Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1385

Maja approached the bed and trailed her fingers from his chest downward, causing Ian’s breathing to became erratic as he watched her intently.

When she touched him more intimately, his voice shifted in pitch—

A wave of satisfaction washed over his handsome face, marked by his striking features.

Despite Maja’s lack of experience, and perhaps due to Ian’s excitement, the intensity of their encounter only lasted half an hour.

But he didn't feel embarrassed in the slightest; sweat glistened on his chest as his fingers entwined with hers.

"Maja, you're incredible."

The words made Maja the one feeling awkward. She pulled her hand away.

"Once your wound is completely healed, we'll figure out how to deal with Phelps. He probably knew the place has been destroyed by now."

Ian sat on the edge of the bed, catching his breath, and his already remarkable features were even more compelling.

"Okay."

At breakfast time, some core members of the fight club surrounded the dining table, with Nydia being the notably essential.

This was the first time Nydia had seen Ian since his injury, as Maja had been guarding him too close over the past few days.

Nydia wanted to speak with Maja, but Maja was quietly cutting her food with a knife and fork, looking as if she didn't want to engage with anyone.

Nydia instantly understood. Though it was a tactic she had discussed with Ian, she had indeed pulled the trigger and hurt him.

Until Ian's wounds were healed, Maja wouldn't let go of that grudge.

But, after all, she was the future lady of the mansion, so Nydia took the initiative to break the ice.

"Maja, you haven't been down to the three levels beneath the fight club, have you? The stakes down there are life and death, and Ian used to fight people there."

Maja's utensils halted, and she furrowed her brows.

"Why would he fight there?"

"Don't you know? Besides being the boss of this underground, he's also known as Barlow, a famed boxer. Very few know of this alias. Those who talk about him say he's reckless of death, but in this gambling casino, who isn't? Though wild as they are, none are daring as Ian. You haven’t heard how he..."

Before she could finish, she noticed Ian beside Maja, desperately winking and gesturing for her to stop.

Nydia, who hadn't been in a relationship for over a decade, had forgotten what it felt like to be in love, let alone the fact that when you love someone, you wouldn’t want them participate in such life-threatening games.

She had intended to get closer to Maja over Ian’s antics, but now she realized she had made a blunder.
