Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1250

The moment Patric stepped into the office, all eyes on the top floor were drawn to the meeting room.

It was a transparent meeting room, leaving its occupants fully visible for all to see.

This was a requirement of Patric's. He insisted that the transaction take place in this room, even going so far as to bring in two lawyers.

The top brass of the Raymond Corporation vaguely understood that from today onward, the company seemed to be headed for a change of tides. They found it hard to focus on their work, their attention frequently drifting towards the meeting room.

Ian sat in his chair, standing up almost instantly as he saw Maja being brought in.

He had just wanted to stride over to Patric, to take Maja back into his arms, but he heard her voice.

"Eric, I'm feeling a bit tired. Can I sleep in your arms?"

Patric, unaware of what Maja was planning, inexplicably did not refuse.

He held her in his arms, sitting across from Ian with a gentle smile that was uniquely Eric's.

"Ian, can we start signing the contract now?"

Ian didn't respond, his eyes fixed firmly on Maja.

Maja's head was buried in Patric's chest, not looking at Ian.

Ian's chest was heaving, but he still croaked, "Without seeing her face, how can I tell if she really is Maja?"

Hearing his voice, tinged with exhaustion, Maja felt a heartache.

"I need to see her face. Maybe you've just found a random woman to fool me. There's no way Maja would sit in your arms in front of me."

So, this woman must be a fake, possibly surgically altered to look like Maja.

Patric found the whole situation amusing, whispering in Maja's ear, "There's no other way. Just close your eyes and sleep."

Then he removed her hat and turned her face towards Ian.

Maja's eyes were closed, and her chin was held up, facing Ian.

That face, Ian would recognize it even in ashes.

This was Maja, with no sign of plastic surgery, even her scent was something he could detect.

It was at this moment she spoke.

"Ian, I want to be with Eric from now on. I married you to save the Pennyfeather family. I never loved you. I've been waiting for Eric. You can't even compare to one of his fingers. When he was gone, I could play the loving wife with you, but now that he's back, he's always my first choice. I'm sorry, it took me a long time to gather the courage to tell you this. Also, when I was captured by Judith, it was him who saved me. I finally understand my feelings. My previous feelings for you were just illusions. I was angry at him for disappearing for so many years and not looking for me. That's why I continued to be entangled with you after he appeared."

Maja knew Ian's character, so she knew what words could pierce his heart.

He had always lived under Eric's shadow, so let him know that the only one she liked was Eric. Eric was better than him, he was the best.

After Maja finished speaking, she buried herself deeper into Patric's arms.

In Ian's eyes, her actions showed that she was completely dependent on, and attached to, Patric.

"I don't believe it."

Maja thought he would leave in a huff, but he simply said these words calmly.

The next second, he quickly approached, grabbing her sleeve.

"I don't believe it, Maja. I won't misunderstand you anymore, really. You said I didn't trust you enough, see, I'm learning. Now, the person I trust most is you. I know you don't want to hurt me. Come with me, I'll sign the transfer document, and we'll go to North America together."
