Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1826

Was it possible that she had set a trap, lining up her pawns at the villa to ambush her?

[Bitch, are you really that kind?]

Listina's loathing for Carol ran deep. If it hadn't been for her, she and Felix would have already been married.

Carol, remaining silent, only sent a picture of Felix being sprawled out on the bed.

[Come take care of him. Maybe you can take advantage of his drunken state to have a little fun with him. I've got to head out now, got some important stuff to handle. Listina, I'm only giving you this one chance. Whether or not you can really snag Felix is up to you. By the way, you could do what you did to me last time—capture your little rendezvous in photos. That way, Felix will surely call off the wedding with me and propose to you instead. Isn't that what you've always dreamed of?]

Listina's eyes went wide as saucers. She couldn't believe that Carol was actually giving her a shot at Felix tonight.

[Fine, I'll be right there! And Carol, if you're playing me, I swear you'll regret it!]

It was Felix’s birthday, after all. She'd sent him so many messages tonight without a single reply. She hadn't expected him to be out cold, drunk.

Listina slipped into her most provocative dress and hurried over to the villa next door.

As she stood before the door, she felt her nerves jangled with the fear that this was some scheme of Carol's.

But when the door swung open, there was Carol, with her handbag in tow, looking like she was indeed heading out.

Listina swallowed hard. "Where's Felix?"

"Upstairs. And Listina, if you blow this, you're utterly useless."

With that, Listina charged upstairs, while scoffing, "Ha! As if I'm you—someone he can't even stand to sleep with when it's handed to him on a plate. Just you wait. After tonight, he won't be able to live without me. I'll pull out all the stops to make him happy. Now get lost."

Watching Listina's eager departure, Carol raised an eyebrow.

She didn't know why Felix had taken to the bottle tonight. Ever since the Millers' ordeal, he'd become cautious, rarely letting his guard down like this.

But it did present her with an opportunity.

She wouldn't marry Felix, not if she listened to her father. Yet with the wedding imminent, she had to do something to ruin it.

If Felix was so smitten with Listina, could he truly abandon her after a night of passion?

When the time came, she'd appeal to his emotions and reason. Perhaps then he'd agree to sign the rest of the release papers.

Then she could take Abner and start anew abroad.

That’s what Carol had planned, and that’s why she forced herself to make this tough call.
