Dear Ex-wife Marry Me

As Maja entered the room, she saw a woman around 28 years old sitting on the sofa watching TV while

her aunt Susan Elston was busy cooking.

The woman on the sofa put down the apple she was munching on when she saw Maja.

“Oh, back from the big city, huh? The place is a bit of a mess. Go find somewhere to sit.”

Daly and Susan wore awkward expressions on their faces but remained silent.

Susan pulled Maja over, gave her a once-over, and then couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “You look

thinner. Did your dad only care about that woman and forget about you?”

“Definitely. Her mom passed away years ago. Men are just like that, they find a prettier woman, and

they forget about their ex-wife.”

The woman speaking was Olivia, Maja’s sister-in-law and a member of the household. She seemed

cold and sharp, casting a glance towards the kitchen.

“Food’s not ready yet, and you got time for chit-chat?”

Susan had to let go of Maja’s hand, “Maja, sit down, dinner’s almost ready.”

Maja frowned.

Olivia rolled her eyes, “I’m just stating the facts. Your family properties are all that woman’s now Your

dad hasn’t been back for years. He’s only supporting you because you’re useful to him.”

Maja slightly lifted her head and looked at Olivia. Her anger was stirred.

“My family affairs are none of your business.”

Olivia rolled her eyes again, “Sure, your family’s loaded, with a big company in the city. I heard one of

your cars is worth millions. Why would you need to argue with a poor person like me? The money we

make in our lifetime is less than what you make in a day.”

Daly pulled Maja a bit, hinting her not to argue with Olivia, his eyes even pleading.

Taking a deep breath, Maja decided to ignore Olivia’s remarks.

Olivia snorted, walked back to her bedroom in her high heels, and slammed the door, blasting the

music. Even when the neighbors came to complain, she didn’t come out. Daly sighed and went to

apologize to the neighbors helplessly.

Watching this, Maja understood why Daly and Susan were so tolerant of Olivia.

She couldn’t say anything to Olivia either.

Olivia clearly didn’t welcome her. In fact, she hadn’t planned to stay here overnight.

After dinner, when Maja said she wanted to leave, Susan immediately held onto her.

“Maja, your room is ready. I just changed the sheets, it’s a waste of money for you to stay in a hotel,

plus it’s not safe. Just stay the night here.”

Olivia couldn’t help but snicker, sarcastically saying:

“She can’t afford a hotel? Why are you worrying about her? Better to care more about us.”

Maja bit her lip, if it wasn’t for Daly and Susan, she would’ve had a big fight with Olivia.

Susan held onto her tightly, looking guilty and uneasy.

Maja smiled and reassured, “Auntie, really, it’s not necessary. I’ve already booked a hotel room…

Before she could finish, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Daly went to open the door and saw it was Mr. James from Crystalbrook Valley.

Mr. James saw Maja, as if he saw a savior.

Thank goodness the college student is back! The higher-ups specifically asked me to come. They

wanted a painting on the white wall of Riverside Haven to welcome the guests. But they’re worried that

bought murals would be too tacky and upset the guests. Maja is a student at the Arcadia School of

Modern Art. They asked me to see if you would be willing to do the mural? We provide accommodation

and an extra hundred dollars. How about it?“

Maja breathed a sigh of relief. Perfect excuse.

“Okay, I’ll go. What kind of painting?”

“Anything that blends with the surrounding. Daly told me this afternoon you were coming. I let it slip to

the Boss. We’ve got a lot of important people coming to our county lately. We can’t afford any mistakes.

If you’re willing to help, that would be great.”

Maja looked at Daly and Susan.

“Uncle, Auntie, you heard it. They need my help.”

Susan no longer tried to stop her. She and Daly saw her to the door.

Maja picked up her luggage and got into her car

As they arrived at Riverside Haven, Maja noticed a Bentley parked outside. The license plate seemned

vaguely familiar.
