Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1284

Murray was seething, but dared not express his anger, and so was Olina. The thought of how Zoey used to keep their house immaculately clean and prepare meals for them without complaints, made the contrast glaringly apparent.

Now that Murray was married to Evelyn, they hardly even got to see him.

Olina lamented to Murray, but there was nothing he could do. Coupled with work-related stresses, he felt frustrated.

These days, he increasingly cherished the virtues of Zoey, the perfect wife and mother, so he couldn't help but wait for her downstairs at his office building.

When he saw Zoey, Murray almost didn't recognize her.

Zoey's style had become more elegant. Her camel-colored coat gave her an air of an aristocratic lady from the early 20th century.

His eyes lit up, and he called out, "Zoey."

Hearing his voice, Zoey showed a hint of disgust in her eyes, wanting nothing more than to avoid this conversation. She lowered her head, intending to get into her car.

But Murray approached quickly, his gaze sweeping over her.

"Zoey, it's been a while. You seem to have become more beautiful."

When he mentioned her beauty, his eyes shone even brighter.

Zoey, not wanting to waste her breath on this man, frowned, "What do you want?"

Murray knew he had overstepped in the past. He had abandoned her when their house was half-built, dumped her with the debt, and quickly hooked up with his boss's daughter. It was only natural that she would be cold towards him.

But didn't her cold demeanor imply that she couldn't let go of him?

Yes, they had been together for seven years, having known each other since their youth. Women, being sentimental creatures, tend to hold on to their relationships.

He sighed softly.

"Zoey, I didn't realize you took my words to heart. Your style is indeed more appealing now. I guess my marriage to Evelyn was a big blow to you. Seeing you like this, I find myself attracted."

Upon hearing his words, Zoey nearly gagged.

But Murray grabbed her wrist.

"I'm married now, yet you're still hung up on me. We were together for seven years, I know you can't let go. Zoey, I can give you a chance to stay by my side. Don't worry, I'll find time to be with you on weekdays, but I need to spend the weekends at my father-in-law's."

He was treating Zoey as a backup lover.

Zoey slapped him hard across the face.

"You're shameless, Murray. We were together for so many years, and I never saw through you."

Murray touched his cheek, his eyes glowing even brighter.

"Zoey, your anger only shows that you care about me."

After that, Zoey rarely went home, only making a phone call to greet her family during holidays.

Her mother didn't want her to come back, fearing that her husband was still infatuated with Zoey.

But Zoey, being kind-hearted, always remembered the hardships her mother endured while raising her. When she started earning money, she sent some home.

Even though she didn't visit, she never stopped sending money.

So even though her mother detested her, she would still pick up her calls.

The little bit of affection was bought by Zoey with money. She pretended not to know, but Murray saw through it a long time ago.

Zoey was a woman with an extreme lack of security. Since her parents couldn't provide her with a sense of security, she became deeply dependent on men.

In the past, Murray was that man for her.

Murray watched as the luxury car reversed, then audaciously drove past him, almost knocking him over.

If the person in the car really wanted his life, he would already be dead.

The person in the car was warning him.

Murray clenched his fist. How did Zoey come to know such a high-status individual?
