SWNOVELS Chapter 25
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 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.”
