Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1651

Maja rolled out of bed, her feet sinking into the plush carpet beneath her. She pushed open the bedroom door, only to find the hallway occupied.

There stood three men.

Flanked by Fitch and Tyler, Beck looked a tad uneasy.

"I've been searching non-stop. How would I know?"

"What do you mean you don't know? Jesus, Beck, you got beef with Ian or something? You want to pick a new beau for your sis? I remember you two brawling once. You've had it in for him all along, haven't you?"

Beck's face darkened with anger. "Tyler."

His eyes caught Maja as she emerged, and he quickly lowered his voice, "Maja has been on edge lately. Let's not rile her up with this talk, okay?"

Tyler instantly raised his hands in surrender, signaling his lips were sealed.

Maja managed a faint smile, and her mood seemed stable.

They moved to the living room, and her gaze lingered on Fitch.

Fitch had a vibe similar to Dylan's but he was colder and more rigid. Even with his own sister Mia, he rarely smiles. Yet Dylan had always been attentive and caring, even towards the phony of the Sanders family.

"Fitch, how's Zoey been?"

Fitch went abroad mainly to avoid some trouble, but even here, he couldn't escape the mention of Zoey.

He didn't respond, his eyes fixed on the coffee on the table.

Tyler jumped in hastily, "She's great. Your company's been killing it lately. I bet you missed the live-stream. Cornelia and Shawn nabbed awards. Wilma took home the newcomer prize. You guys swept the acting categories. The endorsement deals must be rolling in. Zoey's probably swamped."

Maja let out a noncommittal "Oh."

Suddenly remembering that the Bennitt family had crossed Maja before, and Wendy was someone she had taken down herself, Tyler laughed awkwardly.

"Come on, you're about to be a mom and still holding grudges? I had nothing to do with the Bennitts' deeds."

Did Maja not know Tyler's nature? He loved chaos, and lived for the drama, all for the so-called inspiration for his scripts.

When she was with Ian, Tyler had never missed a chance to stir the pot.

Tyler leaned back, tossing an apple in his hand.

"Besides, Carol's dad is behind bars. She must be feeling terrible. That Felix is not an easy guy to deal with. She used to hang out at the BlueSky Bar, but I haven't seen her around lately. Makes me wonder if she's been kept at home."

A buzz rang in Maja's head as the jail was brought up. "Wait, Carol's dad is in jail? Why? What happened with Felix?"

Tyler's heart skipped a beat. He had assumed Maja already knew, but apparently, she was clueless.

He became visibly uneasy; it was guilty for him to make Maja, who was pregnant, learn of more unhappy news.

"Ha, I was just rambling."

Fitch gave Tyler a look that screamed 'idiot.'

Maja snatched the apple he was still holding.

"What's happened with the Millers?"
