Chapter 25
Main was the chilliest and most rational woman he had ever met, making it hard to imagine her as a victim of domestic violence lan’s actions that night had been ruthless, and it was unfathomable that
such intimacy could leave visible marks Maja found herself in an incredibly awkward position now
He hes decent bo me, you know Everyone has diferent experiences in marriage,” Maja mplied
hesitantly defending her husband
Maxwell looked at her intently taking a deep breath “Well then, give your friend a call. I won’t feet right if
you don1”
Reluctantly Majalook out her phone and dialed Carol’s number Carol a bona fide nich kad and one of
her few friends arrived at the hospital two hours later After a brief conversation with Carol outside the
ward, Maxwell felt okay to leave.
Inside the room. Carol seeing Maas pale appearance, couldn’t help but complan Why didn’t you tell me
that lan was coming back? The guy has ignored you for three whole years, what the hell is he back for
now?”
Maja sighed. Probably to divorce me Everyone knows why we got mamed He had someone he liked,
so of course he wasn’t thrilled when they split”
His love interest? You mean his thing with Carlene? They broke up ages ago, I don’t buy that lan would
sta be hung up on her”
Maa coughed, taking the water Carol handed her Whether he’s hung up or not is none of my business.
As long as he pays me on time”
Carol found this amusing and sat down Right how could I forget you’re the clear headed one” Just as
she finished speaking, there was a knock at the door
When seeing Maa in the hospital bed. Tricia Majas sate poked her head in with a worried expression.
What happened? You look awful” She rushed over explaining that their dad had mentioned seeing
someone who resembled Maja and she came to check.
Before Tricia could finish, Neither father appeared at the door He didn’t expect to see Maja there, as
she rarely had male friends, let alone being brought to the hospital by a man who wasn’t lan
A wave of anxiety swept over him, and he blurted out Maja dont blame me for being nosy, but now that
you’re married, you should keep your distance from male coworkers to avoid causing trouble with the
Raymond family. “Neil’s mind was preocoupled with the divorce papers lan had sent to their house
Masa remember to call grandpa every month, even though he’s abroad If the Pennyfeather family’s
refinancing encounters any problems.
Sensing the tension, Tncia urgently interrupted, Dad, let’s talk about the company stuff after Maja gets
discharged,”
Only then did Nel stop taking Maja spoke up emotionlessly, Dad, when I agreed to marry lan three
years ago, I made it clear that I would only help once” Sacrificing her marriage for financial reasons
was shameful, and she refrained from being more direct, considering Nel’s aged appearance
Nel looked stunned, as he didn’t expect his usually obedient daughter to speak with such
determination. He stammered, “I’m just worried about you… Just rest up and let me know if you need Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
anything. Don’t worry about money or work too hard.”
Maa felt sad, but she knew that the Pennyfeather family might continue to cling to this marriage if she
didn’t clarify things. She didn’t want her father to exploit her marriage as a tool for business gains. Neil
should focus on making the Pennyfeather family independent through legitimate business rather than
relying on the relationship with the Raymond family for profit.
Observing the scene unfold, Carol couldn’t hold back her thoughts. “He’s trying to sell off his daughter,
but he doesn’t want to admit it.”
