Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1945

At that moment, she finally understood the kinds of things people do when they're not in their right mind. The awkwardness was so intense she wished she could just vanish from the face of the earth.

Fitch pocketed his phone and pulled her close. "Having second thoughts?"

Zoey's cheeks flamed even hotter, her blush spreading to her neck. They stayed like that for a while, her eyelashes fluttering down, "No, it's just..."

Everything had happened so fast between them. And considering she had just broken up with her boyfriend, did he really not mind at all? His eagerness almost gave her the illusion that he had an ulterior motive. But Fitch was leagues above her in every aspect. What could he possibly want from her?

She couldn't figure it out, nor understand the nature of his enthusiasm. Yet, as she gazed at his gentle face, she suddenly felt a desire to give in. After all, thinking back on their time since they met in Zion City, Fitch hadn't done anything to truly hurt her. Once you start thinking like that, the scales in your heart slowly begin to tip.

Zoey, held in his embrace, heard him ask softly, "Hungry for anything?" After all the commotion and the long sleep, she must be hungry. When Zoey couldn't decide, he went ahead and prepared some food for her.

She got dressed in new clothes and felt clean all over, probably taken care of while she was asleep. Blushing again, she walked into the living room to find him working on a laptop, an unmistakable smile on his face. Liking someone can't be faked, and seeing his obvious mood shift made her heart soften. Why couldn't it be that he genuinely liked her?

They slowly enjoyed breakfast, and he wiped off some milk from her lip, sending a shiver down her spine. Feeling utterly drained, Fitch wrapped an arm around her waist and led her to the couch. "Let's just rest here, we can head back in the afternoon."

"Nolan was home alone last night, he’s okay, right?"
