Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1735

"Felix, I just knew it. In your heart, I'm always the one that matters most."

She was brimming with contentment, her mood exceptionally bright.

Felix sat on the edge of the bed, about to say something, when his phone chimed again. He thought it might be Carol.

But when he checked, it was that unknown number.

[I'm at your folks' gravesite. Honestly, didn't expect it to be this out of the way.]

Back then, Felix was too young and didn't have much money. Just burying a few people in the same place had been a struggle, let alone affording a fancy cemetery.

This message was like challenging his bottom line.

Abner probably had no idea these people died because of him. He just wanted to get under Felix's skin with these biting words.

Felix's resolve hardened instantly. It was time to take a slice at the Miller Group. He'd show Mr. Miller what happened when he crossed the line.

After leaving the hospital, he returned to his apartment. Carol was indeed alone, lying on the couch, genuinely feverish.

Her cheeks were flushed with heat when she saw him. She turned her head away, anger bubbling up, "Why are you here? Just let me burn up. Let's just break up; I really don't need you."

Felix wrapped his arms around her, patting her back gently. Tears spilled from Carol's eyes as she bit down on his shoulder.

"Carol, let me work at the Miller Group, starting from the very bottom."

She stiffened, having thought he would reject anything to do with the Miller Group. She hadn't expected him to say such a thing.

"I'll prove myself to your father."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Carol's eyes as she remembered all the finance books at Felix's place. Perhaps he had been waiting for an opportunity; perhaps he too was not content to settle.

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah."
