Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 2254

When Maggie saw Marlon, a flicker of hurt crossed her eyes.

“Marlon...”

Marlon leaned back casually, “If you’ve got something to say, just spit it out. If you’re here to reminisce, I’ll have you shown the door.”

Maggie had always known he wouldn’t pull any punches, and any pretense of tenderness quickly faded from her face.

Marlon gestured to the couch beside him, inviting her to sit.

After Maggie sat down, her expression regained its composure.

Grandma Edith spoke up, “Since Marlon’s here too, why don’t you tell us about Kerwin again?”

Maggie had come precisely for this reason, letting out a dry laugh, “Alright then, I was planning to bring this up today anyway.”

She pulled a photo of Kerwin from her purse. Because Kerwin’s eyes bore a striking resemblance to Marlon’s, Grandma Edith and Marlon recognized him instantly as one of the Kellers.

Maggie was determined now; if she didn’t drag Athena down with her, she might end up being shipped off abroad. She couldn’t just sit back and do nothing!

“Marlon, take a good look at this face. Remember when the Keller family was in turmoil? Didn’t I tell you your dad had a child out of wedlock? Sure, it wasn’t entirely his fault; someone set him up. But your mom was heartbroken, not just because your sister went missing, but because she knew about your dad’s infidelity. She could never let it go, and it broke her heart. She even tried to harm the woman who was pregnant with Kerwin. That woman barely escaped and gave birth to Kerwin back home. So, Kerwin is your half-brother.”

Marlon furrowed his brow, itching for a cigarette.

Maggie sensed he was starting to recall something.

“You were disgusted by your dad’s son from another woman, as was Grandma Edith. It was a stain on your dad’s reputation, and on your parents’ love. When I told you that the illegitimate child went to the same high school as me, you couldn’t wait to act. That child was Kerwin—Athena’s favorite person at the time. Don’t you think it’s suspicious how Athena suddenly became a Keller? Maybe you didn’t know how deeply she felt for Kerwin. She would’ve done anything for him, even risk her own life. Could it be that she learned the truth and got close to you with a plan, crafting some story about being the long-lost daughter?”

As Maggie spoke, she smiled, especially noticing the change in Marlon’s expression, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
