Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1378

Maja felt the restlessness within her subside as she admired the ring. In the quiet of the bedroom, she couldn't resist glancing at it again and again.

Though it didn't send her heart racing, she could at least sleep now.

She turned over and took another peek.

Then turned again for yet another look.

When Ian climbed into bed, he saw her fixated on the ring.

He had finished his nightly routine, scrubbing off the day's smell of smoke.

With one arm, he enveloped her, preventing her from rolling around the bed any further.

"It's getting late. Let's get some shut-eye, okay? We've got that appointment with Dr. Herrington tomorrow, remember?" he said softly.

Maja instantly stilled, nestling into his embrace.

"Ian, Dr. Herrington is a really good guy."

"Uh-huh."

"He saved me once, and he's always been so kind."

"Uh-huh."

"He's quite the genius too. Did you know he has an identical twin brother?"

Ian, who had begun to doze, snapped his eyes open at this, staring at the ceiling.

Realizing she might have said too much, Maja clamped her mouth shut.

"I'm rambling. Dr. Herrington said he doesn't have one."

"He said he doesn't?"

"Yeah."

Ian turned to look at her, a small chuckle escaping him, "Clever Phelps, outsmarted by his own cunning, huh?"
