Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1693

She meant it when she said she was going to pursue him. At that moment, her heart was in it.

But Felix gently pushed her away, picked up a bottle of water from the ground, and offered it to her lips.

"Drink up."

Did he think she was drunk?

Carol found the notion amusing, her lips curling into a smile as she looked up at him.

"Hey, for real, you don't have a girlfriend, do you?"

"How many jobs you working? Where at? I'll swing by when I'm free, maybe bring you a burger or something."

Chasing someone usually meant persistence. To Carol, Felix seemed like a clean slate, likely to cave in after just a few days of her relentless attention.

That was her plan, anyway.

But she had misjudged him. Felix put the water bottle in her hand and walked away without a backward glance.

Surprised, Carol sprinted after him.

But he didn't even give her a second look, continuing on until he reached the bus stop. There, Felix finally paused.

Carol stood behind him, pondering for a moment before speaking up. "Felix, how about you give me your number? I'm all alone here in Greenfield, no family or friends. Plus, I've got a little brother back home, and everyone's counting on me to make enough to help with his down payment. I really have no one to talk to."

She had a playful smile on her face as she spoke.

After a moment's thought, Felix took her phone and saved his number into it.

As he boarded the bus and rode away, Carol didn't follow. Instead, she immediately started looking for a small apartment to rent.

If she was going to play the part of being broke, she'd do it right.

It didn't take long for her to find a cramped apartment to rent—not even as spacious as the pool back at her parents' house. Yet, the thought of what was to come filled her with a sense of novelty.
