Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1533

In North America.

Maja had been restless since she'd phoned home, haunted by dreams of Carol for two consecutive nights.

She then made two calls to Carol, and finding nothing unusual in Carol's tone, she eased her worries and focused on her affairs.

Still unable to locate Patric, the Sanders family had last night summoned a team of doctors for an emergency intervention for Augus. His condition required immediate attention.

Maja and Ian were now staying at a hotel, and she grew anxious upon hearing that the international team hadn't located the research base either.

"I need to contact K myself," she declared, convinced that facing danger was the only way to lure their adversary.

"No way!"

Ian dismissed the idea instantly.

K was determined to eliminate Maja, and revealing her location could mean a bullet flying her way the next second.

As Maja was about to protest, a knock at the door interrupted them.

She opened it to find her exact double on the threshold. It wasn't just a resemblance—it was as if she had been copied and pasted.

Her heart skipped a beat at the sight. Just as she was about to be on guard, she saw the woman walk over to Ian and bow her head respectfully.

"Sir."

She greeted and knelt on one knee.

Maja looked at Ian, clueless.

Ian, equally surprised by the woman's early appearance, hurriedly explained. "This is someone I trained a long time ago. We've performed a plastic surgery, and with the right makeup, she can perfectly impersonate you."

Anyone would feel uncomfortable seeing someone who looks so much like themselves standing before them.

Maja remained silent, and the woman continued kneeling.

She had to admit, the woman really resembled her, even her walking posture was a deliberate imitation of hers.

Ian took Maja's hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

"If someone has to be the target, let her do it. Maja, I'll take you back to the Sanders family to rest and take care of the pregnancy."

Maja frowned. Did this mean that Ian would be working with this woman?

Watching Ian drive away, Maja felt a twinge of anxiety.

Until the people from the Sanders family came out to take her inside.

Beck had arranged a quiet room for her and assigned two servants to attend to her needs.

Maja spent a restless first night reaching out to Ian for updates but next, she received a call from 00.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, we're en route to Astronia," said the voice on the other end.

Maja sprang from her seat. Astronia? Ian had never mentioned going there.

She ended the call and dialed Ian's number, but it went unanswered. She called 00 again, and 00's tone was so nonchalant it made Maja uncomfortable.

Because the tone was exactly like her own, it felt like she was talking to herself.

"We've got some clues on the research base, but there's an outbreak of an epidemic in Astronia. So Mr. Raymond won't risk taking you there. But don't worry, Ms. Pennyfeather, I'll take good care of him."

Take good care—00 assured her, an undercurrent of challenge in her tone.

The reassurance felt like a taunt, especially with Ian unreachable. Maja's anxiety spiraled, and with it, a growing discomfort in her belly.
