Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209 

The relaxed expression on Maja’s face suddenly froze. She hesitated, “I think we’ve been here once or twice.” 

Her husband had only taken her to such a restaurant once or twice. 

lan frowned, but he didn’t say anything in the end. After all, this was someone else’s personal business. 

His fingertips rested on the table, contrasting with the red roses on the side, looking even more attractive than usual. 

Maja quickly forgot her troubles. She was looking at his fingertips. Beside his fingers were a few bright red roses. 

The composition was excellent. She could draw it when she got home, then take a nap and wake up to go to Crystalbrook Valley lan noticed that she wasn’t talking and was staring at his hand. 

Her gaze was blatant, full of admiration and praise. 

Just as lan was about to speak, he looked up and saw a man and a woman approaching from not far away. The man was Nathan 

Nathan clearly hadn’t seen Maja; he was laughing and joking with a woman. 

The woman seemed a bit pretentious, lightly tapping on his shoulder. Nathan’s cheeks instantly turned red; he looked embarrassed, scratching his head 

The two sat down in a comer, Nathan’s hand resting on the table. 

The woman said something to him, then placed her own hand on the back of his, looking very intimate. 

Nathan’s face tumed even redder, but he didn’t pull his hand away. 

The woman was his female coworker at Silverstone Enterprises. She had asked him to drive her home that night. 

Nathan was quite active in the department, but no one knew about his family situation, and he hadn’t disclosed it to anyone. 

In modern society, men and women would want to know about each other’s family situations. 

Nathan had always been low-key. To others, his behavior seemed a bit suspicious. 

On that particular evening, Nathan’s female colleague was unable to find a taxi and ended up stranded on the side of the road. As luck would have it, she spotted Nathan driving a Mercedes. She was surprised for a moment. 

Nathan was driving a Mercedes! 

They were all just low-wage earners. But if someone could drive a Mercedes to and from work, their family must be well-off. He probably had a flat in the city center too. 

His coworker was a bit jealous, so she invited him to this restaurant to discuss work. 

Nathan had never been pursued by a woman so actively before. He knew it was all thanks to the Mercedes. 

His family had always been poor, and he wasn’t handsome, so few women wanted to get close to him. 

Now this woman who was coming onto him was not bad looking and was trying to get close to him He didn’t want to refuse; he was still single. 

lan watched this scene, frowning, then his gaze fell on Maja. 

Maja had no idea Nathan was there. The table where Nathan was sitting was out of her sight. 

But she could sense that lan’s o gaze on her had become full of sympathy. 

“Mr. Raymond? Maja was a bit confused. Had something happened? 

lan remained silent. He stared at the beautiful woman in front of him. She might not know that her husband was just behind her, cheating on her with someone else. 

The waiter pushed the food cart over and served the dishes from the set menu. 

This restaurant wasn’t particularly high-end, but the prices were higher than average. Maja chose this place just because it was open until midnight. 

She felt a bit guilty for inviting lan to a place like this. 

But high-end restaurants usually required reservations, and there wasn’t enough time. 

“Mr. Raymond, if you don’t like the food here, I can take you to another restaurant another day.” 

She pushed a glass of milk towards lan, “You have stomach problems, so you shouldn’t drink coffee at night.” 

lan glanced at her. But his gaze fell on the people at a table not far away. 

The two had started drinking, and the woman seemed to be deliberately getting close to Nathan, kissing him on the lips. 

Nathan was not used to being aggressively pursued by a woman, but since she showed such strong interest, he decided to accept her advances. 

Soon they were kissing passionately. 

lan had some promiscuous friends, but this was the first time he had seen such intimacy in a public place: 

He didn’t like late-night snacks, to begin with, and now seeing this, he had completely lost his appetite. 

Maja also heard their kissing noises and couldn’t help turning her head to look. 

When she turned her head, lan felt he might be in for a show tonight.
