Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1185

"Honey, our daughter will be over the moon. I remember you told me about that news you found online. I felt like my world was collapsing that day. I kept trying to call you, but you never answered. You must've been busy. When I saw the bruises on our kid's body, fear seized me. The investigation is still ongoing, and I must fight for justice for our little girl. If it turns out that Shawn has been wrongfully accused, I will clear his name online."

Eyes red, she wiped the tears away, "I've spent every waking moment taking care of our daughter, honey. If something were to happen to her, I don't think I could bear it."

Guilt can be an odd thing in a man. If not addressed immediately, it tended to evaporate as soon as he returned to business as usual. And in this case, business was Daisy.

"I'm going home, honey. Our daughter is waiting for the video. You should go back. Your artist needs you."

Peter looked at her, the redness around her eyes reminding him of the lunch she used to make. In that moment, he took a step closer.

"I'll go with you. We'll have dinner together tonight."

This offer was like a gift from God to Antonia. She couldn't wait to accept.

But then Maja's voice buzzed in her ear, "Reject him. He's trying to assuage his guilt with a single meal. As soon as he leaves your house, he'll forget all about your troubles. Refuse him now. Let him stew in his guilt for a few hours, thinking about what you've gone through and what's happening to your daughter. Daisy won't be easy to deal with. She'll definitely pick a fight with Peter."

Maja reminded her without hesitation.

“Daisy isn’t far from you. Now give Peter a kiss and then reject him. Later, the more seriously he and Daisy fight, the more intensely he’ll think of you.”

Antonia felt a pang of discomfort. Peter was finally willing to come home with her, to share a meal she'd prepared. And now she was being advised to refuse him. She couldn't do it.

"Antonia, if you don't listen to me, then your efforts today will be wasted."

Taking a deep breath, Antonia moved closer and wrapped her arms around Peter.

Just as he was about to push her away, she spoke softly, "You don't need to come home with me. I know you're busy. I'll take care of our daughter. I won't trouble you."
