Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1019

She suddenly reached out, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Ian."

Ian was still standing outside the car, unexpectedly embraced, and his heart softened.

"Maja, you've become much clingier since I returned."

This fool.

Maja didn't respond, simply releasing him in silence.

Ian was left standing outside the car, the passenger door still open.

He cupped her face, gazing at her for a minute before bending down to plant a tender kiss on her lips.

"Maja, I'm just trying to trust you."

His words left Maja frozen.

He kissed her lips again.

"When I hold you close, every cell in my body feels at ease. Now that we're together, I should trust you, right? I don't want any more mishaps."

He closed the car door, his eyes suddenly deep and intense.

"I don't care whether you've seen your first love or not. From the moment you said you liked me, you must draw a line with him! I overlooked the last incident, but you're not allowed to lie to me anymore."

Maja was practically at a loss for words.

Closing the car door, Ian moved to the driver's seat and drove towards Greenfield Gardens.

It was already five in the morning, and they would have to get up in an hour.

Maja was bathed in the bathtub, and despite the comfort she found in his care, the thought of the two nights with another man was a thorn in her heart, pricking her each time it surfaced.

She was restless when she returned to bed, wanting to confess but fearing that he would immediately break up with her.

People were always stronger when they had nothing to lose.

Once they had something, they feared losing it, and everyone was the same.

Ian held her close, closing his eyes.

"Up at half past six, we can still sleep for an hour."

Elsewhere.

Knowing Ian had returned, everyone was waiting to see him and Judith flaunting their love.

And indeed, at nine in the morning, Judith had arrived at the Raymond Corporation, her hand still carrying a lunch box, apparently here to bring Ian breakfast.

The receptionist greeted her with the utmost respect.

"Ms. Sanders, the CEO hasn't arrived yet."

Judith was slightly puzzled. It was already nine, and Ian, a workaholic, hadn't yet arrived at the office.

As she was about to inquire, she saw a man walking through the revolving glass door. It was Ian.

Dressed in a gray suit, Ian was conversing with Jeff beside him.

Judith's eyes brightened, and just as she was about to approach, she saw another person walking in from the main door, Maja.

Maja had originally planned to go to her own company, but Ian had insisted on bringing her here first.
