Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1146

Ian glanced at her, his eyes downcast, "Guess I'll head home then."

"Yeah."

Maja, umbrella in hand, returned to the living room only to find Rocky had left a trail of wet paw prints across the floor from the rain.

She frowned, "Go sit in the corner."

Off to the side was a large hair dryer specially for pets. Seeing it being switched on, Rocky quickly scurried over.

Unable to sleep, Maja stood by the window of the first floor, watching as Ian walked away. His silhouette looked lonely.

She showed no sympathy. His temper needed to be curbed, and if he didn't change, there was no need for them to be together.

As Ian left the Rosewood Manor, his car was already waiting, driven by Jeff.

Once inside, Jeff handed him a clean towel.

"Mr. Raymond."

Ian casually wiped his hair a few times before looking out at the pouring rain.

After the car stopped at Greenfield Gardens, he made a call to Dylan Sanders.

"I disagree with the engagement to the Sanders family. I won't see Judith anymore. And tell your sister to keep her friend, Wind, in check. If he messes with Maja, I won't be kind."

Dylan, a man of routine, was already fast asleep when he received Ian's call. The sudden news left him cold.

"Ian, are you messing with us?"

"Am I? I only said I would give it a try, and now I have. I found that I still like Maja."

"Ian!"

Dylan's eyes were icy. After a few seconds of silence, he took a deep breath, "The Raymond Corporation isn't invincible."

"Then try me."

After hanging up, he entered Greenfield Gardens. After showering, he blocked all of Judith's numbers on his phone.

Lying in bed, he instinctively reached out, only to grasp at air. He touched his lips, at least he had kissed her earlier. The rain was worth it.

Unable to sleep after few minutes’ trying, he took a cold shower, as if trying to cleanse himself. He spent the whole night soaking in cold water in the bathtub.

With the room's air conditioning at its lowest, his antics led to him waking up with a fever.

He asked Jeff to bring him a digital thermometer, took a picture of the reading, and sent it to Maja.

【Running a fever.】

Maja was just about to leave for work. She was still shaken by the bullet that hit her car window last night. So, she swapped her usual driver for a bodyguard from Rosewood Manor. His surveillance detection skills were top-notch, making the journey safer than if Zoey had picked her up.

Until the situation with the Sanders family was resolved, her movements were restricted to the company and Rosewood Manor. This was to ensure her safety.
