Dear Ex-wife Marry Me

Maja picked up one of the sketches and her eyes lit up with satisfaction.

"Is there a copyright on this design? I'd love to buy it. You did all this yourself, right?"

She had come to North America with her twin toddlers to visit her parents.

lan had come along too, but he was back at the Sanders' household, looking after Rosemary Sanders and Craig Raymond, so he hadn't joined her for the shopping trip.

Stella was about to confirm that it was indeed her original work, but was interrupted by a mocking voice.

"Well, if it isn't our very own prodigy, Stella."

Stella frowned and glanced over to see Bonnie's best friend, Anna, strutting over with an air of arrogance, knocking over a stand in the process.

"Spending your days peddling your art here, just trying to scam these clueless folks, huh?"

Maja's brow furrowed, disliking this woman's tone instantly.

Anna, hands on her hips, looked at Maja with impatience.

"Don't tell me you don't know about her past plagiarism scandal? She was a pariah at our college, nobody wanted her stuff. And she brought shame to our school. You don't look like you're short on cash. Maybe you should seek out a professional jewelry designer instead." Stella stood up, facing Anna's smug expression, and hurled the object in her hand at her.

Anna was stunned. Usually, she followed Bonnie around, bullying Stella, and had never expected this timid woman to fight back.

Stella narrowed her eyes, "I said, I didn't plagiarize."

Anna scoffed.

"Not only did you plagiarize, but you also slept with a professor. Everybody knows the dirty deeds you did at school. Disgusting!" Now Maja finally understood who this woman was. This must be the Stella that Beck had mentioned.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

What a coincidence.

She continued examining the design, unable to deny its beauty.

"Is this your original work? Name your price, I want to buy it outright."

Seeing Maja was serious, Stella indicated with a finger.

"A hundred dollars."

Maja chuckled, "Done. But aren't you supposed to join the Sanders for dinner today?"

Just then, Stella's phone rang. It was Augus, informing her that Maja was in North America and inviting her to dinner that evening. Stella lowered her lashes, having heard about Maja and her story.

She was actually looking forward to meeting Maja, as she hadn't had a female friend before. At school, she was surrounded by Bonnie's lackeys, like Ama, who took pleasure in bullying her and then boasting about it to Bonnie.

Stella took a deep breath and smiled.

"Alright, I'll be there tonight."

After hanging up, Anna was about to continue her tirade but was blocked by Maja.

Anna, used to bullying people with Bonnie as if it were a daily routine was shocked to encounter resistance. She swung a slap at Maja but hit a wall of defiance instead.

en

Maja caught Anna's hand mid-swing and slapped her back without hesitation.

Anna's cheek swelled up instantly, and before she could curse out loud, she received another slap on her other cheek. Maja's palm ached, as if scolding the other woman, "Why resort to violence when you could have just talked it out?"

Anna was furious, her chest heaving

with rage, "Do you have any idea

who I am? My friends are with the

Sanders family. Ever heard of the Sanders family in North America?"

The Sanders family in North America?

What a small world.

Maja couldn't help but laugh, "You said it yourself, those are your friends, what does that have to do with you?"
