Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77 

That night’s scene floated back into his mind. 

He remembered the two dimples on her back, located just above her sacrum, on either side of her spine. These dimples, known in the art world as “Venus Dimples, were considered one of the most enticing features of the human body. 

Now, Maja was standing before him. Her figure was elegant, slightly leaning forward. This posture reminded him of that night when he held her waist tightly. lan’s eyes flickered, and his throat bobbed. 

The air was thick with sexual tension, Maja’s hand gripping her paintbrush, her body warming up 

She heard his footsteps getting closer, a wave of heat washing over her from behind. She tensed up but lan just walked past her, picking up another paintbrush. 

His chest lightly brushed against her back, separating immediately after. 

But that warmth seemed to seep through their clothes and into their skin. 

Maja stood frozen, watching lan dip his brush into her palette and make a few strokes on the wall 

He didn’t ruin the painting. His idea perfectly aligned with Maja’s: she had planned to paint that area the same way. 

She quickly pushed away her other thoughts, continuing to paint calmly. 

Perhaps lan was just trying to warm his hand, so he put down the brush after a few strokes. 

“Mr. Raymond, it’s late. Don’t you plan on getting some rest?” 

“Ive got a headache.” 

Maja said nothing further, quietly calming her emotions, and focusing on the unfinished part of the painting. 

An hour later, she couldn’t help but glance back. 

lan was gone. The room was empty. 

She breathed a sigh of relief, her painting speed picking up. 

She worked until seven in the morning, finally finishing. Maja felt so tired she was swaying on her feet. 

She set her paintbrush and palette aside, knowing someone would clean up later, and went back to her room exhausted. 

After a quick shower, she collapsed onto her bed, falling asleep almost immediately. 

The painting on the white wall was completed, and the staff at Riverside Haven had begun their work. 

lan fmished his company’s business for the day and heard a knock on the door. Jeff was inviting him to dinner. 

lan stepped out of his room to see several leaders waiting outside. 

They exchanged a few words, then mentioned they received a batch of high-quality fish in the middle of the night and wanted to treat him, their esteemed guest. lan had no choice but to follow them. 

As they made their way towards the dining hall, they inevitably passed by the wall adorned with the painting. One of them stopped, unable to resist praising it. 

“Mr. Raymond, do you like this painting? You mentioned yesterday that this white wall was too plain, so we invited a student from Arcadia School of Modern Art. It’s amazing she finished it in one night.” 

Upon mentioning Maja, all the leaders wore contented smiles. 

“That girl is truly exceptional. Her mother passed away, and her father runs a company and doesn’t have time to take care of her, so she came here for high school. We didn’t expect her to be the only student in the county to get into Arcadia School of Modern Art.”
