Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1845

Felix followed the instructions meticulously until every trace of the day's turmoil was scrubbed away.

Carol could hear the makeup artist's voice through the phone, and that familiar sense of helplessness seeped through her bones once again.

She thought her heart had grown immune to pain, but in that moment, it ached as if a knife was twisting inside it.

Men like Felix could send you plummeting to hell one second and hoist you to the heavens the next.

Her lips trembled several times, but in the end, she bit down hard, refusing to speak.

Her silence wasn't surrender—it was sheer exhaustion.

It was the kind of tiredness that felt like giving up, like saying 'whatever'.

She fell asleep soon after.

Felix showered and lay beside her.

For the next three days, Carol drifted through life like a lost soul.

Many people called her, curious about what exactly had happened at the wedding, but then Felix took her phone away.

She didn't know how he responded to those inquiries, but the questions about that day ceased.

As for Nathan, it seemed that the Miller Group had demoted him, sending him to a branch office.

Since that day, Felix hadn't spoken a word to him.

Nathan knew that if it hadn't been for the need to take care of Fiona, Felix wouldn't have let things slide.

The day Nathan was transferred, it was raining; he was clutching his suitcase as he went downstairs, and he ran into Felix, who was surrounded by a crowd of fawning executives.

Nathan clenched his fists, his lips pressed into a thin line.

Felix dismissed the other executives and approached him.

Nathan had expected a fistfight, knowing Felix's ruthless nature.

But instead, Felix offered him a cigarette, asking if he smoked.

Nathan realized belatedly that he feared Felix, yet he was also filled with rage because the wedding had gone through.

"Nathan, Carol has caused you trouble," Felix said.

Nathan's anger flared, and he couldn't help but sneer, "What right do you have to say that? Who do you think you are to her?"
