Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 788

When Holden heard those words, he let out a sarcastic laugh.

"I don't think I could face her. I was all over Maja, bragging about how amazing you were. And what's the result? She didn't fall for you."

Ian gave a small smirk in response.

"Didn't you want her to be your granddaughter-in-law, old man?"

Holden huffed again.

"I wouldn't force Maja. If you can't hold a marriage, just quit it and stop bothering me while I'm eating."

His words were straight to the point.

Ian stood up, even planning to take away the painting he brought.

"You're such a jerk!"

Holden was so furious that he swung his cane, making Ian put the painting down.

Back in the car, he looked at the passing scenery.

Finally, he told Jeff, "Take me back to Greenfield Gardens."

This matter would have to be solved slowly.

At a bar on the other side of town.

Connie was getting wasted. Ever since Ian exposed Penny's true identity and publicly criticized her, no one cared about her anymore.

Her grandpa did hire a psychologist, but it didn't help.

Connie knew very well that her biggest wish right now was to stop Ian and Maja from being together.

She was anxious and restless, couldn't sleep well, and now had to rely on alcohol for temporary peace.

Whenever she was sober, she was haunted by the humiliation she suffered at the hands of a kidnapper and the disgusting feeling of him on top of her.

She staggered to her feet, ready to leave, but bumped into a man.

This man was wrapped up tightly and didn't enter the bar. He was just pacing outside.

Connie, totally hammered, heard the man ask, "Does anyone know Maja?"

The man was Leo Elston, Maja's cousin.

His parents had both passed away and only Leo had managed to escape, but no one knew where he was.

Now he was at his wit's end, always feeling like he was being watched, like he was about to be killed at any moment. Desperate, he was looking for Maja.
