Chapter 687
He was just wearing a towel, his upper body completely bare.
The smooth lines of his chiseled muscles became even more prominent as he leaned back, exposing his Adam’s apple.
He sat quietly for a while before slightly turning towards her, propping his own head up with one hand.
Maja also turned to look at him, shivering slightly under his intense gaze.
In fact, lan had become even more willful and rough after losing his memory, like someone freshly out of the military.
Maja once resented him, but no matter what, he was always there, like a persistent ghost.
“Penny, be my girlfriend.”
He said this lightly, his hand on the back of her neck, forcefully pulling her towards him.
In front of her, he dropped the pretentious mask.
?
“I don’t want to see you like this. If you have problems in the future, just come to me, and I’ll help you. You support me, and I’ll support you.”
Maja didn’t say anything, so he leaned in and kissed her lightly on the lips.
“Whatever you want to do, I will pave the way for you. After you’ve done what you want, you can kick me to the curb. But during that process, you can’t betray me. Whatever I want, whenever and wherever, you must give it to me.”
He spoke while lightly brushing her lips.
For a moment, Maja was indeed bewildered. Any woman would have a hard time refusing such an offer.
But then she remembered the intimate scene he had with the woman in the box. She had heard the whole thing from outside.
He could even sleep with women during social occasions.
She furrowed her brow, immediately putting distance between them, her face instantly turning cold.
“Mr. Raymond, I appreciate that you saved me, but I’ll pass on being your girlfriend.”
If she really fell for him, who knew how much suffering she would endure.
I
She didn’t feel deep love for him yet, so keeping her distance was the best choice.

“If I hadn’t been there tonight, you would have been humiliated by those people. Don’t you believe that? What are you struggling with? Or did I do something to upset you in the past?”
Maja’s face instantly turned red; her head was already throbbing, and now he was provoking her.
She got up to go to her bedroom, but lan yanked her back.
“Explain yourself!”
Maja’s rationality suddenly disappeared. She shook off his hand.
“Because doing that kind of thing with you makes me sick! I don’t even know how many women you’ve slept with.”
The word “sick” was like a sharp knife, making lan unable to move.
It hurt more than any gunshot wound he had ever had.
He got up, and without hesitation, he pinned her against the wall.
“So who wouldn’t make you feel disgusting doing that kind of thing with? Your ex–husband? Or those guys in the elevator? You forgot how I just saved you. How can you be so heartless!”
lan had never been so angered, even thinking about how he still saved her knowing that she had made a deal with Carl, his anger was even more intense.
But when he saw her fierce expression; his anger instantly subsided, only feeling a sense of helplessness.
After a while, he said, “Am I not good enough?”
When he asked this question, he lowered his head, and his tone became gentler, “Or did I treat you badly before?”

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
