Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1729

Carol had covered all of Listina's medical expenses, leaving Felix with 20 grand in his pocket.

After picking up the gift set, he toted it back home, not expecting to bump into one of Listina's friends there. He didn't spot them, but they sure did him. Surprised, she snapped a photo of him.

Listina, still in the hospital, received the picture.

[Listina, your guy Felix is just amazing, sticking by you through thick and thin, working his tail off, and he's right there even when you're sick. You just got out of surgery, and he's already got this fancy gift for you. I'm green with envy!]

She might not have tried those brands before, but Listina knew of them, and her lips curved into a smile. Seeing someone praise Felix naturally made her happy.

[He's like that, always wanting to give me the best of everything. Thank goodness the surgery went well; I don't know what he'd do on his own.]

[You must have saved a galaxy in your past life to land such a catch. Handsome and faithful to boot.]

Continuing to smile, Listina thought about her upcoming birthday. Felix must have bought the gift set for that.

The skincare set wasn't cheap, probably costing over a thousand bucks, but he was clearly willing to splurge.

She felt a warm glow in her chest, wishing she could see him right then. But since it was meant to be a surprise, she played it cool to avoid letting him down.

When Felix returned to their apartment, Carol was still sprawled on the couch. He set the box down, covered the leftovers on the dining table with cling film, and stashed them in the fridge.

Then he scooped Carol up and carried her to the bedroom to help her out of her clothes. Carol, groggy, swatted his hands away.

"I need a shower."

She was a stickler for cleanliness, too tired or not. Plus, after a shift at the diner, she reeked of grease.

"Sleep now, shower in the morning."

"No way, I feel grimy. Gotta wash."

He rubbed his temples and went to adjust the shower temperature for her.

Carol hopped in for a quick wash, suddenly realizing she was hungry. She wandered into the living room, intending to grab some bread from the fridge, but instead, her eyes landed on a set of skincare products on the couch.
