Lindsay thought her brother was joking. After all, Greenfield was miles away from home, and he’d never ventured beyond their small town. He had no idea how to buy a ticket or even catch a bus. She chuckled to herself, assuming he was just being endearingly naive.
“Haven’t I promised I’d visit soon? You need to stay put and watch over the kids, or I’ll be really upset. And if I get upset, I might just decide I don’t want you around anymore.”
Her brother’s greatest fear was being abandoned by his sister.
Panic washed over his face instantly. “I... I’m staying home, watching the kids, Sis. Please don’t... don’t leave me.”
Seeing his distress, Lindsay softened her tone, trying to soothe him. “As long as you do what I say, I’ll always be here for you.”
“I’ll listen, I promise. I’ll be good,” he said earnestly before hanging up.
No sooner had he put down the phone than Maggie slapped him hard across the face.
Maggie was furious. She had hoped he would lure Lindsay out so she could gather more information. Instead, he’d blabbered nonsense.
He didn’t understand why he was being hit and certainly didn’t dare retaliate.
Maggie was already at her wit’s end. She’d gone through all the trouble of getting this man to Greenfield, and he was utterly useless. Her frustration turned to anger as she threatened him further.
“Call your sister again. Make sure she comes out this time, or I’ll leave you to fend for yourself in this big city. Without her, you’ll have no food, maybe not even survive. And then you’ll never see her again.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
