Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1156

"Maja, head over here to change. After you're done, you can soak into the hot tub. You've been pulling all-nighters lately, haven't you? A soak in the tub should help you unwind."

Maja rubbed her aching neck, and the next moment, a soothingly cool hand landed on her neck.

"Let me help you with that."

Ian had a knack for being charming when he was really trying to pursue someone.

There was no one around at the moment, and the hot tub was shrouded in a mist that made the ambiance somehow intimate.

Their closeness, coupled with his hand gently massaging her neck, made the moment even more suggestive, "Is that too much pressure?"

Maja lowered her eyelashes, "I'll go change."

She had been really tired lately. The thought of soaking in a warm bath was enticing, especially since peaceful moments like this were probably going to be scarce. Judith was still in the hospital, and she had no idea how the Sanders family would react to her, the root cause of all the trouble.

As she left, a slight smile tugged at Ian's lips as he headed towards the changing room.

When Maja emerged in her swimsuit, Ian was just stepping out of his changing room. The sight of her made his pupils dilate.

Maja had fair skin, and the sky-blue dress clung to her body, emphasizing her curves.

He'd been intimate with her enough times to know how soft her waist felt under his touch.

He knew how captivating it was when her legs were wrapped around him.

Maja took a few steps forward before abruptly stopping and glancing back at him.

Ian froze, his body stiff. The next moment, he felt something trickling down his nose.

She hurriedly went into the changing room and came out with a wet wipe.

"Ian, you have a nosebleed."

Maja was a bit slow on the uptake in situations like this. She didn't realize that his nosebleed might be caused by the sight of her, instead assuming he'd overworked himself lately.

As she approached, he got a stronger whiff of her scent, which left him feeling slightly dizzy.

"Ian?"

Maja reached up to wipe his nosebleed.

It took him a good few seconds to recover, quickly averting his gaze, "I'm fine."

He took the wet wipe from her, tilting his head back slightly.
