Dear Ex-wife Marry Me

Chapter 808

Maja shouldn’t have to deal with all this crap. She was trying to understand: where did her uncle and aunt go wrong? They’ve never left Crystalbrook Valley, always influenced by their surroundings.

They lived in a culture where boys were favored over girls, so naturally they followed suit. So when they found out Olivia was carrying a boy, their decision made sense to them.
