her."

The other man said no more, quietly retreating from the room.

Ian had a nightmare. He woke up abruptly, gasping for breath.

Some even speculated if this was Eric's doing.

However, Eric's image was so pristine in everyone's minds that no one believed that he would resort to such tactics.

"Mr. Raymond, perhaps you should visit the company tomorrow," Jeff said cautiously. He was also concerned for Maja's safety, but if the Raymond Corporation fell into chaos, Ian's future would be difficult.

Moreover, Grandma Edith was back and had personally hosted a welcome party for Eric the previous night, essentially announcing to the world that her only worthy successor was Eric.

Ian wasn't even present at the welcome party.

The living room was silent. When Ian learned that there was no news of Maja, the light in his eyes faded instantly.

He gave a wry smile, his voice hoarse. "What's the point of having the Raymond Corporation without Maja?"

His eyelashes fell, his eyes reddening in an instant.
