Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1833

Carol's mouth hung open, but no words came out.

The next morning, she still felt a sense of unease.

For the past two weeks, she'd been meticulous about contraception; there was no way she was going to let herself get pregnant with Felix's child.

Besides, she had been to the doctor before, who had told her that due to her frail constitution and a history of catching colds as a child, it wouldn't be easy for her to get pregnant.

After their true status had been revealed, she thought Felix would get tired of her quickly, but he became even more insistent than before, often pushing her to her limits.

Panic started to set in. Could there have been a mistake with the contraception?

That couldn't be. Felix used to wear protection himself, as he was always cautious about her not getting pregnant.

When exactly had he stopped? And why had she, Carol, started popping those pills so frequently?

Sitting on her bed, she felt her anxiety grew as she thought more about it.

After throwing up last night, Felix had forbidden her from leaving the house.

She was too restless.

She pulled out her usual birth control pills, which were nearly finished. They looked identical to the ones she'd taken before, a detail Felix wasn't aware of.

She rubbed her temples, wanting to call Maja, but her phone was nowhere to be found.

After searching under the pillows and around the room, she realized that her phone was gone.

It dawned on her then—her phone had been confiscated.

She hurried downstairs to borrow a phone from one of the housekeepers, but none of them had their phones on them.

Sitting back on the couch, Carol felt her unease intensified.

That evening when Felix came home, she confronted him.

"Where did you put my phone?"

Felix hung up his jacket in the foyer, and said in a nonchalant tone.

"I'm keeping it for now. You don't need to be distracted by electronics these days."

Carol's eyes narrowed, and her heart felt like it had been punched.
