Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1439

Maja and Ian had spent a night at the Sanders' family estate.

The next morning, the nanny came knocking.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, Mrs. Sanders requests your presence in the study."

A jolt of apprehension shot through her.

Ian, already dressed, wanted to accompany her but was stopped by the nanny.

"Sir, Mrs. Sanders only summoned Ms. Pennyfeather."

He halted, glancing at Maja.

Maja squeezed his hand, "I'll be back soon, don't worry."

"I'll wait outside the study. If anything happens, knock over a glass, and I'll come in."

"Alright."

He turned a cold gaze to the nanny.

"Mrs. Sanders didn't specify that I couldn't wait outside, right?"

The nanny hesitated, indeed there was no such rule.

Maja approached the study door and knocked. Mrs. Sanders voice called from within.

"Come in."

She pushed the door open and entered.

Only Mrs. Sanders was inside; the old man was nowhere to be seen.

She greeted her with due respect.

"Grandma."

As Mrs. Sanders's gaze fell on her, particularly when she saw her eyes, her expression softened.

"Your eyes, they're so much like Cynthia's."

It was the first time Maja had heard anyone from the Sanders family speak of Cynthia. She remained silent.

Mrs. Sanders continued.

"The fortune teller had warned us, Cynthia was bound to bring trouble. Augus could only survive by staying away from her, so we never approved of their union."

Not sure what Mrs. Sanders's aim was by bringing this up, Maja wisely kept quiet.

Mrs. Sanders set down her teacup.

"What did Mrs. Sanders say to you?"

Maja shook her head. Mrs. Sanders was about to speak, but the accidental spill of tea interrupted, and she was dismissed.

Voices echoed from the hall below; other members of the Sanders family had arrived early.

As Maja and Ian descended, they saw Mr. Sanders entering from outside.

Clearly, he had received the results he was seeking.

Mr. Sanders looked robust as he sat at the center of the sofa. He nodded slowly at Maja's approach.

"Come here, I've consulted with the fortune-teller."

Maja moved closer.

Beck was seated nearby, visibly uneasy.

At that moment, Mrs. Sanders came downstairs, changed into fresh attire, still exuding grace and dignity.

She sat beside Mr. Sanders, asking softly.

"Have the results arrived?"

Mr. Sanders nodded, "Yes, the fortune-teller said Maja and Ian are ill-suited for each other."
