Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 783

"Didn't Murray ever tell you about this?"

"Murray was worried about the kid disturbing me, and his mom shared the same concern, so the child has been staying with other relatives."

Suddenly, a daring idea popped into Maja's head, but she realized she had no proof and doubted Zoey would believe her.

"Zoey, go home right now and get a strand of hair from both Murray and the kid."

At this point, it was clear what she was suggesting.

Zoey sprang up.

"No way, Ms. Pennyfeather, this is not something to joke about."

Maja took a deep breath, gripping her by the shoulders.

"You're still an outsider to them. Do you really think Murray's mom would send her own son away for the sake of a stranger? There's a big chance this kid is Murray's. You were Murray's best choice before, so they didn't want you to find out. But now that Murray has a better option, they're not afraid anymore. Zoey, you're so savvy at work, how can you be so naive in love?"

With that, she dragged Zoey out of the convenience store.

"Just go get the hair samples. It's not hard for you. We'll do a paternity test."

Zoey felt weak all over, unable to say a word.

After a long pause, she croaked, "Ms. Pennyfeather, Murray wouldn't do something like this."

"Zoey!"

Maja was getting irritated. "Wake up! We're just guessing right now. If we're wrong, great! But we need to find out."

Maja was an emotionally clear-headed woman, and she felt the need to give other women some advice.

If a man's family sent away a child to avoid disturbing the girl, there's a big chance that child was his. No mother would send her child away to a stranger who hasn't even married into the family yet, unless there's something wrong with the child's identity or health.

If it's a health issue, it's likely genetic.

Some women may think it's a sign of how much the man valued them, but it's actually a deceptive tactic.

Zoey didn't speak, just rubbing her forehead.

"It's late now. I'll bring them tomorrow."

"Alright, I'll give you the day off tomorrow."

"Thanks."

Maja could see she wasn't okay and wanted to say more, but Zoey clearly didn't want to talk. She turned and headed into the house.

Just as she was about to enter, she saw Murray coming out.
